This solution to your insomnia works very quickly – no worries! What you want is a remedy for a sound sleep without drugs leaving a chemical hangover, right? No doctors, and no sleep clinics, and nobody else making false promises.
Stress
The consensus is that stress is the root cause of insomnia, but then, on the other hand, insomnia is a source of stress. So, we can say that the fundamental cause of insomnia is mineral deficiencies caused by inadequate diet, coffee, and alcohol.
Many people under stress tend to do certain things that lead to mineral deficiencies. Exercise sweats out minerals, and then coffee and alcohol weaken stomach acid. Weak stomach acid does a poor job of extracting nutrients.
You need to strengthen your stomach and take mineral supplements, get more sleep without drugs, or any kind of external help, and then have the ability to deal with the things you need to deal with, and the stress will go away (maybe not the pressure, but you can fight it).
So you’re probably asking right now, “When did minerals become so important, and why haven’t I heard this before?”
The bulk of this article discusses the proof of the importance of mineral nutrients, as well as the way you can maintain a strong stomach acid, but first of all, my story.
My Story
I was jogging every day and drinking a lot of coke and coffee during the day and then alcohol in the evening to calm down after all the caffeine.
I’d been teaching English as a foreign language to Japanese people for almost eight years.
Despite what you may have seen in the movie Good Morning Vietnam, it’s hard to be “up” all the time: five and a half hours of class time plus preparation daily.
Most teachers had enough after 1 year, I stuck it out for 8. Then I went back to Australia and continued to teach there. It was then that I started having problems sleeping or you can say I was not able to sleep without drugs.
Spring in Japan. “Hanami”
The caffeine and the alcohol were robbing me of nutrients, and I had been losing minerals through sweating my whole life.
In Japan, I had been taking saunas almost every day- sometimes two in a day.
For me, heavy exercise had always been a 5 to 6 days a week thing.
- My red hair had faded noticeably since 1999
- I looked much older
- I was beginning to experience ankle and knee pain
- By 2008 I could no longer run, and I was grossly overweight
Then Dr. Wallach and his research with the HIH came to my attention, and it was kind of like, “So that’s the problem, of course!”
Twelve years of research
There are 60 minerals the body needs, and if any are missing for a prolonged period, some kind of sickness or disease is inevitable.
This phenomenon was discovered by a renowned veterinarian pathologist, Dr. J Wallach, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (USA).
In 1966, he began taking part in research funded by a grant of $7.5 million to find “a canary in a coal mine” concerning pollution.
A little over 12 years later, after performing over 17,500 autopsies on over 450 species of animals and 3,000 autopsies on humans for comparison, he found that every animal and every human that dies of natural causes dies from a disease caused by one or more mineral deficiencies.
Growing up on a farm in Missouri
Wallach grew up on a beef farm in Missouri.
He wondered why the calves were getting supplements but not the family – they lived off the same soil. He asked his dad about this, who told him, “Shut up, son, you’re getting plenty of exercises and fresh air, now get on with your work.” You can read his story in Dead Doctors Don’t Lie (1999).
So, the minerals that will quickly clear up your insomnia are calcium (preventer of 48 diseases), vanadium, and chromium (these two also combat asthma and diabetes).
Lack Of Mineral Absorption
Betaine HCl.
Have you ever considered how your body is sustained by the food you eat?
It begins with your stomach acid; it breaks down the food. From there, nutrients are transported to where they are needed via blood vessels and filtering organs.
Without strong stomach acid, you are not getting the whole “bang for your buck,” so to speak. Valuable nutrients are passing straight through.
If you are worried about this, you can boost your stomach acid strength with Betaine HCl, taken 20 minutes before you eat.
Two things weaken stomach acid; age and the Western lifestyle. These are some of the things we consume that weaken stomach acid (Wallach,1999):
- Caffeine
- Sugar (yet another reason to cut back)
- Alcohol – Ever had heartburn after alcohol. That’s your stomach trying to compensate by pumping in more acid.
- Fizzy drinks (anything that is carbonated – including Berocca), that burp is the sound of your stomach acid having its pH level raised
- Over the counter and prescription drugs (pain killers make your arthritis worse)
- Ant-acid medication
Loss Of Minerals Through Sweating

Valuable minerals come out with the sweat – mineral soup – and are not usually replaced. Gatorade only contains 6 minerals. Everybody is under the impression that sweating is good for you, but it isn’t. At one point, I was taking at least one sauna, 6 days a week.
Ever notice how Olympic athletes tend to suffer serious health issues later in life (Wallah, 1999)
CALCIUM, CHROMIUM, and VANADIUM
These three are a dynamic combo. They all help you sleep without drugs that may cause unwanted side-effects.
- Calcium wards off 48 diseases, even reversing them, including heart disease and hypertension ( high blood pressure).
- Chromium and vanadium have been used to cure life-threatening asthma and diabetes, as well as insomnia.
- All three together will eliminate your insomnia – within an hour or so
Vitamins need minerals
It is often said that vitamin supplements are a waste of money, and without mineral supplements, that is somewhat true. All vitamins need a mineral directly involved or as a co-factor for them to do anything but pass through your system unused. And, in combination, they can help you get the thing you have been striving for, a sound sleep without drugs.
Are supplements necessary for a relaxing sleep without drugs?
Mineral concentrations vary throughout the Earth’s crust, so there is generally no way of knowing what minerals are in the food you eat. Mineral content can even vary from crop row to crop row, from vegetable to vegetable. Also, our crop soils are becoming anemic because of over-farming and no rest-rotation.
Plants can manufacture vitamins using the carbon dioxide they absorb from the air. But nothing can produce a mineral. Has anyone ever succeeded in making gold, for example? Minerals that aren’t in the soil won’t be in the plants.
60 Essential Minerals
At first, I attempted to put together my collection but quickly realized that the cost would somewhere near ten times as much, and I still wouldn’t have covered everything. Lithium, for example. The chemists and the vitamin shops just don’t have many of the minerals you need to complete the list of 60.
Healthy Body Start Pak. It contains 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2 fatty acids.
As far as I know, there is nothing available with all 90 nutrients and in optimal dosages.
Dr. Wallach (1999) lists in the second half of his book 412 diseases that can be prevented or reversed using The Healthy Body Start Pak.
What happened to me at the beginning of 2014?
I began taking nutritional supplements.
- My insomnia disappeared and I was finally able to sleep without drugs
- My mood lifted
- After 2 months, my hair color had come back noticeably
- After 3 months, the pain in my knees and ankles had lessened considerably, and I was walking 2 hours each day
- After 6 months, I was jogging in short bursts
- After 9 months, I had lost 32 kg, from 133 down to 101 kg
Conclusion
Since around 1910, conventional medicine has been treating symptoms rather than aiming to cure them. These drugs were first made from petrochemicals from Standard Oil. Modern medicine attributes sickness and disease to genetics, which is incorrect but very convenient and very profitable.
When it comes to surgery, modern medicine is a marvelous thing; it’s what gives modern medicine such high regard; however, surgery is not the major breadwinner.
I’ll finish with a quote from the TV series, “The Mentalist”.
I trust you found this article interesting and it will help you sleep without drugs or medications that you have been taking so far.
I know many people are aware of the connection between minerals and overall body health, but I also know that many more don’t, and I am passionate about this subject.
