Drink
1/2 your body weight of water in ounces, daily. Example
180 lb = 90 oz. of water daily. Divide that into 8 or 10 oz. glasses and that's how many glasses you will need to drink, daily.
Use 1/4 tsp. of salt for every quart of water you drink. Use salt liberally with food. As long as you drink the water, you
can use the salt. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic drinks. These are diuretics and will dehydrate you. Every 6 oz. of caffeine
or alcohol requires an additional 10 to 12 oz. of water to re-hydrate you.
Medical Report: A New Medical Discovery by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
I have used
water to cure people who were suffering from "incurable" diseases. I have cured people who suffered for 10 years,
20 years, even 30 years from painful conditions produced by dehydration.
The Mayo Clinic had pronounced Lloyd
Palmer, of Minnesota, as incurable. Since 1965 he had suffered from excruciatingly painful arthritis of his spinal column
-- ankylosing spondylitis. His spine twisted and lost movement until, he says, he became a "walking comma." He suffered
pain for 31 years, until he started to drink water and take salt. He writes: "I continue to be pain-free with my ankylosis
spondylitis one year after starting the water/salt regime. My blood pressure is normal as well. I thank God every day for
allowing me to finally be pain-free." Lloyd Palmer's story is so incredible that Paul Harvey reported it on his ABC News
program. He also wrote a syndicated column, printed in a few hundred newspapers.
Attention! It is easy to understand
what water does in your body, but bear in mind there is more to it than just simply drinking water. You must learn to rehydrate
your body gradually and carefully. You need to recognize your own particular early indicators of thirst. Not everyone is the
same. You must learn what can happen to your own body when it becomes dehydrated. Not every body registers drought in the
same way.
Depending on where the drought has settled, the initial indicators are different in different people.
Dr. Batmanghelidj's Natural Miracle Cure Program is vital for your initiation into the new art of self-healing.
"Use 1/4 tsp. of sea salt for every quart of water you drink. Use a good sea salt, one with at least 80
minerals, liberally with food. As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt. Some put it in their
water, some lick it off their hand, some season their foods after cooking. It's up to you. Make sure you take potassium daily
(banana, orange juice,etc)
Distilled water or reverse osmosis water have demineralizing effects on the body. Tap water is
loaded with pollutents including fluoride and chlorine. Do not drink bottled water because of the plastic toxicity
and the impact on the environment.
Water-Nature's Thirst Quencher
Over half of your body is made up of water. It's in
every cell and every tissue. Biological processes like circulation, digestion, absorption and excretion depend on water. It
forms the foundation of blood and lymph, maintains hearty muscles and young-looking skin, lubricates joints and organs and
regulates body temperature. You can't function without it.
As you grow older, it becomes vital to pay attention
to your water consumption. Mature persons hold less cellular water, with a loss of 10 to 15 percent of previous capacity by
the age of 65. A contributing factor is the loss of thirst sensitivity. Because water is so important for digestion, a lack
of fluid in your body might make it more difficult for you to digest food. You may suffer from cramps, bloating, gas, constipation,
diveritculosis or even colon cancer. Drinking more water, combined with a high-fiber diet, can prevent these problems.
To combat this loss of fluids, the answer is simple. Drink more water. Six to ten glasses of pure water each
day are necessary to enhance your body's functioning. Beyond helping your digestive system, getting enough fluids will give
you fresh skin, clear eyes and shining hair. Signs of hunger may be a warning flag that your body is need of a good drink.
Try consuming several glasses of water before diving into a snack to see if that takes care of your craving. Because fruits
are largely made up of water, they are perfect choices for a mid-afternoon treat.

Because water supports the body while providing resistance to body movement, water-workout
pioneer Huey maintains that water training provides all the benefits of more strenuous forms of exercise without the risk
of injury. These features make water training a versatile form of exercise that almost everyone (from runners and weight trainers
to senior citizens and pregnant women) can enjoy. Designed for people wishing to vary their workouts and for those recovering
from injuries, this definitive guide offers an impressive range of exercise programs--emphasizing balanced strength, aerobic
and anaerobic fitness, and flexibility--in deep and shallow water for both swimmers and nonswimmers. Clear, concise instructions
are given for each of the workout programs--waterpower, deep waterpower, dance-specific, sport-specific, and lower-body, upper-body,

How much water do I drink?
