Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti. Like the rest of the world, we are using our resources to do whatever we can to help
The devastation is incomprehensible, but we do know that drinking water is extremely limited. Coconut water is far more effective in relieving symptoms associated with dehydration than plain water. Its unique chemical composition can rehydrate the body naturally, giving the strength and energy it needs. We encourage others to do what they can to assist survivors.

Control of communicable diseases, such as diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections, will be another major concern in coming days. According to Dr. Bruce Fife, coconut water is currently being used around the world to save lives and consumption of coconut water increases the survival rate of cholera victims by as much as 97 percent.*
