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...

This is good for maintaining hydration. If quick hydration is needed, add 3/4 tsp table sugar. This sugar takes the saltwater directly into the bloodstream. It doesn't need to go through the digestive system first. I bought pure dextrose on Amazon so I could use half the sugar, i.e. 3/4 tsp to 2 cups of water instead of one cup.

A bolus of 16 oz cold water stimulates the vagus nerve to produce blood, so I like to have a ice cold glass of this first thing in the morning.
