What happened to drinking a big glass of water ?

[bp1000]

Next you should try a coffee enema

Report back after you've tried it and compare it to the IV

Tune in next week, you’ll love the accompanied GMT photo spread LOL

Water? That’s so passé! XD

Why is it Passé ? Because it is sensible, easy to do and very low cost to drink water lol...

IV hydration therapy is not new. At least now around here. They have hangover cures, vitamin infusions and plain hydration therapy. I have friends who own IV Hydration businesses. Never tried it though

Drink more water ... that cures a lot of what ails you

Please report back the results. NAD occurs naturally in our cells. You're supplementing what you had more of when you were younger.

Large Coke & Carniasada Burrito will do the trick!

No way I would ever get an IV unless there is a legitimate medical reason.

The California cure Los Angeles edition.

Large Coke (Mexican made with sugar) and Carnitas tacos. Don't know why it works... But it does.

Behold! The Miracle of caffeine, sugar and fried pork!

To be fair, people also have their heads cut off and frozen when they die, so yeah. Whatever floats your boat.

I think so. Allegedly.

Yes. It’s called Cryogenics. You can preserve your head (and other favourite body part(s)!) so that in the future you can be potentially be bought back to life.

Use a large enough gauge hose and 2:1 gas/oil is good enough to be your antiseptic for the sterile field.

Getting an IV of fluids is not at all insane. Military does it all The time to treat dehydration (usually from a lack of fluids and excessive sweating etc). You can’t always replenish your fluids fast enough. This is just doing so somewhat preemptively.... unless you’re hung over in which case it will rehydrate you faster. You can only drink so much water in a certain time, and your body will only absorb so much.

In this thread we see who has never served and didn't know that a Combat Lifesaver Class could qualify one to administer an IV. Medics would usually give each other IVs before a Monday morning run after a long weekend if drinking hard. As long as the IV site is clean and you don't put an air embolism in the blood stream it's all good.

Military did a study once on soldiers coming out of field, 1/2 got IV fluids other 1/2 got PO. First one to urinate was the PO group.

Interesting but is first to uninate mean they are rehydrated. The body is very complex on how it handles what we ingest and what hormones and other goodies are released. And a full bladder may not mean much.

And on the other hand, does an IV actually circumvent our bodies natural systems for recovery since it may be a lot more complex that just adding in fluid.

Is this a joke? Hope you trust whatever is going in your veins

[Chadridv]

I don’t know what exactly is in this bag, but I know a lot of people that do this. It’s an expensive habit, but makes a huge difference if you burn the candle at both ends.

All of the expat wives used to do this on a Monday morning, after a heavy weekend of partying, in the town I'm living in, here in Korea. It apparently works wonders. I believe they referred to it as The Cinderella Treatment. (Or at least it was something along those lines).
Unfortunately, none of us guys haven't had a chance to try it, having to be in work on Monday, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, earning the coin, so that they can do it all again the following weekend.

I wonder if they are the same ladies who got the fake implants they now wish they never did due to all the serious health issues years later. But at least their Rolexes are real. Or are they?

Seems like a similar nonsense fad to this:



Or this (good candidate for a "Is it Safe?" thread...)