The urine output of an average individual is about
1.6 liters daily. We loose additional water during physical activities like breathing, bowel movements and sweating. Food
supplies about 25% of our water intake . We need to directly take in water to counter the above losses.
Water is needed
during detoxification to dilute toxins and facilitate their elimination from the body. Dehydration is one of the major causes
of diseases. While an average person need between 6-8glasses of purified water daily (2.2 liter or 74 ounces) to stay healthy
(where one cup = ounces), the actual amount of water required depends on the weight and activity levels of the individuals.
To know your recommended water intake divide your weight(in pounds) by two. The resulting number is the amount in ounces
of water requirement for a day. For example, a person who weighs 160Ibs will require 80 ounces of water
daily. If you use the metric system, divide your weight in kilograms by 30. For example, a 90kg individual will need
3.00 Litres of water daily.
The United States National Research council recommends 1ml of water for every calorie you eat. E.g. if a person eats
1000calories, they should drink 1,000 ml of water. Water is essential to every major bodily function that includes circulation
of nutrients to all the cells, lubrication of all bodily organs, elimination of toxins, metabolism of fats and maintenance
During detoxification water help dilute and carry end products like nitrogenous waste and urea from liver to the kidney.
This reduces the work load of distressed or cirrhotic livers. Just like plants which wither without water, similarly the human
cells need to be bathed with water to grow. Without adequate consumption of water during detoxification toxins are reabsorbed
into the tissues.
Warm water on the body enhances the movement of blood towards the surface of the skin and discharges
it impurities through the relaxed open pores which are washed off by constant flow of water.
Individuals with high
blood pressure, decompensated liver cirrhosis, kidney problems or kidney transplant need to consult with their health care
provider before raising their water intake

Dr. Batmanghelidj MD - "The Simple truth is that dehydration can cause disease. Everyone
knows water is good for the body. They seem not to know how essential it is to one's wellbeing. They do not know what happens
to the body if it does not receive its daily need of water."
Julian Whitaker, MD - "Most of us do not naturally drink the amount of water necessary for
improvement, so we function with low level dehydration and suffer a variety of diseases as a result
From the CDC: "Chlorine gas is irritating and corrosive to the throat and lungs, eyes, and skin. The severity of health problems
depends on how much chlorine your pet is exposed to and for how long. Exposure to low levels of chlorine gas can cause coughing
and eye and skin irritation. Exposure to higher levels can cause a burning feeling of the eyes and skin, rapid breathing,
wheezing, blue coloring of the skin, fluid in the lungs, and pain in the chest. Exposure to much higher levels can produce
severe eye and skin burns, respiratory failure, and death."
Most people never give the dangers of chlorine a thought. After all, our elected public officials keep assuring us that chlorinated
city tap water is completely safe for human consumption. Numerous scientific studies report that chlorinated tap water is
a skin irritant and can be associated with rashes like eczema. "Chlorinated water contains chemical compounds called trihalomethanes which are carcinogens resulting
from the combination of chlorine with compounds in water. These chemicals, also known as organochlorides, do not degrade very well and are generally stored in the fatty tissues of
the body (breast, other fatty areas, mother's milk, blood and semen). Organochlorides can cause mutations by altering DNA,
suppress immune system function and interfere with the natural controls of cell growth. Chlorine has been documented to aggravate
asthma. Several studies also link chlorine and chlorinated by-products to a greater incidence of bladder, breast and bowel
cancer as well as malignant melanoma. One study even links the use of chlorinated tap water to congenital cardiac anomalies.
Anything you can do to filter tap and shower water that eliminates or minimizes chlorine would certainly be helpful and possibly
curative for some immune system problems."
