All this information is taken from Dr F Batmanhejidj's Book - Your Body's Many Cries for Water.
Below are many common ailments of the body - in alphabetical order. See how water can help your particular condition. Amazing huh?
Your body needs an absolute minimum of 6-8 8ounce glasses of water per day. Alcohol, coffee, tea and caffine containing beverages don't count as water. The best times to drink water are one glass half hour before food and a similar amount 2.5 hours after each meal. Two more glasses should be taken around the heaviest meal or before going to bed. Adjusting water intake to mealtimes prevents the blood from becoming concentrated as a result of food intake. Ordinary tap water is recommended. If an open-top jug with water is left to stand in the fridge or the work yop the chlorine will evaporate.
Alzheimer's
The primary cause may be chronic dehydration of the body. In prolonged dehydration the brain cells begin to shrink. (pg36/37)
Arthritis Pain
The cartilage surface of bones in a joint contain much water - the lubricating property utilised allows the two opposing surfaces to glide freely over one another. In a well hydrated cartilage the rate of friction damage is minimal, in a dehydrated cartilage the rate of abrasive damage is increased. Actively growing blood cells in the bone marrow take prority over the cartilage for the available water that goes through the bone structure. The initial pain indicates that the joint is not fully prepared to endure pressure until it is fully hydrated.
Asthma and Allergies
Asthma and allergies are indicators that the body has resorted to an increase in production of histamine. It is recognised that asthmatics have an increase in histamine content of their lung tissue and that it is the histamine that regulates the bronchial muscle contraction. Since one of the sites for water loss through evaporation is in the lungs, bronchial constriction produced by histamine means less water evaporation during the act of breathing - a natural process to preserve the body's water. Histamine plays an important role in the defence systems in the body and normally remains unnoticed, but when a body is dehydrated the histamine activity becomes exaggerated. Concentrated blood reaching the lungs trigger histamine production. Salt is a natural antihistamine. People with allergies should begin to increase their salt intake. Salt is needed to break up the mucus in the lungs and render it watery. A pinch of salt on the toungue after drinking water fools the brin into thinking a lot of salt has arrived in the body and the brain begins to relax the bronchioles.(pp107_114)
Colitis/Constipation
One of the main functions of the large intestine is the process of taking water out of the excrements. When there is dehydration the process is slowed down and the contents squeezed - with further food more solid waste will be packed and increase the burden for passage and cause pain. With adequate water intake the abdominal pain will disappear.(pg37)
Dyspeptic Pain (heartburn, ulcers etc)
Dyspeptic pain is the most important signal for the human body - it denotes dehydration. Water passes immediately into the intestine, but within 30 minutesalmost the same amount of water is secreted into the stomach in the mucosa, ready to be used for food breakdown - digestion depends on the presence of copious amounts of water. Mucus consists of 98% water, sodium bicarbonate becomes trapped in the water layer and as the acid from the stomach tries to go through this protective layer it is neutralised. The balance needs to be maintained and water is the only substance that can do this. Antacids are designed to attack the acid in the stomach which upsets this balance. (p33)
Excess Body Weight
Sensation of thirst and hunger are generated simultaneously to indicate the brain's needs and we do not recognise the sensation of thirst and assume both are indicators of the urge to eat. We eat food even when the body should receive water. By drinking water before eating food it helps seperate the two sensations. Diet drinks containing caffine are diuretics and can cause weight gain. The water is forced from the body, the person drinks more and is never satisfied as the water doesn't stay in the body long enough - the person then assumes they are hungry. (pp93-106)
Headaches
Including migraine headaches, these may be prevented by regular intake of water.(p52)
Hiatus Hernia
You will need to read the book for a full explanation, but basically when we drink water a hormone called motilin is secreted which helps the internal contractions of the digestive system. When there is not enough water in the body the stomach contents are not allowed into the small intestine - too much acid is present which will cause damage - the valves constrict to stop progress and the acid is forced upwards. (p38) Dyspeptic pain is thist signal associated with chronic or severe dehydration of the human body.
