When we become dehydrated, histamine sees to it that the available water in the body is well preserved and distributed according to a priority of function. The rate of histamine production in the human body increases exponentially when the body becomes more and more dehydrated.
Supplying the human body with water causes a disappearance of histamine from areas where it should not be present. With adequate water supply, histamine production, and its excess release, is inhibited proportionately. This relationship of water to histamine has been demonstrated in several animal experiments. It is now physiologically apparent that water by itself has very strong natural anti-histaminic properties.
Immune System Suppression
There are certain white cells that are sensitive to histamine and that strongly inhibit the activity of the immune system in the bone marrow. There are twice as many of these white cells as there are cells that stimulate the immune system. Thus, dehydration that can cause the production and release of more than a certain amount of histamine may, in the long run, suppress the body immune systems at its central command station, the bone marrow.
Since there is a greater-than-normal rate of histamine production and storage in prolonged dehydration, a stimulus for the release of histamine from its immune system side of activity will produce a greater quantity of its release into the tissues. Tissues are a group of cells. At the same time, antibody production and efficiency, which have already been suppressed because of dehydration, will be inadequate to deal with foreign agents such as pollen and other antigens. The enormity of this problem becomes apparent during the pollen season when the eyes get invaded with these foreign agents. The tear-producing glands need to wash the offending pollen away from the delicate membrane of the eye - the conjunctiva - since antibodies are not adequately available to neutralize the pollen. This is the reason why histamine activity for secretion of water onto the delicate membranes covering the eyes and the nasal passages becomes exaggerated.
It is a naturally installed need-driven response. So don't fight it with drugs/drug lotion. "Water wash" is the only way of getting rid of the offending pollen types that are not neutralized by antibodies. This is how allergy to pollen occurs.
If you were to ask me : "Do you mean to say I can prevent asthma and allergies by drinking more water?" my answer would be yes, yes, and yes again. First "yes" for asthma, second "yes" for allergies, and final "yes" for more water. You can do it naturally, with no medication and at no cost. That is the difference between the solid paradigm ,drug-approach, from the solvent paradigm, water-cure approach. Water will do it because of the primary role of histamine in water regulation and drought management of the human body. Again, you are not sick, but your body is just thirsty and dehydration had set in. So just drink water and rehydrate yourself.
It is now clear that chronic dehydration is the primary cause of allergies and asthma in the human body. Increased water intake - on a habit-forming, regular basis - should become the treatment of choice.
In those people who have attacks of asthma or allergic reactions to different pollens or foods, strict attention to adequate daily water intake, with addition of some salt (recommend sea-salt), should become a preventive measure.
People who suffer from allergies and asthma will also have other indicators of dehydration. They will definitely develop other very serious health problems if they do not take their bodies' need for regular intake of water seriously. If you have any doubts about this information, read Andrew Bauman's letter, which was posted in this Healthy Wealth blog.
If you suffer from allergies and asthma, you MUST begin by drinking water, enough for your present body weight, on regular basis. And do not drink other products such as coffee, sodas, colas, alcohol, tea which can 'rod' the water from your body. You SHOULD stop taking caffeine .
Those with normal heart and kidney functions should begin drinking two glasses of water a half hour (30 minutes) before each meal, and one glass of water two and a half hours after the meal. When you increase your water intake, you also need to increase your daily salt (recommend sea-salt for cooking) intake to make up for the salt lost during increased urine production. Read more about salt found in this Healthy Wealth blog.
Fortunately for Andrew Bauman, he discovered the medicinal effects of water and salt and is still alive. He has reversed the variety of problems produced by dehydration, save one condition that is gradually improving. Mr. Bauman's case history highlights the serious implications of allergies during childhood, which can lead to the development of serious diseases later in life if positive steps are not taken to hydrate the body, drink water, adequately.

How Dehydration starts body diseases?
Reduction Of Thirst Sensation.
The human body has an ability to adapt to some hardship. Low food intake and temporary shortage of water in the body seem to invoke an adaptive process. The essential functions of the human body are managed until we have access to food and water.
In this process, the sensation of thirst can be confused with the feeling of hunger, because both sensations are similar in the way they register - they stem from low energy levels in the brain. This is one of the main contributing factors in the development of obesity in the young and the old. They mistakenly eat food to satisfy their thirst sensation.
