Making an oral electrolyte drink is not difficult nor expensive. The hard part is to get them to over-hydrate when they can still drink. Start with a quart of clean water. Here is the recipe: 1/2 tsp table salt 1/2 tsp salt substitute a few grains of Epsom salts a ground up antacid tablet 1/4 tsp baking powder The primary ions of electrolytes are sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) (ordinary table salt), potassium (K+) (table salt substitute), magnesium (Mg2+) (Epsom salt, a few grains), calcium (Ca2+) and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3−) (Tums-type antacid, or found in baking soda, sodium bicarbonate), and hydrogen phosphate (HPO42−) (baking powder and sodium bicarbonate).

I will remember to get them to drink and drink some more. I know when I get sick, I do not like to drink.

I think I will pass out this recipe when I dress up as the Florence Nightingale of Liberia at next Saturday’s party.

Thank-you for finding this recipe for me.
