Resource Type:

Report or Study

Dr. Cheney's Home brew contains no sugar and is another viable blood volume enhancer for people with ME/CFS, POTS and/or orthostatic intolerance

• 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.

Cheney recommends four to eight glasses Gookinaid or Home Brew a day.
