Facts on Hyponatremia WATER INTOXICATION
For years, heath care and fitness professionals have stressed the importance of fluid intake and replacement in preventing dehydration. Therefore, most health conscience individuals are educated about dehydration and cases of dehydration have decreased in recent years. Yet, in some cases, people may take dehydration prevention a bit too far and unintentionally drink too much water. Drinking an excessive surplus of water can lead to over-hydration or hyponatremia. Although hyponatremia is rare and seen primarily in serious endurance athletes, such as marathon runners, it can be dangerous and fitness enthusiasts should be aware of the condition.
The MedTerms.com medical dictionary defines hyponatremia as an abnormally low concentration of sodium in the blood. Hyponatremia is also known as �water intoxication.� Sodium (salt and chloride) is an electrolyte, which helps the body distribute water. This is essential for water balance and for your muscles and organs to function effectively. Electrolytes are lost through sweat. When exercising, our body temperature rises and we sweat to keep cool. The more we sweat, the more sodium lost. Sweat loss varies from as little as 16 ounces to over three quarts during each hour of exercise (Gatorade Sports and Science Institute). For this reason, it is important to replace lost body fluids during and after exercise. To completely replace these fluids, you must not only replace water, but also sodium and chloride. Those who consume excessive amounts of water after exercise can further deplete sodium and chloride levels, leading to electrolyte depletion and possibly over-hydration.
Symptoms of Hyponatremia
The symptoms of hyponatremia are very similar to the symptoms of heat illness. Both illnesses can be life threatening, therefore, if you or someone you know is experiencing the symptoms below, it is extremely important to seek medical attention immediately. The most common symptoms are:
Fatigue
Lightheadedness
Weakness
Cramping
Weight gain
Nausea
Bloating and/or swelling
Dizziness
Headache
Confusion
Fainting
Disorientation
Seizures (severe cases)
Coma (severe cases)
HEY FOLKS HOW STUPID CAN WE BE TO GET TO THE POINT THAT WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT WE ARE KILLING OURSELFS  I DIDNT LOVE ME THIS MUCH UNTIL I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE ,,,GOD BLESS

Re: WARNING,,, drinking to much water can kill ya,,,without the salt
Water of Life,
Water of Death
.
Growing up, we’ve all heard how good water is for us. We were told to leave the sodas and pops alone, and to drink at least 8 glasses of “high-quality H20” everyday. No matter what might be wrong with us, it was always good to drink plenty of water.
It was said that you could never go wrong with water. It makes up 60 percent of the human body, 70 percent of the human brain, 82 percent of the body’s blood, and nearly 90 percent of the lungs. After learning all of these facts, water does seem very vital to our lives.
It is very vital, but water can also be very deadly to us. I’m not taking about drowning in it. I’m saying that drinking too much water can harm you and eventually kill you.
Imagine that you’re at a marathon. The runners have been running very hard and very long. The crowd is excited as the runners near the finish line. Suddenly, number 89 collapses right after winning the race. Her coaches run up to her side and begin to give her water.
But, according to Reuters Health, the last thing athletes may need is water. These conclusions were made after an investigation on marathon runners who developed brain swelling as a result of “water intoxication.”
“Water intoxication” or hyponatremia occurs when there is little or no sodium in the blood stream. This usually happens because sodium is lost in sweat during high intensity exercises (such as marathons.) Elizabeth Quinn, “Sports Medicine” reporter for About.com, illustrates it this way: “Consider a full glass of salt-water. If you dump out half of the contents of the glass (as is lost in sweat), and replace that with water only, the sodium concentration of in the glass is far less and the water is more dilute. This often occurs in the bloodstream of an athlete who only hydrates with water during excessive sweating.” Add on extra endurance practices that take place in hot, humid conditions and you have the ideal conditions for hyponatremia to develop.
It’s really hard to distinguish symptoms of “water intoxication” from those of dehydration: muscle cramps, confusion, nausea, inappropriate behavior, slurred speech, and disorientation. This causes athletes to believe that they are dehydrated and so they begin to drink water, increasing the problem. The more water one drinks, the more likely seizures, coma, and even death are to occur.
Walter Dean Jennings’ fraternity brothers found this out the hard way. Jennings, who was a freshman at Plattsburgh State University, died on March 12, 2003, on the last day of a 10-day Psi Epsilon Chi pledging process. According to an article featured in New York’s “The Saratogian,” Jennings was forced by fraternity members to drink pitchers of water through a funnel. The initiation process was known as “water torture.”
And the torture continued well into the early morning. Not only did Jennings’ frat brother Michael West, force him to continue to drink more and more water (even though it was clear that he was ill), but he also forced him to eat mayonnaise. After Jennings passed out, his frat brothers rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead due to “water intoxication.” His death has resulted in hazing charges being brought against those members involved. The eleven members have been expelled, and as part of their sentencing, only one got jail time (a year), they are required to participate in a PBS documentary, “Unless a Death Occurs,” a film about hazing which is expected to be released in May.
So, how do you prevent “water intoxication” from occurring? Here are some tips from Elizabeth Quinn:
o Use sodium containing sports drinks during long distance, high intensity events.
o Eat salty foods before and during competition if possible.
o As there are no steadfast guidelines for everyone, it is important for an athlete to understand his or her individual fluid needs.
o Weigh yourself before and after training and drink enough sodium based sports drink to offset any fluid loss during exercise
o Increase salt intake by 10-25 grams per day several days prior to competition. The increased sodium concentration will allow additional hydration with water to remain balanced so that the dilution of blood sodium does not occur.
o Avoid use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents as they may increase the risk of hyponatremia in athletes.
+ As many triathletes are taking these medications, they need to be aware of their detrimental effect on performance. Additional, chronic use of these medications often mask the bodies own warning mechanisms that alert athletes to pain and injury. Athletes should be discouraged from excessive use of these medications.
o A general recommendation of approximately 1 gram of sodium per hour of high intensity exercise seems to hold true. Foods that provide additional sodium include chicken noodle soup, a dill pickle, cheese, pretzels, and tomato juice.
If you experience any symptoms like those of dehydration after a intense exercises or activities, it could be “water intoxication.” You should immediately drink a sports drink such as Gatorade or Powerade (which contain sodium.) If symptoms are extreme, a medical professional should be seen. Remember, that as with food, drink water in moderation

Nausea
Bloating and/or swelling
Dizziness
Headache
Confusion
Fainting
Disorientation
Seizures (severe cases)
Coma (severe cases)
I did a little experiment on my family,i notice that every time these jets would spray this stuff we would start getting sick and have the same symptom as low water and low sodium in our blood.
Fatigue
Lightheadedness
Weakness
Cramping
Weight gain
Nausea
Bloating and/or swelling
Dizziness
Headache
Confusion
Fainting
Disorientation
Seizures (severe cases)
Coma (severe cases)
one day i went to the hardware store and bought 3 rolls of duct tape and 4 bags of painters mask. I got on the roof of my house and i duct tape all the open vents and holes i all so taped the chimmney.when these jets came back to spray i put on my painters mask if i went on outside.in 6 days my sickness was gone and i felt better then i have in years.my wife and sons stayed sick.they ask me how did i get well,i told them try not to breath when on the outside.the did the same thing i did with the painter mask and we are healthy and aware of the invasion of our country and the deaths of millions of people that believed they had heart problems and such,don't believe it? WHO CARES your the one sick,,god bless.
