Could Your Health
Problems Be
Related to
Dehydration?

Instant CalMag-C supplement.
In this presentation
you will learn…
 What is dehydration?
 Misconceptions about it
 What causes it?
 Common culprits
 Dehydration symptoms
 Conditions caused by it
 How to prevent and remedy it
 Things you never knew about it

What exactly IS dehydration?
 Dehydration occurs when more water and fluids are exiting the body
than are entering the body.
 From the Greek hydor - water and the Latin prefix de- indicating
deprivation, removal and separation
True or False? Drinking
Too Much Water Can
Dehydrate You.
True or False? Drinking
Too Much Water Can
Dehydrate You.
You may not believe it, but it’s TRUE!
Drinking too much water can dehydrate
you because of principles you will learn later
in this presentation.
What CAUSES dehydration?
 Obviously it’s a lack of water but its ramifications run much deeper.
 It is essentially an imbalance or deficiency of minerals which inevitably
cause this condition and its symptoms.
 It often goes undetected or is wrongly-classified and hence it is
improperly remedied.
The main culprits of dehydration…

Understanding Your Body’s
Electrical ‘Wiring’ System
What can you learn from the electricity in your house about dehydration?
Your body uses
electrical power…
 The nervous system operates similar to the
electricity in your house.
 Power enters your house is channeled
through electric wiring to feed lights and
appliances plugged into the outlets which
should then run properly.
 Faulty wiring or decreased supply of power
can cause lights to flicker and appliances to
malfunction. In a blackout, nothing works at
all. Either can be quite uncomfortable.
 The same can be said about your body.
The body’s electric
power supply…
 The human body requires power to function
properly.
 All body functions are monitored by the
brain which uses electrical current to send
‘messages’ to the body’s organs. The organs
send ‘feedback’ and that completes a circuit.
 The conduit is a network of nerves that carry
electricity like wires in your house.
 Power outages have many sources but
dehydration – lacking minerals & water –
hinders proper electrical flow.
The Body’s Power Supply:
Electrolytes. But, What Are They?
Advertisers have told you that you need them, but do you know scientifically what they are?
Who supplies the power
to your home?
 Power only flows through your house
when supplied by your electric
supplier
 Before it is supplied, power must be
GENERATED & CONDUCTED
 Various fuels combine to make a
chemical REACTION
 This reaction gives off ENERGY
 Energy is then converted to
ELECTRICITY and CONDUCTED via
channels to FLOW along wires which
carry power to you
Mineral “Electrolytes”
are your Power Plant
 Similar to a power plant reaction,
mineral compounds break down in
bodily fluids
 Called “electrolytes” these minerals
separate and become able to
generate electric currents
 These are sodium, potassium,
magnesium, calcium and others
 This process is a major force in
controlling body fluid balance
 So, proper hydration is more than
“drinking plenty of fluids”
Electrolytes Defined… FINALLY!
 Electrolytes: Physiology – any of certain inorganic [not containing
carbon] compounds, mainly sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium,
chloride, and bicarbonate, that dissociate [separate] in biological fluids
into ions [electrically-charged particles] capable of conducting electrical
currents and constituting a major force in controlling fluid balance within
the body.
Source: dictionary.com
Not so technically
speaking, electrolytes…
 Are compounds containing minerals such
as sodium, calcium, potassium,
magnesium, etc. which…
 Separate in bodily fluids, then…
 Become electrically charged, then…
 Can conduct current and…
 Are a major force in fluid level control
 Are not just a marketing campaign for
sports drinks – they are VITAL!
True or False?
Drinking Beverages With
Electrolytes Keeps You
Hydrated.
Most people who ask this question are speaking
of the best-marketed sports drinks they see their
favorite athletes drinking.
Most often such drinks are loaded with other
things that can actually dehydrate you.
The answer is to get informed on the subject of
Proper Hydration.
True or False?
Drinking Beverages
With Electrolytes Keeps
You Hydrated.
Is Your Environment
Secretly Dehydrating You?
Is living or working in a “climate controlled” environment enough to avoid dehydration?
It doesn’t have to be
desert-hot climate to
cause dehydration
The difference is not the weather outside.
Someone could dehydrate in freezing
weather. It is factors within the body that
are key.
The environment itself can fool you into
thinking you are hydrated and so classify
any symptoms you may experience as
something else.
Indoor dehydration can
be more serious than
outdoor
Your air conditioner can give you a false sense
of security when it comes to being properly
hydrated.
Feeling cool in the air-conditioned spaces you
visit can make you feel like all is ok.
Air conditioning, however, also removes
moisture from the environment and the
foremost source of it may be YOU!
Keeping cool includes attention to
environment AND the body.
Air conditioning is so NOT Cool…
 Air conditioning ironically can be a major culprit in dehydration, found
nearly everywhere: your car, schools, hotels, airports, etc.
 Anything that extracts moisture (humidity) from the environment
unfortunately does not discriminate between moisture sources.
 Bodies, being predominantly water, are a prime target.
 You may feel cooled off but at what expense? Air Conditioning can be
useful, but do not assume it is an end-all solution to the heat.