They seem to respond to both natural calls - thirst and hunger - as if they are only hungry. They, do not know better, begin to eat until the thirst sensation gathers greater strength as a result of the additional load of solid food within the system, and only then do they drink some water, alas, many are drinking coke, or soda,or coffee, or canned drinks during meal time, which only lead to the end results of more acidic and dehydration state later. This type of thirst satisfactions is not enough for the urgent needs of the body, but is just enough to fall inside the body's limit of temporary adaptation to water shortage.
In this way, the water shortage in the human body becomes a steadily expanding chronic state, and new thresholds of adaptation are forced on the body. This process results in a slowly deteriorating loss of thirst sensation, so much so that the need for regular water intake as a sensation gradually becomes forgotten.
DO NOT TAKE ANY ANTI HISTAMINE DRUGS! Why? if you ask. By the way if your doctor disagree with this warning, ask the same doctor, whether the glass of water or the pills is actually doing the real work in the dehydrated body. You can share with the doctor about water-cure protocol formula or http://theinnozablog.blogspot.com
Histamine can act as temporary substitute for water by releasing energy for some extremely sensitive body functions, like respiration. In this way, the human body can survive some dehydration. Observe this event during the fasting month,Muslim's month of Ramadan, the followers cease eating and drinking any thing from sunrise till sunset, estimated to be about twelve hours.
It seems the human body begins to rely on the emergency functions of histamine and allow dehydration to continue. Still, no matter how useful the possession of these emergency powers, dehydration is damaging to some less-used functions of the human body. Gradually establishing chronic dehydration produces constant changes, initially in the physiology and eventually in the chemistry of the body. The human body begins to survive on the constant verge of failure.
The histamine-operated centers of the brain seem to recognize the levels of water that enter the body. (The tongue is sensitive to both the taste and nano-weight of food and water. Your finger tip fail to sense one hair which your tongue can easily sense it. Water molecule, hydrogen 2 & oxygen 1, is 1 nanometre in size; hydrogen atom is 0.1 nanometre in size. Typically, an atomic radius is measured in nanometres [1/1,000,000,000 of a metre])If sufficient water enters the human body, the active histamine centers gradually become disengaged from their full-time responsibility as water regulators. The engagement of histamine in drought management and its substitution for some energy-transforming functions of water decrease and are eventually phased out. It seems that the human body begins to realize there is no water shortage and becomes more alert to and conscious of its call for water - it begins to understand and manifest thirst. It seems to me that the loss of the thirst sensation is an adaptive process to false information that water is not available because we don't drink water it. Not enough water.
If the human body is once again conditioned to regular and adequate water intake, daily, however, the thirst sensation becomes sharp and the urge to drink water becomes strong. Just like new born babies, which cries for water not regarding the time of the day or night. Just a suck or two of water satisfy their small size bodies. Remember every one (1) kilogram of body weight, need 31.42 ml of water, daily. Keep the air-conditioned room within 25 degree to prevent dry-evaporation respiration.
The body begins to indicate water shortage more forcefully. The rehydration of the cells takes place slowly. The cells of the body are just like sponges - they get soaked slowly. Please do not imagine the human body will become optimally hydrated after just the first glass or two of water drinking. The water that is taken will not immediately enter all the cells. Upon regular and adequate intake of water, the process of full hydration of the cells will take a few days.
The water volume inside and outside the cells of the body needs to be in balance. Remember that salt (sodium) regulates the water levels outside the cells. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium are the vital minerals that balance the water volume inside the cells. These minerals are found plenty and in harmony proportion in all fresh raw fruits and vegetables. Eat them every day, and you need not any supplements.
Dr David McCurron of the Department of Nephrology at Oregon Health Science University, Portland, found that with adequate daily intake of potassium, calcium, and magnesium, not only will salt (sodium) not raise blood pressure, it might actually lower it. Alas, not many doctors in our country know about this fact, hence, they just ignorantly advised patients with high blood pressure to cut down salt intake in their daily diet, which is counter-productive.