Be aware, and beware of your tap water. If these statistics are correct, then the EPA and the U.S. government are not
concerned with protecting your right to clean water, and therefore, you must educate yourself in order to protect against
degenerative disease. [ 1991-1992 EPA records showed that the nations water systems committed over 250,000 violations of the
Safe Drinking Water Act, affecting more than 100 million Americans - and 10% of those exceeded the MCL (Max Contaminant Level)
of the EPA. ] More
Should we be concerned about the quality of our drinking water? Absolutely, according
to Ingram. In these days of heightened environmental concern, more people will be investigating their water supply. In layperson's
terms, Ingram discusses potential pollutants and their sources. He mentions water testing but questions its usefulness as
results are often unreliable. He offers ideas for reducing pollutants in the home water supply without spending alot of money
and discusses virtually all the possible alternatives, from purchasing bottled water to using a home treatment system. Ingram
outlines various water purification systems with details of how each one works and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
He quotes prices; these will be outdated quickly but could at least be used for comparative purposes. Less technical than
John Stewart's Drinking Water Hazards (LJ 7/90), Ingram's book is addressed to general audiences. Not all readers will share
this level of interest in drinking water, but for those who do, this volume is infor mative. - Deborah Emerson ,
Monroe Community Coll. Lib., Rochester, N.Y.Drinking eight glasses of water a day may take inches off your waistline,
but it could also take years off your lifeline. According to Colin Ingram, a scientific researcher/writer of 30 years, chances
are you have poor quality drinking water flowing from your faucet. Water treatment today is focused on short-term health risks,
instead of long-term health effects; no one knows what is a safe level of water pollution for any individual-not government
health officials, not scientists, not doctors. The Drinking Water Book is a complete guide to safe drinking water.
Colin's goal is to illuminate the potential problems of water, and to provide working solutions. He identifies the different
kinds of pollutants, how to find out what's in your water, how purifiers work or don't work, and compares all types of bottled
water. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women;

Cure # 1: Water prevents and cures 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.
Tragedy: 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.
Cure # 2: Water prevents and cures 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.
Cure # 3: Water prevents and cures 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.
Tragedy: 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.
Cure # 4: Water prevents and cures
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.
Cure # 5: Water prevents and cures 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.
Cure #6: Water prevents and cures 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.
Tragedy: 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.
Cure # 7: Water and salt prevent and 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.
Tragedy: 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.
Cure # 8: Water prevents
and cures 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!
Tragedy:
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.
Cure # 9: Water prevents and cures 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.
Tragedy: 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.
Cure # 10: 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.
Cure # 11: Water cures depression, loss of libido, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy.
These conditions are
caused by prolonged chronic dehydration. They will clear up once the body becomes well and regularly hydrated. In these conditions,
exercising one's muscles should be part of the treatment program.
From the Associated Press March 9, 2008
- "A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones
— have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation
shows. The presence of so many prescription drugs — and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen
— in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.
In the course of a five-month inquiry, the AP discovered that drugs have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24
major metropolitan areas — from Southern California to Northern New Jersey, from Detroit to Louisville, Ky."
How safe is our public water
Public
water supply in the United States is not safe for human consumption. Since most water is consumed by livestock, sewage water
contaminated with bacteria, human excrement and chemicals are recycled to tap water in large American cities. Chemical are
added to city water to keep the pipes from rusting at the expense of human health. Most cities add chlorine to disinfect the
water and sodium fluoride for tooth-decay prevention. Fluoric acid is the chemical added to city water supplies
Fluorine is a vitamin and enzyme inhibitor .It is classified as a drug, poison and industrial
waste product of the aluminum and fertilizer industries initially controlled by the Mellons family’ says Dr Yiamouyiannis
. It pollutes the air, damages wild life and livestock and endangers humanity. They were initially disposed by being sold
as rat poison and insecticide. Later there weren’t enough insects and rats to poison. Also, fluoride is not biodegradable
and it excessive use as an insecticide and rodenticide would create health hazards for humanity .It disposal became a problem
for the industrial-agricultural complex. The problem was solved by dumping this waste into public drinking water and the public
was told it reduces tooth decay.- a lie.
The American dental
association and the US public health service authorized this-bureaucratic policy set to counter public welfare. ‘The
United states CDC estimates that between 30,000 to 50,000 people die each year in US where 1 part per million of fluoride
is added to public drinking water. There may be no safe level for fluoride to exert its deleterious effects on the human body.
