Back to Water – The Most Vital Nutrient

1. The Problem: Not recognizing heartburn as a sign of dehydration and treating it with antacids and pill medications could, in time, produce inflammation of the stomach and duodenum, hiatus hernia, ulceration, and eventually cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver and pancreas. Heartburn could be a signal of water shortage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is often 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 could continue to suffer as a result of its water shortage.

The Solution: Water could prevent and even cure heartburn.

2. The Problem: 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 could, in time, produce osteoarthritis when the cartilage cells in the joints have eventually all died. It may produce deformity of the spine. It may also produce crippling deformities of the limbs. And pain medications have their own life-threatening complications. 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.

The Solution: Water could prevent and cure arthritis.

3. The Problem: Suffering from lower back pain and alkalizing arthritis? Low back pain and ankalysing arthritis of the spine could be signs of water shortage in the spinal column and discs - the water cushions that support the weight of the body. These conditions could be initially treated with increased water intake.

The Solution: Water could prevent and cure back pain.

4. The Problem: Heart pain - angina may 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 is angina's cure. The Solution: Water could prevent and cure angina.

5. The Problem: Migraine headaches (if not accompanied by the usual symptoms that accompany migraines) could be a sign of a water need by the brain and the eyes. It could totally clear up if dehydration is prevented from establishing in the body.

The Solution: Water could prevent and cure migraines.

6. The Problem: Not recognizing colitis pain as a sign of dehydration can cause persistent constipation, which may lead to further complicating illnesses later in life. Colitis pain could be a signal of water shortage in the large intestine. 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.

The Solution: Water could prevent and cure colitis.

7. The Problem: It is wise to recognize that asthma could be an indicator of dehydration in the body of a growing child. Asthma, which affects millions of children every year, could be a complication of dehydration in the body. It may be caused by upsetting the body monitoring systems. 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 may prevent asthma attacks.

The Solution: Water and salt could prevent and cure asthma.

8. The Problem: 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 can, in time, cause blockage by cholesterol of the heart arteries and the arteries that go to the brain. It may cause heart attacks and small or massive strokes that paralyze. It can eventually cause kidney disease. It may also cause brain damage and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. 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!

The Solution: Water could prevent and even cure high blood pressure.

9. The Problem: Not recognizing adult-onset diabetes as a possible complication of dehydration may, in time, cause massive damage to the blood vessels all over the body. 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 could reverse adult-onset diabetes in its early stages.

The Solution: Water could prevent and cure early adult-onset diabetes.

10. The Problem: 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.

The Solution: Water lowers blood cholesterol.

11. The Problem: A few other water related issues are often caused by prolonged chronic dehydration. They may clear up once the body becomes well and regularly hydrated. In these conditions, muscle strengthening and aerobic exercises should be part of the treatment program.

The Solution: Water could assist in the treatment of depression, loss of libido, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy.