Additional information we need to remember is that five(5) elements - water, salt,potassium, magnesium, and calcium - are involved in energy regulation inside the cells. Water drives the sodium potassium pump protein and manufactures hydroelectricity. When any athlete's body is lack of salt, he/she will experience muscle cramps. This hydro-electricity is used for immediate needs, and the excess of it is converted to usable stored energy for emergency use. Calcium is bonded to other calcium in bones and in the endoplasmic reticulum inside the cells. Osteoporosis is due to prolonged dehydration and the body self-sacrifice the bone calcium for survival, hence we see Dowager's Hump (exaggerated kyphosis). Furthermore, not everyone who develops the classic dowager's hump has vertebral osteoporosis. Some of this abnormal posture probably relates to other degenerative diseases. And dehydration always starts body degenerative process, long before most doctors can pick up its sign to give it a label or name it, as disease. They are not genetic inherited disease, but non-water-drinking lifestyle dis-ease leading to established diseases.
Each bonded calcium atom traps one unit of energy that can be reused if necessary. Magnesium traps many units of energy in the form of magnesium ATP.
As you can see, the mystery of essential hypertension , asthma, allergies, and many other self-inflicted dehydration dis-ease(s) is solved. It is superflous to remind people where and what to eat in order to have enough amount of these five basic elements: fresh raisins, potatoes, avocados, lima, beans, peas, tomatoes,cauliflower, bananas, wholesome wheat, oranges, grapefruits, apricots, eggs, etc.
Also iodine is very important element for the regulation of the fluid content of the human body. It is vital for good health and good fluid balance.Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to manufacture thyroxin, its primary hormone. Thyroxin is the element that stimulates the cells to manufacture all the pump proteins that regulate the sodium, potassium, and other mineral balances outside and inside the cells, and that generate energy in the process.
With the movement of sodium and potassium across the cell membrane, not only will water also move to balance the osmotic pressure in and out of the cell, but the other mineral-transferring pumps will take their cue and regulate the magnesium, potassium, and calcium levels of the cell interior as well. Now we know better, it is WATER that started it all for energy generation in the body cells, and not just those minerals per se, so I hope you be wiser now and no longer be duped into buying and swallowing more mineral-supplements in order to be healthy wealth again.
Only when we realize what damage dehydration can cause will we take seriously the need for strict adherence to hydrating (drinking water for) the body regularly and well. The quantity and timing of water daily intake is very important.
Everyone knows water is essential. What is not fully realized is what happens when the human body is not provided with adequate water on regular basis. Also, what is meant by the "the body begins to survive on the constant verge of failure"?

ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES
Let's hope this revision on asthma and allergies will enlighten more people about the real cause and remedy, for good.
What is asthma?
It is said people have asthma when they become short of breath, without any warning, to the point of nearly suffocating. Several thousand people die from suffocation due to asthma every year.
Sometimes the onset of asthma is associated with repeated dry coughs with each breath. There is always an associated wheezing when exhaling, without an apparent infection in the lungs.
Asthma affects more than 18 million Americans, mostly children. Asthma and allergies are the human body's crisis calls for water. They denote a state of dehydration in the human body. They herald continuing degeneration of the body until other complications of dehydration get established and can cause early death.
THE PRIMARY DROUGHT-MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE-MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
From the vantage point of the new medical science, the following conditions should be considered labels placed on the physiological processes in the human body that denote a form of rationing and resource management when there is a limited supply of free water and other primary elements in the human body:
1.Asthma
2.Allergies
3.Hypertension, or high blood pressure
4.Type 2 diabetes
5.Constipation
6.Autoimmune diseases
If you don't drink water regularly every day of your life, and don't understand the significance of pain, shortness of breath, and allergies as signs of dehydration, you will force your body into a disease stage. Any of the above conditions will herald the beginnings of body decay produced by local or general water shortage and the associated chemical environmental changes.
Reversal of autoimmune conditions is not easy and not always possible. TO reverse them requires an in-depth understanding of the importance of the acid-alkaline balance and the metabolic aspects associated with dehydration, such as the loss of a range of amino acids, insufficient absorption or loss of vital minerals like zinc and magnesium, and the absolute need for essential vitamins and fatty acids.
My experience and research tell me that the human body possesses a number of highly sophisticated emergency thirst signals. We need to be aware of these newly identified indicators of water shortage in our body. All you may need to do to cure some of your health problems is drink water instead of other fluids. Free water availability for the body is the key, not bonded-water as ingredients in beverages,colas, sodas, alcohol, 'sporty-designer-drinks', etc.
Question: What has all this got to do with asthma?
