Melatonin is highly recommended by the Life Extension Foundation. Your comments below correspond with my own experiences. NB that Melatonin also is associated with improved immune response, such that occasional larger doses may be useful at the beginning of any illness.

I read that the Melatonin levels in the body decrease with age and that is why most elderly people have trouble sleeping. I googled it when a friend suggested it to me to find out more about it. I had trouble staying asleep
at night and it helped me. I would suggest that you try the 3 microgram
instead of the 1 milligram doses. Sometimes less is more with Melatonin.
Also I was told that the stronger doses sometimes cause vivid dreaming.

Melatonin is probably safe for almost everyone, and could make an
enormous difference to your friend and his mother.   NOW products makes
a good, low-cost tablet, available from many suppliers.

Hi List-  Help!  My friend is taking care of his 93 year old Mother .
She is not
sleeping nights and keeps him up nearly 24-7.  He has had two heart
attacks and
is near exhaustion from lack of rest.    The doctors claim sleep
medications
don't work on seniors, so  he just has to suffer,  I don't believe
this.  I'll
pass along any advice.

2nd-My big toe is very sore, there is a thickening of the nail and
underneath
pushng the nail up into a point,  I think it is called keratin (a
white
substance you can loosen and pick out with a nail file).  I was going
to try CS
and DMSO.  The other day I tried some Oregano Oil on it, maybe that's
why it is
soreand might be getting infected????    Thank you in advance.  for
any advice.


Gladys
