The water cure
Posted on 28th Aug, 2008 | (0) Comments

The Water Cure (TWC) does not sell water or purification systems or any related products.
We offer insights and information; both free and in books that give you easy-to-understand
scientific explanations on why water is vital to your well-being.

 

TWC believes promoting "water for health, for healing, for life" is an invaluable public
health message. We can all change the way we drink – by drinking pure, natural water
that is good for our health, our pocket book, and our environment. No miracles.
Just common sense backed by Dr. F. Batmaghelidj’s years of research and investigation
into why water works so well in keeping us healthy and pain free. It can even cure illness
in some people who get sick.

Water is the basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that move you
body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs that
provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center of your body is
76% water; even your bones are 25% water.

Our health is truly dependent on the quality and quantity of

the water we drink

Dr. B's pioneering work shows that Unintentional Chronic Dehydration (UCD) contributes
and even produces pain and many degenerative diseases that can be prevented
and treated by increasing water intake on a regular basis. If you are committed to a
healthy lifestyle, make drinking enough natural water a habit in you life. It won't
ake long for you to feel the benefit.

It is a free investment for your long-term health

The best thing is to drink water before food. Drink water half an hour before food
if you’re a heartburn sufferer. That is the best time because that water will go into
the stomach and then into the intestines and get absorbed. Then that water is
re-secreted entirely in the stomach, simultaneously priming the mucus membrane
to receive food, and, water is in the stomach to be used for liquefaction of food –
to break it, to prepare the food into smaller particles so they can be absorbed.

That is what water does. If you don’t drink water beforehand, the body doesn’t have
enough water that it can liberate for other activity. Any water that is in your body
is already engaged in an activity. You need fresh water for fresh activity.
If you’re introducing solid food, this is a fresh activity. You need fresh water to
dissolve it and break it down.

Basically, the major pains of the body, such as, heartburn, rheumatoid joint pain,
back pain, colitis pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia pain, even angina
pain are signs of dehydration in the human body. Where you have pain,
it’s showing that that area is dehydrated. The mechanism is very simple.
Toxic chemical waste builds up when you don’t drink enough water.

If there is not enough water to wash away the chemical toxic waste from an
area that is still active metabolizing, then toxic waste builds up. It is just like
the garbage collector not collecting the garbage that you are still creating
and putting it in front of the house to be cleared away. When that garbage
doesn’t get cleared away, in time it will become stagnant and it will
produce stench in your environment.

It is exactly the same in the environment of the cells in the body. When
there is activity, there is a build-up of toxic waste. If that waste is not cleared up,
the environment becomes pungent. It will become acidic and this acidic toxic
environment is sensed by the nerve endings in the area. The signal is sent to
the brain and the brain registers it with our conscious mind in the form of pain.

Pain means build up of toxic waste where you have the pain. All you need to
do is to wash that toxic waste by drinking more water, letting it circulate to the
area, clean the area, wash the toxic waste, bring it out into the circulation and
then pass it out through the kidneys or neutralize it in the liver or some of the
gases could be passed through the lungs. That’s what pain means. There are a
110 million Americans who have pain, not knowing that they didn’t drink
enough water to wash the toxic waste out of their body.

In allergies, because the body is short of water and histamine is acting in
drought management, the immune system is shut down and antibodies are
not produced. Antibodies are soldiers that defend the frontiers of the body.
Lung tissue is a frontier with an external environment – the nose and the eyes.
If offending pollen, which is a protein, hits these tissues, it must enter into the
system. It could cause damage.

Normally, antibody soldiers would be there to neutralize these offending
pollens, but in dehydration antibody soldiers are not active. They are not there.
The only alternative is to wash these particles away. That’s why when you get
an allergic reaction, your eyes begin to water and it washes the pollen out of
your eyes. Your nose will begin to water; it washes the pollen out of your nose
and will not allow it to go to the lung tissue. If you hydrate the body well,
antibody soldiers will be made and you will not be allergic.

The brain is 85 percent water and it lives in a salty lake. It is encased in a salty lake.
Cerebral spinal fluid is a very salty environment and in order to make it salty,
salt is pumped into this environment constantly. Salt is responsible for taking
acid out of the brain cells. There are nine trillion brain and nerve cells that
constantly chatter to one another.

They use up energy and there is toxic waste. There is acidity involved in the
toxic waste. Salt goes into the cell and pushes the acid out. And then this acid
is taken out of the system by a mechanism of pumping systems and taken to the
kidneys and flushed out. If we are short of salt and the toxic waste builds up in
the cell environment of the brain, then hydrogen iron acidity, which lowers the
pH making it more acidic, will eat away into the brain cell mechanism.

