  1. I take alot of vits/herbs sometimes at 8:00 PM or later. I sleep on my
    stomach and wrap the blankets underneath as well as above. The room is
    always cool. I wake up in the middle of the noght and my chest area is wet
    with sweat. I am 57 and average weight and active. Any ideas what can
    cause this. Also once I wake in the middle of the night I cannot fall back
    to sleep as my mind has a million thoughts runnning through it.

    Thank you for the input

    Night sweats is caused by silica (silicon dioxide) deficiency. You can
    get them from the health shop or chemist (drug store?) in either a
    straight milligram dose or homeopathic 6x type tablet. Silica is one
    of the essential 12 cellsalts needed for health and wellbeing
    according to the cellsalt theory.
    Silica also gets rid of underarm odour, tinnitus / ringing in the
    ears, itchy eyes and nose, is good for cardiovascular health, hair and
    nails, and arthritis and acidity.

  5. Ken,

    You did not give enough details for me to
    ascertain this, but is your body, or any part thereof
    consistently cold when you go to bed but warm later in
    the night? I assume that you wouldn't be wrapping
    blankets around yourself unless you were cold, and it
    takes your body some time to warm up, after which you
    feel hot. I would attribute this to poor circulation in
    general. I wonder if you tried using a hot-water bottle
    (which will cool off as your body warms) instead of so
    many blankets it might improve the situation.

    As for thinking about things keeping you awake, I
    expect you are in a majority with that.

  7. Night sweats are fairly common, as I understand. I was told that it
    was due to the mechanism that controls your body temperature, when you
    are awake body temp is controlled more precisely than when you are
    asleep. ( Anyone, is that correct?)

    As to not going back to sleep, I take Melatonin prior to sleep and it
    helps me. If I wake up at night, I take a Tums (calcium carbonate), and
    find that it helps me go back to sleep. I used to have a severe problem
    with insomnia, but this approach seems to have solved it.

    Melatonin comes in either 3 mg or 300 ug, too much can make you drowsy
    in the am. Experiment to determine your dosage.

    There are numerous reasons for night sweats as well as hot flashes in the day
    time.

    Inositol will help any kind of hot spells.

    It comes is chewable form also.

    But will the inositol merely alleviate the *symptom* of night sweats
    instead of addressing the cause? Does inositol cure cancer or HIV?

    Night sweats is caused by silica (silicon dioxide) deficiency.

    Silicon dioxide is sand. Carole thinks eating sand will prevent night
    sweats. This is not an unusual sort of thing for Carole to espouse.

    No Dave, you have got that wrong -- as usual. Silica / silicon dioxide
    is not sand but an essential mineral. People need mineral supplements

    From the exact report you cited:

    "Very small amounts of silica are normally present in all body
    tissues but there is no evidence that they play any physiological
    role."

    The claim that silica is "good for chronic disease" came from an
    unpublished French manuscript dating from 1973, which was mentioned in the
    literature survey section of the report. The report didn't attempt to
    evaluate any of the literature mentioned in the survey section. So the WHO
    didn't say that silica is good for chronic disease; they simply said that
    someone else had said that silicon deficiency was associated with chronic
    disease.

    Basically all the report said was that silica is safe to use as a food
    additive.

    hmmm...no where in these 30+ year old diatribes do I see the words "necessary
    for health" , nor that it is "good for chronic disease"

    actually I read that they were documenting that it was "not dangerous" in
    various animal models....this is different that documenting its efficacy..

    in fact..since the majority of the "studies" were on rabbits..mice,,dogs and
    other animals..the results cannot be extrapolated to man

    also...if the "essential mineral" is excreted in the urine..it can't be too
    essential..or it would have been absorbed...in essence,,this "cite" states that
    silica is NOT dangerous because it is excreted in the urine..

    well duh...so is an excess of any water soluble vitamin or mineral...

    those who consume large quantities of Vit C WILL excrete in urine what the
    body doesn't need...and it doesn't need huge quantities...a few fruits a day
    can usually supply what we need (scurvy became a problem when sailors were at
    sea for many months...without fresh fruit...unless you spend many months at
    sea....just visit your local grocery store and buy some fruit....far better
    than any supplement,,which we know is unregulated...

    Of course minerals are relevant. I even said so in a post yesterday.
    However, silicon dioxide is not an essential mineral, even in trace
    amounts. You'd be very healthy even if it were removed from your
    diet. It's just sand, no matter what you think (this is an example of
    your total lack of scientific knowledge really biting you).
