We All Need to Spread the Word About Water

For more than a year now I’ve been reading volumes of information about water. I’ve been writing about water, talking about water, and drinking lots and lots of water. I wouldn’t call myself an expert by any means because there are always people who know more than I do about everything. But I would consider myself knowledgeable. When I sit back and think of everything I’ve learned about water, I find it interesting because water is something I studied and learned about in grade school. Yet, there is so much more that has been discovered about water in the last 40 years.

While scientists and engineers have put men and women on the moon, created the PC and the internet, found cures for some diseases, and medicine to mask the symptoms of thousands of others, water has been just water. It’s the same substance that kept organisms alive millions of years ago so we could evolve into what we are today. In those millions of years, water itself has not changed. Yet we keep learning more and more about it. I find it fascinating and mystical at the same time. Have we overlooked certain powers and properties of water? Will we someday understand that what we have overlooked is the key to human survival? Will it be too late?

Then I thought, “what if we could just educate people on what we do know about water now?” Could we save lives and reduce the massive burden on our healthcare system? How are we going to get the word out about water to people? I’m not talking about people like the readers of this article. You want to know about water. You know the people I’m talking about. The 32 ounce soda from 7-Eleven on the way to work people. They put so much acid in their body that it would take gallons of alkaline water to offset the impact. How can we educate these people on the damage they are doing to themselves?

I believe the answers lie in those of us that do the reading and educate ourselves. It’s up to us to share what we know. So I’m asking each and every one of you to learn what I learned recently and share it with everyone you know. In my recent travels over the internet I discovered yet another oracle of information about water. It’s called WaterCure.com .

WaterCure.com features research and information from Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D., an internationally renowned researcher, author and advocate of the natural healing power of water. He attended Fettes College in Scotland and was a graduate of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School of London University, where he studied under Sir Alexander Fleming, who shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery of penicillin.

What Dr. B (as he is referred to) has shared is comforting and absolutely astounding. It’s comforting in the respect that it confirms some of what Life Ionizers and Dr. Peter Kopko have been telling people for years. What Dr. B tells us is astounding in that it places a tremendous value on the healing powers of water.

Here are some of the statements he makes on the web site:

  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • Water and salt prevent and helps to 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.
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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!
  • Water prevents and helps to cure 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.
  • 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.


Do you know anybody that has these ailments? How much money do you think they’re spending on drugs to mask the symptoms instead of addressing the cure? Is it possible that if they simply drank more water they could be on their way to recovery? What if you introduced them to this information and Dr. B’s web site? You see, we can all be a part of the solution to many problems facing healthcare all over the world today.

Our politicians here in the U.S. are in Washington debating over how best to tackle the rising cost of healthcare. Many want to raise our taxes to fund a national healthcare program. Perhaps instead of forcing us to give them more out of our paychecks every week, they should force us to drink more water.

I ask you to do something today. Email this article to someone in poor heath. Email your congressperson and tell them to look into ways to educate the public on disease prevention. Buy a water ionizer for your home. Sit down with your kids tonight and tell them about the dangers of drinking carbonated soft drinks. Drink 64 ounces of fresh, clean water.

If you do just one of these things you’ll feel better. If you do them all you might save a life, become a part of the solution, add ten years to your life, give a gift to your children, and flush toxins from your system. Now that would be a good day.
