Thats about it. I've had trouble getting good rest this past week because of a heat wave screwing with my cycles but I remember ornithine helped me before...
I took some but then i just read it can be bad and actually promote the growth of parasites/bacteria? Is this true? I can't rest and am sure I have an overgrowth...
I duno what to do. I got gaba, ornithine, arganine, and have been drinking aloe vera juice concentrate throughout the day in addition to taking 1000mg vit.c 500mg msm, 500mg d-ribose powder and a multi-v with probiotics + enzymes. (plus an extra enzyme for digesting gluten if I intend to eat anything with possible cross contamination. I have widespread food allergies .)
any ideas? how can I manage to rest more? I've just dozed off for a few hours here and there the past 2 days and haven't slept fully.
I think i might be in a state of sleep apnea too... right as I almost doze off, I am awakened all of the sudden by a need to take a deep breath. I just need to get some real rest so I can get back to normal, it sucks. Thanks for any ideas

This is a reply to # 2,088,843thanks. I have magnesium that I don't take, I guess I'll add it. Melatonin I heard mixed things about depending on what conditions one might have...
I'm still wondering about ornithine though- Re: Is L-Ornithine bad? Can't sleep.... Steve888

This is a reply to # 2,088,843I took gaba and ornithine last night with chamomille tea and I finally slept 8pm-5am. I woke feeling rested which was awesome but now I feel kind of weak. It's getting better I think... I hope I can sleep tonight too. Still not sure on whether ornithine is bad for parasite overgrowth or good. People seem to have mixed ideas. anyway... it seemed to work for me finally.

This is a reply to # 2,089,075I was wondering about your reaction to ornithine?
Some old post here on CZ told about "l-ornithine will force eggs to hatch".
It happened to me with castor oil pack and did not know what was happening...peggyaus user told it happended the same to her with castor oil.
check the net if GABA can make you weak after...might be a posibility
did you tried aromatherapy like lavender and passiflora and stuff...some reported good results...I also have problem falling asleep because of parasites...- Re: Is L-Ornithine bad? Can't sleep.... #68716

This is a reply to # 2,089,988Have not tried l-orn but for my autistic child who would never sleep, what completely worked for us was to give him a magnesium tablet, a gaba cap, and melatonin. We did this nightly for one week then tapered off each. Was a miracle for sleeping. Reset his sleep/brain patterns. If something flares up in his body for whatever reason, we go back to that regimen and always works. Good luck.

This is a reply to # 2,088,842Hi, I second the recommendation for melatonin. I have trouble falling asleep, and melatonin is a lifesaver for me. I use the Natrol brand. In the past, I was concerned about taking it for a prolonged period of time. I discussed my concerns with my naturopathic doctor, and she thought it was fine. She says it acts as an antioxidant and she actually prescribes it in high doses to her cancer patients. (However, she said it should only be taken at night, because light can cause it to have an oxidizing effect.) You might give it a shot! Good luck.

This is a reply to # 2,088,875I worry I may have advanced undiagnosed myeloma, (joint pains, cysts, alot of other relative symptoms) and apparently melatonin feeds the disease process. I used melatonin many times before too but if its killing me faster, I can't do it. I really need a diagnosis. I also have parasite symptoms and intestinal gurgling/constipation/diarea/aches. It is also part of what really keeps me from sleeping.
I heard l-ornithine will force eggs to hatch, which can be a bad thing. I think you need l-arganine also to mop up the effects of l-ornithine the next morning. I intend to get some so the l-ornithine is out. My joint pains are better today but it still takes me about 24 hours to finally sleep. (today I only got about 4 hours after being up 24. Yesterday I got 8.)
I wish so much I could use melatonin
