Bed-wetting

An unexpected topic! While I wouldn't expect many working women to suffer from bed-wetting themselves (!) I know a few working mums with kids who still wet the bed. This causes interrupted sleep for everyone, shame and stress for the child and extra house work doing the washing! Phillip Day, international researcher on health, links bed-wetting to food sensitivities and allergies. He mentions this in his book "The ABCs of Disease" where he lists a range of childhood discomforts such as asthma and tonsillitis with ADHD and links them all to allergies. There would be lots of Mums who hadn't thought of that! If you'd like to know more, contact me or get hold of Phillip's book at http://www.credence.org/. And what are the options otherwise? What triggered this post was today's recall and warning notice : "Desmopressin Nasal Spray No Longer Indicated for Bed-Wetting: Children who receive the drug are at increased risk for severe hyponatremia that can lead to seizures and death". I'd be trying to locate the food allergy, personally! See
