He, Justin, is 19 and is evening manager at Brookshires Grocery Store. He works hard and long hours. He doesn't like me telling him what he should do or take so now we have more serious problems. God does have a way of getting HIS point over! It's HIS GAME!

Most are my favorite subjects. My grandson is having a sweating problem and also blood sugar; he has been feeling extremely tired and sweats a lot. It would be nice to know his age and activity status. The sweat does not have to be salty. I discovered years ago I could sweat until it blurred my vision, and it was not salty. This concerned me and I did some study. The body can in fact conserve and hang on to the salt. But, it must be very healthy to do it. Later when I worked in the heat, sweated a lot, and the sweat was not salty, I knew it was going to be a good day indeed. Few people believe this, most have never experienced it, but I have. A couple of years ago he slightly had hypoglycemia. I know he needs to correct his eating habits for sure, but I don't know where to start. Start with blood electrolytes and minerals, until the diet can be corrected. Even they, supplements can be important. He came over last night and we gave him a glass full of CS. Also, was wondering what would cause a person to need potasium. Heck everyone needs it, Most do not get enough. Mineral imbalance exists. Do you know how much one needs per day ? 2500 to 4000 mg. Virtually no one gets enough. No particular reason except that I know it can be crucial when you are low of it. Yes, Indeed. The balance of potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium are all essential. He may have some serious problems that result in upsetting this balance. Until it is all figured out, 2 or 3 packs of Emergen'C per day can help greatly. He may need a blood analysis to see these levels in the blood. Watch the sodium. Many do not get enough. 2000 mg per day or more depending on activity, weather and sweat. Proper calcium metabolism effects thousands of things. Could be a thyroid problem or para thyroid which if vital to proper calcium metabolism. Wayne