Answer: Asthma and allergy - conditions mainly treated with different kinds of antihistamine medications - are important indicators of dehydration in the human body. It is not the house dust mites which is (assumed) responsible for asthma sign/symptom, neither were these bugs (again assumed) are the 'culprits' behind half of all allergies worldwide.
Histamine is an important neurotransmitter that primarily regulates the thirst mechanism, for increased water intake. Some people also mistaken thirst signal for hunger signal and they eat more often than required and gain extra weight. Histamine also establishes a system of rationing for the available water in the drought- stricken body.
Histamine is the most noble element employed in drought management of the human body. Histamine is not the 'villain' that we have been led to believe due to our limitation of knowledge about the human body.
In dehydration, histamine production and its activity increase greatly, and this generates the emergency thirst signals and indicators of the water-rationing program that is taking place. Increased histamine release in the lungs causes spasms of the bronchioles, making them constrict. This natural spasmodic action of histamine on the bronchial tube is part of the design of the human body to conserve water that normally evaporates during breathing - the winter "steam." Average adult lose average of 1 liter of water just by respiration, and more water is lost during colder weather. Bear in mind that water is also used by the body to create heat energy to maintain the core body temperature (37.6*Celsius)for inner organs optimal and normal functions. Hot or warm drinks do not raise the core temperature of the body. You sweat after hot drink because the body is cooling (lowering) the core temperature through evaporation of heat via sweat.
In dehydration, lung tissue becomes very vulnerable. The air sacs in the lungs have very thin walls and need water to keep them moist at all times. Yes, during the hottest or coldest weather. The constant flow of air through these air sacs also evaporates the available water in their lining.Dehydration automatically reduces the amount of available water in these tissues and causes damage, unless the rate of airflow is reduced .
In essence, this is the rationale behind the blockage of airflow through the lungs in asthmatics. They are not sick, or 'attacked' by dust-mites, or virus, or bugs as we are led to believed by the doctors/specialist, but they are thirsty, more correctly put, prolonged-dehydrated.
Histamine is responsible for cutting down the rate of airflow through the lungs. It causes constriction of the bronchioles that are attached to the air sacs. Histamine also stimulates the production of added amounts of thick and viscous mucus that partially plug the bronchioles and protect the lining of the bronchioles themselves.
All these actions , in natural process, of histamine in dehydration are carried out to protect the delicate passageway of the human body that are in direct contact with the outside air and could easily become dried up and parched if not protected.
More can be said about histamine,later.
If any scientist want to test the reality of the first-cause of asthma, just increase the water intake of the patient and not change the house environment of house/duct mites(if any). Compare the same with an increase of water intake and reduce the antihistamine drugs(if any). The positive result will prove the point that it is the water that will cause the over-production of histamine to return to normal and the the wheezing asthma is gone, naturally.
Hope the CEO of A*Star (Singapore)can have a review in this discovery of water-cure protocol formula. Watch this and You Be The Judge, http://www.watercure2.org/Video/tlv/flv/YBTJ%20WATER%20CURE.htm (Source: www.watercure2.com )

Vaccines for Asthma ?
Under science section of The Straits Times Saturday, April 25 2009 Page D8 & D9, Liaw Wy-Cin (wycin@sph.com.sg)highlighted some scientific research work, which is funded (SGD$ 36 million,four-four projects have been awarded)by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star).
1.COUGHing up a cure for asthma: Professo, Chua Kaw Yan is trying to find a vaccine for the illness by studying dust mites. She is a specialist in children's diseases, examining a vaccine specimen for dust mite allergy, responsible for 80 per cent of asthma cases worldwide. She has just won A*Star grants for three research projects involving dust mites.
Note: that the simple fact remains, as the children bodies physiology increases with the multiplication of more various body cells, the demand for more water has been neglected by parents/health-care giver, hence, dehydration set in at early age and cause asthma and allergies. This signs/symptoms are then complicated and effects compounded with more drugs prescriptions, until they pay attention closely with their water intake and proportional sea-salt intake. It is not the dust mite or other foreign agents/virus that first caused (etiology)asthma or allergies, but the body physiology mechanism has been compromised due to cellular dehydration and these additional agents only trigger the sign / symptom. The children/adults who are still suffering from asthma/allergies can only be help when they increase and monitor their daily water intake. They are not sick, as per se, defined by present mainstream definition which underlying paradigm which is based on "solid" paradigm. Unless the research team change or shift to "solvent" paradigm, they are just wasting their time and efforts, and the grants awarded. Period.
