it is also what is used to stop the heart in lethal injections if memory serves.

You're correct about that method of execution.

As your diuretic makes you increase the volume of urine produced, the total volume of blood is contracting and blood pressure drops. To maintain adequate perfusion and oxygenation the body compensates by increasing the heart rate.

I just ordered some to try, the testimonials about lack of fluid retention and lowered blood pressure sound very interesting.

Good for you! It lasts forever, too. I'm still on my first bag (and it's been about a year). You're gonna love it.
