Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 A good friend of this site wrote me this brief message and link to post anonymously on the site for those of us who have trouble sleeping:L-Tryptophan is backhttp://www.heartlandnatural.com/naturalhealth/Hibernation/index.htm That is indeed good news. L-tryptophan is the substance that make so many of us drowsy after Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners that included goodly portions of Turkey. Or after a turkey sandwich and glass of milk for that matter (for those of you without adverse reactions to dairy products, and even then preferably organic no-fat/low fat milk or non-pasteurized milk). Along with valerian root and, for many, melatonin - it is one of the best natural sleep aids I know about (unless I could somehow resurrect my old high school latin teacher . . .)For those with an interest in the dark side of mainstream medicine, you might be interested to know that L-tryptophan's chequered past is also a great example of the kind of witchhunts often conducted by the FDA against natural subtances that are often safer and more effective and threaten the side-effect laden multi-million dollar babies of Big Pharma.Thanks to my anonymous friend for the post! Normally I do not post direct links to commercial products or services, but this particular friend is one of the most non-commercial people I know, and I trust him completely.