2.Scientists to study natural cancer buster: Dr Koichi Okumura,45, (from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, which comes under the National University of Singapore) has just received a grant that will allow him to study the role of a tumour suppressor in the human body known a Pten (pronounced as "p-ten")."Hopefully, this will open the door to new drugs, but this will still be another 10 years away," he said.
Note: Cancer is a compromised lifestyle disease, and he logical way to help people is to educate the public about natural eating, water drinking, and normal lifestyle. Drugs Kill: Water Cure simplify all the jargon in the present entrepreneur's medical communities.
3.Hunt for drug-resistant TB genes: More tuberculosis (TB) patients are growing resistant to a key TB drug. Doctors do not know patients have a more virulent strain of the bug until they see that regular medicines have no effect.
Note: When human body over time is deprive of natural ingredients for normal physiology process, it is capable to survive another day by natural alteration of DNA. This phenomena is then detected by the researcher and just given a new term - virus. Now the self-illusion begins: look for anti-virus/ vaccine, while the body is still seek for the natural ingredients to survive, not drugs, but water is the main and major ingredient for all life restoration. Dehydration leads to inflammation, in turn lead to infection, in turn lower the natural immune systems and in turn alter the DNA:; all these surviving mechanism are imbeded right in the DNA. Genome study will not solve the public sickness until the nature wisdom is acknowledged and followed. Honesty is the first chapter in the book of medicine wisdom. Not innovation, creativity or capitalism.
4.Cholesterol drugs may fight cancer: Professor Shazib (National University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine) has just worn a grant to study drugs, statin (simvastatin),over three years. "The study can help us understand the mechanisms of how cancer is formed and to assess the potential use of statins to prevent or treat breast cancer," he said.

5.Diabetes, which affects about 13 per cent of adults in Singapore, is the most common cause of blindness here. Narrow blood vessels in retina could be a sign of kidney failure. The Singapore Eye Research Institute (Seri) will need up to SGD$20 million yearly to run, double its current budget, said its new head, Professor Wong Tien Yin, 41.
Note: In brief, diabetes is due to over time of water and salt shortage in one's daily lifestyle. Not all liquid drinks can be used by the body as water.
1.COUGHing up a cure for asthma: Professo, Chua Kaw Yan is trying to find a vaccine for the illness by studying dust mites. She is a specialist in children's diseases, examining a vaccine specimen for dust mite allergy, responsible for 80 per cent of asthma cases worldwide. She has just won A*Star grants for three research projects involving dust mites.
Note: that the simple fact remains, as the children bodies physiology increases with the multiplication of more various body cells, the demand for more water has been neglected by parents/health-care giver, hence, dehydration set in at early age and cause asthma and allergies. This signs/symptoms are then complicated and effects compounded with more drugs prescriptions, until they pay attention closely with their water intake and proportional sea-salt intake. It is not the dust mite or other foreign agents/virus that first caused (etiology)asthma or allergies, but the body physiology mechanism has been compromised due to cellular dehydration and these additional agents only trigger the sign / symptom. The children/adults who are still suffering from asthma/allergies can only be help when they increase and monitor their daily water intake. They are not sick, as per se, defined by present mainstream definition which underlying paradigm which is based on "solid" paradigm. Unless the research team change or shift to "solvent" paradigm, they are just wasting their time and efforts, and the grants awarded. Period.

Who knows? (2)
The correct answer to whether this world would go on without us is :
"Who knows?"
(click to review http://theinnozablog.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-knows.html )
In Christianity, the Earth melts, but a new one is born. Since it needs no sun, figuratively speaking, - the eternal light of God and the Lamb (Lord Jesus Christ) having eliminated night, figure of speech - it's clearly a different planet than this one.
Since the late 19th Century, when, beginning with electrons, we got down to manipulating the most fundamental particles of the universe, human life has changed very fast. Alas, not for the better.
One measure of how fast is that, barely a century (100 years) ago - until Marconi's wireless and Edison's phonograph - all the music ever heard on Earth was live performance. Today, 2009 A.D., a tiny fraction of 1 percent is. The rest, i.e.,99 percent is electronically reproduced or broadcast, along with a trillion words and images each day. Welcome to Internet! Or be caught in the electronic-spider-web!
