Georgia Hunter: thank you for the response earlier. May I ask what is your background? Your explanations are really in depth but could you expand on a couple things?

When you say intraluminal do you mean the esophageal lumen?

I understand that H.pylori is the stomach bug blamed for ulcers at times but how would that play out as insomnia? Or am I not understanding what you meant?

More simplified version of what D-Limonene can do for the body, info from another brand:

Great link, astroman!!

I'm so glad I'm taking D-Limonene and thank you so much for sharing info about it - I doubt I would have discovered D-Limonene otherwise.

Bringing this thread back up.

I've had the D-Limonene sitting on my kitchen counter...and I'm thinking I'll start taking it. I am experiencing mild symptoms of GERD. I get a bitter taste in my mouth and sometimes the sensation of a lump in my throat.
Don't have heartburn though.


I am wondering about interactions with my meds.

So, if I take my last antibiotic at 6:00 p.m. - I'm wondering if taking the D-Limonene at 10:00 p.m. would be okay.

And, confirming - I should take it every other day for two weeks?

I had the worst reflex possible, going up my throat, gagging awake from sleep. It burned my mouth then, but still didnt have throat pain. Hartburn is just a throat pain symptom that some with reflex (gerd) can have. I think it deepens on your specific nerve location.

D-L is pretty simple. Dont be afraid to try different doses. Just try one every other day as the week progresses and see the outcome. I think 3 hrs apart is sufficient.

It is truly a miracle in some people. Why its a secret I have no idea. My alternative Dr knew about it though.

Thanks, Astro. I've got the Jarrow brand - so I will start taking it.


I guess it depends on the reason for my reflux. Mine might be muscle/nerve related. Not sure if it would still work, but I'm going to give it a try.

Thank you astroman for this link! It got me thinking. I remember reading a lot about limonenes in essential oils. I wonder if taking a drop or two of organic lemon or orange EO would have the same effect?

Still don't know how do to hyperlinks, sorry!

You can take it anytime, but orange burps happen more when your moving around.

Plus my worst GERD was while sleeping, so I took it before bed. It does have calming properties too.

When reading about it, I saw some studies on D-Limonene shrinking tumors.

So, bonus....anti-cancer qualities.
Posted 10/2/2016 4:22 PM (GMT 0)
Yep anti cancer too.

Shrink tumors? Hmm light bulb....(my thyroid nodule)

No more room on post title!!

Thanks for the links and information, all. Another supplement for my big basket......

Just wanted to update this thread with my experience thus far on the D-Limonine: I can say I'm definitely sleeping much better. All through the night unless nature calls. Hot flashes are reduced 90% as well if that's related somehow. But either way, my sleep pattern was miserable before this product and nothing else has changed so credit to the D-limonene! Thank you for posting this thread, astroman. I did order the Jarrow brand fwiw.

To me, this would indicate that you had an elevation in intraluminal aluminum and the D-Limonene helped eliminate it. I would extrapolate that farther and say a bacteria was sequestering the aluminum and H pylori is often the culprit.

I have no GERD or acid reflux or other stuff that D-limonene is suppose to help but I suffer from terrible insomnia, wonder if Pectasol-C powder or D-limonene can help me without messing other stuff if I was to use this as a sleeping aid.

In addition to above info, it also helps to some extent with anziety. Might not do much for sleep/relaxation alone though. Like anything, you need to try it to know.

I ordered Jarrow d-limonene and it will come in two days. As i'm impatient I went to ms green and there they had some other company product which was $40 for 10 pills, on the box there was warning not to take it if you have ulcers, why would that be.

I don't think it would hurt, but there are so many things that can cause insomnia. I had to go thru most of them to figure out what was causing mine. It's a little too much to try to explain.

If you can point me to a few that are not too obvious.

There are many things that cause insomnia with lyme, most here have it or had it. Its in the top 5 symptoms.

D-limonene helps with insomnia, but will not eliminate it. There is NO one suppliment that will fully eliminate it, you need to test/treat certain areas as described below and usually in combination.

In a nutshell insomnia with lyme needs addressing in these areas:

-the infections (including candida)
-anziety
-adrenals
-thyroid

The above topics also have many specific threads pertaining to them as individual issues. All of us need to fully understand the above topics.

Best to start a new thread on this question/discussion. Or used this forums specific goggle upper right corner.
*this is not the thread to discuss this, as insomnia is a huge topic and will not be seen in this thread anyway*

Many people with Lyme have a mitochondrial dysfunction that causes insomnia. They don't have enough trace minerals for normal mitochondrial processing. A few of the supplements that helped me were iodine, lithium, copper, manganese, and chromium. All of those can increase oxidative stress and be harmful. Low and slow dosing would be advised for the metals, but I'm not fond of low iodine dosing. I prefer at least 150mcg per day. I don't take any of these now but each increased duration and quality of sleep.

Lithium orotate helps as a mitochondrial transport and seems to protect it. I would supplement it once a day at bedtime starting off and gradually increase to three times a day over time.

I've got a ton of notes on sleep issues, it was one of my biggest hurdles.
Posted 11/19/2016 11:20 AM (GMT 0)
Thanks. I do take iodine but not the others.
Posted 11/19/2016 2:21 PM (GMT 0)
Wow thanks Astro and GH,

Glad I clicked on this link. Do you think I can give it to my son? He is currently on Mepron/Zithro.

Are you suggesting both supplements D-Limonene (must help since Lyme is in the name!) and the pectin or are they doing the same thing?

Thanks.
Posted 11/19/2016 2:32 PM (GMT 0)
Why is the C-pectin product SO EXPENSIVE?

Anyone herx on either the D-limonese or the C-Pectin?

Just ordered both. Thanks.

"Anyone herx on either the D-limonese or the C-Pectin?"

Never heard about it. Not many use these either though. One might not herx from killing stuff in your gut- direct way out, just a thought.

D-limonene is unrefined, thus the Jarrow brand $10 for 60, 1000mg gels. Is that what you ordered?

Enzamatic Therapy brand is $25 for five!! Same $h/t.....big rip off!...............

Both D-limonene or the C-Pectin are similar, but slightly different. GH would know.
Posted 11/19/2016 6:05 PM (GMT 0)
Astroman,

Thanks. I ordered the Jarrow D-Limonese. The C-pectin was $46. I think it will really help my husband.

Thanks.
Posted 11/19/2016 6:21 PM (GMT 0)
If you try both, let us know if you feel a difference.

Even though my gerd relux is long gone, I just feel overall (everything) better the day after taking D-limonene at night. Not huge, but is noticeable.

I suspect this overall well feeling is due to its pro-methalation and detox properties helping some of my "double" genes in those areas.
Posted 11/19/2016 7:13 PM (GMT 0)
Astro,

I'll absolutely let you know! Thank you.
