Nontrivial Approach to Insomnia, Cancer and Alzheimer Disease
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Immunology & Microbiology - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
I was doing research on acupuncture in Europe with a famous acupuncturist, who specialized in China. One of the medical doctors working in the same clinic came to the acupuncturist complaining that he couldn’t sleep the last night and asked if she could help. She told him to lay on the table and put some needles on him. Less than 5 minutes later he was snoring loudly. One of the acupuncture points treated for insomnia is Small Intestines (SI), which is at the junction of the bones of the thumb and the pointing fingers [1]. What insomnia has to do with small intestines? A very ancient way to easy fall asleep is to eat a few chopped scallions of garlic (with yogurt, for example) before to go to bed. It really works – it helps to fall asleep [2]. At the same time, garlic is an ancient remedy for parasites in the intestines [2]. Are we not able to sleep because the parasites in our small intestines are too active during the night? Is the garlic making the parasites drowsy and not so active and with this helping us to sleep? Our science links the insomnia only to the brain, but the facts that: 1/ acupuncture stimulate the small intestines to restore the sleep and 2/ the garlic help asleep by decreasing the parasites’ activity in the small intestines means that insomnia could be related to parasites.