Those radiowaves don't die - like light, they travel on. Speak kind words today, for we have to swallow them one day. The human brain also emanates electric impulses at very low frequencies (8 Heartz): similar to, but far weaker than, the radio waves used to communicate with submarines.
Paranormalists, however, insist that our minds are transmitters that, with special effort, can focus like lasers to communicate across great distances, and even make more things happen. That may seem far-fetched, for some readers, though, but it's also a definition of prayer. A pray-er is a religious person who prays prayers for things to happen.
Experiment on yourself: think about these words and say to yourself or for somebody you know. Joy, natural, bliss, happy, laughter fun, cheerful, life's healthy, gleeful, delight, hearty, simple, deliciously tasty, dreamy, variety, heavenly bliss, refreshing, pleasure, goodness, enjoy, carefree, smile, friendly, celestial peaceful.
The emanation from our brains, like radio waves, must also keep going - where? Space is now described as an expanding bubble, but that architecture is still a theory. Reality is when the time-dimension and space-dimension merged as one. Along its great mysterious interstellar curvatures, perhaps it's not unreasonable to think that our thought waves might eventually find their way back here.
Or even that one day - long after we're gone, unbearably lonely for the beautiful world from which we so foolishly banished ourselves - we, or our memories, might surf home aboard a cosmic electromagnetic wave to haunt our beloved Earth. Welcome Home again, the second time !
Like a gap in the forest when a giant tree falls, new growth will rush in. Gradually, the asphalt jungle will give way to a real one.
The pockets of wild palm nut trees deep in the Amazon, or of the durian* fruit trees in virgin forest of Borneo, or of tea trees in Burma's jungles, aren't accidents. Once, humans were there too. The wilderness swallowed them and their memory, but its shape still bears their echo. As will Garden of Eden in Jerusalem, East of Eden.

The Primary Properties and
Functions of Water in the Human Body
Water, water here, water there,
water above, water below, water everywhere,
yet not enough did we drink.
Water inside, water outside, water everywhere,
still our bodies did shriek and shrink.
[shriek, verb, to make a very high, loud sound, shriek with joy/pain/fright etc; shrink, verb, to become smaller or to make something smaller through the effects of heat or water; to become smaller in amount,size or value]
1. Water is the bulk material that fills empty spaces in the human body. There is no vacuum in between cells.
2. Water is the vehicle of transport for the circulation of blood cells.
3. Water is a solvent for the materials that dissolve in it, including oxygen. Those who never drink enough water over time will surely develop respiration disease.
4. Water is the adhesive that binds solid parts of the cell together. Just as ice has sticky effect, so water seems to become sticky at the cell membrane. It is responsible for holding things together (integrity) and forming a membrane or protective barrier around the cell.
5. The neuro-transmission system of the human brain and nerves depend on rapid movement of sodium and potassium in and out of the membrane along the full length of the nerves. Stroke is caused by water deficiency. Water that is loose and not bonded with something else is free to move across the cell membrane and turn the element-moving pumps.
6. Some of the element-moving pumps are voltage-generating pumps. Thus, efficiency of neuro-transmision systems depends on the availability of free and unengaged water in the nerve tissues. All beverages are 'engaged liquid' and not free & unengaged water for the body to use; in fact, these processed drinks further tax the existing water from the body systems, hence produce a dehydration effect.
In its osmotic urge to get into the cell, water generates energy by turning the pump units that force potassium into the cell and push sodium outside the cell - just as water turns the turbines at a hydro-electric dam (reservoir) to make electricity.
The error of "solid" paradigm explain: up to now, however, it has been assumed that all energy storage in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - the substance that "burns" and gives out "heat" to "cook" any of the chemical reactions required for the cell to function - is from food intake. This is why water ,"solvent" paradigm ,has not received much attention as a source of energy in the energy-generating systems in the human body. But, eventually growing number of common-sense readers are waking up to this discovery of "solvent" paradigm and has experience the water-cure effects for their own health.
