Sleep Apnea, Snoring and Food Additives
Filed under: Food Additives, Food Colourings, Sleep Apnea, Sue Dengate, snoring
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...OK guys, I get it… you all want to know about the connection between food additives and snoring and sleep apnea.
This information was a small part of what Sue Dengate helped us with in the series Sleep With The Experts.
Here are some of the food additives, colorings etc associated with snoring and sleep apnea:
- sunset yellow 110
- bread preservative 282 calcium propionate (not in Bakers Delight, Brumbies and Banjo’s Brands – which are Australian brands). Calcium propionate doesn’t always show on labels because of the 5% labeling loophole in Australia (if its less than 5% of content it doesn’t have to appear on the label.. so it doesn’t – of course.) Since Sue Dengate’s lobbying there may be other brands that are OK.. but you will have to reference them on her site to keep up with it.
- 282 can appear in other foodstuffs too, not just bread.
- MSG 621
- fumes from matresses (generally new ones)
- a2 milk is more tolerable than a1 milk, even better than soy milk for some snorers too.
According to Sue Dengate’s research, if you suspect you have sleep apnea you might have to check all the nasty additives on her nasty additives list. There are over 50 of them.
Here’s the link to the nasty additives list:

Online Mental Health Treatment – Prof. Gavin Andrews
Filed under: Anxiety, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Depression, Insight TV Program SBS, Sleep Remedies, Stress
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...I watched a great Insight program a couple of weeks ago that featured the work of Professor Gavin Andrews at St. Vincents Hospital Anxiety Clinic. The team that developed the program includes Dr Nick Titov and others.
What’s good news for us web-savvy types is that they have established an online mental health education and treatment program for:
- major depression
- panic disorder
- generalised anxiety disorder
- social anxiety disorder
It is based on cognitive behavioural therapy, which is a sound modality with proven success.
The program is NOT suitable for patients with a history of:
- schizophrenia
- bipolar disorder
- substance dependence
You do need a valid email address, and you also require a prescription from a GP who is registered and aware of this program.
The website to visit for more information is: http://www.crufad.org
When you go to your GP to be referred to the program (and receive your entry codes, passwords etc into the online site) you can take this letter with you, in case your GP is unaware of the program, and the procedures behind it.
http://www.crufadclinic.org/images/stories/clinic/CRUfAD_Patient_letter_to_clinician.pdf
Another relevant site you can investigate is http://www.crufadclinic.org
What is good about this is your ability to do your exercises and study from the privacy of your own home and start seeing results.
Here’s a bit more information from an earlier Catalyst program:
http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/2708750.htm
I’m very keen for you to participate in this study, as it looks very promising.
Tell me how you go with this, and if you have any problems getting the right referrals etc. I know it probably won’t work for our friends overseas, but if your an Aussi and have any difficulties getting in, post your problem(s) here.
Take care
Elizabeth
Tell me what you think about this.

The Enteric and Autonomic Nervous Systems
Filed under: Andrew Verity, Depression, Exercise, Falling to Sleep, Financial stress, Geraldine Gallagher, Lifestyle Tips, Melatonin, Nervous System, Neuro-Training, Relaxation Techniques, Sleep Remedies, Stress
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...The Enteric and Autonomic
Nervous Systems
The enteric nervous system (the abdominal brain) and the autonomic nervous system (the cerebral brain) and their communication effects sleep, stress and anxiety.
The communication between these two systems represents the age old challenge between our instinctive responses (enteric nervous system) and our brain’s logical integration of a response. The stress response usually occurs in our gut first, then our mind has a think about it. (I won’t complicate this blog with conversations of sympatheric nervous system vs parasympatheric.)
But we do need to know that when there is conflict between the cerebral brain and the abdominal brain there is going to be more stress than ever. People who have gut problems have brain problems, and vice versa.
We are all aware that stress messes with our sleep, we get that.
But we might not all be aware of this great solution, offered by Geraldine Gallagher in her Sleep With The Experts webinar in 2009.
So in order to create calm and sleep peacefully, do the following:
Hold one hand 3 finger widths below your navel, flat to your stomach. It will cover the martial arts point known as dan tien (or ‘one point’).
Hold the other hand on your forehead.
Whilst thinking of the problem or stress that you have, breathe in and out slowly, and rotate your eyes around in a circle.
In one direction, completely, then back into the centre (straight ahead). Then the other direction, completely, then straight ahead. Still breathing slowly and deeply.
Now close your eyes, and do the full eye movements and breathing again. Breathing slowly, still thinking of the stressor, and moving your eyes in the circles and back into the centre, then the other way.
Sometimes this exercise will even generate a message for you. So write it down immediately. Can be a resolution or a new option that has been generated.
This is a very powerful technique, you will feel better actually WHILE doing it, but continue right to the end before opening your eyes again.
This method is similar to Andrew Verity’s Options Generator described here: http://sleeplessnomore.com/blog/974/generating-options-to-your-stress
This exercise doesn’t make a lot of sense. It messes with my cerebral brain… but just do it… BECAUSE it actually does… and aligns the two nervous systems to reduce stress around any issue you direct it to.
It’s amazing actually… this, and Andrew’s Options Generator are my two absolute favourite stress reduction strategies…. apart from heading to the beach for the day with a good book.
Actually, that was a joke, but there’s gotta be something more to that beach story.. might do a PHD on that one day!
I’m rambling..
To hear it explained in full detail by the experts visit http://www.SleepWithTheExperts.com
Peace

Dead Tired “Awake is the New Sleep” SBS ONE
Filed under: Australian TV Programs on Sleep, Media Coverage
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Dead Tired: Awake is the New Sleep SBS ONE
Today on TV in Australia they’ve got a program on SBS ONE Dead Tired: Awake is the New Sleep.
Don’t miss it, because I think it was a goodie.
1.30 – 2.30 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Suspect it is a repeat from last year, but quality nonetheless.
Informative, though not a lot of natural solutions unfortunately.
But certainly features some of the sleep ‘heavies’ from around the world.
Hope you catch it

Sleep Sheep for Baby Sleep
Filed under: Falling to Sleep, Infants and Children, Sleep Music, baby sleep
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Sleep Sheep – to help your infant and
baby sleep
There used to be a special sound machine that I sold through this website which is no longer available, but I did find this cute little Sleep Sheep - which might be very helpful for getting your babies and toddlers off to sleep. There are a couple of versions, so when you go looking – read if the particular one you are buying has ‘mum’s heartbeat’ as an option (I think that’s a pretty good one).
And interestingly, white noise is on the options list too… which can help with tinnitus for adults. If you can’t find a better option for white noise, parents, then maybe you’re going to be stealing it occassionally?! Baa! (that’s one noise it doesn’t make!)
