 Dear Reader,
It can be agonizing. You get in bed, turn out the light, and spend the next six hours staring at the clock.
You could take a drug to battle your insomnia, sure, but as desperate as you are, you've heard too many stories of people getting hooked on sleeping pills — not to mention the other potential side effects.
So what do you do? Suffer through the night?
You might not even need to weigh the choice between sleepless nights and Big Pharma drugs, thanks to new research appearing in the Journal of Medicinal Food. Researchers found that drinking 8 ounces of tart cherry juice in the morning and evening for two weeks significantly reduced the severity of study participants' insomnia.
Now, this was a small study, with only 15 people taking part. But there's certainly no harm in adding tart cherry juice to your diet (in fact, with their antioxidant content, cherries bring plenty of other benefits besides helping you sleep), and it might just work for you.
Tart cherries contain a substantial amount of melatonin, which we already know helps to moderate the sleep cycle. Our bodies make their own melatonin, but sometimes it's not enough, and the cherries could help to boost dwindling levels.
Melatonin isn't just involved in the sleep cycle — it's also a powerful antioxidant that helps fight inflammation. Added to the other major antioxidant in cherries, anthocyanins, you've got an age-busting powerhouse on your hands.
Not only that, but cherries have already been established as a major player in eliminating pain associated with gout — Dr. Wright has recommended 32 ounces of cherry juice (with no sugar added) at the first sign of an attack.

IV supplements jumpstart nutrition
Q: I notice that many of your articles refer to vitamin and mineral injections. Does that mean oral vitamins don't work as well?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: Oral supplements certainly help your overall health, however, progress is often much slower than it is with intravenous nutrients. There are several reasons why.
Even when digestion is optimal, as it usually is in a young person, no nutrient is 100 per cent digested and then assimilated. The "food" your body assimilates most efficiently is, unfortunately, the worst one for you — refined sugar. But most nutrients, especially minerals, are assimilated at less than 40-50 per cent efficiency. Quite often, you only assimilate 20 per cent or less of the essential nutrients from what you eat. And this is if your digestion is operating completely up to par.
In most cases, digestion isn't optimal, which further compounds the problem of absorbing or assimilating nutrients from your food. As we all get older, the efficiency of digestion and assimilation almost always declines, as does our vision, hearing, strength, and many other functions. This happens even when there aren't any specific digestive or absorptive defects, and, of course, it's aggravated by specific conditions such as low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), weak pancreatic digestive function, low or absent (because of surgery) gallbladder function, and other digestive/absorptive defects.
Not only is your own stomach working against you, but the foods you're putting in it probably aren't helping much either. Even if you avoid packaged, processed foods, the things you do eat may not be as nutritious as they should be. Unless most of your diet is organically grown, the nutrient content of nearly any food you eat is considerably less than it was for the same food a century or more ago.
For example, in the 1960s, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) published a map showing that in 37 of the 50 (US) states, agricultural soils were deficient in zinc. This is still the case for the large majority of all minerals. It takes years — even decades — of organic farming to restore both the quantity and availability of the entire range of nutrient minerals to optimal levels.
And on top of all that, hidden food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances, estimated to affect over half of us, also interfere with nutrient assimilation to variable degrees.
So all of these factors are standing in the way of you absorbing — either from foods or supplements — all the nutrients your body needs to be healthy and disease-free. But when nutrients are injected intravenously or intramuscularly, they bypass those roadblocks and go straight into your blood stream where they can be delivered immediately to the areas that need them. While it's true that some of them are promptly excreted again by the kidneys and liver, your body knows what it's doing, so if it really needs one or several of the supplemental nutrients, it will "hang on" to a larger proportion.
Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own physician before acting on any recommendations contained herein.
Wishing you the best of health,
