I stumbled across using water a couple of years ago. When in a real bad attack I mix up a big jug of warm water and a quarter teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and drink till it comes out of my ears. Often this is the only way i know to break out of a kip 9 or 10+
But, why does water work? A lot of us are now using water, indeed i'm now using the 8 ounce per half hour for low number Kip pain and it does work sometimes. There's got to be some mechanism behind this water, but i'm no scientist. Anyone any ideas?