Evidence shows that fluoride causes dental fluorosis, tooth decay and increased tooth loss’ .Fluoride tricks, damages
and disarms the immune system. It alters the shapes of proteins-the building blocks of the immune system. When the shapes
of proteins are altered, the body sees them as foreign bodies and attacks them. This is one of the etiologies of organ degeneration.
Fluorides decrease the ability of white blood cells to migrate to arrears of infection-the migration rate. Fluoride inhibits
enzymatic reactions in the body by binding the enzyme cofactors. It disrupts the hydrogen bonds that help proteins maintain
its normal shape thereby disrupting the enzymatic activities of proteins whose ability to trigger a reaction is highly dependent
on a shape stabilized by the hydrogen bonds. Chlorine combines with any organic substance that may be in water to form
chloroform, a poisonous substance that does not evaporate. Chlorine interacts with the metabolism of vitamin E in the body.
It is used as an antiseptic in public tap water and all swimming pools.
As
a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, the author, a medical doctor, believes that he has found
chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches,
hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and diabetes in the elderly. According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the body possesses many different thirst signals. A dry
mouth is not a reliable indicator of your body's water needs. He describes a variety of more reliable ones, and helps you
learn to understand when your body is calling for water. In this way, he claims you can prevent, treat, and cure a variety
of conditions of ill health, at no cost, with what he calls nature's .Read on

You're Not Demented, Just Dehydrated by Peter Ragnar "You don’t need to be stranded in a desert to feel the effects of dehydration.
Almost all the people you see and meet on a daily basis are dehydrated. How many folks complain of a lack of energy? It’s
the number one complaint in America. Insufficient energy is the first sign that the blood, tissues, and organs are not getting
enough water, and your liver and brain are the least tolerant of a lack of water. This has led some medical researchers to
conclude that Alzheimer’s disease is simply the result of long-term dehydration of the brain. The same loss of
brain function that causes a lost and thirsty person to eat sand believing it to be water causes your wife, husband, mother,
or father not to recognize you any longer. They are not demented, only thirsty."
"...Every time you
move any body part, even a finger or toe, water is required. That’s why dehydrated people have so many aches and pains.
It’s also why people look so old; their dehydrated organs steal the water from their skin in order to function. Remember,
under ordinary circumstances, you expel up to a gallon of water every twenty-four hours. What do you think happens when you
don’t replenish that supply? Your body experiences a drought condition! A mere two percent drop in hydration will make
your short-term memory so fuzzy that you’ll be unable to remember your friends’ names, have trouble doing basic
math, and forget where you put your keys. Since seventy-five percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated, it’s no
wonder people are losing their minds. Yet, the solution is so simple: cool, clean water. Drink eight to ten eight-ounce glasses
a day of pure water, and you’ll be amazed at how many ailments disappear. Don’t worry; you’re not demented—just
dehydrated!" more...
Dr. Mercola - "If you have not heard of DBPs before, you need to pay close attention as it turns
out that DBPs, not chlorine, are responsible for nearly all the toxic effects of chlorinated water. Chlorine by itself
is relatively harmless, but its side effects, by producing DBPs, is what causes nearly all of the problems. As it turns
out, DBPs are over 10,000 times more toxic than chlorine, and out of all the other toxins and contaminations present in your
water, such as fluoride and miscellaneous pharmaceutical drugs, DBPs may be the absolute worst of the bunch." Robert
Slovak has devoted himself to the science of water chemistry and water treatment for thirty years. In this video, he explains
how attempts to disinfect your water may actually be killing you. Tap Water Toxins: Is Your Water Trying to Kill You?...
What you take out of your body is just as important for your health as what you put into it. With todays chemical laden food
production techniques and our sedentary, over indulgent lifestyles, our bodies are, more than any generation before us, likely
to be saturated with toxins that are ingested from what we eat and drink and also generated by our own bodies. The role of
heavy metals and xenobiotics (pesticides, herbicides, and industrial wastes) are responsible for a wide variety of adverse
health effects. These accumulating toxins are insidious and prevalent agents capable of interfering with physiologic functions
of all human systems. One cannot expect the normal detoxification systems of the body to function optimally when these substances
are constantly present. There are more than 3,800 chemicals in daily use, many of which make their way into our drinking water.
