Below you will find several of the critical reasons you need to include the Water Cure in your plan. This information is excerted from a great book by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D. titled, "Your Body's Many Cries for Water, Your Not Sick, You're Thirsty. Don't Treat Thirst with Medication"
Water prevents and helps to cure heartburn.
Heartburn
is a signal of water shortage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal
tract. It is a major thirst signal of the human body. The use of
antacids or tablet medications in the treatment of this pain does not
correct dehydration, and the body continues to suffer as a result of its
water shortage.
Not recognizing heartburn as a sign of dehydration and treating it with antacids and pill medications will, in time, produce inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, hiatal hernia, ulceration, and eventually cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver and pancreas.
Water prevents and helps to cure arthritis.
Rheumatoid joint pain - arthritis - is a signal of water shortage
in the painful joint. It can affect the young as well as the old. The
use of pain-killers does not cure the problem, but exposes the person to
further damage from pain medications. Intake of water and small amounts
of salt will cure this problem.
Water prevents and helps to cure back pain.
Low back pain and ankylosing arthritis of the spine are signs of
water shortage in the spinal column and discs - the water cushions that
support the weight of the body. These conditions should be treated with
increased water intake - not a commercial treatment, but a very
effective one.
Not recognizing arthritis and low back pain as signs of
dehydration in the joint cavities and treating them with pain-killers,
manipulation, acupuncture, and eventually surgery will, in time, produce
osteoarthritis when the cartilage cells in the joints have eventually
all died. It will produce deformity of the spine. It will produce
crippling deformities of the limbs. Pain medications have their own
life-threatening complications.
Water prevents and helps to cure angina.
Heart pain - angina - is a
sign of water shortage in the heart/lung axis. It should be treated with
increased water intake until the patient is free of pain and
independent of medications. Medical supervision is prudent. However,
increased water intake is angina's cure.
Water prevents and helps to cure migraines.
Migraine headache is a sign
of water need by the brain and the eyes. It will totally clear up if
dehydration is prevented from establishing in the body. The type of
dehydration that causes migraine might eventually cause inflammation of
the back of the eye and possibly loss of eye sight.
Water prevents and helps to cure colitis.
Colitis pain is a signal of
water shortage in the large gut. It is associated with constipation
because the large intestine constricts to squeeze the last drop of water
from the excrements - thus the lack of water lubrication.
Not recognizing colitis pain as a sign of dehydration will cause
persistent constipation. Later in life, it will cause fecal impacting:
it can cause diverticulitis, hemorrhoids and polyps, and appreciably
increases the possibility of developing cancer of the colon and rectum.
Water and salt prevent and helps to cure asthma.
Asthma, which also affects
14 million children and kills several thousand of them every year, is a
complication of dehydration in the body. It is caused by the drought
management programs of the body. In asthma free passage of air is
obstructed so that water does not leave the body in the form of vapor -
the winter steam. Increased water intake will prevent asthma attacks.
Asthmatics need also to take more salt to break the mucus plugs in the
lungs that obstruct the free flow of air in and out of the air sacs.
Not recognizing asthma as the indicator of dehydration in the body
of a growing child not only will sentence many thousands of children to
die every year, but will permit irreversible genetic damage to
establish in the remaining 14 million asthmatic children.
Water prevents and helps to cure high blood pressure.
Hypertension is a state of adaptation of the body to a generalized drought, when there is not enough
water to fill all the blood vessels that diffuse water into vital
cells. As part of the mechanism of reverse osmosis, when water from the
blood serum is filtered and injected into important cells through minute
holes in their membranes, extra pressure is needed for the "injection
process." Just as we inject I.V. "water" in hospitals, so the body
injects water into tens of trillions of cells all at the same time.
Water and some salt intake will bring blood pressure back to normal!
Not recognizing hypertension as one of the major indicators of
dehydration in the human body, and treating it with diuretics that
further dehydrate the body will, in time, cause blockage by cholesterol
of the heart arteries and the arteries that go to the brain. It will
cause heart attacks and small or massive strokes that paralyze. It will
eventually cause kidney disease. It will cause brain damage and
neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Water prevents and helps to cure early adult-onset diabetes.
Adult-onset diabetes is
another adaptive state to severe dehydration of the human body. To have
adequate water in circulation and for the brain's priority water needs,
the release of insulin is inhibited to prevent insulin from pushing
water into all body cells. In diabetes, only some cells get survival
rations of water. Water and some salt will reverse adult-onset diabetes
in its early stages.
Not recognizing adult-onset diabetes as a complication of
dehydration will, in time, cause massive damage to the blood vessels all
over the body. It will cause eventual loss of the toes, feet and legs
from gangrene. It will cause eye damage, even blindness.
Water lowers blood cholesterol.
High cholesterol levels are
an indicator of early drought management by the body. Cholesterol is a
clay-like material that is poured in the gaps of some cell membranes to
safeguard them against losing their vital water content to the
osmotically more powerful blood circulating in their vicinity.
Cholesterol, apart from being used to manufacture nerve cell membranes
and hormones, is also used as a "shield" against water taxation of other
vital cells that would normally exchange water through their cell
membranes.
Nothing in these statements is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
