What are Rennies and where can you buy them? L

Rennies and Tri-salts I suspect the electrolytes could be important. Anyway, today DH is not doing so well, and I made him a drink to hopefully stave off progress to full blown migraine. With recent correspondence in mind, I added some ACV and honey. He's had no improvement, and I have given him another dose of bicarbonate of soda. It has all reminded me of something else . . . An old lady told me about 35 years ago that her daughter took Rennies whenever a migraine threatened, and it was fixed forthwith. I didn't do anything much with that information until some 15 years ago when we were miles away from home (on the seafront at Seascale) and DH was threatened with a migraine bad enough to have us stranded there. Four of us in a small car, with nothing in the car but a tube of Rennies. I remembered the old lady and her daughter, and DH took a Rennies, how many I don't recall. Much to my astonishment only a short while later - a ridiculously short time later - he said he was better. We continued our tour as if nothing had happened. Well, nothing had. DH just told me that last time we visited the UK he spent his loose change on as many packs of Rennies as he could, and he used to take those whenever required as long as the packs lasted. I just checked the ingredients of Rennies - Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Carbonate. Calcium carbonate 680mg Magnesium carbonate - heavy 80mg Contains sucrose Contains saccharin sodium (Pity about that). I also checked the recipe for the Tri-Salts I mentioned earlier. I was told about this by a Professor of Microbiology who also saw patients with Chronic Fatigue and treated them with an oligoantigenic diet. He said that if he ate certain things he would start to get a headache, but the Tri-Salts cut that short. http://www.safesolutionsinc.com/cancer.htm says: Many people find that their body turns acidic during an allergic reaction or when they suffer from metabolic acidosis. You can help correct this condition by taking 1/2 teaspoon of dissolved baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) before bed each evening or as needed. Make sure that all the baking soda is disolved before drinking. Many people prefer a /Tri-Salts/ mixture to straight sodium bicarbonate to make the body become more alkaline. *_Recipe for /Tri-Salts/_* 2 Parts Potassium Bicarbonate 3 Parts Sodium Bicarbonate 1 Parts Calcium Carbonate Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together, (you may want to do this outside or wear a dust mask as it can make you sneeze a lot). Use one teaspoon of the above mixture to 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon powdered vitamin C in a third of a tumbler full of filtered water to alleviate allergic reactions such as headaches, nausea, chronic heartburn etc. The sooner you take the /Tri-Salts/ after a suspect food (i.e. heartburn), the better it works to lessen the symptoms. /Source Airedale Allergy Centre, Nr Keighley/. (or "Ecological Formulas" TriSalt formula: Calcium (carbonate) 450 mg Magnesium (carbonate) 250 mg Potassium (bicarbonate) 99 mg http://store.agoodvitamin.com/index.html) (I saw another recipe for equal parts Potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate, with a little citric acid for fizz. Sounds silly to me, especially called "Tri salts". However, whqlibdoc.who.int bulletin says oral rehydration salts with trisodium citrate dihydrate does not react as readily with glucose or sucrose as sodium bicarbonate, which forms brown polymers of 5-hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde when mixed as solids in polyethylene packets in tropical climates.) TRI-SALTS Why are Tri-Salts (Cell Salts) Essential? Minerals (such as Tri-Salts) are the foundation for enzyme activity in the body and serve as catalysts in energy cycles and functions, which is especially necessary when our body system is already weakened. Tri-Salts aid in the basic functioning of the cells, including water balance, digestion, toxin removal, cell elasticity, oxygenation, nutrition, mineral absorption, sodium/potassium balance, etc. Harmonyline Tri-Salts contain a perfectly combined ratio of elements that assist in the body absorption of water into the cells, which in turn creates electrolytes. Electrolytes are an essential component in the production of our body's energy resources. Other health benefits... All higher life forms require a subtle and complex electrolyte balance between the intracellular (taking place inside a cell) and extracellular milieu. In particular, the maintenance of precise osmotic gradients of electrolytes is important. Such gradients affect and regulate the hydration of the body, blood pH, and are critical for nerve and muscle function. Both muscle tissue and neurons are considered electric tissues of the body. Muscles and neurons are activated by electrolyte activity between the extracellular fluid or interstitial fluid, and intracellular fluid. Without sufficient levels of electrolytes, muscle weakness or severe muscle contractions may occur. With serious electrolyte disturbances, cardiac and neurological complications can occur. Electrolyte balance can be simply maintained by taking Harmonyline Tri-Salts. HarmonylineT Tri-Salts Ingredients Potassium Bicarbonate is used to regulate pH. Potassium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods and is necessary for many normal functions of your body, especially the beating of your heart. Bicarbonate ions are crucial for regulating blood pH. The most common salt of the bicarbonate ion is Sodium Bicarbonate and when exposed to acid the bicarbonates release carbon dioxide. The bicarbonate/carbonate ionic system act as a buffer in the blood and is a crucial component of the acid/base system of the body (maintain- ing homeostasis). This helps maintain the pH of the blood at a level needed for tissues and enzymes to work adequately. Sodium Bicarbonate also serves a use in the digestive system. It neutralizes the exceedingly acidic pH of the stomach after the stomach digests the food and can also be used to control bacteria, including bacterial infections. Magnesium Carbonate neutralizes or lowers stomach acid by raising the stomach's pH level. Reduced stomach acidity may result in an impaired ability to digest and absorb certain nutrients, such as iron and the B vitamins. Magnesium carbonate assists the normal functioning of cells, nerves, muscles, bones, and the heart. Magnesium carbonate also contains the ingredient alginic acid. Alginic acid forms a protective foam that sits on top of the stomach contents. This foam helps to prevent acid irritation to the esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach). Electrolytes (salts) are critical to maintaining the integrity of the body's cellular structure. Cells use a considerable amount of energy to maintain a proper pH environment. Whenever a deficiency of electrolytes occurs, cells start to lose their ion equilibrium, resulting in significant deterioration and damage. Even slightly acidic conditions cause tissues and organs to be- come inflamed, eventually leading to chronic disease. When inflammatory conditions are acute, immediate steps need to be taken to relieve the inflammation and its associated pain. Tri-Salts helps with: . High Acid/Phlegm . Exhaustion & Tiredness . SAD .

Reduces and impedes premature aging of the face reflex zones and other body areas I bought Tri-salts from the chemist once, and recall that it was pretty pricy. I told them the recipe, and I suppose they mixed it up. I see that the Harmonyline Trisalts comes in capsule form. Tri-salts are not the same ingredients as Tri-K, which comes with all sorts of warnings. Potassium acetate, bicarbonate, and citrate are salts of potassium. They are used together to prevent or to treat a potassium deficiency. R. > It's what I do for DH (bicarb). I also add some valerian, some > eyebright, and some feverfew.