An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland, Baillie-Hamilton details how toxins may be linked
to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal
imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, hyper-sensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health problems.
It is essential to drink plenty of pure water to detoxify. Many health care professionals are encouraging patients
to undergo detoxification regimes. These programs encourage the body to unload its stores of accumulated environmental toxins.
As the body ingests foods, water contributes in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients and is a key element in the removal
of wastes. During detoxification, wastes that have been stored in adipose tissues are dumped into the bloodstream and lymph,
and then sent to the liver and kidneys for processing and elimination. Here is where water’s fifth function, that of
electronegative enhancer, comes into play: by optimizing the natural space between red blood cells, which reduces the risk
of heart disease by helping to avoid clotting; and by allowing the fat cell to detox by off-loading metabolic wastes and environmental
toxins into the bloodstream for elimination. This also assists in weight loss and reduces water retention.

There is a perception among many people that bottled water is somehow more healthy or pure than water from their
tap. This is simply an illusion of marketing. A four-year study by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), released
in 1999, found that one-fifth of the sampled bottled waters contained known neurotoxins and carcinogens such as styrene, toluene
and xylene. Another NRDC study found that, out of 103 brands of bottled water, one-third contained traces of arsenic and E.
coli. This means that out of a sample of 1,000 bottles sold in the U.S., at least 300 would have some level of chemical contamination.
(The law firm of Baron & Budd, P.C provides information about water contamination
problem)
A Suffolk County Study in the USA tested 88 bottled waters and what they found was horrifying. It was this study which discovered
the cancer agent, benzene, in Perrier and caused it to be withdrawn, but they also found: Freon, kerosene, toluene, trichloroethylene,
and xylene in a number of other bottled waters. The most common plastic used in water bottle manufacturing is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), an environmentally unfriendly substance that actually requires 17.5 kilograms of water to produce only 1 kilogram of PET.
In fact, more water is used to make PET bottles than is actually put into them.
How do the drugs get into the water? People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it passes through and is flushed down the
toilet. The wastewater is treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then, some of the water is cleansed
again at drinking water treatment plants and piped to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residue. And while
researchers do not yet understand the exact risks from decades of persistent exposure to random combinations of low levels
of pharmaceuticals, recent studies -- which have gone virtually unnoticed by the general public -- have found alarming effects
on human cells and wildlife.
The federal government doesn't require any testing and hasn't set safety limits for drugs in water. Of the 62 major water
providers contacted, the drinking water for only 28 was tested. Among the 34 that haven't: Houston, Chicago, Miami, Baltimore,
Phoenix, Boston and New York City's Department of Environmental Protection, which delivers water to 9 million people. more
The "very clean waters" produced by reverse osmosis, (which also is use by most bottled companies) is called
"hungry" or "death" water. It is so clean that nothing is left in it. The water is charged with positive
ions instead of negative ions and is also acidic instead of alkaline. The water you drink is supposed to bring all nutrients
to the destination and to flush out any free radicals.
Free radicals are basically poisoned waste products produced
by smoking, drinking, inhaling polluted air and even by eating and exercising. Your body is like a car engine, every time
you turn it on, it burns fuel to move your car, but by doing so produces smoke, which is poisoned. If you take in this
totally clean water then, instead of supplementing minerals to the body it does just the opposite - it takes them away. Can
you see that? Can you see that if you would spill clean water over a dirty rock you would have some of the dirt being washed
away with the clean water?
That is what happens with hungry (totally clean water) - except it does not take away the
dirt but it depletes the body of minerals, calcium and anything else, as it passes trough the body: Everything except the
free radicals because they are charged positively. This is also the case with the reverse osmosis water and the bottled water.
As you know from school to positive magnets push each other away. So the solution is to drink water, which has a range of
minus 250 to minus 800 mV with a PH in the range of 8.5 to 9.5. (a high pH range can easily be produced with an ionizer water machine)
In his book, The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water Bob McCauley clearly explains why Alkaline Ionized Water is by far the most superior drinking water available; what
Ionized Water is; how it is made; what properties it posesses, and how these properties can positively impact your health.
