Ally. I am somewhat puzzled that you seem to think that I have 'cured everyone' I have spoken to! Please don't exaggerate. It is not necessary. I haven't 'cured', nor do I claim to have 'cured' anyone. But I do have a very logical brain and what this Doctor - yes, he is a qualified Medical Doctor, trained at St Mary's Hospital Medical School of London University, says, makes perfect sense.
His theses and writings have been positively peer reviewed by the Medical Profession and he has given numerous talks and lectures about this. Across America, where he eventually settled, many MDs have embraced the 'Watercure' after the positive benefits they themselves have gained and now implement it within their own practices. He backs up his reasoning on this with very sound scientific argument that is very difficult, if not impossible to disprove.
Of course he earned money as a Doctor - there aren't many Doctors who don't, but apart from writing his books (and how else was he ever going to get it 'out there' if he didn't) he couldn't make money from it. He wasn't 'selling' anything other than the right of everyone to freely know about it. He didn't endorse any particular water other than good pure water, out of the tap if it is good enough, or salt other than real unrefined rock or sea salt that you can buy in your local supermarket or Health Store.
Few people, even many Doctors, would decry the fact that we really ought to be drinking more water. In fact my daughter took our youngest grandson to the Hospital today to the Pediatric Specialist because of enuresis issues, and was told not to give him any squash or juice or coke and plenty of pure water to drink! Was the Pediatric Specialist wrong???
Just because you do not believe this to be of any relevance, doesn't mean that you should dismiss it out of hand, or ridicule me because I believe it to be so. As far as 'cures' are concerned, I am only relating what I have seen myself, and have heard from others.
At risk of repeating myself once again, two liters of water is not excessive! Most people drink at least that amount in tea, coffee, coke, squash, juice, alcohol, whatever - anything but pure unadulterated water. Unfortunately, the body can't use much of what people drink and any water that is present is often largely used in the drinks' own processing!
The body expels around a litre of water per day in breathing, sweating and bowel movements. The kidneys use the other fluids we drink to help expel toxins from the body. The body needs pure water to cleanse the inside of the body.
We think that because we are drinking plenty and peeing well that everything is hunky dory. Yes, dark coloured urine is an indicator that there is an immediate dehydration issue, but it doesn't tell us about underlying dehydration. The dehydration that is behind things like constipation, allergies, asthma, headaches, arthritis, depression, chronic fatigue, weight gain and a host of other issues. No one has any other rational explanation for the cause of these issues - why on earth could it not be due to underlying dehydration???
Think about it. If you are constipated it is because the fecal matter has hardened and won't go through the tract properly. What does it need? Water. People take laxatives to try and help - what do they do? They generally draw water from the bloodstream into the colon to soften the poo and get it moving. What effect does that have though. It makes the blood more dehydrated! Surely, drinking more water would be just as effective (as I have discovered)?
Allergies are triggered by Histamine. Histamine is the sensor regulator of water metabolism and distribution in the body. The less water that is available, the more exaggerated becomes the histamine response. Dr. B found that as more water is consumed, the histamine response dies down and allergies abate. I have been drinking the water now for 10 days and no longer appear to react to gluten.
With Arthritis, he found through his 30-year studies and personal application with his patients that once rehydrated, the joints are restored and will be much improved. Dehydrated joints have cartilege that, instead of being plump and soft against the bone, is shriveled and rough. Why? Lack of water.
He warns against drinking excessively and points out that rehydration needs to be done over a period of time. It has taken time to develop the underlying dehydration. We won't make it go any faster by drinking more and as has been pointed out more than adequately, drinking too much is just as dangerous as not drinking enough. What is important though is that we drink water rather than other dehydrating beverages.
I am benefitting - my skin is softer and less wrinkled, my hair has stopped falling out, my eyes are brighter, not so dry and I am less tired, I am finally losing weight again after having got stuck for a long time, I am sleeping better, my digestion feels a bit better and my blood sugar is fantastic - 4.5 when I went to bed last night. I even cut down my daily dose of insulin again by another 4 units this evening and will be interested to see what it is tonight, and I no longer appear to be reacting to gluten - and all in just 10 days. Amazing.
My friend with asthma is benefitting - she would do anything to get rid of the debilitating hacking cough that not even the Ventolin could cure. In just 2 days the water has done what none of the drugs have achieved.
I have another friend who had adrenal insufficiency. She found the water and salt 'cure' through another route but has also benefitted and is a lot better. There are thousands out there who have benefitted in many different ways, just by swapping their normal drinks for pure unadulterated water.
Nobody really knows why people gain weight - especially those like me who have never overeaten. Nobody knows why some people become Diabetic. Nobody knows why people get asthma, or allergies, or depression, or chronic fatigue, or any one of many other illnesses. Yes, there are loads of theories floating around, but that is all they are.
Strange isn't it that people who up their water intake are suddenly able to shift weight that wouldn't move. Strange isn't it that my friends' asthma has radically improved. Strange that my hair has stopped falling out and my intolerance has gone.
Dr. B's scientifically backed concepts provide quite logical answers that no one else has thought of. I would much rather keep an open mind and put my money on dehydration.
