Source Naturals Melatonin is the best!
My husband and I have been using Source Naturals Melatonin for almost 25 years. I have tried a few other brands, and I definitely think Source Naturals is the best! I once saw a program on Discovery channel about how Melatonin is an important heart antioxidant, and that after age 40 the Melatonin in our system goes way down. We had also just moved to a high altitude town, and I was having great difficulty sleeping because of the high altitude. We started taking Source Naturals Melatonin, and I was able to sleep like a baby. I really recommend the time release especially, and we also take a 1 mg sublingual lozenge to fall asleep more quickly.

The Three (3) Pillars of my bedrock testimony have been destroyed
Format: Paperback
Having been born and reared in the Church, it was not merely a "church," but it was "The Only True Church on the Face of the Earth." It was my identity, I served a misson, Branch President, H.P., Stake Mission President, sending my son on his mission next week, so imagine my sense of betrayal, and the helplessness and confusion I felt after reading this book. My three (3) pillars were: (1) a young man may spawn a lie, for personal motivations, but he can still be a Prophet, and nobody would carry a lie so far as to be killed for it; (2) No man could have written the Book of Mormon; and (3) the Temple Ceremony is so sacred and unusual that it could not have been imagined or contrived. Well, this most carefully documented, carefully written, carefully researched book, has all but destroyed my pillars. Fawn Brodie, Niece of the Prophet, David O. McKay, has done meticulous research and I have searched for but never found or read an official LDS Church response or debunking of it; I've searched the BYU F.A.R.M.S. site hoping for an academic, honest review of her evidence and hoping to find that Ms. Brodie's research was flawed or dishonest. But despite my motivations and wide-spread search, I have never read a criticism of her sources, or documented proof that her research is false, or that her conclusions are false, only that she had an agenda and some of her conclusions are specious and not well supported. Well, that is simply disengenuous criticism. To say that Ms. Brodie can only prove "A, B, C, and D," but "jumps" to a conclusion that "E" exists, is simply blind faith ignorance and dishonest academia. This book constitutes the "mysteries," that the Church teaches its members to stay away from. But it is hardly a mystery. This book explains with a clarity and insight never-before heard by an LDS member, how Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon, how he practiced polygamy before receiving the alleged revelation; why he was tarred and feathered; exactly where the Temple signs and symbols came from; the extent Joseph would go to protect his power and authority, and many more "mysteries." No active member of the Church should read this book lest their eyes be opened. It hurts! Truth is not pleasant sometimes, why should it be. I just wanted it "straight," I didn't want to be lied to any longer. If the Church simply said, "we're a good church, doing good deeds, helping the poor, please give your tithes to help us, I would most certainly go. But the Church says, "we are the only true and living church on the face of the earth." To me, that's a challenge to find out for myself, which I did. Now, I am a "mormon in recovery." My entire belief system, every single word I've ever been taught, is a lie. I am undone. Now I must look to God, for answers that I thought only the LDS Church had.

Everyone interested in Mormon History or Mormonism should read this book.
Format: Paperback
This book is a classic, and is generally recognized as such. The topic, which is the life of Joseph Smith, found its ideal author in Fawn Brodie, a Mormon who was on the verge of excommunication and who as about as sympathetic to Smith as an honest historian could be. One is tempted to say that Smith is presented, warts and all. But it would be more helpful to say that Smith is presented, virtues and all, because a man who concocts what purports to be holy scripture, who fakes divine revelation, who organizes three Waco-type compounds, who institutes militias and secret societies to kill his enemies, who decrees polygamy to satify the lusts of himself and his male colleagues, who orders the destruction of his enemies and who lies about most of these things probably has more warts than virtues.
Brodie wrestles constantly with the issue of how a man of such limited education and rather obvious fraudulent intent could attract thousands of dedicated followers. It is no wonder that Brodie in her later works became so attracted to psycho-history. She advances a rather attractive hypothesis which suggests how Smith could have deluded himself into believing his own nonsense: Since all our thoughts are the product of previous states of mind, and since these states include all the factors which go into our perceptions, concepts and mental "programs", there is no essential difference between our control over our waking thoughts and our control over our dreams, reveries, and other semi-conscious states. We just think there is, because the illusion of control is part of the nature of the mental state we call "consciousness." If that is so, then it can be argued that a "revelation" which derives from our past state of mind is no more originated by our own will than the conscious perception that we are being visited by the angel Moroni.
Of course, this line of thought comes dangerously close to solipsism, and solipsism comes dangerously close to autotheism (if there is nothing else in the universe but oneself, then everything there is must be an extension of oneself, and hence one must be God). Toward the end of his life, Smith's megalomania was indeed headed in this direction.
Brodie does a wonderful job describing how Charismatic Smith must have been. To have persuaded people of real intelligence and ability like Brigham Young and his own wife Emma into believing and supporting him throughout his career, and to have, as she puts it, "Caused men to see visions" is no mean feat. And to have created a religion which, for all its faults, is far more admirable than its own founder bespeaks one of the most fascinating characters in American history. Everyone interested in religion, psychology, and American History should read this book.

