Water: H2O
"You're not sick; you're thirsty. Don't treat thirst with medication."
Dr. F. Batmanghelidj
Most of us are aware of the importance of drinking enough water.
Getting our daily dose of water helps our organs perform their functions, keeps
our skin clear and hydrated, and allows physical action in our bodies to flow
smoothly. Even with this knowledge, it can still be challenging to drink all
the water our bodies deserve daily. In the summer, when we tend to play hard,
sweat and spend prolonged time in the sun, drinking plenty of water is
critical. Those who are not drinking enough may experience poor digestion,
sluggish thinking, skin breakouts, headaches, bad breath and general
fatigue.
To start your day right, set a large glass of water by your bed
each night and drink it when you wake up. Drinking water first thing in the
morning pulls out toxins from the previous day and freshens your system for the
day ahead. Keep a bottle of water accessible throughout the day, whether you
are on the go or at a desk. Having a bottle of water close by will remind you
to take a sip when thirsty. The first sip will usually let you know how much
more water you need. A sip or two may be enough, or you may need a big glass.
If you drink most of your daily water before early evening, you most likely
will not be thirsty before bed. This is good, because drinking before bed and
then waking to use the bathroom disturbs your peaceful night’s sleep.
Why is Water So Important?
70% of the adult human body is comprised of water (more for children). The human eye is between 95% to 98% water. H2O encompasses 71% of the earth and is vital and essential to EVERY living creature in existence on earth. The human body requires H2O more than it requires food. You can survive weeks without food, but only a few days without water. It is medically necessary for BASIC human survival that a person consume half their body weight in ounces of pure water per DAY. Therefore, a 200 lb person should ingest 100 ounces of water daily! 95% of the time, the human body does not distinguish between hunger and thirst. When we think we are hungry, we are really thirsty.
All disease and dis‐ease comes from DEHYDRATION. They are so many so-called incurable diseases that are being treated with drugs and procedures that are caused by lack of water and/or unprocessed sea salt. The combination of lacking these two essential nutrients and drinking caffeine, alcohol, and soda which wreck our immune systems by ridding our bodies of these nutrients as well as vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. Dr. Batmanghelidj said, “We are not sick, we are just thirsty.” He also explains the root cause of the following list of “diseases” is chronic dehydration and claims people should not be sold drugs to treat the symptoms of thirst, which is the main reason they are incurable because the treatment is wrong!
Dehydration causes our bodies to remain in an acidic state. The acid alkaline balance of the body is measured by the body pH factor. The pH [potential of hydrogen] ranges from 0 [extreme acidic] to 14 [extreme alkaline]. There is a tenfold difference between each number. For instance, a body pH of 5 is 10 times more acidic as a body pH of 6. Optimally, we want the fluids in our bodies to have a neutral pH level, which is 7.0-7.4. A pH less than 5.3 indicates an inability to assimilate vitamins or minerals. A pH below 7 is acid and above 7 is alkaline.
Toxins in the water we drink keep us from absorbing the correct amount of pure water needed to live a long and healthy life. Pure water has an alkalinity of 7.0 PH. To stay free of disease a body must stay in an alkaline state. All diseases thrive in an acidic state. No disease in existence has ever survived in an alkaline state. Water balances your body and keeps it ALKALINE. Since the alkaline [higher pH] blood, contains excess oxygen, the heart does not have to work as hard. Aging is accelerated because natural acid salts build up in the walls of your cells, causing them to stiffen, thicken, wrinkle and dry up. This causes cells to lose their ability to receive essential nutrients and oxygen that are required for health and healing. By the same token, aging is slowed when acid waste is removed from the body. An infant is highly alkaline. A typical 75-year-old is highly acidic. Death is 100% acidity. Dr. Theodore A. Baroody wrote a blockbuster book entitled: Alkalize or Die. Consumption of beverages, such as pop, coffee, diet soda, etc., cause an acidic environment in the body. The body needs to work to neutralize the acid in the body. In addition to the daily ounces of water required by the human body (as a function of weight) consumption of:
- One 8 oz cup of coffee = 64 ounces of H2O to counteract and maintain optimal pH balance
- One 12 oz can of pop = 90 ounces of H2O r to counteract and maintain optimal pH balance
No health disorder or disease can possibly sustain itself when the pH is maintained in the neutral zone. This is true for every man, woman and child. At this level, the body is highly oxygenated; it detoxifies and heals itself; its cells are energized; and it has a strong immunity to all diseases. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans have a pH level of 6.2 to 6.4.
The following are symptoms of dehydration and body being in acidic state:
Acid reflux Autism
Addictions Poor Circulation
Agoraphobia
Most allergies except food Angina
Arthritis Asthma
ADD ADHD
Back Problems Birth Defects
Cancer High Cholesterol
Chronic Fatigue Chron’s Disease
Most Colds Colitis
Congestion/Mucus Coughing
Cramps (lack of salt) Cystic Fibrosis
Depression/Anxiety Chronic Dry eyes
Gallstones Gout
Graves disease Headaches
Heart Problems Hiccups
Most HBP Lupus
Many mental disorders Minere's disease, MD,
Obesity Chronis pain
Pet arthritis (99%) RSD
Most skin problems Strokes
Suicidal tendencies Syncope
Thyroid disease Ulcers
Urinary tract infections.*
