Aha, this is the guy who figured out how rehydration (ORT) could save a lot of people from dying from many different things.
Thanks Professor Cash! (RIP).
He figured out sugar/salt solution -- which is the standard mix more or less for oral rehydration solution both medically and in sports drinks/electrolytes now -- could save a lot of people from such diseases as cholera. (not to mention heat illnesses, influenza, any long list of conditions where you get dehydrated as a result of that illness... even at the beginning, the only treatment for Ebola--basically keeping you hydrated so you don't die).