Ionized Alkaline Water (also referred as energized water, antioxidant water, live water, clustered water), helps to naturally flush
toxins and acidic waste from your body and is a powerful antioxidant. Water is one of the best sources for detoxification.
Ionized Alkaline Water makes more oxygen available to your cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered only, bottled or
tap water. Cancer doesn't thrive in an oxygenated body. Alkaline Ionized Water will help to optimize your body's pH.
You could try to achieve an alkaline state with foods but alkaline water will turbo charge your efforts. As a result,
it enables your body to better absorb and utilize nutrients, minerals and supplements.
Water is our best defense against disease of every kind. Sixty percent or more of all chronic disease would be significantly
reduced if people would simply keep themselves properly hydrated. To ionize means to gain or lose an electron. Essentially,
the ionization process robs an electron from one molecule and donates, or transfers, it to another molecule. Both Alkaline
and Acid Ionized Water have extraordinary properties and benefits, however, their respective uses could not be more different.
We consume Alkaline Ionized Water and use the Acid Ionized Water on the outside of our bodies for acne, cuts, scrapes and
rashes of all kinds. It kills bacteria on contact and encourages plant growth. The centerpiece of Alkaline Ionized Water are
its antioxidant properties. It is miraculous that normal tap water can be instantly transformed into a strong antioxidant.
Alkaline Ionized Water has two antioxidant qualities, its negative charge and the presence of hydroxyl ions which are free
radical scavengers. The body is starved for electrons and Alkaline Ionized Water contains an abundance of them, which nullify
free radicals in the body. One can thrive on half the normal intake of food as long as we consume high electron-rich nutrients.
Alkaline Ionized Water is an extremely effective antioxidant because it is a liquid that has a small grouping of water molecule
clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body where it can be of immediate use. Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water
gives you energy through better hydration and alkalization of the body and by providing the body with oxygen. Because of the
predominance of hydroxyl ions in Alkaline Ionized Water, the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. The pH level
can be adjusted with a water ionizer between 7.5 and 9.9, which is the highest pH that it should be consumed. All disease
thrives in an acid environment in the body and will not flourish and thrive in an alkaline environment. If we acidify.More

Dr Sherry Rogers M.D.. - "Alkaline
water rids the body of acid waste... After carefully evaluating the results of my advice to hundreds of individuals,
I'm convinced that toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of degenerative disease."
Prof.
Watanabe Ifao, Watanabe Hospital - "Antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing
to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason
for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins. When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases,
the results are very significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women
with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey
report carried out on babies in this group has intelligence above average."
Dr. Batmanghelidj M.D.
- "I have used water to cure people who were suffering from "incurable" diseases. I have cured people who suffered
for 10 years, 20 years, even 30 years from painful conditions produced by dehydration." Clean, live, energized
water, plays an important role in our health recovery and maintaining optimum health.
Dr Theodore Baroody, author of
"Alkalize or Die", offers a list of symptoms that may be precipitated by Acidosis (Chronic Acidity's Effect on Our Health)
Not only does it give a complete overview of health, but it reveals the true secret of energised living: Alkaline Diet &
Lifestyle. Read this book and discover the underlying causes of nearly all disease, both physical and mental. Discover how
a change in diet, exercise, colour, and music(amongst other things), can bring your body back into perfect balance. You really
can be alive again, and without the need for medical drugs and artificial stimulants.More
This book has the potential to profoundly transform your world view. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered
that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found
that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake
patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with
dull colors. The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal
health. More
According
to Shé D'Montford, Shambhallah, from Australia ‘The human body "WILL HEAL"... If we get out of our
own way and allow it, it heals itself. It is our basic nature. Anybody who tells you other than that is trying to sell you
something. No matter what you have been told. Don't give up on yourself and don't buy into the lines like ... ‘oh well
you've had a good life'... 'at your age'... and the worst of all ...'there's nothing further I can do, I suggest you finalize
your affairs'... How dare anyone tell you to give up! So much in society combines to convince us of the propaganda that some
things never get better. It's up to you ... do you want to get better? Make things better? It is human nature to make things
better, evolve and grow.”
