Inspiration saves the day...

Since Kiribati is only two degrees from the equator, it gets hot there. Often when working outside doing manual labor, my dad would sometimes start to get dehydrated. He did a lot of that when buiding the house, or other buildings, digging trenches for the electrical lines, and other projects. One day he could tell he was getting really dehydrated, and wasn't sure what to do, since he needed to keep working, and he knew that getting a drink would be a solution but it wouldn't be quick. He was experiencing the symptoms of mild dehydration: light headedness, dry mouth, listlessness, fatigue, perhaps even slight dizziness.

He began to think about what he wished he could eat or drink just then, and the thought came to him: Summer Pickles! Mmmmm. Those are fresh sliced cucumbers, put in a salt & vinegar brine solution, and served at the table fresh. Mmmmm! He knew he couldn't get cucumbers where we were, but wait - he could make some salt & vinegar water, and that sounded especially good just now. So, since he needed a drink anyway, he went in and fixed just that.

What happened next was quite the miracle. He drank that "Vinegar-Salt-Water" and instantly his symptoms vanished. There was no waiting period, lay down take a 20 minute nap kind of recuperate. It was amazing. He was able to go right back to work.

Some time later Dad had an opportunity to ask a medical professional about it, and he thought about it for some time, and agreed that Dad had discovered a natural electrolyte balancing drink! He still to this day attributes his idea to inspiration from the Lord.

Since then, all of us have used that natural ph balancing drink from time to time. I have experienced myself that INSTANT relief. It's awesome.