We’re told not to have salt because of the high blood

pressure

This is where medical science has gone wrong because the human body retains
salt in order to keep a body of water outside of the cells of the body. From this
body of water, which is called edema fluid, water is filtered and injected into the
vital cells. There is a reverse osmosis program that the body operates. The drier
the body becomes the higher the injection pressure has to be for the operation
of the reverse osmosis. This injection pressure is measurable and we call it hypertension.

This injection pressure force is needed in order to force water into the vital cells.
You take water and some salt and expand the volume of water outside of the cells
and allow water to get into the cells and this need for reverse osmosis that operates
across the board in the body is taken away and so the blood pressure drops.
So water and salt are better medications for lowering blood pressure.

Actually, quite a lot of elderly people who have a problem with bladder control,
and you know this is a major problem, are salt sufficient. If they increase their salt
intake, that bladder will retain its control.

Those are the two keys to health – water and salt which are provided for us by God
and by the Universe – are the universal healers that we’ve not been aware of.
If you had a chronic condition with asthma or allergies, this can reverse that situation
totally and cure it?

The information on dehydration is ground-breaking, but the explanations I’ve
been able to put together will educate people about dehydration. Basically it
will turn everyone into a healer of their own bodies and they in turn become
healers for others around them. This is how information is spread and how the
information is spreading so far.

I’m crusading to eradicate asthma from the list of human diseases within five
years by going around the country as I am here now and explaining that asthma
is a state of dehydration in the body. It is not a disease. Any time you begin to
adjust your water and salt intake, asthma will go away. And if you stop taking water
and salt, it will come back because that is your body’s blueprint of drought
management. It shuts down the lung tissue.

Diabetes is another sign of dehydration

The brain needs water, 85 percent water and it needs salt. If your body is short
of water and is low in salt, the body has to resort to make the blood a little more
sweet or sugar it for asthmatic purposes and also to shut down secretion of insulin.
Once insulin is secreted, it opens up the gates into all the cells and sugar will
rush in, other elements will rush in and water will rush in. Insulin is the key to
the gates for intake of elements into the cells of the body.

In dehydration, this key has to be inhibited because otherwise it will embarrass
the circulation. But the brain will receive both the water and the sugar that the
other cells are not receiving. In dehydration, the hydroelectric energy that water
will generate in the brain is diminished so it needs more sugar to convert into
energy elements.

So there is logic behind old age diabetes. Insulin dependent diabetes is one of
the autoimmune diseases which again are produced by dehydration.

Old age diabetes can be reversed completely and healed. It’s another drought
management program for the brain. People who are on insulin will benefit by
water and their need for insulin will diminish.

Medicine has based its understanding that it’s a solid matter in the body that
regulates all functions of the body. I have explained scientifically at the molecular
level that it is water that regulates all functions of the body including functions of
the solid matter. Without water, this solid matter is absolutely useless. It is water that
energizes and activates the solid matter.

Osteoporosis is another complication of dehydration

Water is the main source of energy for all physiological functions. As we grow older,
we lose our perception of thirst and we under-hydrate our body and we constantly are
waiting for our mouth to tell us that we are thirsty, which is wrong. When water is not
available and when the urge for intake of water builds in us, we confuse it with hunger.
Instead of drinking water, we go and eat. So, we overeat. We eat when the body wants
water. When we hydrate the body, energy is formed in the brain and water is the best
pick-me-up there is and the excess of it is thrown out. Excess water is thrown out.
When we have to eat to energize brain function, only 20 percent of that food reaches
the brain. The other 80 percent, unless we are athletes, will build up in the body in
the form of fat.

At a certain level, calcium in the bones and calcium stored in the body is a source
of energy. Each atom of calcium sticks to another atom of calcium to make up a
molecule of calcium which builds up until it becomes bone... each atom also stores
one unit of energy. The body has learned in low energy levels to tap into that energy.
The body has learned to break up this calcium bondage and take away the energy.

Loose calcium is built and is thrown out of the body. Gradually, as we tap into the
energy stored in the bone tissue, we discard the calcium itself and that’s how
osteoporosis begins. If you don’t want osteoporosis, drink water, take salt, take some
minerals. The body will retain calcium from the food you are taking. But without water,
no supplement will work. If you are taking calcium, make sure that you drink water
because when you drink water you will create energy, high heat of activation at the
cell membrane. And calcium has got the property of bonding to calcium when there
is heat. Calcium is a means of converting heat into usable energy.

