lower sodium electrolyte drink Was: pH and our gut diseases

[Guest guest]

Tamaro has been taking university courses in chemistry and other

science that help to better understand how the body works. She has discovered

that the honey is a very important part of the electrolyte drink (or,

alternatively, grape juice; see below) because the glucose in it helps to pull

the mineral ions (I hope this is the right terminology) through the cell walls.

Alternatively, grape juice may be used because it has more glucose than fructose

(other fruit juices are unsuitable). And there is also a young coconut water

version, but young coconut water is SCD illegal, I think.

In addition, each version can be made two alternate ways: using baking soda and

potassium chloride OR using Morton Lite Salt and the contents of 2-3 Klaire Labs

Bi-Carb Formula capsules.

Morton Lite Salt is hard to find in some areas, but my local supermarket carries

it. It does contain dextrose, but we know that Elane said this was ok in salt.

Elaine's original recipe called for " boiled " water and there is some

disagreement as to the importance of boiling, but it does make the honey easier

to dissolve, although shaking in a closed container will dissolve it, too.

Also, Elaine's original recipe called for discarding the unused portion and

making a new batch daily. 's doctor has questioned whether this is

necessary, but I still follow it, as annoying as that is!

Lower Sodium Electrolyte Drink Recipes (potassium replacing some of the sodium)

Any of the following is equally effective:

If Using Honey:

2 tablespoons honey

1 quart water

¼ teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

¼ teaspoon NOW Foods® Potassium Chloride*

or

2 tablespoons honey

1 quart water

2-3 capsules Klaire Labs™ Bi-Carb Formula

¼ teaspoon Morton Lite Salt®

If Using Grape Juice:

⅔ cup pure grape juice

3-⅓ cups water (to make one quart liquid)

¼ teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

¼ teaspoon NOW Foods® Potassium Chloride*

or

⅔ cup pure grape juice

3-⅓ cups water (to make one quart liquid)

2-3 capsules Klaire Labs™ Bi-Carb Formula

¼ teaspoon Morton Lite Salt®

*NOW Foods® Potassium Chloride* is available from a number of online vendors

including www.iherb.com.

Klaire Labs™ Bi-Carb Formula is available online from sources including

www.professionalsupplementcenter.com, but you have to call, fax or email because

they don't show it on the web site.

I saw some of the fractions came out as garbage, so I'm reposting the message

with corrections:
