Does not need to be Q related.
I recall I read in a Medical Medium book discussing them. Here is an excerpt: Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
"Bursts of feeling hot and sweaty out of nowhere are caused by a toxic liver—not by the thyroid or menopause. Hot flashes and night sweats have nothing to do with hormones. Here’s what’s really going on: When the liver fills up with toxins such as viral poisons, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and even old storage of prescription drugs, it becomes overburdened and starts to run hot—so the body tries to cool it down. As part of this process, heat is expelled from the liver and pulsed through the body, giving you that uncomfortable overheated sensation. This is a very common experience for both women and men, though because of the stigma, men’s hot flashes aren’t normally labeled as such. They’re often called work sweats or nervous sweats instead."
Excerpt from Thyroid Healing by Anthony William, p48.
Not sure if I totally agree with the liver being the culprit. Hot flashes are caused more from the dilation of blood vessels. It would make more sense if I was on some kind of blood pressure medicine, but I am drug-free, mostly alcohol free (occasional glass of wine or margarita) and have completely done a 180 on my diet over a year ago at the best weight in years. I’m healthier now than I have ever been in the last 40 years and then all of a sudden the hot flashes started up.
no worries, i just copied the info in case you would find it helpful.
