The easy non-medical solution?

[Sweetlips]

I'm a water drinker anyway (always have a big glass of ice water going) But I have noticed on my busy days when I dont take the time to drink water, I tend to end up feeling sluggish and headachy.

 

I've also been told that cold icy water isnt good for me, that it should be more tepid so the body can absorb it easier.....all I can say to that is......ickkk....its gotta be icy cold.

11 Miracles in Your Faucet

 

 

The remedy for your medical problems may be as close as your

faucet! Pigs will fly before the medical establishment will

disclose something simple and free in lieu of costly (and

frequently dangerous) medications; but they do tell us to do

this, they just don't know, or don't tell us the great benefit.

 

In forty years of practice I have seen many apparent miracles

produced solely by plain water. You won't believe what 8-10

eight-ounce glasses of water per day will do for many maladies.

 

There is one major problem:

 

People won't drink that much due to the inconvenience of

frequent urination; a small price to pay for better health.

 

If your urine is not a very pale yellow or even clear, you are

not getting enough water (does not apply to those taking B-

complex vitamins as these can turn the urine bright yellow).

 

When I speak of water I do NOT refer to coffee, sodas or tea.

Distilled or spring is best but tap water will work just fine

for most people. Some places have water which has an odor and

is not at all that tasty. Put a jug in the fridge for a few

days and it will taste better. In addition, much of the

chlorine will vanish. Prior to drinking, shake it vigorously

for a while. This will oxygenate it.

 

Cure #1: Dump the Tums and cure heartburn.

 

Heartburn may be 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 may prevent and cure arthritis.

 

Rheumatoid Joint Pain - Arthritis - may be 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 will cure this problem.

 

Cure #3: Back pain.

 

Low Back Pain and Ankylosing Arthritis of the Spine may be signs

of water shortage in the spinal column and discs - the spinal

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: Angina.

 

Heart Pain - Angina - can be 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 may be your cure for angina.

 

Cure #5: Migraines.

 

Migraine Headache may be a sign that water is needed by the

brain and the eyes. Migraine may be prevented by keeping

dehydration from establishing in the body and may be totally

cleared up by treating for the condition of dehydration. This

particular type of dehydration might eventually cause

inflammation of the back of the eye and possibly loss of

eyesight.

 

Cure #6: 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 too much water from the excrements - thus

the lack of water lubrication.

 

Tragedy: Not recognizing colitis pain as a sign of dehydration

will cause persistent constipation, which can result in fecal

impacting, verticulitis, hemorrhoids, polyps, and appreciably

increase the possibility of developing cancers of the colon and

rectum.

 

Cure #7: Asthma.

 

Asthma, which also affects 12,000,000 children and kills several

thousands of them every year, is a complication of dehydration in

the body. It is caused by the drought management programs of

the body. 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.

 

Tragedy: Not recognizing asthma as the indicator of dehydration

in growing children not only will sentence many thousands of

children to die every year, but will permit irreversible genetic

damage to establish in the remaining asthmatic children.

 

Cure #8: 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 which diffuse water into vital cells. As part

of the mechanism of reverse osmosis, when water from the 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 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 diseases. It will cause brain damage and

neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

 

Cure #9: 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 will reverse adult-onset

diabetes in its early stages.

 

Tragedy: Not recognizing adult-onset diabetes as a complication

of dehydration may, in time, cause massive damage to the blood

vessels all over the body.

It may cause eventual loss of the toes, feet and legs from

gangrene. It may cause eye damage, even blindness.

 

Cure #10: 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 from 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: Depression, Loss of libido, Chronic fatigue syndrome,

Lupus, Multiple sclerosis, Muscular dystrophy.

 

These conditions may be caused by prolonged chronic dehydration.

If so, 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 Mountain:

The doctor who wrote this is unknown although the knowledge is

rather common. Is it ALL completely true? Will simply drinking

enough water eventually cure all of the above conditions?

 

The point is, it WILL improve your health, it IS free, and it IS

the right thing to do. And as long as you don't ignore your

doctor's advice (which by the way is to drink 8-10 8oz glasses

of water per day) there is absolutely no risk.

 

No risk, no cost, no travel, definite improvements.

 

So what are you waiting on?

 

Drink up!

Dunno if water is THAT great of a panacea, but as I was chugging down the better part of a 1.5 L today, someone made a comment about "thirsty?"; my comeback was "Water is good for you, drink more of it." Certainly an upgrade over the diet sodas so many of the guys I work with suck down all day. Blech.

[tonorator]

ok, now i have to pee.

[Front Row]

Beer is made from water.

[whomper]

Sweetlips . I agree .On days I dont get a lot of water I tend to get headaches.

[Chargerz]

Whether water cures the maladies mentioned above or not, there is really no down-side to drinking water unless you overdo it (over three quarts per day) and cause yourself to get acute water intoxication (hyponatremia).

[Meat Face]

water is the best thing for a cold. Drink LOTS! Pee clear. You'll get better fast.

That Depends!

 

Seriously, I drink lots of water also. I do feel funky if I don't. And Yes I pee a lot. (OK,TMI)

 

Good post, SL!

Switch to beer. Even if it's Coors Light, that's kinda like water.

Stolen Joke! 10 yard penalty, loss of down.

 

My joke, and it goes like dis:

 

Aqua, Sky, and rr26 are talking.

Aqua says "I can pee with no problem every morning 8:00am sharp, but I'm constipated all the time"

Sky says "I'm as regular as a clock every morning at 7:00am I have a BM, but I pee in morse code".

RR26 says " I pee every morning at 7:00am sharp, I have a BM at 8:00am sharp, but the only problem I have is I don't wake up until 9:00am." parup-pum!
