Hi,
My toddler had delayed sleep phase syndrome from ages 2 months through 8 months, and then when we tried to shift her to a more normal time, it turned into non-24 hour sleep-wake syndrome. So I have been rotating sleep times around the clock with her for 30+ months now. I am determined to cure this naturally (not that mainstream medicine has any answers anyway).
Given the connection between fluoride and the pineal gland, and the pineal gland and sleep/circadian rhythm regulation, I want to try using Iodine and/or diluted, low dose Borax to flush out the probable fluoride accumulation in her pineal gland to see if that is at the root of this. Has anyone attempted to detox fluoride out of a child? Or have any of you improved your own circadian rhythm sleep disorder by flushing out the fluoride? This is the only theory I have to go on; we already tried B-12 which is known to help in some cases (not my daughter's, unfortunately).
Does anyone have any experiences to share, or suggestions to help me out with this? This sleep schedule is killing me and is not too great for socializing my daughter, who is 3-years old already.

This is a reply to # 1,854,226Is she taking any naps during the day? Cutting out the afternoon nap might help her sleep schedule too. My daughter gave up her 2nd nap at 3, she go like a wound up top for 3 days and then collaps around 4:30 and sleep for a couple of hours. It ruined the bedtime routine, but she was really evil by day 3 that when she finally collapsed and fell asleep, I told my husband when he came home that if he woke her up, he'd be in trouble. Boron helps pull out fluoride from the body as does iodine. You can pick up boron supplements separately at healthfood stores and online. Swansons vitamins has it pretty cheaply. They also have 2% lugols. You can put a drop of the Lugols in her apple juice to get it down her. Make sure she has free access to unrefined salt such as Redmond's RealSalt or Celtic salt, as salt helps the flush out what the Iodine stirs up. Vitamin C is important too as is magnesium. Vitamin C should be given every day AWAY from the iodine, maybe at lunch time. Magnesium oil would be a good way to ge magnesium in her. Swanson has that too. Dilute it, and spray it on her after bath and rub it in (A little travel size spray bottle woud be good - try 4:1 ratio -- 4 parts water to 1 part mag oil and increase strength when you're ready to refill it). You could also get the gallon size Mag oil and put it in her bath -- maybe 1/4 cup. It'll be really relaxing. Give the Iodine in morning. Every other day with weekends off would be good for her. Boron (or borax -- borax just a slight pinch) should be given every day.
Melatonin might help. Get a liquid form so you can give her the smallest dose necessary -- like one drop in some juice at dinner time (it needs a couple of hours to kick in). My daughter has had trouble falling asleep at a reasonable time to allow her to get up for school easily for years. We finally resorted to melatonin and it helps a lot. There have been studies giving ADD kids melatonin to help with sleep and it has been deemed safe. Once the fluoride is out of her body and her pineal gland is detoxed, her sleep issues just might resolve on her own.
Is she getting good sources of calcium? A calcium/magnesium fizzy drink at bed time might help too.
Ginagirl has the most experience with borax. You might want to email her

This is a reply to # 1,855,316Thank you for all of the suggestions. My daughter has always gotten less overall sleep than is recommended for kids of a given age. At around 18 months she was taking only one 30-minute nap a day and would wake up in a horrible mood, which we resolved by removing high-oxalate foods from her diet. Since that revelation, she has taken one 1-hour nap per day. We have recently been using homemade sauerkraut and kefir for probiotics, and the die-off effect makes it so she can't nap at all many days, so I have to remember to back off of those sometimes. When she doesn't nap she goes to bed ~2 hours earlier but she is obviously exhausted by that time. We do use 1/2 of a sublingual melatonin tablet most nights, but it doesn't help her fall asleep earlier, just quiets her down at the time when we expect her to be about ready anyway (an hour later every night).
We have been doing the Borax and so far it seems to help neutralize her normally acidic urine (usually full of ammonia). I will try adding the Lugol's next week. She can't take vitamin C because it gives her oxalate issues, but I have let her shake some Sea Salt onto the counter and then lick it off her finger. She asks to do it so I figure her body must need it.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,856,356Adding Tryptophan to the melatonin might help. I have trouble getting to sleep too due to adrenal fatigue and melatonin+tryptophan have helped a alot. You could try putting some (maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 capsule) in some yogurt or applesauce with dinner.
What's her bedtime routine? When my daughter was that little, I'd give her a bath around 7pm -- a nice warm bath and then she'd have a snack if she was hungry (she'd usually have a jar of bananas -- she liked that better than the fresh kind) and then we'd do story and I would sing some lullabies and put her to bed with her music. This routine would usually take around an hour and she'd be ready for sleep by then.
