Herbal Solution to Bed Wetting

The cardinal rule when it comes to controlling enuresis: never allow your child to drink excessive amount of fluids for at least one hour before bedtime. In addition, your child must cut back on drinking coffee, soda, and other beverages that contain caffeine, which triggers the increased production of urine. Instead, you can give your child a glass of cranberry juice before he goes to bed. You can also give him one teaspoon of raisins and two teaspoons of walnuts before he hits the sack.

Herbal products can greatly help in reducing the chances of your child wetting the bed. You can try Lemon balm, Zea, Horsetail, or Melissa officinailis. Herbal teas such as oak bark, pulstilla, bearberry, lycopodium, wormwood, ursi, and causticum are effective bed-wetting busters as well.

Minnesota DFL Endorses Margaret Kelliher

Margaret Anderson Kelliher was endorsed as the DFL candidate for Governor in Minnesota in what will likely be one of the most hotly contested gubernatorial elections in the country this fall.

The DFL (Democratic) Party already has three other candidates planning on running in the primary. Susan Gaertner, Matt Entenza and Former Senator and department store heir Mark Dayton.

The Republican party appears to be on a more disciplined track to nominate a single candidate to serve as their standard bearer to replace outgoing Republican incumbent Tim Pawlenty, who has been actively running for President since the last election, when he was passed over by Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate.

The DFL endorsed candidate has not fared well in the past twenty plus years. Some say it's because the caucus system used by the DFL in Minnesota tends to discourage all but the most active members from participating effectively.

That is a large part of why so many talented and credible DFL candidates are bypassing the process and running directly in the primary.

If Kelliher looses the primary, and the Dems go on to lose in November, you can expect a movement to change the party process, but the odds of success of a significant change appears low.
