What you are describing sound slike moderate heat stroke.
If it was me I would drink lots of pure mineral water (vortexed optional)or distilled water reconstituted with minerals. Look for things in the diet like pop, coffee, refined Sugar etc. that cause dehydration and eliminate them. A high water content, fresh organic foods diet will also help a great deal.

Keep lots of water on hand and drink often. Another thing that can help are tri salts.

Also wear a hat and cool clothes.

For the cramping I would try some magnesium oil in a filtered water bath and let it soak in. Ancient minerals is a decent brand and there are more. They work much better than plain Epsom Salts .

Eat lighter in the summer months. My preference is organic living foods with lots of mineral rich choices such as dulse, barley grass, etc. Perhaps a good nutrient dense super food.

I.C. gave you some excellent ideas...

And while I agree that magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) does work in some cases better than Epsom salt, I believe that I am chloride sensitive - when I use a mag\chloride it takes me a few days to recover... I feel even more run down. Halogens, such as chloride, fluoride, and bromide (iodine too - but they do not use this halogen much) act as delivery agents for whatever they tend to be bound to... that is why they are used in pharmaceuticals.

Mag oil may work great for you though given the circumstances and heat related issues. Just pay attention if you go that route.

Switchel is a drink that has been around since ancient Sumeria... it is made a number of ways and was used to prevent the very thing you are describing...

It was generally made with a naturally, raw vinegar, or lemon (lime, orange, grapefruit can work in a pinch too) juice, and a raw, whole natural sweetener such as honey, molasses, or maple syrup.

Find what he may like taste wise best - I like lemon or lime and honey - a honey lemon\limeade with a bit of mint.

He could take it to work and sip on it all day...

If you feel that more electrolytes are needed, a bit of whole, unrefined salt can be added... not too much - you do not even have to taste the salt for it to be effective.

Obviously some of the ingredients listed would be more mineral rich than others, and thus more efficacious, however, it is better to find something you like the taste of and will drink IMO.

As IC stated, if you drink distilled and/or R/O water, you should really try to restructure it in some way.

The switchel will do this.

"THANKS" for your post!

Psalm 103:1-5.

tell him to drink more water. you didn't mention water. he needs to eat lighter foods, not too much meat. wear light clothes, take vitamins, and maybe take protein drinks. go to the doc and have electrolyte panel done, and ask the doc what he thinks he should do.
