*How To Test Your Fluid Level*
(Taken from Chapter 13 of Dr. Lendon Smith's book "Feed Your Body Right")
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*How Can You Determine The Level Of Your Fluids?*
Do this little test right now. While seated, place your hand,
palm down, on your thigh. The veins on the back of your hand
should stand up above the surface and feel moderately firm and
puffy. If your veins are full, slowly raise your hand and watch
when the veins collapse. They should be able to carry some
blood in them until they reach your eye level. If they become
flat at your nipple level, you are really low in fluid, maybe a
quart down. If the veins collapse at your chin level you are a
pint low. At those levels you should be able to say, "Yes, I
am thirsty." You would also notice that your hands and feet
are cold. (If the veins stay full when your hand is above your
head, you may be in heart failure. See your doctor. If your
veins are not up when your hand is on your leg, your fluid
level is very low and your electrolytes are out of balance.
*Why Is The Fluid Level Important?*
The fluid level must be higher than the level of your heart in
order to provide proper circulation to all parts of your body.
The fluid level must be great enough to transport toxins from
your system. Normal wear and tear, but especially injuries and
exercise, will deposit garbage about the body. If this
material stays in the tissues, healing cannot begin. If you
damage cells and the proper materials are not available for
repair, that cell or group of cells will die. Proper
circulation plus a balanced chemistry will deliver the
necessary new material and replace the damaged cells and remove
the unhealthy, waste materials. The electrolytes help to flush
out the waste materials. When your fluid level is up, your
skin will feel warm and moist to the touch and will have
elasticity and turgor. If the sodium level is high, the veins are usually up.
*What Fluids Should We Take?*
The work of Dr. Sidney Ringer showed that the best replacement
fluid is that which most closely imitates the electrolyte
concentration of the serum...... Some people crave certain
soft drinks. They are fluids ...but the artificial sugars, the
phosphates, and the caffeine in so many of them make them
worthless. Although coffee and tea are fluids, the caffeine in
them tends to act as a diuretic, and the imbiber may lose more
fluid than gained. Alcohol has a similar stimulating effect on
the kidneys; the net effect is a loss of fluid from the body.
Diet 7UP may be all right for some people who know that they
are alkaline and need the carbonate but a carbonated seltzer
water is better. When you drink just water, you constantly
dilute the amount of nutrients in your body
*Why Electrolytes?*
Electrolytes in the blood serve to maintain the acid/base
balance by buffering the acidic and alkaline elements. They
help to main the proper volume of blood so the blood pressure
is adequate to circulate the blood to all parts.
*Where Can You Get Electrolytes?*
I imagine you can get them at a health food store. Dr. Lendon
Smith also has a product list order form on his web site. His
electrolyte solutions come in three forms: one with more
sodium for those with low blood pressure, one with less sodium
for those with high blood pressure, and one with a normal
amount of sodium for those with normal blood pressure. A
bottle costs $14.79. To learn more you can go to
http://www.lbwic.com/lbprodlst.html or
call 1-800-488-2840.
You can also order his book from this web site.
*What Will Taking Electrolytes Do?*
The electrolytes are usually consumed mixed half and half with
milk, two to three times a day. This combination will balance
the electrolytes and increase the fluid level by increasing the
circulation. This combination will flush out the waste
materials from the body. Good health is a balance of water and
electrolytes. A scientifically formulated electrolyte
replacement drink is your best method of maintaining a healthy
internal environment. Don't be rude to your body; it's the only one you get.

*Shameless Promotion By Our Sponsors*
Hi, My name is Kathy Anderson and I want to update my testimony
about the "NONI". As I wrote before, I have several Chronic
diseases, and started taking the noni in hopes that I could
feel better and find relief for the many symptoms I live with.
Well, little did I know!! I can not believe the difference in
my health in only one month!!! My Lupus symptoms are all gone,
no painful joints! The Epstien-Barr, Chronic Fatigue,
Fibromyalgia symptoms are "ALL" totally relieved!!!!! I had
Psoriasis on my scalp so bad, my whole scalp was covered and I
was losing my hair. It is almost gone and my hair is growing
back!!!!! I have more energy than I know what to do with and
feel WONDERFUL!!!! I stay up all day and do all sorts of things
like I used to do. And I KNOW it is all because of the "NONI
JUICE". I will take NONI everyday for as long as I live, and I
think everyone should!!! I Love my NONI!!!
