With all the talk here about the possible benefits of using Gatorade or Pedialyte with EIS and the many concerns expressed about Gatorade and Pedialyte and their ingredients I thought I would post this offering of homemade alternatives to Gatorade or Pedialyte. I originally posted this on the SilverPets list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SilverPets/ I may have posted it here too but since the archives are down I can't be sure. In any event here it is again for anyone interested in alternatives to commercial electrolyte products. Here are a few formulas for electrolyte solutions you can make at home. The only one which could be said to be sugar free is the starch based one. This first one can be used for enemas and orally. Some of the others may be usable as enemas as well but this is the only one I'm sure of. It is advisable to warm to body temperature prior to use. Boil and cool 4 cups water (Actually I prefer to start with distilled water) It will be easier to completely dissolve the dry ingredients if one starts with warm water. Add--------- 1/2-teaspoon baking soda ------------- 1/2-teaspoon salt ------------- 3 Tablespoons sugar Be sure all of the dry ingredients are fully dissolved and mixed. Here are a couple more options for homemade electrolyte solutions. Starch-based Solution 1 quart clean (preferably distilled) water ½ teaspoon table salt 2 oz. (about 1 cup) baby rice cereal Sugar-based solution 1 quart clean water ½ teaspoon table salt 8 teaspoons sugar And a couple more. This recipe may be used in place of an over-the-counter product (Pedialyte), IF followed EXACTLY: 3 Tablespoons of Sugar 3/4 teaspoon of Salt 1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda 1 Cup of Orange Juice (I don't use this) 1 Quart of Water. Pour together and shake well, being certain that all dry ingredients are fully dissolved and mixed. (Keep refrigerated and and warm to body temperature before use and use within 48 hours). 2 quarts water 1-teaspoon baking soda 1-teaspoon salt 7 Tablespoons sugar 1 packet Sugar-Free Kool-Aid 1/2-teaspoon salt substitute The salt substitute and Kool-Aid are optional. As with the others, store in the refrigerator and warm to body temperature just prior to use. Remember too that EIS when mixed with salt produces silver chloride which is known to be much less effective than genuine ionic silver. However if one is making up one's own homemade electrolyte solution one is free to vary it to suit the need of the moment. -- LTR Registered Linux user #280295 it...@kvremcwb.com -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
