[acb-hsp] Mellatonin

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Another good treatment for allergies is relocation.  My wife had
terrible plant allergies when she lived in Ohio.  They disappeared when
she moved to southern CA.

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>
