Sweetheart, I am so glad you posted!

Dear Xalokix,

You said that you stopped bed-wetting when you were four, and began again recently.

That's a tremendous clue!


Something has changed.


I wet my bed, regularly, until I was 12, then stopped. If there were dry nights, I can't remember them.

Then, in my 60's, I got an 'urgency' to go, often in the day, and had to get up in the night.

That ruins sleep, the all-important 'repairing' function. Plus, it is so tiresome....an annoyance.


And, it is almost impossible to understand 'why'. I have been looking for answers for several years. I have suspected mercury in the body for a long time, but not been able to pin it down to the exact sources...except mercury Amalgam ('silver') fillings in my teeth.

But, I didn't get my first filling until I was 18, because I didn't ever have a cavity. Friends suggested I get a 'dental check-up', anyway, and I did. That dentist had me watch in a mirror while he used a metal instrument to break a bit of the top of one molar. Then he declared that it was 'soft' and needed a filling.

Not knowing enough, I let him.

I won't tell you my whole sad dental story...except to say there are dentists who deserve a good smack, in my opinion.


Still, my body was able to handle whatever mercury contamination I was given. I didn't restart wetting my bed...though I have always had some difficulty with 'urgent' urination feelings, all of my life. I thought it was 'normal' until recent years when it happened more frequently, and interupted my sleep.

I am 70 years old, and though I don't wet my bed, I am fed up with these feelings of urgency.


A few days ago I read about the dangers of corn syrup...which contains 'fructose', a form of fruit Sugar that occurs naturally...BUT, we are NOT told how they extract 'fructose' from corn.

Mercury is used in this process...and other scary substances.


I remember that my mother always had corn syrup in the cupboard, though I don't remember how she used it...except for on pancakes. We didn't have those very often.

I do know that corn syrup has been used in baby formulas since way back, to make the baby poop the indigestible cow's milk.

If corn syrup was made with mercury and other such things in those days, too, we may have created a huge problem.

I believe that only mother's milk is good for babies.


Anyway, in that article I read a few days ago, it was said that corn syrup is now in every processed food, including bread. ...Free mercury...and more.

...Which means that, if the processor of our favorite processed foods has recently added corn syrup in one form or another, we may be getting more contaminents than anyone intended...without knowing.


I don't blame anyone...that's just the current level of understanding in the food industry.

I don't even know if this really IS the cause of urinary difficulties in people of any age. However, urinary difficulties are rampant, everywhere.

Just to prove that for yourself, look for 'adult diapers' in supermarkets. No company would make them for sale in a supermarket if there wasn't a huge need. Companies are very careful with their investment money! They have to be certain of big profits from any new product.


And, I wouldn't blame your mom, or anyone, for not knowing that it isn't YOUR fault. Many people have been told to punish the incontinent child. Someone even thought up the term of 'tough love', when there isn't any such thing. Love, real caring, is never 'tough'. It is just so easy to distract anyone from any undesirable behaviour or thinking with a smile.

I'll go get the link to a short film that illustrates this...

Now, as for taking care of yourself...

First, eliminate all processed food. Tell your family that you suspect that corn syrup/man-made 'fructose', isn't good for you...and that you want to eat simply, for a while.

Get your hands on the best fruit and vegetables and eggs and wholesome fats and very small amounts of the best, unadorned, meats that you can find. This may take tact with your family because the most wholesome foods may cost more, but you'll be eliminating any spending money you now use to buy 'snacks', if any.

(Look for anyone growing no-till, and organic, on heritage land...and get a great education. You may find people, and maybe even a small job, with such a perfectionist grower. It would be wonderful to get an education and free 'samples', from someone who takes care to grow NO-TILL, ORGANIC, and on HERITAGE LAND. You may find them in Organic Growers' Associations, or you may find their kids at school with you.)


If you can, find a shop that sells organic cotton cloths. Usually they sell mostly baby things, like diapers and such. However, they will certainly know where to get anything else organic cotton that you need. Maybe you can special order.


Here is how to make a bed for anyone who may need it...


Across the middle of the bed, where the hips will be, on top of the bottom sheet, put a rubber sheet that has cotton flocking on it.

Then add, across the rubber sheet, a folded cotton flannelette sheet of some kind. (They used to be called 'receiving blankets', for babies.)

Then diaper the person, without plastic or rubber pants.

If they do have an accident, only the center of the bed and the diaper need to be changed.

You might want to have two cotton-flocked rubber sheets, one to be gently washed and dried in the morning.

This is how hospital beds are made for those who need it. They change very quickly and easily.

There is even a way to fold diapers especially for girls. The shop will gladly show you how.


Sadly these things aren't cheap, nor are throw-away 'adult diapers', but the comfort of trouble-free sleep is well worth it!


No more tears, little one. This is NOT a life-long arrangement!

Your marvelous body works wonderfully.

I don't really know what 'causes' incontinence in anyone. For all I know it may be worry. But, I've looked long enough, and hard enough, to make guesses.

Besides, like you, I'm a good detective.


Some folks just have never needed to find answers...never really thought about it.

But, there are thousands who have, if there are 'adult diapers' in the supermarket.

And we WILL solve this, with a team like that on our side!


With you,

Fledgling