You need basically 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt per quart of water. Sea salt contains
the other sea minerals, 84 different minerals in trace quantities which are vital.
A quarter teaspoon is 1-1/2 grams. One teaspoon is six grams. The body needs
basically three to four grams of salt a day. That is when you are taking 10 glasses
of water. If you are not taking the 10 glasses of water, a build up of salt intake will
gradually make you swell. You need to constantly measure yourself. If you suddenly
have gone up two or three pounds in two days, you have retained too much salt.
Just drink water, don’t take salt for one day and then continue the next day.

Any pain you have in your body, assume initially it is

due to dehydration. Pain in the body is a sign of

dehydration in 99 cases out of 100

You can take it any way that you want. This is a liberal method. You need to drink
water before your food, to have it available for the act of chewing, swallowing,
breaking down food, absorbing and metabolizing the particles. You need water
if you are exercising, before the exercise, because the exercise will expand your
vascular bed and you will sweat more and you become very quickly dehydrated.

So it is best to take water beforehand. You need water before you sleep because
for eight hours you are going to be drying up gradually. In the hot bed, you perspire.
Your vascular system expands. You breathe out a lot of water. You manufacture
urine even though you don’t evacuate it until the morning. So you are dehydrated by
first thing in the morning. The first thing in the morning, drink two glasses of water.
It’s the best laxative there is. Within a half hour, two to three glasses of water will
produce a better result if you are fully hydrated.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease

I use it as a model to explain why lupus is a dehydration-produced problem.
This is a new concept for autoimmune diseases that I’m presenting. Because
I believe in the paradigm shift and this can explain a whole lot of disease
conditions in the human body. I exercise that understanding of autoimmune
diseases explains how they arise as a result of dehydration.

Basically, we have the new knowledge that is going to be here, scientific
knowledge that is going to be here from now to eternity and all we have
to do is to build up on it. They spent 100 years of money and time researching
the solid matter. If they spent a quarter as much time and one-tenth as much
money on investigating dehydration, we will become a much healthier nation.
We will reduce our healthcare costs by at least 50-60 percent.

And age will become 120 years naturally.

Water is the most important thing on this planet. For life, it is more important
than anything you can imagine. The unfortunate thing is that sodas, colas and
caffeine-containing beverages don’t replace the water needs of the body.
Caffeine is a dehydrating substance. Dry cells are just like sponges. It takes
time for the water to get into them. Caffeine does not allow the water to stay
in the body long enough. Within an hour you will urinate more than the cup
of beverage that you drank.

How it all began

One late night at 11 pm, I followed a howl, a shrieking, a groan, an agony in
the corridor. I went to the source. And I found a young man in fetal position
on the floor, doubled up and just groaning. I asked him, “What’s the problem?”
He said, “My ulcer is killing me.” And he was right. It was killing him. And I said,
“What have you done for it?” He said, “I’ve taken three Tagamets and a whole
bottle of antacid and it hasn’t done any good.” I said, “When did it start?”
He said, “At one o’clock in the afternoon.”

For 10 hours he was in that position and no one could help him. I examined
his abdomen to see whether he had perforated. Fortunately, he had not.
And I gave him two glasses of water and sat next to him and observed him
for 10 minutes. He held it down. I went back and came back in another seven
minutes. He was not groaning anymore. He was far more alert. I gave him
another glass of water and then another. He opened his eyes, sat up and
was once again pain-free. Three glasses of water removed his pain in 20
minutes whereas the best, strongest medication that man had to offer couldn’t
do anything.

So you see water does have pain-relieving qualities. The medications weren’t
effective because they affect the local site. He was sensing his dehydration
inside his brain, at the brain level. Only water could produce the desired
effect to the brain. There are two levels of pain. One is peripheral understanding,
which pain killers could remove. Then there is the central nervous system level
of pain which no medication cures. And that’s why a lot of elderly people are
suffering despite all the medication they’re receiving. If these people begin to
drink water and regulate their salt intake they will be completely pain-free.

This is why I’ve seen the miracle of water. I see light at the end of this tunnel.
And yet I was trained at the best of medical schools and at no time do they tell
you that water is a medication. Water is a healer.

So when I use the word “cure,” I’m referring to curing dehydration. They call it
this disease or that. To me, they are states of dehydration.
So, I cure dehydration with water.
