Alternative Medicine - August 2007

I went to sleep at 4:00a.m. yesterday and it's currently 1:30a.m. now. I can't sleep! I've tried a few times to go to bed and all I do is toss and turn. I can't keep going on four to six hours of sleep a night since I have a toddler.

I've tried sleeping aids (make me wiped out the next day and I look stoned), Melatonin, and red wine. Red wine helps, but I can't continue that route. Please help!

I recently experienced a sudden loss of hearing in one ear. It was preceeded by an itchy throat, and followed by an ear infection. (The ear infection itself is unrelated to the hearing loss. The infection was caused by me repeatedly sticking my germy finger in my ear and shaking it around, trying to get my ear to 'pop'.) There is no sense of pressure on the ear drum.

Doc gave antibiotic drops for ear infection. He said that the eardrum was not perforated. The drops are helping, but of course are having no effect on the hearing loss.

Chewing gum, yawning, shaking head, using 'Swimmers Ear' (vinegar and alcohol), and olive oil don't help.

It may not be the eustacian tube, but if not, I have no idea what it could be.

I keep on doing the iodine test with a 2% iodine tincture on my skin and the spot goes away after 2-3 hours even though I am taking iodine supplement. How long it takes to stay on for 24 hours?

My medical doctor is not very concerned about this but my naturopathic doctor is concerned. She immediately suggested I use unrefined sea salt but, as I told her, I've been using unrefined sea salt FOR YEARS. I regularly take magnesium, calcium and potassium, too, because otherwise I suffer from major muscle spasms. I drink, at minimum, 8 of the 8 oz glasses of water per day. Sometimes 12 or 14. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a major problem. I haven't slept in like 3 days and my body like won't let me sleep for some reason. Now I'm like... hullucinating!!The first night I couldn't sleep so I took an adderall to make me stay up all the rest of the day so I could sleep that night. Well then, my sister invited me to go to a guys house and hang out with them and we just hung out there all night and didn't sleep. And this morning I took another adderall to keep me up till tonite to make me sleep tonite and it just didn't work. I'm tired but I just.. can't go to sleep. It's probably because of this darn computer. I can't drag myself away from it. I really need help.

This guys claims there is a natural cure for everything and anything. I read about one man who was a diabetic who tried his "Natural Cures" and it landed him in the ER. Has anyone read this book and the "Weight loss cure they don't want you to know about," Did this work for anyone. I do believe that there are natural cures for SOME disease but not to the extent that Mr. Trudeau is claiming.
**Anyone of you guys on yahoo answers tried his natural cures and was successful in curing any of your conditions you may have had??
Is this man just a miracle healer or just a cheater?
