Guest guest Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I was just on my way to the store when I read this message. I looked at the label on Gatorade. First ingredient is water, the second is sugar. How can that be good for anybody? ew # Started over 5 days ago. 102 in the evening. Did the tylenol, (no other symptoms whatsoever). No cough, sore throat, aches, a little headache, but NOTHING ELSE. He was exhausted. He slept, the next morning it went down. Because he had no other symptoms and he hasn't had any other illnesses (except for cellulitis infection of a foot ulcer which they treat with anti-biotics, and that was over 2 months ago), he's always fine. Except for his neuropathy I mean. But he never gets SICK. So naturally he wont' go to the doctor. The fever broke, and he felt better. But it was like he was hit with a truck. Very weak. He is not a drinker!!! Doesn't like water. I took him off of all diet soda with splenda, and gave him my true lemon products ordering him to DRINK because you have to have fluids with a fever. Not much of an appetite 4 days ago. So bit by bit, the fever comes down but he's still sleeping all the time. I phone his doctor (can you believe he answers his cell phone on July 4th)? I tell him his symptoms and he said " From what you are telling me, it's viral, but you can bring him in tomorrow'. I say " He WON'T come in, he is too tired " . The doctor said " You are giving him Gatorade right?' I said " Oh, no, I didn't think of that " He said to call him the next day. I immediately went out and bought 2 bottles of gatorade. Brought them home and he practically inhaled the first bottle. They are both now gone. I phoned the doctor the next day (which was yesterday) and told him " should I switch from tylenlol to ibuprofen " ? He said " yeah, do that " . So yesterday his fever was normal (his doctor said if he had a bacterial infection anywhere in his body, his fever would spike, stay up, and not go down unless he had an antibiotic and that's why he really thinks it's viral). So last night he was hungry. I made him a sandwich and a knish, and another glass of gatorade. He's been drinking this stuff for two days now. It's like his body NEEDS whatever is in the gatorade. He was on the computer last night. I took his temperature. it was 98. I said " hurray, maybe this thing has passed " He did not want to take any ibuprofen last night before bed time because he had no fever. And he was able to get up without being dizzy (like when the fever is 101. Well, I get up this morning, go into the living room, he's on the couch doing his leg exercises, I feel his forehead (his eyes are clear by the way), and I said 'you feel warm, and his temp was 101. I immediately gave him 2 ibuprofen. HE WON'T GO TO THE DOCTOR, JUST KNOW THAT!!! He says " I have a virus, I have to sweat it out " . He's been sweating on and off for a few days, one day he sweat through his shirt and of course I cleaned him up. I went out for a bit, just came home, and he asks " Can I have a scrambled egg on a bagel " . He just gobbled it down. He's laying down, he's watching tv and because this man hasn't gotten sick like this in over 25 years, I am at a loss at to what to do. I went out and got him Walgreens nutritional drink with protein because he is not eating three meals a day i also got him gatorade i " m having trouble with my keyboard right now so i can " t use certain keys sorry oh i have to give you his background as to what he contracted twenty nine years ago he got a fever lasting a long time no other symptoms like what is happening now they put him in the hospital in isolation because they didnt know what it was sorry can " t use punctuation right now they finally released him indicating on his chart it was fever of unknown origin it took about two months for him to get better never had a sore throat ear ache no other symptoms they never gave him antibiotics then either so i am thinking to myself what if something triggered that virus in his system and thats what he now has the night before he got sick we got news about our son that would devastate any family i think this is what triggered something in his body i may be wrong i have no clue but is this possible? and have any of you known someone to have a condition (a virus??) that you get a normal temp in the daytime you sweat it out you take iburprofen or some other med and it brings it right down you get your appetite back and then you wake up and its one hundred and one??? his color is good nothing hurts him no other symptoms whatsoever HE WON " T GO TO THE DOCTOR UNLESS HE " S DYING STUBBORN so any comments are (believe me) welcome giving him LOTS of fluids> his urine is dark and when i told the doctor that that is when he said " you are giving him gatorade right? " it seems he is drinking gatorade and his body is inhaling it so any input is very welcome this is harder on me than it is on him. I'm the one running around like a chicken. I told him " if you are not better by friday, I'm dragging you to the doctor " Not that the doctor could do anything if it's a virus but he can eliminate stuff right? Oh this man is so stubborn.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I agree. I think it replaces the lost electrolytes. And believe me, he needs electrolytes. Anyway, tomorrow we are off to his doctor at 3 p.m. He has no more fever but that could return. Who knows. I'm just thrilled that it's been normal since this morning. And he's drinking WATER. Right now!!! And someone told me to take are of myself. Let me assure all of you. NOBODY TAKES BETTER CARE OF ME THAN ME!! lol Melody > > I was just on my way to the store when I read this message.