To everyone on the list who sent in their replies re: insomnia;

I want to thank everyone for their replies to my request for information re:

insomnia. Most of the replies came after I left the country and was thrown

into some new pattern. I was gone for 3 weeks, traveled to Israel and,

amazingly, the jet lag and travel and whatever else I experienced, put me

back on track. I am sleeping now. It is all a mystery to me. I have suffered

from insomnia for so many years!!!! I feel it is cyclical with me, hormonal,

or based on some internal patterns. In any event, I am praying to be able to

sleep as the jet lag wears off. In the meantime I have kept all of your

replies and I thank you for all of the valuable information.

I was happy to read all of your messages when I returned.

With blessings to you all for the coming year/millenium;

Eva

Dear Chandu Askani,

I have a family member who had something similar to chrons, we ordered a protein powder with vitamins and minerals, we mixed it with juice, not milk and this helped.

It gave her valuable nutrients and helped her through some difficult times when she was unable to eat. We had to experiment with the juices, but finally found that apple or papaya juice worked well with half of a banana. During the good times, she gained a little weight and during the difficult times she didn't lose as much.

Perhaps something like this could be helpful for you?

Regards,

Lee