7. Water is the central regulator of energy and osmotic balance in the body. Sodium and potassium stick to the protein of the pump and act as the "magnet of the dynamo" when water rotates the pump proteins. The rapid turn of these cation (pronounced cat-i-on)pumps generates energy that is stored at many different locations in three different pool types.
a.ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) is one type of energy storage pool.
b.Another energy storage pool is guanosine tri-phosphate (GTP).
c.A third system is in the endoplasmic reticulum hat captures and traps calcium . For every two units of calcium that are trapped, the energy equivalent of one unit of ATP is stored in the connection of the two calcium atoms. For every two units of calcium that are separated from one another and released, one unit of energy - to make a new unit of ATP - is also released. This mechanism of calcium entrapment as a means of energy storage makes the bones structure of the human body not only its scaffolding but also its Fort Knox - like investment of your cash in gold reserve. Hence, when there is severe dehydration - and consequently a decreased supply of hydroelectric energy - the body taps into the bones for their stored energy. Thus, the primary cause, etiology, of osteoporosis is persistent dehydration.
8. The foods we eat are the products of energy conversion from the initial electrical-energy-generating property of water. Fresh fruit is always better energy generating food compared to dried fruits; simple reason being the presence of 'distilled-water' found in fresh fruits.
All living and growing species, human included, survive as a result of energy generation from water. One major problem in the scientific evaluation of the human body is the lack of understanding of the magnitude of our body's dependence on energy from hydroelectricity.
For instance, during the first few months of pregnancy, any mother-to-be who neglected the need to increase water intake as the fetus grows, will experience 'morning-sickness', back-pain, or nausea's feeling, all these are sign/symptoms of body 'crying' for more free water due to the multiplication of cells and increased demand for energy. As the body weight increases, the water intake should be increased accordingly.
Drink at least 10% of your own daily water-quota (31.42 ml multiply by your present body weight(kg), every 90 minutes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet, for every 1250 ml water drank.
Pain is a sign/signal produced by dehydration in the human body. Pain may be common but it is not normal.
9. The electricity produced at the cell membrane also forces the nearby proteins to align themselves and get ready for their chemical reactions.
Blood is normally about 94 percent water when the body is fully hydrated (red cells are actually "water bags" that contain the colored hemoglobin). Inside the cells of the body, there should ideally be about 75 percent water. Because of this difference in water levels outside and inside the cells, an osmotic flow of water into the cells normally occurs. Diffusion. There are hundreds of thousands of voltage-generating pumps units at the cell membranes, much like the turbines used in hydroelectric dams-reservoir. The water that flows through them rotates these pumps. This rush of water creates hydroelectric energy. At the same time, and as part of the same process, elements such as sodium and potassium are exchanged. This we can see the reason , why professional endurance sportsmen like marathoners, tri-athletes, drink saline-water, or take in banana (being rich in potassium and carbohydrates),during the race. Muscle cramps is due to insufficient of water and sodium , hence the conversion of energy is compromised and muscle tissue failed to receive energy to continue on performing, and muscle twist.
Only water that is free and can move about - the water you drink - generates hydroelectric energy at the cell membrane. Coffee, alcohol, milk, tea, colas, beverages, though used water as part of their ingredients, is not free-water to be ready used by the body.
The previously supplied water that is now busy with other functions cannot leave its binding position to rush elsewhere. This is why water by itself should be considered the most suitable pick-me-up beverage and should be consumed at regular intervals during the day. If you should wake up to urinate during mid-night, it is good for the body if you drink one glass of water and then continue your sleep. Remember that it is not the long uninterrupted sleep-hours that determine the quality rest, but the availability of free-water during the sleep which decide the body is recharged promptly with energy for the morning. And you know that infant never care what time it is to ask for another sip of water, he/she just cries loud until the thirst signal is answered with water; not every cry is for milk,though.
The good thing about water as a source of energy is the fact that any excess water is passed out of the body. It manufactures the needed energy to top up the reserves in the cells (trillion of them) and then leaves the body (carrying with it the toxic waste of the cells). It is not stored. Body wisdom from the Wise Creator!
When there is dehydration because a person is not drinking enough water (for one's own body weight), the cells become depleted of their ready energy. They then have to depend more on energy generation from food that is consumed instead of water. In this situation, the human body is pushed into storing fat and using its protein and starch reserves, because it is easier to break these elements down than the stored fat. Bear in mind that water is also needed to break down fats for energy. Due to this natural fact, many overweight people grow to be obese, eating more sweet stuff for energy, but neglect the fresh free-water to solve their energy-crisis, and later health-crisis. Their bodies are engaged in perpetual crisis management of dehydration. These people need our simple help: they are not 'sick', they are thirsty and dehydrating. Share with them the water-cure protocol formula and help them regain the quality of health and life.
