The Potential Causes
of Sleep Disorders
The Potential Causes
of Sleep Disorders
🌸
While many experts today will lump most of these sleep disorders under thyroid problems, this is a trendy trap that you need to be aware of so you don’t fall prey to it and start addressing an issue that isn’t even the cause.
Below explained the true reasons for insomnia and other sleep issues that medical science and research are unaware of.
Liver Issues
One possible cause stems from a liver that’s overheated, stagnant, or sluggish from toxins and a diet too high in fat or processed foods.
The best way to have a full understanding of your liver and how to support it is to read

The liver could also be inflamed because it is trying to fight one or more pathogens (viruses and bacteria) that have nested in the liver for many years, even decades, and they are releasing neurotoxins and dermatoxins.
Research and science have not yet discovered that pathogens releasing these toxins are the cause of many symptoms and illnesses.
When you go to sleep for the night, your liver shuts down operation and runs on autopilot.
By around three or four in the morning (it’s different for everyone), your liver starts to wake up again and once more begins to process poisons, viruses, and debris (such as dead cells, including dead red blood cells.). If you have a sluggish liver, then as the liver tries to do its job at this time, it goes into subtle spasm.
Most of the time, it’s not anything you can feel, but for some people it’s enough to wake them up. This accounts for those nights when you fall asleep normally, then suddenly you’re up again in the early morning hours, and after a certain period of time, you’re able to nod off again.
This can also explain those miserable nights of sleep where you drift in and out the whole time.
Sleep issues caused by something going on in the liver tend to be present in someone dealing with a thyroid issue, not because the thyroid is causing the problem but because thyroid issues are also caused by EBV. This is something I discuss at length in the book, Thyroid Healing - BELOW
Viral Issues
Viral issues are one of the major causes of trouble with sleep. The Epstein-Barr virus, shingles, cytomegalovirus, HHV-6, and even some bacteria can poison our systems and keep us up at night.
That’s because viruses such as Epstein-Barr excrete neurotoxins, which can create the issues of not being able to fall asleep for hours, or waking in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep.
Viral-caused insomnia is often mistaken for a thyroid issue, because, as I said, it’s common to experience insomnia and thyroid trouble side by side. It’s not because an under or overactive thyroid causes sleep issues, despite what you may hear from other sources.
MSG and Toxic Heavy Metals in the Brain
If someone has MSG ... Monosodium Glutamate or toxic heavy metal deposits speckled throughout the brain, which is extremely common, these alone can keep a person from getting quality sleep.
Mercury deposits are what cause OCD, Tourette’s, anxiety, depression, and much more, which, when coupled with a pathogen like Epstein-Barr Virus, can only make things worse because the virus is feeding off of the mercury and releasing more poisons, such as neurotoxins.
Medical communities are unaware of just how prolific this virus is and the hundreds of symptoms and conditions it causes. I share the reasons why research and science have missed just how much EBV is responsible for in Thyroid Healing. They are also unaware that viruses feed off toxins like mercury, which allows them to strengthen and thrive and create further issues.
Digestive Tract Issues
Some people have digestive sensitivities, which are actually connected to the nervous system because nerves are attached to every part of the colon. As food moves through the intestines, it hits those sensitive nerves throughout the night. Sometimes it is so subtle it is barely noticeable but it can be enough to disrupt your sleep. Even if there is no pain or gas in your gut, these digestive tract sensitivities may be related to your sleep disorder and you simply are not aware of it.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can occur if you have a sinus problem or a post nasal drip. It can also occur if you are overweight and lying down, which may put pressure on the chest and throat, prevents proper breathing from taking place during sleep.
The third kind of sleep apnea is a mystery to modern medicine. In this case, it is a neurological sleep apnea where the brain is sending out incorrect messages to the vagus and phrenic nerves using electrical impulses and neurotransmitters that are being weakened or interrupted by toxic heavy metals or viral neurotoxins.
Adrenal Issues
Another potential cause for sleep issues occurs because of a high stress lifestyle that pumps adrenaline into your bloodstream all day. Adrenaline keeps you up until very late and then by the time you wake up in the morning you are exhausted.
These are just some of the reasons why your sleep may be suffering. Other possible causes I address in detail in Thyroid Healing include anxiety, which is not as self-explanatory as you may think, emotional wounds, and other neurological issues.
Your Very Own Sleep Account
There is a common belief floating around that once you miss an hour of sleep, that sleep is gone and you can never make it up. You can never get it back. This is false. The truth is that we have a divine sleep account that is owed to us from the minute we are born. Every time you miss a minute, hour, day, or week of sleep, that time is automatically put into your sleep account to save for a later date. All is not lost.
Those three hours of sleep you lost the night before are not gone forever. They are waiting for you in your very own sleep account, controlled and maintained by the Angels, and you will get them back some day. It is a misguided belief that you cannot catch up on sleep or gain your sleep back.
Once you’re able to target your sleep issue and begin to heal by restoring your liver, detoxing the MSG and heavy metals, mending your digestive tract, healing your adrenals, or eliminating EBV, get ready. Because your sleep account is waiting for you and you are going to enjoy plenty of restorative, healing sleep. It’s your divine right and one of the unknown universal laws.
Foods for Sleep
There is so much we can do to heal viruses, work on our digestive and liver problems, and detox from heavy metals, MSG, and other toxins that could be contributing to your sleep issues. I go into further depth on what’s behind your sleep issues, how you can heal from them, why bad dreams are good, which foods and supplements are the most helpful for healing, and so much more in
The Sacred Sleep Window
Sleep is so important for healing and yet it can be impossible to sleep when you have any of these issues. It can seem like a catch 22.
