I was taught years ago, by a Naturopath to use this method to stay hydrated: drink 1/2 cup of water (4 oz) every half hour to create a steady supply, rather than large doses- while trying to make up for dehydration. (I have not always done as taught, of course) but this makes sense, rather than a flood that increases urination. I am battling the sciatica and herniated discs as well. I checked out http://GaryNull.com where I put sciatica and herniated disc in the search box, and it was mentione that salty is essential as well as water, to alkanilize the cells. I am now mixing msm, sea salt, and c to put in capsules and take 2 with the water. Will report back soon. I will try to add gelatin too.
