Advanced Wellness Medical ReHydration Program

Rehydration, is the process of restoring lost water (after dehydration) to the body and to bodily tissues. Rehydration is essential whenever dehydration occurs no matter the cause. As our environmental temperature (indoors and out of doors) are rising more and more people are experiencing dehydration. While there may be other causes such as diarrhea, lack of drinking water or other fluids, or even medication use, rehydration may be essential for preventing harm to the individuals, his or her body and to their ability to think and act clearly. Rehydration can be accomplished by the oral route or by the intravenous administration of fluids. IV fluids maybe necessary when dehydration is severe or negative side effects are already occurring.

Advanced Wellness Medical and Doctor-Ozone Have Joined Together To ReHydrate America – Heat Wave IV ReHydration

With the temperature going up and the future of heat waves looking strong Advanced Wellness Medical® and Doctor-Ozone® are joining together to ReHydrate men, women and seniors who are: 1) Not able to get sufficient fluids to stay hydrated, and 2) Already experiencing signs and/or symptoms of dehydration: Fatigue, Exhausted Thirst, and Vitamins, Minerals Essential Nutrient Depletion.

IV drips, (placing a sterile intravenous tube into an easy to access vein and allowing sterile nutrient infused fluids to directly flow into an individual’s body) can help restore healthy levels of hydration more quickly, safely and efficiently, than taking the same fluids by mouth. Maintaining hydration has many major health benefits everyone, especially for seniors. If you, your mom and/or dad, are dehydrated, feeling fatigued, exhausted, thirsty, mentally and/or emotionally unclear, unable to drink, unable to drink enough, or are having other dehydration problems or symptoms (listed below) than IV ReHydration is now immediately available to you either in your home, at your office, or in our offices.

ReHydration: If you are busy, in or out of your home in the extreme heat we are experience it will not take long for dehydration to set in. It will soon be likely that you can’t drink enough water or fluids to get a head of it, when this happens you will already be feeling a significant degree of exhaustion, weakness, dry mouth, dry eyes, dry skin and very likely some degree of being out of sorts with what you are doing and accomplishing your desired results. If you experience these signs and symptoms, you are likely dehydrated and need immediate hydration. If you are already feeling these signs and symptoms (others below) you are already in trouble you should consider immediate ReHydration BEFORE you reach a state of extreme harm caused by dehydration. People do die of dehydration. It is a leading cause of death during hot weather.

Rehydrate Mom or Dad: A major problem for many American Seniors is that they are often dehydrated. Lack of activity, drinking high sugar sodas, eating salty foods, snacking and eating poorly can lave many seniors with a host of uncomfortable, negative, dangerous and problematic signs, symptoms and medical problems, feeling energy depleted, tired, exhausted and this can have serious medical problems.

Rehydrate Children: Dehydration is a leading cause of death in children during extreme heat. If your child appears to be dehydrated (see signs and symptoms below) call your Pediatrician. Your child may need the emergency room or hospitalization, IV fluids and observation. Children are much less resilient to dehydration than adults.

The Dangers of Dehydration In Elderly Men and/or Women

• Dehydration can cause a serious decline in total body fluids at any age, but the negative effects of dehydration are almost always worse in seniors and the elderly. As we age, the amount of fluid in our body begins to decrease steadily. This means persons over 50 years of age have a much lower water reserve available to maintain hydration. They get dehydrated sooner. They suffer more dangerous negative results and big problems occur sooner.
• With age many individuals have a reduced thirst response. They may not feel thirsty until they suffer from advanced dehydration. They dehydrate sooner. Older persons may not even know that they are in trouble or that they may need to increase their fluid intake. They unknowingly dehydrate.
• Dehydration often causes impairment of kidney function. Normally, optimal kidney function already decreases with age. This means that more water may be lost through urination and tis can lead earlier to dehydration.
• Many chronic diseases, illnesses, health conditions and medications can increase the risk of dehydration or worsen dehydration and lead to medical complications. Many older adults have underlying health conditions or use medications which increase their risk of dehydration. In this situation their medical conditions or meds, can lead to significant water loss through urination, reduced thirst sensation, confusion or impaired cognition.
• In the current heat wave, heat exposure is of significant increased risk. Spending time in hot or humid conditions, no or poor air conditioning, in and out of the house, your car or various businesses can lead to significant fluid loss through sweating and hence dehydration.
• Dehydration often causes weakness, confusion, loss of mobility resulting in long periods of sitting or staying in bed, which then can lead blood clots, heart attack and/or stroke.
• Pre-existing illness and medications used to treat these illnesses, can increase your risk of dehydration. Diuretics given for high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, non-celiac gluten sensitivity increase the risk of dehydration. Illnesses with symptoms like fever, vomiting, or diarrhea can lead to dehydration.
• Mobility problems. Individuals with limited or poor mobility may be unable to get water on their own. Being confused, disoriented increases an individual’s risk of falling and injuring themselves becoming dehydrated and ending up in a hospital emergency room.
