Dear Chick,

Thanks for your question. I would love to be able to give advise but there are so many reasons for sleeplessness. Since she has already "Tried everything" I don't want to waste her time giving unhelpful suggestions. Like a doctor, I would need the whole story before I could make a diagnosis.

Sorry about the website glitch. I put the name in wrong, but it is now correct: www.yogahealth.us.

One book I recommend for anyone wanting to take control of her menopausal symptoms is Dr. Christiane's Northrup's "The Wisdom of Menopause."

Now let me answer the other question that keeps coming up-- What is TMC. You are probalby familiar with one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine-- accupuncture. Another aspect is a long tradition of herbal remedies. Dr. Northrup uses "Quality of Life Herbs" which you can find on the Internet. See also page 550-551 of her book.

Keep me posted.
