[acb-hsp] Mellatonin

[J.Rayl]

Hi.  Well again, many people take this hormone for the wrong purpose.  They think it is to help them sleep as in, relax, make them sleepy, etc., like sleeping pills.  That is not its purpose, its intended statement.  It is to regulate the sleep, to tell the brain it is time to go to sleep, and to reset the biological clock.  So, if you have no plan of doing that, as in going to bed at the same time, resetting your biological clock, then there's no point to taking Mellatonin.
There are a lot of other perfectly wonderful natural remedies out there--I'm not getting into them because you're as free and capable of finding them as I do, and I'm not a Certified herbologist or naturopath, <smiles> but they are there.
I guess my point to all of this is, there are natural remedies, over-the-counter drugs (meds), and prescribed drugs (meds) out there.  Every one of them can be helpful or cause great problems for any one person.  And all of them are equally misused and abused.  
I just spent the afternoon sound asleep after taking Benadryl for an allergy attack over Benadryl--which is supposed to be nondrowsy.  <LOL>  The stuff makes me feel like a slug and I really question just how much it does for allergies but okay.  I'll take some more anyway because I can sleep and I'm tired of the itching. <smiles>
