60 mg of Ab12? Thats about 7 sublinguals in one day? This is a one time dose?
Cheney's electrolyte formula with no salt is half and half sea salt and no salt but intended I think for low blood volume issues with dysautonomia. Its interesting that postassium raises aldosterone. I am wondering if one can make the drinks by taste? If you crave more potassium than salt, etc.
Volume loading using appropriate volume expanders can be quite helpful. This can be done in a variety of ways, but falls best under the term of isotonic [same salt concentration as normal cells and blood] volume expansion. Hydralyte (Gookinaid) is a well-documented isotonic volume expander and is used in athletic events such as marathon running." [Gookinaid.com] "It has an advantage of rapid absorption and is maintained in the intravascular volume far longer than hypotonic [less salt concentration] drinks such as water itself. The disadvantage to Hydralyte (Gookinaid) is that it has sugar in it in the form of glucose."
"Another option would be a HomeBrew mixture of sea salt and "No Salt."
HomeBrew recipe:
?1 cup filtered or spring water
?1/8 teaspoon of Sea Salt
?1/8 teaspoon of "No Salt" salt substitute (potassium).
?Add lime juice or an herbal teabag as well as stevia for taste (or something to give it flavor without altering the electrolyte balance: peppermint, peach, raspberry zinger, etc.)
You can add 1 cup of Seltzer Water in there too, however, if you do, you need to double the amounts of Sea Salt & "No Salt" as has been done in the recipe below. See this earlier page for more information or read various posts on the subject on Yahoo!Groups CFSFMExperimental.
According to Dr. Cheney, "Four to eight glasses of Hydralyte (Gookinaid) or HomeBrew are recommended. Why is potassium in these drinks? Potassium induces Aldosterone , a hormone that significantly increases blood volume."

Hi Soulfeast,
60 mg of Ab12? Thats about 7 sublinguals in one day? This is a one time dose?
That is 6 x 10mg-adb12 from Source Naturals. I use the mass of adb12 itself, not conversion to the number of molecules of cyanocbl equivalence which is a fiction since anything beyond 125mcg of cyanocbl is fiction anyway.
After there is NO PERCEPTABLE effect from taking a single 10mg adb12 and all the body startup for adb12 is finished, then one tries the 50-60mg adb12 test. If there is an effect likely it will only happen once as it birngs the CNS up to equilibrium. I do it once a week to maintain that equilibrium. ALS and Parkinson's and possibly others have a specific indicator for low adb12 of MMA in the CSF and it is thought that it takes a couple of decades of malfunctioning neurological mitos for the damage to develop. Also, I feel better, have more energy, my brain works better and better moods and better sex. All good reasons to try it. If there is no effect he first time, according to my hypothesis they are not short of it in the CNS. The effect is small and not terribly noticable and gets lost in the much larger body effects if equilibrium isn't reached in the body first. The mb12 and adb12 effects of the 50mg test are quite independent and different.
I can't vouce for adding that much sodium salt to ones intake. Somebody also said that it interfers wioth the potassium. I don't know.
