Wow, Barb!Maybe the problem is that they don't like V8 juice. I wish I did, but I would have a hard time drinking it. So I guess I won't be loading any hay soon....- KateOn Jul 9, 2006, at 9:26 PM, Barb Peck wrote:I pre loaded each day with 300mg/magnesium oxide/300 mg calcium, 1/2 teaspoon table salt and 10 oz.

That's probably true.

I know I'm different in that aspect. If it's good for me - I choke

it down, then change my perception of it, so that I actually get to

like what I originally loathed.

My huband and I can both down brewers yeast mixed in water- and

THAT " S hard core.

There's no placebo effect with him - he never thinks anything is

going to work on anything LOL!

Hi Barb,

Thanks.

Living in sweden I have some questions.

What does V8 Juice contain?

Where do I look for a source for magnesium oxide, calcium?

Right on, Barb!!!! Is this the same balance that you used during your recovery, or did you use a commercial one? I can't remember. But I think we should put something in our file section about this. Maybe I'll just reference your post. Your logic makes sense to me, especially as people seem to be raving most about the Blasi recuperation electrolyte mix, and the salt/C protocol. penny Barb Peck <egroups1bp@...> wrote: OK- this

This is information (but I know it's going to sound like I'm bragging)I've just spent 2 days in the hay fields- 90+ temperatures, and over 100 degrees in the barns ( up in the mow stacking).I pre loaded each day with 300mg/magnesium oxide/300 mg calcium, 1/2 teaspoon table salt and 10 oz. V 8 juice. Then I took a lliter of gator aid with me.We put in 800 bales - in the 3 barns we worked- I was in the peak of the barns stacking - no air, and really really hot- over 100 degrees. It takes about 40 minutes to unload a wagon (100 bales to the wagon)2 people in the wagon, 3 in the mow. Bales are 40 lbs each.There were 2 men up there with me - one my age one 20 years younger. We were all just drenched with sweat and they both had to take a break while I could keep going ( the bales do not stop coming off the

elevator). I have incredible stamina on my home made elctrolyte mix.I know I'm staying better hydrated than my co-workers, even though we are all drinking about the same and sweating the same.Everyone wants to know how I can keep going when everyone else gets dizzy, light headed and has to sit down.... I keep telling them what I pre-load with, and no one does it... They look at me like I'm talking a foreign language - what's UP with that????

V-8 juice has a trememndous amount of potassium in one small serving, which makes it easier than supplementing the normal way, since the U.S. government, for some reason, has decided that supplements cannot contain more than 99mg per serving. Not very helpful when you're a pwc. pennyKate <KateDunlay@...> wrote: Wow, Barb! Maybe the problem is that they don't like V8 juice. I wish I did, but I would have a hard time drinking it. So I

Per:

Pharmaceutical grade powders:

Magnesium Oxide (USD) $16.00 per kilo

Calcium Carbonate (USD) $16.00 per kilo

I order from Life Extension on line www.lef.org

Iodized table salt (I just get it in the grocery store)

V8 juice is a blend of many vegtables but the

important ingredient in V8 juice is potassium. There's 470mg

potassium in 8 oz juice. If you can't get product this in Sweden,

then you can substitute " Lite " salt (which is half potassium

chloride, and half sodium chloride) You'll have to figure out how

much to take to get about 470mg potassium... there should be

something written on the container to help you figure this.

These should all be taken at the same time. If you don't have the V8

juice, then drink 8 oz of water right after you take all of it.