That’s why it’s so critical to know about the Sacred Sleep Window.
Between 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. your body does most of its healing. If you are able to sleep during that period, your body is healing at an accelerated rate. Even if you only catch 10 minutes, those 10 minutes will be potent.
The restoration your body performs in that snippet of time will power you through on your path to healing. If you’re not able to sleep during this window, even lying down with your eyes closed will allow your body to continue healing.
This is because even if you are still conscious, part of your brain is asleep. If you work night shifts or just have a lot of difficulty lying down in this window, you can nap or lie down with your eyes closed between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This four hour daytime window is the equivalent of the 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. for healing.
Angel of Sleep
The Angel of Sleep is always there for you if you need her. Whenever you’re seeking guidance or comfort, speak her name aloud and ask for her help. She’ll aid you in your path to a better night’s sleep, whether because of a health issue or an emotional trial. The Angel of Sleep will watch over you as you travel to the land of the subconscious.
Moving Forward
We tend to beat ourselves up when we are unable to get restful sleep, and it is very easy to blame ourselves.
It can take time to resolve a sleep issue.
It will take time for your body to cleanse itself of toxins, heal, and rebuild, so in the meantime, remind yourself of the laws of sleep: that your sleep account is waiting for you no matter what and that you deserve healing sleep.
On top of this, you can help yourself navigate whatever rocky nights come your way with the foods and supplements
in Thyroid Healing, the Sacred Sleep Window, and the Angel of Sleep.

FOODS FOR SLEEP
🌸
🌸
The following foods address all of the conditions, plus they enhance the effects of sleep-promoting supplements. In addition to the list below, focus on making berries, dates, lemons, limes, potatoes, radishes, turmeric, ginger, coconut water, sprouts, lemon balm, cat’s claw, raw honey, artichokes, avocados, and grapes a part of your life.
Mangoes:
Very high in bioavailable magnesium.
Eat one before bed to ease the transition to sleep.
When you take supplemental Lglutamine, mangoes heighten its absorption, which reduces MSG toxicity by disarming it.
Bananas:
High in tryptophan and fructose to soothe neurotransmitters. When combined with 5-HTP, bananas activate the supplement, which allows for higher bioavailability and quicker absorption of it.
Cherries:
A great source of melatonin, a nutrient-based hormone that helps your neurotransmitters and glial cells. When you eat cherries at the same time you take supplemental melatonin, the cherries heighten the supplement’s powers, making it more easily accepted by the brain and body and enhancing its medicinal sleep effects.
Asparagus:
On top of helping to lessen mucus production and soothe inflammation, asparagus has a calming, sedative effect because it cleanses antagonizers such as free radicals and positively charged chemicals that disrupt homeostasis (balance) in the body systems. When combined with GABA and magnesium L-threonate, asparagus engages the supplements, making them more effective.
Spinach:
High in calcium, this is an alkaline food useful for reducing acidosis. Spinach also contains mineral salts, which feed neurotransmitters and enhance the supplement glycine’s absorbability —which helps strengthen neurotransmitter performance.
Celery:
High in mineral salts that (1) carry electrical impulses through the brain and (2) are the building blocks of neurotransmitter creation. Celery can really enhance the ability of supplemental GABA, glycine, and magnesium L-threonate to be absorbed by the brain and aid in neurotransmitter performance for sleep support.
Lettuce:
The “milk” in the core of a leaf of lettuce calms the nerves and has an overall tranquilizing, sedative effect. Coupled with passionflower, lettuce enhances the calming neurological effect of this herbal supplement.
Pomegranates:
These little jewels bind onto unwanted acids in the body, including lactic acid buildup that can result in leg and other muscle cramps during sleep. Pomegranates are also particularly antimucus and anti-inflammatory. When used alongside magnesium glycinate, pomegranates take the supplement’s muscle relaxing powers to the next level. Licorice root: This herb helps support and rejuvenate the adrenals at a rapid pace.
Licorice root
ignites the chemical compounds of supplemental magnesium glycinate, which calms the adrenals so that the licorice can bring them back to vitality faster.
Wild blueberries:
These are great to pull out MSG and heavy metals from the brain, then drive them out of your body. The top adaptogenic, anti-mucus, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich food you can eat, wild blueberries also enhance every nutrient, supplement, amino acid, you name it—so the body can make the best use of it.
Garlic:
A highly beneficial anti-inflammatory for mucous membranes and bronchial tubes. Used long-term, garlic can ease breathing for undisturbed sleep. Plus, when you take magnesium glycinate, garlic’s traces of bioavailable magnesium engage the supplement so you can experience even better breathing and more restful sleep.
Cilantro:
Binds onto toxic heavy metals and MSG and flushes them from your system. When you take supplemental L-glutamine with cilantro, it boosts MSG removal and becomes a cofactor in heavy metal detoxification.
Sweet potatoes:
Provide a critical form of glucose that stimulates the development of neurotransmitters such as glycine, dopamine, GABA, and serotonin, which aids in the ability to sleep.
When you take supplemental melatonin at the same time you eat sweet potato, the sweet potato’s nutrients bind onto the melatonin and help it travel to the brain more easily. Sweet potato and supplemental melatonin also have a powerful antioxidant effect that helps stop oxidation of toxic heavy metals in the brain.
Mangoes:
Very high in bioavailable magnesium.
Eat one before bed to ease the transition to sleep.
When you take supplemental Lglutamine, mangoes heighten its absorption, which reduces MSG toxicity by disarming it.
