Thanks for the excellent question, Pam. I see so many clients who drink water all day long but are still severely under-hydrated when I check their body composition. And you’re right that not just drinking, but getting water into the cells is a very important measure of health. If water is not getting in to the cells, there is a great likelihood that other nutrients aren’t, either. It can even be an indication of insulin resistance.

I use M Water and BioPure’s Electrolyte products to help get water into the cells, and usually see a difference in hydration within a couple of weeks. For more information on these products, or to purchase them, please contact me.

Which two products do you recommend to add to water? I drink two liters of water a day and I would like to help get it into my cells more effectively. Thanks!

Thanks Christina! Make sure you get xylitol from birch, rather than corn husks. It makes a really big difference. As for the blood pressure spikes, I could speculate on possibilities, but I’m successful at what I do because I don’t do that: I take a thorough history and work with the individual circumstances. We’re a very complex system. Designed for healing, but each of us uniquely.

This is an awesome article! My mom loves diet soda and I’ve been trying to get her to drink different things for years. She hates water. I’m going to buy her xylitol and see if she likes that.

By the way, do you have any idea what would make a 53 year old woman have sporadic blood pressure spikes? She’s been tested for everything, from her heart to her kidneys, and they can’t find anything wrong with her. But her blood pressure will go from 110/80 to 140/110 out of no where. She has a hard time taking blood pressure medication, because when her blood pressure is normal, the medication drops it too low and she gets dizzy.

Thanks =)

So that explains why, when I made lemonade with stevia, it had a funky, bitter aftertaste–it’s not a pure stevia that I used. Yesterday i made it w/ xylitol and it was delicious.