"The definitive work on the Mormon prophet"
Format: Paperback
When a Mormon girl joined our school when I was in the fifth grade, I became curious about Mormonism, though never enough to read much about it. That curiosity eventually morphed into curiosity about Joseph Smith, its founder. How does one go about establishing a new religion? In nineteenth-century America, no less?
One salient point in Fawn Brodie's biography of Smith (b. 1805, d. 1844) is that the years of his youth and early manhood "were the most fertile in America's history for the sprouting of prophets." William Miller, John Humphrey Noyes, Jemima Wilkinson, Joseph Dylks. Smith, then, was not an isolated phenomenon. Another salient point: before the angel Moroni directed him to the book of golden plates that he then translated and published as the Book of Mormon, Smith was a practitioner of necromancy and advertised his ability to divine buried deposits of gold and money.
Brodie seems to like Smith. She portrays him as gregarious, imbued with great personal charm, having a quick mind, and genuinely fond of people. She also writes that "embedded in [his] character was the commonplace Yankee mixture of piety and avarice," which "he developed to a special flowering." That special flowering was a religious con man, one who eventually inhabited the fabulous castles of his own devising. By the 1840s and the settlement of Nauvoo, Smith was using his position as spiritual and political head of the Mormon community for his own, secret, monetary gain. And then there was his concupiscence. In his later years, he took somewhere between twenty-seven and fifty wives; not all but many of those marriages were consummated sexually. The practice of "plural wives" of course received theological blessing (or rationalization), but even so Smith could be both sneaky and high-handed in pursuing it. For example, in April 1843 his wife Emma went to St. Louis on business with Lorin Walker, one of Smith's business aides. During their absence Smith asked Walker's seventeen-year-old sister Lucy to become his wife. According to Lucy, his proposal/seduction went like this: "I have no flattering words to offer. It is a command of God to you. I will give you until tomorrow to decide this matter. If you reject this message, the gate will be closed forever against you."
In many respects, Joseph Smith seems to have been a quintessential American. Similarly, his Mormonism seems a fittingly American religion. Along the same lines, Brodie sees the Book of Mormon as "one of the earliest examples of frontier fiction, the first long Yankee narrative that owes nothing to English literary fashions. Except for the borrowings from the King James Bible, its sources are absolutely American. * * * Its matter is drawn directly from the American frontier, from the impassioned revivalist sermons, the popular fallacies about Indian origin, and the current political crusades."
NO MAN KNOWS MY HISTORY quells my curiosity regarding Joseph Smith. It also serves as a history of the early Mormon Church and a window on the United States circa 1820 to 1845. The book's style is somewhat old-fashioned (it originally was published in 1945), and as history it is more scholarly than popular. There is a lot of detail, much more than I really wanted. (Smith would make an ideal subject for a pithy two-hundred-page biography.) Most importantly, I sense that the biography is objective. In that regard, it should be noted that before becoming an esteemed professor of history at UCLA, Fawn Brodie grew up a devout Mormon in a small hamlet outside Ogden, Utah. In 1946, she was summarily excommunicated from the Mormon Church as a heretic.
In 2012, James Reston, Jr. wrote that NO MAN KNOWS MY HISTORY "remains today the definitive work on the Mormon prophet."
