Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hi, Well, I hadn't thought about the diabetes thing. I'll have to have my son check out other diabetic symptoms. As to oils, I made that suggestion, but neither one really responded. If it is a lack of oils, I wonder which might be most effective?

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hi Suzi, I had already read and considered the message on 13 symptoms of chronic dehydration, but I didn't realize that that was the message number you sent out. :-) Anyway, most of these symptoms don't seem to apply, or at least not that I, (and perhaps even he), am aware of. I mean, for example, Acid-Alkaline Imbalance isn't something most people would know about or be aware of. Also, as he is drinking quite a bit, I wasn't sure what to suggest for him to do about it, if dehydration is the problem. We did discuss the possibility of needing more salt. He is living near the Arizona,Nevada,Utah border, and works outdoors in the heat. So dehydration does seem like a possibility, but, as I said, I'm not sure that it is the whole and only problem, or, if you will, the underlying problem, and I'm not sure what to recommend.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 It really depends on what theydrink and how much. My DH drinks club soda (better than coffee and pepsi!) but onlly a few sips will kill his thirst. He tells me he is always drinking water. Not so. Club soda. Your friends might think they are drinking a lot of liquids, but what are they drinking and exatly how much?

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 CELERY is a good replacement for salt. I would try the adding oils and eating celery and see if it doesn't help... if not, I would suggest making a visit to find out exactly what the cause is.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Not really......my hubby drank anything he could get .......coffee, tea, juice, water. He was diagnosed as diabetic almost 4 years ago and since then he has also been diagnosed with liver disease too (which btw a symptom of can be skin irritations.) My mom has been diabetic for years and she too drank anything....she mostly drinks a ton of water now though but at the time she didn't know she was a diabetic so she drank anything.

As to fixes? > > Thanks much, > > TerriLynne ===================== Hi TerriLynne, Several questions if I may. What exactly do they mean that their skin is sloughing off and is fairly powdery? How do they know this? What are their diets like? Do they eat a lot of wheat products (bread, cakes, pastries, etc.). Are they eating lots of junk food? Do they use salt? Are they eating lots of preprocessed foods? There are lots of reasons why someone would have an inordinate thirst. Could be his use of condiments, salt, sugars, alcohol, etc. Course he could be a candidate for diabetes too. One of the main reasons we humans drink water is because we eat and drink the wrong things. The water is needed to counteract the dehydrating and irritating effects of what we put into our mouths. People who eat predominantly raw fruits (all biologically classified fruits) tend to need little water as they get all they need from the food they eat and the food they eat is not irritating nor dehydrating. Grains, especially wheat, are one of the worst foods for humans. We were never meant to eat grains. They are too hard to digest and will usually ferment in our stomachs before they ever reach our intestines and cooking them only makes them worse. However, they are the major contributors to skin problems like psoriasis, eczema, leprosy, etc. Salt in any inorganic form is only dehydrating to the body and necessitates the need for the body to draw liquids (water) from all the cells and organs in order to dilute it before it can do tremendous damage to the cells. The only salt the body can use is organic from plants like celery. This is not salt though but ionic sodium bound with an enzyme. Big difference. The body does not use salt it uses ionic minerals like sodium, potassium but only in organic form from plants. The body cannot break down salt and diluting salt in water does not make it organic, ionic yes but not organic. Plants break down salt and then attach an enzyme to these ions so that they will not reattach and form salt again. This is how our body uses mineral elements. We can no more digest and utilize salt than we can a rock. Your son may be eating too many starches too which can and will lead someone on the road to becoming a diabetic. Just some things to consider. Don Quai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