An Air Conditioning
Experiment. Try It
Yourself At Home!
Hang a wet towel in an air-conditioned
room. Check it periodically. A short time
later, it will be bone-dry, moisture having
been sucked out of it.
Water levels in plants and fish bowls also
will keep dropping due to evaporation,
sped up by air-conditioning or heating.
When it runs hot and
cold on you…
 Heat and Cold: Of course, it is obvious
that heat will cause dehydration but the
cold can also cause it.
 The reason for this may or may not be
obvious but in colder parts of the world,
we generally run heaters, make fires and
use central heating which in turn can
dehydrate as well.
 Dehydration tends to be associated with
hot climates or the body getting
overheated, so cold tends to give a false
sense of security.
An Observation About
Moving Between
Climates
- Desiree Lotz, creator of Instant
CalMag-C mineral supplement
“In helping many sufferers find
nutritional resources, I have
witnessed all manner of
dehydration symptoms.
“It can be common especially
with such drastic change as
moving to a hot, humid climate
from a milder one. Symptoms
abound.
“I have often seen this affect
metabolism, comfort, sleep,
energy, all kinds of things. ”
How Can Proper Hydration
Be Achieved?
What are the factors of proper hydration that keep the body working?
Hydration requires
water and salt
 In order for your body to get hydrated,
it needs both water and salt. That’s
right – salt!
 Salt is so vital that you would die
without it. This is not referring to the
white refined salt you get in the
supermarket which is merely sodium
chloride, containing only 2 of the
numerous minerals actually required
for proper hydration.
Salt: It’s in your blood!
 If you’ve tasted a drop of your blood or
sweat, you may have noticed that they are
salty. Tears are salty too
 The chemical structures of blood and sea
water are very similar. Laboratory
comparison of sea water and blood would
show up many similarities
 Severe dehydration cases in hospitals are
put on a saline (salt water) drip. It can be a
matter of life and death
 Salt-depletion symptoms can range from
slight tiredness or headaches to much
more life-threatening ones
What Does Real
Salt Consist of?
What Does Real
Salt Consist of?
Real (unrefined) salt contains dozens of
minerals or electrolytes – 60 or more. It
even contains potassium.
A History of Salt
 History of salt: The word 'salary' derives from the Latin word salārium,
possibly referring to money given to soldiers so they could buy salt.
 In earlier times, people traveled vast distances to get to sea ports to get
salt. You couldn’t live without it then nor could you now.
 Unfortunately, refining of elemental products such as salt in modern-day
processes has created unexplained deficiencies, making certain health
symptoms mysterious and chronic.
Proper supply of
unrefined sea salt
 The best way to get salt is by taking
unrefined sea salt, such as Real, Himalayan
or Celtic, whenever you drink water.
 You can either add just enough to your
drinking water so it tastes pleasant or take a
pinch of it each time you drink water or add
it to your food. Be aware and make sure you
get it daily.
 NOTE: Real salt will not cause high blood
pressure. Only refined salt does.
True or False?
If you’re not thirsty
you’re definitely
not dehydrated
True or False?
If you’re not thirsty
you’re definitely
not dehydrated
FALSE! Dehydration can have many
manifestations, thirst not always being a
symptom.
Be on the lookout for ALL symptoms.
Remember: Water is
NOT the sole solution
 Drinking water may actually worsen
the dehydration problem UNLESS
you’re also replenishing your minerals
(like real sea salt).
 The more water you drink, the more
you sweat or urinate, the worse the
condition gets due to mineral loss via
sweat or urine.
 Dehydration is a condition due to lack
of water and salt.
Suggested Measures Against Dehydration
 Drink water and take real Celtic or Himalayan sea salt with it.
 Do not take dehydration lightly. IF YOU BECOME DEHYDRATED, CONSULT A DOCTOR!
 Do NOT drink excessive amounts of water without also taking correct amounts of salt or another
good source of minerals in their natural state. You need both water and salt.
 You may find proper salt in the bulk section of your health food store. It is not very costly.
 Do NOT use refined table salt (sodium chloride), known to cause high blood pressure.
 Remember: Though salt is essential, ALL minerals must be in balance.
 In addition to the salt and water, Instant Calmag-C is recommended, calcium being the most
abundant mineral in the body with magnesium not far behind.* Calcium and Magnesium are two
of the top 4 electrolyte minerals.
*This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. No medical claims are made and Instant CalMag-C is not intended to
diagnose, treat or cure any disease.

  • 23. Air conditioning is so NOT Cool…  Air conditioning ironically can be a major culprit in dehydration, found nearly everywhere: your car, schools, hotels, airports, etc.  Anything that extracts moisture (humidity) from the environment unfortunately does not discriminate between moisture sources.  Bodies, being predominantly water, are a prime target.  You may feel cooled off but at what expense? Air Conditioning can be useful, but do not assume it is an end-all solution to the heat.
  • 24. An Air Conditioning Experiment. Try It Yourself At Home! Hang a wet towel in an air-conditioned room. Check it periodically. A short time later, it will be bone-dry, moisture having been sucked out of it. Water levels in plants and fish bowls also will keep dropping due to evaporation, sped up by air-conditioning or heating.
