The importance of waterThe following is excerpted from the book Reverse Aging by Sang Whang, who should be given an honorary doctor's degree for his knowledgeable writings covering water and health. Most doctors are not even close to his level of knowledge. What you will read in his book is a synopsis of his findings after 12 years of clinical and scientific research. These same views have been published in scientific articles and presented at conferences. To duplicate his research, the way the health care system is used to - if they choose to do it at all - would take a decade or two, and many hundreds of millions of dollars, just to confirm his discovery that chronic dehydration is the root cause of many of the diseases we confront in medicine at present! You do not need to wait that long, and you do not need a prescription to use water as the only medication for the "cure of dehydration," and prevention of its severe complications. You can save yourself much money and the anxiety of falling ill by paying attention to your body's constant need for water An important chemical characteristic of water is ionization. Ionization happens when an atom or a molecule loses its electrons or gains electrons from another atom. Even without any minerals in the water, one in ten million parts of water molecules are ionized. When a water molecule, H2O, is ionized, the molecule splits into two parts: hydrogen ion, H+ and hydroxyl ion, OH-. These ions in turn ionize minerals in the water to create an active chemical reaction. Because water causes ionization, without water our body ceases its chemical reactions. This means sickness and eventually death. Mr. Whang attributes his good health to drinking a quart of water each morning, and water during the entire day. Mr. Whang is a healthy person. A sick person should drink more water. Normally, lots of water is necessary to properly support the different body functions and to help flush the acidic elements out of the body. Mr. Whang reports that, for proper digestion, approximately 14 ounces of water should be consumed 20 minutes before meals. Water is essential for enzymes to function properly in the digestive process. If water isn't provided prior to digestion, the body is told to find water from other easily available resources. The immune system has easily available water but when its water resources are shared, its performance is lowered. This should be of main concern when a person needs all the strength of the immune system when dealing with an illness. Note that if the body is already deficient in water, it may not provide enough liquid to process the food properly and toxemia in the colon could be developing, which hinders the body from healing. Water is the common ingredient in the body and is present in every cell. Water makes up over 70% of body weight. Dr. Schultz, a top herbalist, mentions in his instructions, during cleaning the body with strong herbs that an ounce of water, per pound, per day is suggested. In Your Body's Many Cries for Water, Dr. F Batmanghelidj states that water helps transport substances across cell membranes and are essential for cleansing the body of waste products. Water helps keep the body chemistry regulated and keeps the internal organs functioning properly. We've found a source of pure water is essential to anyone interested in maintaining good health or regaining good health. There are many testimonies in the book that are Good. Here are a couple of samples.
October 31, 1994 To Whom It May Concern: Imagine having to sleep in an upright position for almost a year, struggling for each breath and suffering from countless asthma and panic attacks nightly! That was until five months ago! On March 27, 1933, I was hospitalized with a severe asthma attack and developed bronchial pneumonia! My blood gases registered 40 and I was in a life-threatening situation! After my release from the hospital, I was placed on large doses of theophyllin and prednisone. My weight skyrocketed and the medication caused me to become hostile and disoriented. I really didn't want to live! Then, a wonderful friend gave me a flyer on Dr. Batmanghelidj's book Your Body's Many Cries for Water! I quickly mailed a check and a letter to the doctor, pleading for a fast delivery! To my complete surprise, he called me personally and started helping me by telephone to get off the medication, which was inappropriate for my condition at this time and asked me to drink at least three liters of water a day and use a small amount of salt! He also asked me to walk in an indoor shopping mall for 15 minutes a day. I can now walk for 30 minutes a day and my breathing is 100% better! As of this date, October 31, 1994, I am no longer on any medication for asthma! I have not used an inhaler or medication of any sort for more than five months! When I start any sort of mild wheezing, I just drink a glass of water and take a little salt and I'm fine! And....guess what? All of the wonderful water and walking has made me lose 35 lbs. I'm now back to my desired weight and I look young, vibrant, and healthy again! There are millions of Americans out there who need to get "the message." They suffer from AIDS, asthma, arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. Everyone in America could benefit from reading Dr. Batmanghelidj's books!
BATES-FOX Attestation: 25 March 1992 It was in the spring of 1991 when I first learned from a member of the Foundation for the Simple in Medicine the value of water as a form of medication. Six months before, I had suffered two heart attacks and had undergone angioplasty surgery. After the operation, I was prescribed heavy dosages of calcium and beta-blocks, baby aspirin, nitroglycerine (for pain), and cholesterol-reducing medicine for recovery. The angiogram before the angioplasty had shown one of the arteries of my heart was blocked by cholesterol deposits. I was told my heart was damaged. After six months of strict attention to my prescribed "recuperation" program, I noticed that my condition was rapidly deteriorating, to the extent that I had difficulty sleeping because of pain in my left arm, back and chest, and also felt these same pains when I took my daily walks. I visualized myself going for bypass surgery at the scheduled time for reevaluation of my condition. By this time, I also suffered from serious side effects caused by the medications, such as: my prostate created retention and blocking problems; I had also developed problems with my vision and memory recall. I first began my rehabilitation through diet by a regular intake of six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day for three days. I was told to drink water a half-hour before eating my daily meals. I cut off my anti-cholesterol pills, aspirin, and nitroglycerine pills. Judging by the effect of the water, it seemed I did not need them. I also started taking orange juice and started using salt in my diet again (I had been on a sodium-free diet). After the first three days, I was feeling more comfortable about all of that added water. After three weeks of gradually reducing the calcium and beta-blockers, I noticed some very favorable changes. Whenever I felt pain, I would drink water and get instant relief. My diet remained the same--fruits, vegetables, chicken, fish, orange juice, and carrot juice. To get more tryptophan, I was asked to add cottage cheese and lentil soup to my diet. Dr. Batmanghelidj requested that I take two one-hour walks (25 minute miles) a day. After the second month, I noticed no more pain--even walking up steep hills. After the fifth month, I changed my walks to 1/2 hour and increased my pace to a 15-minute mile. No constrictions were noticed during my walks and my energy had increased two-fold. Much of my power to recall had been reestablished, and my vision returned to normal. In October 1991, I had a series of chemical and physical tests, including x-rays, sonogram, echocardiogram, and electrocardiogram, to determine the state of my heart. The tests showed that my heart had restored to its normal state and I did not need any form of medication to cope with my daily routine. My doctor could not believe how simply all this change had taken place. John 0. Fox Bates-Fox Natural Vision Training (Next article.) |
