I'm so sleepy, but I can't have coffee and I'm afraid that this morning even some green tea might trigger another cardiac episode :-/

@cherokeepatti No kidding! At least drinking tea I know it's all natural. I have no idea what was in the vanilla creamer I'd put in my coffee, lol

@Zaphod42 it's the salicylates in foods that is bothering me. They turn into acid and my body is having a hard time dealing with it. I don't know if every one of them is harming me or what. I've known for a long time I can't take aspirin (or other painkillers that doctors suggest) or wine because it inflames my joints and stomach lining. I believe a lot of different fruits and veggies are doing it to...have avoided most chemicals in foods the best I can but it's hard to eliminate all of them.

@cherokeepatti Eek! Sorry to hear that!

@Indy74 I'm ok, just sleepy and trying to figure out life again. I've had a couple mild cardiac episodes in the last couple months and my blood pressure has been all over the place, so now I have to avoid strong caffeine, carbs, sugars, fatty foods, etc. No fun.

@Zaphod42 I know what you mean. I have high blood pressure, I take two different kinds of meds. I just want you to hang in there, and if you have any more issues call your doc or go to th ER asap!🙂

@cherokeepatti Supposedly (according to the commercial) you would have to eat or drink 9 beets for every tablespoon of their product.

@4meAndyou Probably a beet powder imported from China, I don't want it if it's from China.

@cherokeepatti I would have to read the label to know where it is made, but it did look like a powder with tiny crystals. AND it's expensive. $59.00 for a big jar.
