Difficulty in getting hydrated

Difficulty in getting hydrated
August 14, 2014 12:50AM
Gentlepersons,

My 64-year-old partner suffers from stress with her Alzheimer's mother but is generally healthy.

Keeping hydrated is a problem though she drinks and drinks water.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Alex

Just water is a poor way of getting hydrated, as many have found.
There was the runner in the Boston Marathon who died; not enough electrolytes in his blood to keep the heart beating.
I drink distilled water, but always add for 2 litres:
1 or 2 teaspoon pickling or canning salt (close enough to pure salt - do not use table salt).
1 teaspoon vit. C as ascorbic acid
1 teaspoon potassium chloride
1 teaspoon citric acid.

This from the VWT Iodine forum at curezone.com, where it is known as IMAM - for Improved Miracle Adrenal Mixture.

Alexe,

Have her get tested by an MD trained in BioIdentical Hormone Replacement therapy for vasopressin deficiency. It is very common in us generally older folks and yet frequently completely overlooked in many health screening exams. Thin deeply wrinkled skin and deep set eyes are a couple signs, and having to get up to pee more than once in the night is a strong hint it could be a problem as the water you drink goes rushing out of your body and happens somewhat during the day too but is mostly at night.

If so, then taking Desmopressin which is a synthetic form of Vasopressin that us structurally very close to bio-identical vasopressin can often really help keep fluids and electrolytes in the body a lot better.

Certainly worth a try and Desmopressin has few side effects at normal doses.
