Conventional medicine’s “solution” to health problems is to suppress the symptoms. It’s no
different for insomnia. Every year millions of Americans are prescribed drugs to help them
sleep better. Unfortunately, drugs are toxic, and while they may address a specific
symptom, they poison the entire body. This flawed approach not only fails to address the
true causes of insomnia, it also creates new health problems as well as dependencies.
Sleeping pills depress brain function, decreasing the amount of time spent in health-giving
deep sleep. People can suffer withdrawal symptoms and become dependent on the drugs.
