Silly to you, but applying the principles of the thread I lost 16,5lbs of excess fluids in a week without much effort in any particular direction.
Thats a load off my chest, my heart, as Morrowasted can attest. 2 gallons is a LOT of edema.

Let me tell you something about alcohol 
For your body to process alcohol, it attracts water, thus, makes you extra thirsty.
We know thois goes for gin, but alas beer too.
2%
If you drink alcohol your body will try to dilute it down to 2% in the process of eliminating it.
If you drink it, michelin man of edema. If you don't drink, you get more sick.
Given that American beer is usually 4% ABV every beer should be compensated with an equal size glass of water.
"But you can't get pissed properly off 2% ABV"
No, but you CAN piss properly that way.
You heard how I got rid of 2 gallons in a week a few posts up, you can use that to your advantage if you drank yourself bloated again.

Funny I stay the same weight regardless of what I eat or drink.
Also I think the definition of pump as it is used here is too liberal and I would require a medical professional to confirm any of this.

I agree with the whole body pump perspective.
It was in reference to some of the responses here but not how you've managed to manipulate the system into getting rid of that fluid. You probably saved your own life, especially if you have CHF.

You pump air, you pump shit, you pump pee, you pump blood, you pump lympathic fluid and other extracellulat fluids. The cells suck what they need, in, and blow their excesses, out. A neuron gets an input on one end and responds to that with an output on the other end.
All this could be seen as pumping actions.
Its a simplification but it is a valid one.
A tree is a big pump too. The leaves evaporate plant juice off their surfaces resulting in the roots sucking up more ground water. Sure there are electrolytes and metabolism involved but, its pumping. Transporting a fluid or gas from A to B through itself.
It omits the details of the process but still does it justice.
Our tissues transport stuff all the time and if you move something from A to B, you create a suction in A and overpressure in B keeping the pumps before and after it going.
Its useful to play with these concepts, I lost 16.5 lbs of excess fluids in a week, extreme results without taking any extreme actions, by tinkering with the principle.

I like salt too much to eat a low salt diet, even with days I dont eat at all I still take in ~3000mg sodium and potassium
my favourite healthy snack is salted cucumber, its high in potassium and water naturally and you can add the salt, probably better then gatorade

Still a gross generalization because those aren't "pumps" in the strictest sense of the word. Neurons aren't pumps either since the signals travel along them but they aren't forced along in the manner of a pump. Cells don't "suck in" either, that's not how they eat.
It's not movement through a suction either, calling muscles pumps is just flat out incorrect. As for the rest,again I would like to see a medical expert on that matter.
I also HIGHLY doubt the claim about fluid loss also.

Not just do you draw into question the theory part of it all, you cast doubt on the reporting of the outcomes of the measurements.
You disbelieve me.
Its not specifically what I say you just disbelieve me in general.
I hope you get to be my age Thanatos, cause you painted yourself in a corner with leaded paint and its not making you any smarter

Looking back I don't know why I was intimidated at all, I mean she's just a walking pump

I had a interesting thought about electrolytes, I drink 2000mg sodium in 1 litre of water, I sip it slowly on the day, I wonder how much fresh water you would have to add to sea water to bring it down to like 500mg/litre, thats probably as drinkable as fresh water, has better electrolyte count then gaterade, but not as good as pedialyte and we would be increasing the volume of drinkable water by at least some amount

Pump up the jam, pump it up while your feet are stomping and the jam is pumping. Hey Look at here the crowd is jumping. Pump it up a little more, get the party going on the dance floor.

The body is a pump, yes. So if cyborg technology ever comes into vogue to replace our parts, let's hope that they're not made by Ford!
