Help! Can't figure out what's behind this

[myrose]

Pat....my brother just called me...(his wife works within the medical community) I always exchange info on my daughter with him and his wife is good at getting me some answers that make sense when I have none.

I ran the bath thing by him (how it bothered my daughter and it seemed to also have an effect on yours)

 

He said that his wife talked with someone today and their response was that a hot bath or sometimes even a shower can lower your blood pressure.

 

I found that VERY interesting when I noticed how Buster mentioned the BP thing to you.

 

Can anyone add to this????

 

I will have to look around...my brothers message was very short and he didn't offer anything to back it all up with.

 

This would in my case anyhow clearly explain the effects of the baths on my daughter. The last one I thought she was going to pass out!

 

I am staying away from the baths for now....

 

Hope it turns to help a little Pat...

Pat,

Maybe it's the xylitol?

It is almost always made from corn these days and is derived from China too, nearly 100% of the time. (And I don't trust China after the big melamine in the formula fiasco.) Most folks say that xylitol is safe and good for diabetics. There are some reports that it can raise your blood pressure. I don't like any artificial sweetener, period. I just don't trust them. There are no reports that xylitol is dangerous for humans but there are threads upon threads about how they can be deadly for your pet dog. This is enough to give me pause.

With our son's corn allergy, we were forced to give up on all corn sweeteners.

We use maple syrup (not good for candida), honey (good for candida in small amounts), and evaporated cane juice (on specila occasions).
