Chapter 161: Tales of Two Solutions to Harm Caused by Toxic Exposures and Our Toxic Health Care System – And Alternatives to Drugs Like Halcion

Film that summarizes 30 years of my own research
all about how we cure with nutrition and without the added toxicity of pharmaceuticals – has info supporting my extensive research on water fluoridation and amalgam fillings. Shows how cultures where processed foods have never been eaten (much less pharmaceuticals taken) have nearly no cavities in teeth – even without ever brushing. Describes simple diet that cures cancer and why we aren’t being given this option by most practitioners. — the same old and oldest of reasons– greed.

This site is about a very interesting and promising approach to balancing the brain. Talked at length with one of the practitioners yesterday about this technique, which I like more than the Amen approach because it doesn’t require scans, and would really like to try it. She says it is especially successful in healing insomnia. Of course the Halcion manufacturers will be working to suppress it.

These solutions have been, and continue to be, suppressed by the mainstream, which supports the chemical pharmaceutical industry, in all its works and all its ways.

Chapter 160: MIXING HALCION (Triazolam) with TRAZODONE (Desyrel) : A Very Dangerous Combination

Halcion is infamous for causing rebound insomnia, but because dentists using this drug off-label are not routinely explaining this special trait associated with Halcion in particular, even used at FDA recommended doses, it’s very likely someone suffering the rebound effects days after the dental appointment will end up, as my daughter did, taking Trazodone, which is often prescribed for insomnia.

As in her case, this is a very very bad idea, and though I knew for years, from observation (because the combination was explosive), that it was a bad idea, I just found this information below that documents it:

“Desyrel [Trazodone]
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
This drug [Trazodone] should not be used with the following medications because very serious interactions may occur: sibutramine, triazolam [Halcion]. [my emphasis]

More about reactions to Trazodone
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as: certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), anti-seizure drugs (e.g., phenytoin), medicine for sleep or anxiety (e.g., alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medicines (e.g., chlorpromazine, risperidone).

TRAZODONE
Trazodone is metabolised by CYP3A4, [SAME AS HALCION] a liver enzyme.[36] Inhibition of this enzyme by various other substances may delay its degradation, leading to high blood levels of trazodone. CYP3A4 may be inhibited by many other medications, herbs, and foods, and as such, trazodone may interact with these substances. One drug-food interaction is grapefruit juice. Drinking grapefruit juice is discouraged in patients taking trazodone. One glass of grapefruit juice occasionally is not likely to have this effect on most people.
[by the way, NO DOC EVER discouraged my daughter from drinking grapefruit juice when they prescribed Trazodone – nor did her dentist mention it in regard to its inhibition of Halcion’s metabolism].

Allergic or toxic
Skin rash, itching, edema, and, rarely, hemolytic anemia, methemoglobinemia, liver enzyme alterations, obstructive jaundice, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, purpuric maculopapular eruptions photosensitivity and fever.
Gastrointestinal
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, anorexia, increased appetite.
Cardiovascular
Hypotension, tachycardia, palpitations, shortness of breath, apnea, syncope, arrhythmias, prolonged P-R interval, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, ventricular ectopic activity (including ventricular tachycardia), myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrest.

Tell the doctor immediately if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed
