| Close Encounters wih the Gookinaid Sports Drinks Users "Your product IS AMAZING!!! I am also a "Survivor" of the Grand Canyon! The first time my husband & I hiked the canyon two years ago, I couldn't even THINK about getting up the next morning to hike up! I couldn't hardly move! We had to change our plans and stayed another night at Phantom Ranch. Thank goodness your product was in our sack lunches we got at the canteen! We drank it the day we hiked out. I was still VERY sore for a long time. However, a couple of weeks ago we hiked the canyon again. But this time I was prepared! I drank hydralyte the day before and everyday till we hiked out! This time I had NO leg cramps OR sore muscles! I am placing my order for the kilo canisters and am introducing it to friends and family! Thanks GOOKINAID!!!"

"Gookinaid Sports Drink provided a most dramatic and welcome relief from my leg and foot muscle cramps. After experiencing these painful cramps sometimes during the day and always during the night, every night for over six months, and less often - but still too often - over the previous three years; I researched muscle cramps on the internet. A possible cause - an electrolyte deficiency - hit home. During this time when my leg and foot muscles had been cramping, I had not been drinking as much Gookinaid as I had in the past. We always have some on hand, though, and I drank a big glassful right away. That night I had no muscle cramps! My leg muscles felt more relaxed than they had in a long time, and the soreness caused by the cramping disappeared. That was five months ago, and since then I've been drinking at least 24 oz. of Gookinaid a day. I start with a glassful first thing in the morning. Except for one mild leg muscle cramp after an especially hot day, I have not experienced muscle cramps. And I'm telling everyone I know about Gookinaid! Ever since we started buying it over 20 years ago, I've appreciated the benefits of drinking Gookinaid Sports Drink while bicycling, running, hiking, . or just working hard outdoors. But I've never appreciated it as much as I do now that I know what happens when I don't drink enough of it."
Thank you for Gookinaid!

"My son has always had a problem with severe dehydration, especially during two-a-day football practice during the heat of the day. He can break a sweat just thinking about football. I was at my wits end how to prevent this before it would happen. I did much research on the web one night and came across your website. I thought that this stuff was too good to be true, but what did I have to lose. I ordered GOOKINAID (just one can) to see if the product would work for my son, as nothing else has helped in the past. My son started drinking GOOKINAID two weeks before practice started and he did not dehydrate like he always did. I was totally impressed.! Finally, a product that did what is said it would do. Now I order GOOKINAID by the case. Whenever I overhear someone talk about the problem that their kids are having with dehydration, I always butt-in and tell them about your product. Thank you for this product. Gookinaid has definitly saved me money, whether it be on hospital/doctor bills or tons of Pedialyte."

"Dear Friends,
I'm at work and must be brief. Gookinaid saved my *ss up and down the Grand Canyon, over and over. Now, I am writing to let you know that you are UNDER-REPRESENTED in Illinois! Mom has been in and out of the hospital for twelve weeks, needs electrolyte solutions, and was going to be introduced to yours but I just don't have the time to drive all the way to REI in Oak Brook. GET IN Sports Authority, please, and do us all a favor! I hope REI doesn't have exclusive rights, because they're GREAT but INCONVENIENT!"
Thanks,

Evin, Mr. Gookin and everyone else: It's been more than twenty-five years since I've seen or tasted Gookinaid and I've missed it terribly. Formerly known by me as Gookinaid E.R.G. during my serious cycling years in Dayton, Ohio in the mid to late 70's, this excellent elixer was prominently displayed on the shelf at the bicycle shop where I turned wrenches and wheels and gears all day long. I probably drank more of the stuff than water considering all the riding I did. Whether it was my during the 7 mile trip to the shop from my off campus house or on one of the great 150 mile days around southwestern Ohio, the Gookinaid was always in my water bottle with an extra pack or two in my jersey pocket next to the bananas and bagels. I eventually left Dayton and returned to my home in Pittsburgh frequently lamenting the loss of my favorite drink which no one back home had ever heard of. And then, during this year's family vacation, I found the long lost juice of my youth at the trading post located at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on June 30, 2006. (Yep, it's that memorable a day!). There it was, in all its Gookin' glory, just as I remembered it. Sure, the E.R.G. denomination was gone, but the same great product was still there. Of course, my boys, 15 and 12, were rolling their eyes and moaning at Dad's rantings about, "This is the greatest stuff in the world! It'll be perfect for your soccer practices and games and your lacrosse practices and games! It's great for cycling! It tastes really good and immediately quenches your thirst! It's not sickeningly sweet like the "sports drinks"! It's been around as long as I have!!!!! Yeah, they knew Overly-Excited Dad was at his ranting best again. And then they tried it.... and liked it..... and wanted more. "Nuf said. Still "Overly-Excited Dad but with a bit more credibility. I'm placing my order tomorrow and wondering tonight why there isn't someone selling it in Pittsburgh? We have lots of great bike shops and some pretty serious cyclists that cavort about the hills and ridges of our fair city. Thanks for keeping the faith while I've been away. It will be nice to have your outstanding product, and the fuel for so many of my early adventures, back in the water bottle." Tom Dempsey, Jr.

"My 96 year old mother has a glass of hydralyte every day and she no longer has any leg cramps. My friend who exercises strenuously finds drinking hydralyte is very beneficial. I myself have a tendency to get dehydrated and so I take it often in the summer or when I exercise. Another friend has stomach problems and feels that hydralyte helps her to keep a certain balance of energy. So thanks a million!!"

"I live in Pahrump Nevada and work outdoors. The average temperture during the summer is 112* but it is not uncommon for the temp to reach the 120s at times. I used to drink the other sports drinks until my neighbor gave me a cannister of the Hydralyte. The other sports drinks would leave me feeling fatigued in the mid day heat but the Hydralyte kept me feeling refreshed and alert. I no longer use the other drinks, even though I have to order the Hydralyte Sports Drink and have it shipped to me as the nearest store that carries it is over 65 miles away. I work on a road crew so staying alert is a must. Thank you for a product the keeps me hydrated and safe."

"Everyone should know what a terrific product Gookinaid Hydralyte Sports Drink is. As a member of the Fort Laramie Volunteer Fire Department in Fort Laramie, Wyoming, I am a Volunteer Firefighter and EMT. While on fire scenes and medical scenes, Firefighters and EMT’s tend to get very dehydrated. We drink a lot of water, but after so long, water just doesn’t do anything except get us “waterlogged.” After trying Gookinaid Sports Drink, we were amazed! It’s almost like getting another shot of adrenaline! We’re revitalized almost immediately and are ready to go again. Gookinaid Hydralyte Sports Drink should be a staple in every Emergency Services Unit. Keep up the great work, and thanks from our Volunteer Members."

"Turn the hands of time back to 1975 and go to Boulder Colorado. I was playing racket ball 3 times a week at the YMCA in Boulder 1 hour each session. Thirsty?? I was 225 lbs and very agile for a guy my size - one problem, moving that much body quickly around the court generated a lot of sweat, there were times I could wring out my shirt and get nearly a full cup of sweat. Drinking water was out of the question, Gator Aid was available but, far too sweet. I happened to drop into a sports shop in Boulder and there was this stuff, a powder, labeled Gookinaid ERG, so I read the label and decided to try it. I made a gallon and took a collapsable quart container into the court with me and left it in the back corner on the floor. During that game I made a point of gulping down the drink to see if I would get cramps from the fluid in my stomach. Try as I might, I never got ANY cramps from ERG. Bob Gookin is a chemical genius. I never got the chance to thank him for taking the time to study sweat. SO, Bob, Thank you so very much, the study was worth it, sir. The world is a better place because of your use of chemistry."

"Hello, Last year my husband and I hiked the Grand Canyon. We went all the way to the bottom and camped. We have done it before, my husband always does great, but I have struggled in the past during the climb up, usaully the last 3 miles. This time we purchased your product at the market in the Grand Canyon. I could not belive how good I felt hiking down! No cramping, I never felt like I was fatiguing. The problem is that we only purchased enough for the hike down. To our surprise our bagged sack lunches that were preordered at Phantom Ranch contained the Fruit Punch packets of GOOKINAID. 2 days later we set off for the climb up. I had my resevoir filled with the gookinaid. I felt strong the entire climb up! Those last 3 miles, yes they were hard, but I tell you, I never skipped a beat! I even set the pace for a while! The great thing is, from my past expierences hiking the canyon, my recovery has taken time. I would be sore for days! REALLY sore! I did not feel that this time. I really love your product, I have my mom drinking it and my brother."
Thanks GOOKINAID!

I found that when I drank water during competitions that I could never compete at my best. I was always a little slow and imprecise. When I started drinking Gookinaid I found that my reactions where faster, my point more precise, and I felt like I had a great deal more energy. In my first Word Cup Victory I was in Puerto Rico during the summer. Outside it was 96 degrees plus and inside much hotter. The gym we competed in did not have any air conditioning. I kept drinking Gookinaid (about 1 liter every hour) and eating light food. At the end of the day everyone else fenced like they had run out of gas. While I was tired Gookinaid gave me the energy to come back from a 12-8 deficit to win 15-14. If I had only been drinking water or other sports drinks I could never have made the comeback to win. To train for the 2004 Olympics my team went to the southern California desert to train. I tried just drinking water or other sports drinks but I never felt hydrated. When I used Gookinaid, I could complete all the activities with renewed vigor. I never felt hydrated in the desert until I used Gookinaid. The best thing about Gookinaid is that it helps me weather I am competing, training, resting or traveling. Fencing requires long plane flights to Europe, Middle East, or South America . Drinking Gookinaid on the flight ensured that I felt more rested when I arrived and adjusted more quickly to the time difference. The pleasant taste ensures that I keep drinking and that I stay hydrated regardless of where I am.

Recently, I had abdominal surgery for an abdominal obstruction. Last week, when I attempted to eat solid food I developed severe nausea and vomited over 20 times during the course of a night. As a result, I became severely dehydrated and the doctor wanted to put me back in the hospital. My boyfriend had heard of Gookinaid and recommended that I try it. I have been drinking Gookinaid for several days now and feel like myself again. I can truly say that Gookinaid spared me from another hospitalization. Thanks so much!

I have been rescued and literally brought back to life numerous times thanks to Gookinaid. I was diagnosed with Addison's disease four years ago and Im anemic. Before this diagnosis I was told I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My exhausted adrenal glands were causing my severe fatigue. If I get an infection or the flu this really throws off my electrolytes. I hope to help others discover the benefits of Gookinaid . In Canada as well as the USA it appears to be very difficult to diagnose Addison's disease. Doctors don't seem to check your adrenal glands. Big thanks to Dr. Carol Ann Ryser in Kansas City , Missouri at the Health Centers of America who strongly recommended your product and has treated me very well. I was truly blessed. I was wondering if you will be introducing a Gookinaid product for those who have sugar sensitivities? I would love to see a Gookinaid product with no sugar as I am cursed with yeast infections and can have little to no sugar in my daily diet. I only wish I could buy your product in Canada . I live in Calgary , Alberta , Canada and have yet to see your product anywhere. Thanks for such a wonderful product! Sandy Down
