Celebrate life without insomnia: wherein I learn that a plant is an
ideal mineral factory
Several people called to inquire about the sidebar on page 2 of our winter newsletter, which suggested that a lack of glucose might be the reason that I often awaken during the night. After I wrote about eating dates or prunes at 2 or 3 a.m., I experimented with raw pecans, and discovered that they worked just as well and left my teeth less furry. However, thanks to our friend Gerald Phillips, I have discovered something that works even better, and I don't have to eat anything during the night. It's AIM's GlucoChrom™
Gerald said that eating at night was really just a band-aid. What I needed to do was to be sure that I had enough of the mineral chromium to last me through the night. He cautioned me to take chromium only with my breakfast and lunch, since if I used it too late in the day, it might have the opposite effect and keep me awake. I had some chromium picolinate on hand so I tried that.
Then I remembered that last summer in Miami, in the resource room at the AIM™ convention, I saw barley being grown hydroponically [nutrition is supplied through liquid rather than through soil]. Using this method, AIM's researchers have grown barley leaves that contain the amount of chromium they specify. There is no hybridization or genetic alteration. I prefer natural over synthetic, and I knew nothing about the chromium I had purchased in a healthfood store. My guess is that it was made from inorganic minerals, which are not absorbed well by the body. So, for several weeks, morning and noon, I have been taking AIM's GlucoChrom™ made with chelated minerals bound to organic barley grass. Voila! My blood sugar levels are regulated and I have almost no insomnia.
If you deal with blood sugar issues, ask AIM for a copy of their GlucoChrom™ brochure, or if you are not an AIM member, ask us. [See related story on chromium.]