Higher Blood Pressure
Cholesterol production in the cell membrane is part of the cell survival system and is a necessary substance, its excess denotes dehydration. Cholesterol is the agent that regulates permeability of the cell membrane to water and gives it the power to survive dehydration and drought. If we don't drink water before food the process of food digestion will take its toll on the cells of the body. Water will have to be poured on to the food in the stomach for processing, in the intestine more water is required to further process the food and then send them to the liver. In the liver more water is used. In the lungs water is evaporated. Dehydration may register itself halfway through a meal with dyspeptic pain. The solution is to drink water. Water is the most essential ingredient - if we give the necessary water to the body before we eat food all the battle against cholesterol formation in the blood vessels will be won.(pp93-116)
High Blood Pressure
Vessels of the body have been designed to cope with fluctuation of their blood volume by opening and closing different vessels,when the body's total fluid volume is decreased the main vessels also have to decrease their aperture. When we do not drink enough water some cells become dehydrated - 66% is taken from the water volume normally held inside the cells, 26% is taken from the volume outside the cells and 8% taken from the blood volume - the blood vessels have therefore got to decrease their aperture and some capilleries in less active areas are closed off. Excercise opens up capilleries to hold a greater volume of blood - the capillaries must remain open and full and offer no resisitance to blood circulation. Thereis much more information on this.(pp69-78)
Lower Back Pain
the spinal joints are dependenton the hydraulic properties of water stored in the disc core. Fully 75% of the weight of the upper part of the body is supported by the water volume that is stored in the disc core and 25% supported by the fibrous materials around the disc. To prevent back pain one needs to drink sufficient water. (p47)
Neck Pain
The weight of the head forces water out of the discs over a period of time - to bring back the same water the force of vacuum has to be created by doing simple head and neck exercises. Slowly and repeatedly bend the head and neck backwards as much as they will, keeping the neck extended for 30 seconds at a time - this brings water into the disc spaces.(p49)
Stress and Depression
A state of depression is said to exist in the brain, in confronting a stressful emotional problem finds it difficult to cope with the other attention-demanding actions at the same time. Some form of depression is natural in the process of development, but when for some time it gets beyondthis help may be required. The brain uses electrical energy that is generated by the water drive of the energy-generating pumps. With dehydration the level of energy generated in the brain is decreased. Many functions of the brain that depend on this type of energy become inefficient. We recognise this inadequacy of function and call it depression. This can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome.

Full Breathing for Health
The full breath brings into use every part of the lungs, every air cell and all the surrounding muscles. The chest cavity is used to its full limit, and the maximum benefit obtained. the rib muscles are actively used, as are those of the stomach and diaphram. This helps to prevent respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, etc. This is the BASIC NATURAL method of breathing.
The method is as follows:
1. Stand or sit erect, or lie flat. Exhale completely. Breath in slowly through the nostrils (never through the mouth), and fill with air. First the lower part of the lungs, which will cause the abdomen to expand. Then the middle and upper part, which will cause the chest to expand and the abdomen to contract a little.
2. Hold breath for a few seconds.
3. Breath out slowly through the nose, contracting stomach muscles to ensure proper exhalation. Practice this 4 or 5 times several times each day, and partiucularly when by the sea, or in the country, where the air is pure.
It is also very helpful to imagine yourself breathing in the power that makes the sea and sky blue, the trees and grass green, and the sun golden, because this is healing power and can be absorbed by full breath. When exhaling, imagine you are giving off all worry and trouble from your mind to be taken care of by a higher power. In this way, the full breath becomes not only a physical exercise but a mental and spiritual one as well.

Cholesterol - what is it? / what can we do?
Cholesterol is soft waxy substance found amongst the lipids(fats) of the blood stream in all body cells. It is an important part of a healthy body because it is used to form cell membranes, some hormones and other needed tissue. High level of cholesterol in the blood (hypercholestrolmia)is an indication of a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke. It also contributes to gallstones, impotence, mental impairment and hypertension. Blood flow is restricted by cholesterol in the vessels resulting in a reduced flow of blood (and oxygen) to the brain, heart and other organs.
