Cheney: The glucose in Gookinaid...

[Guest guest]

The only problem with that theory, is that yeast is very often

present in the mouth, not just the intestines, and the glucose

would theoretically feed that " population " before it even got to the

stomach.

> A study by Bell and Streeten established that the average

CFIDS patient has only 70% of normal blood volume. To

address this, Dr. Cheney recommends drinking one quart of an

electrolyte solution daily on an empty stomach. The best one he

has found is Hydralate (Gookinaid) (www.gookinaid.com).

> Hydralate is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream through

the stomach lining because it is isotonic-it matches the

chemical concentration of the body's fluids.

>

> When one of our local members asked Dr. Cheney about

vitamin IV's, Gookinaid came up. While Dr. Cheney thinks the IV's

can be very helpful, he told her that if they are inconvenient or

expensive, she could get virtually the same benefit from her

regular supplements and drinking Hydralate (Gookinaid). (This

assumes there is no problem assimilating supplements.)

Because Hydralate absorbs so rapidly, it acts like an IV.

>

> The glucose concerned some since it's a sugar and sugar

feeds yeast. He said that it is not a concern with this product.

Hydralate passes directly from the stomach into the blood and

never enters the intestinal tract where the yeast flourishes.

>

> Only fluids similar in concentration to the body's are easily

absorbed. Water can cause the cells lining the stomach to swell,

and slow absorption. Solutions that are too concentrated can

pull water from your body into your digestive tract.

> Drink 3 - 4 glasses sipped over ice daily. Observe blood

pressure response. Consider stopping if blood pressure rises

above 140/90. The type of water or amounts are irrelevant as

long as it's some sort of filtered-type of water (not tap) and the

ratios are the same.

> The potassium has an unpleasant taste. One member adds

several drops of stevia and puts an herbal tea bag in the empty 2

liter bottle she uses to hold this mixture. (Something to give it

flavor without altering the electrolyte balance: peppermint, peach,

raspberry zinger, etc.)

lightheadedness upon standing or when in a warm environment

(ie bath).