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 You can buy energy drinks that repace eletrolytes with out the added sugar. I am 100% against white refined sugar.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not disagreeing with you, EW  just sayin' that docs are definitely not up on the actual nutrition of various products. Carnation Instant Breakfast has enough sugar to sink a horse, but some docs will " suggest " it as a protein supplement. Most docs think of Gatorade (I believe) from the sports arena, where baseball and football players are given it to replace electrolytes lost on a warm day with lots of exercise. Yep, it works, and until there's some freaking double blind, gold standard study saying sugar isn't good for us (with the exception of diabetes), (and the FDA and industry are not going to allow THAT study to happen, LOL), docs will continue to recommend Gatorade. Meanwhile, there are recipes on the net for " pedialyte " substitutes that would probably work just as well, but given the number of households that " don't want to mess their kitchen " (as Melody says) - people will tend to do the easiest thing  buy gatorade.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 To prepare for a colonoscopy last year I had to drink nearly a gallon of Gatorade mixed with medicine. Fortunately, I only have to do this every 4 years (hx of colon cancer in family), because it will take another 4 years for me to bear to look at the stuff again. I am extremely fond of coconut juice- right out of the baby coconut is best (electrolytes!), otherwise the Amy and brand, no sugar added is good. They use thai coconuts which are naturally sweet. The brazil coconut juice is a bit sour I think. If you buy coconut juice, make sure it does not have added sugar. It is completely unnecessary. As EW and Pam and others have stated, refined sugar (corn syrup, etc) are the bane of the typical American diet. But not likely to change anytime soon n Just polished off a can of coconut juice and preparing her sprout sandwich lunch (Russian mix) Dr. Rollings NJ Licensed Psychologist #4686 www.DrnRollings.com Sent from my iPad > Not disagreeing with you, EW just sayin' that docs are definitely not up > on the actual nutrition of various products.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well, I have no more gatorade in the house. He's drinking my true lemon drinks. He's not peeing that much and I think he has some infection in his kidneys or something. I'm sure they'll do a urine test at the office. Poor guy. He has neuropathy, he has a very bad back, hence he uses a walker, and now he's hit with this. Hey, at least I got some sprouts into him. lol Will update when we come back from the doctor. Oh, take a look at this youtube video on the BADNESS of fructose. Holy Cow Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi Melody, Sorry is not doing well.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi Melody, I think pedialyte is more expensive. The good thing about pedialyte is it's easily found. Coconut water is a good idea, I always forget about it. It's also good for cooling the body if a person's " constitution " is too warm/hot. Feeding him cooling fruits like cucumber and watermelon could be good for him too right now. > > Hi. > > Is your pedialyte cheaper than the $3.79 I paid for 32 oz of coconut water?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Well, luckily he hasn't had any fever since he went to the doctor. I have no idea why. It was 7 days since the onset of his fever. And at Dr. Fred's office, he broke out in a sweat, his fever was 98 and they gave him orange juice. And yesterday he went through liquids like there was no tomorrow. Still no fever, thank goodness. And now he wants to eat fish, broccoli and carrots? I think there was something in that fever of his. lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why. It was 7 days since the onset of his fever. And at Dr. Fred's office, he broke out in a sweat, his fever was 98 and they gave him orange juice. And yesterday he went through liquids like there was no tomorrow. Still no fever, thank goodness. And now he wants to eat fish, broccoli and carrots? I think there was something in that fever of his. lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oooooh, that's a good one. Twilight Zone, Sprouts Edition. Can't you just see Rod Serline saying: You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of Mung Beans and Chia Seeds. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination, A land of Broccoli and Fenugreek, A land rich with microgreens and French Garden Mix. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: " SPROUTLAND!!!! " ROFL Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I have no idea. Essential oils have physiological effects and their tiny molecules go all over your body. Your feet have bigger pores.than other parts of you so it is absorbed.faster there. If you carry a bottle of peppermint in the car, smell of it when you get sleepy and it will make you more alert. A professor of psychology at U Cincinnati found students exposed to the odor of peppermint scored 37% higher than evpected on tests. It helps oxygenate your blood.