What can be done to reduce Cholesterol?
Water: Excess Cholesterol denotes deydration. 2ltrs minimum per day, to rehydrate the body. Best times to drink 1 glass 1/2 hour before food and 1 glass 2.5 hrs after a meal. 2 more glasses around the heviest meal or before going to bed. Adjusting water intake to mealtimes prevents the blood becoming concentrated as a result of food intake. Ordinary tap water, left to stand - chlorine will evaporate.
Diet: Avoid fried foods, eat more fruit, vegetables and fibre based foods such as oats and wholegrain breads, rice, and soya beans. Use olive oil in the preparation of food. Limit the consumption of eggs to 4 per week. eat more grilled food or broiled fish and skinless chicken. Cut down on red meat, when you do choose lean cuts. Eat only low fat dairy products.

Arthritis / Osteoporosis - what is it? / what can we do?
Arthritis - inflammation of one or more joints characterised by swelling, warmth, redness of the underlying skin, pain and restriction of motion.
Osteoarthritis - affects the cartilage and lubricating fluid covering articulating surfaces causing underlying bone to thicken and distort. This restricts joint movement, provokes pain, swelling and inflammation. Usually affects load bearing joints, but not always. Causes may be: overuse, injury, age, diet (one in high animal protein and fats creates excess acidity which can be associated with arthritis, calcium metabolism (calcium is not kept in solution but gets deposited in weak areas), toxins from the colon which settle in a weak joint causing inflammation. Circulation to the area is impeded, thus less waste is removed(cleansing)and cell renewal is affected (nutrician). Osteoarthritis is recognised by x-ray by narrowing of the joint space (due to loss of artilage) and the presence of ostephyte (projection of bone that occurs at the sites of cartilage degeneration). Psychologically osteoarthriris can reflect "armouring", or inflexibility.
Osteoporosis - is a gradual loss of bone density causing weakening and brittle bones. This occurs naturally with ageing but can occur earlier as a result of calcium deficiency or oral steroid drugs, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Bone density is maintained by calcium whose metabolism needs calcitonin, produced by the parathyroid glands, and oestrogen: production of these hormones gradually declines with the menopause. Thus more common in women than men.
Water - The cartilage surface of bones in a joint contain much water - the lubricating property utilised allows the two opposing surfaces to glide freely over one another. In a well hydrated cartilage the rate of friction damage is minimal, in a dehydrated cartilage the rate of abrasive damage is increased. Actively growing blood cells in the bone marrow take priority over the cartilage for the available water that goes to the bone structure. The initial pain indicates that the joint is not fully prepared to endure pressure until it it is fully hydrated.
Calcium - Builds strong bones and hard teeth. Essential for blood clotting. Helps muscles and nerves to work. Activates certain enzymes. Foods - milk, bread, flour, cheese, green vegetables. Calcium level controlled by the parathyroid gland. Absorbtion and use requires: Vit D found in fish, liver, oily fish, eggs and milk - which in turn regulates the absorption of calcium in intestine, and calcium in bone marrow.
Thyroxine - Needs iodine present in blood stream. Iodine controls the rate at which we use body energy. Foods -fish, shellfish. Iodised table salt.
recommended - Wholefood diet. Apple cider vinegar with honey in the morning. Epsom salts in hot baths. Excercise - swimming.

Next time you are thirsty - pause for a second
Food for thought...
Water or coke?
We all know that water is important but I have never seen it written down like this before.
Water
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half of the world's population.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the No: 1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back & joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic maths, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likey to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
Coke
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries 2 gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in 2 days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of coca-cola into the toilet bowl and let the coke sit for 1 hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminium foil dipped in coke.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals:
Pour a can of coke over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosten a rusty bolt:
Apply a cloth soaked in coke to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham:
Empty a can of coke into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes:
Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The coke will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. This is very interesting. Try it for yourself.
For your Information
1. The active ingredient in coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will disolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from the bones and is a major contributor to the increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry coke syrup (the concentrate)the truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?
