SPONGEBOB 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 3 tablespoons of sugar. 1/2tsp(2.5ml)of salt. 1/2tsp(2.5ml)of bi carbonate soda. 1ltr of hot water. stir well to disolve,and allow to cool. have used this many a time & works wonders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"well seeing as you havnt answered i will tell you "... f.ucking hell boy,i only made the post 12mins before your reply,not suprising i hav'nt answered is it,or am i to continuously watch the post incase someone replies? "whate does bi carbonate soda bring to the equasion ???" bicarbonate of soda is decomposed by the acids in the body/gut,neautralising them in the process,an antacid effect if you will,it will also aid in the depletion of lactic acid(thats the one that causes the cramps you talk of). "dont believe me go and put some in a glass of water and watch what happens ........" a glass of water,i'll go one better,i HAVE,on numerous occasions put it in a litre of water with the other ingredients i've mentioned,and given to sick/dehydrated dogs.everytime it has resulted in recovery.may i ask how many dogs have you seen have muscle spasms/heart failure thru bi carb dosing,and what ammounts were involved.i can only comment on what i have seen with my own eyes,thru practical experiance.would be interested in adverse effects.

SPONGEBOB 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Why f**k about penny pinching when theres top quality products on the market that are not expensive anyway. nothing to do with penny pinching,lectade,rebound etc are all good products and i don't believe i have advised not to buy them.i mearly answered the original question,which was,do you buy or make,i make, simply because the ingrediants in the above mentioned are very similar to what i make.and like i've stated,i have used mine for a good while with good results,so why change what aint broke?at the end of the day it's an individual decision.

Just see little point in messing around when i can buy a cheap product made by a more qualfied & knowledgeable person with regards to ingredient quantities/balance. Like it or not most that do make their own up are penny pinching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"you may also want to use google to search the link with bi carbonate and the electolytes.i think you'll find it is present in,if not all,certainly the large majority of the shop bought ones." some have now changed to "trisodium citrate" as it has a longer shelf life,tho does the same job as the bi carb.

socks 32,253 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 spongebob my point is this ... if there is a risk to using bi carb no matter how small then why bother .... there is stuff out there cheap enough ......... by the way do you live in a pineapple under the sea and wear squar pants ???????????/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