The word hydrolysis (loosening, dissolving, breaking, or splitting by the participating action of water ) is used when water becomes involved in the metabolism of other materials. Activities that depend on hydrolysis include the breakdown of a protein into the different amino acids that have been used to make that particular protein, and the breakdown of large fatty particles into smaller fatty acid units. Without water, hydrolysis cannot take place. It follows, then, that the hydrolytic function of water also constitutes the metabolism of water itself.
Water metabolism is never taught or emphasized in many medical schools and hence graduated young doctors-to-be , alas, also never quite understand the water healing primary properties and functions when they are told about water-cure protocol formula cure many incurable diseases (which is actually dehydration-dis-ease manifestation)
What this means is that water itself needs to be broken down first - hydrolyzed - before the human body can use the various components in food. This is why we need to supply body with plain water before we eat solid foods. 30 minutes prior to meal time, drink one glass of water. And avoid drinking tea, coffee, sodas, cola, after meal, for these drinks will further overload the digestion system beside its dehydrating effects.

MonoSodium Glutamate taste 'good'?
How to Avoid MSG silent killing.
Mono sodium glutamate (MSG) is one of the most common and hazardous food additives on the market. MSG is reportedly more toxic than alcohol, tobacco and many drugs. MSG is an excitotoxin, so it tricks your brain into wanting to eat more and more foods containing the ingredient, even if you are already full. Side effects of MSG include: obesity, eye damage, headaches, depression, fatigue and disorientation. Food manufacturers know that health-conscious consumers try to avoid MSG, so it is oftentimes not listed in a product's ingredients. MSG is banned in organic foods.
Here's a list of ingredients that ALWAYS contain MSG:
Autolyzed Yeast -- Calcium Caseinate -- Gelatin Glutamate -- Glutamic Acid -- Hydrolyzed Protein -- Monopotassium Glutamate -- Monosodium Glutamate -- Sodium Caseinate -- Textured Protein -- Yeast Extract -- Yeast Food -- Yeast Nutrient

Who knows?
If that most wondrous of all human creations - a child - is never more to roll and play on the green Earth, then what really would be left of us?
What of our spirit might be truly immortal?
What will remain of our greatest creative forms of human expression?
One day, perhaps, we will learn to control our appetites, or our duplication rates.
More crucial to us still here on Earth, right now, is whether we humans can make it through what many scientists call this planet's latest great extinction - make it through, and bring the rest of Life with us rather than tear it down.
The natural history lessons we read and understand in both the fossil and the living records suggest that we can't go it alone for very long.

WARNING: Following discourse is for religious inclined readers only. Atheist (or Earthiest) or free-thinker are welcome to explore too.
Various religions offer us alternative futures, usually elsewhere, although Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (in alphabetically order only) mention a messianic reign on Earth lasting, depending on whose version, somewhere from seven to 7,000 years. Since these would apparently follow events that result in severe population reduction of the unrighteous, this might be feasible.
However, since these three religious disagree about who are the righteous, to believe any one of them requires an act of faith. Science offers no criteria by which to pick survivors other than evolution of the fittest, and into every creed are born similar percentages of stronger and weaker individuals.
As to the fate of the planet - Earth and its other residents after we're finally done with it - or it's done with us - religions are dismissive, or worse.
The post-human Earth is either ignored or destroyed, although in Buddhism and Hinduism, it starts again from scratch - as does the whole universe, similar to a repeating 'Big Bang theory.'
The correct answer to whether this world would go on without us is : "Who knows?"
What of our spirit might be truly immortal?
What will remain of our greatest creative forms of human expression?

Can we?
Worldwide, every four(4) days human population rises by one(1) million. However Faustian, the trans-humanist (sometimes called post-human) movement's discussion is compelling in its lure of immortality and preter-natural power - and almost touching in its utopia faith that a machine could be made so perfect that it would transcend entropy.
Question: Is there any one who has ever built a machine that is aware of itself? : without being able to feel, a supercomputer might calculate rings around us, but still never be able to think about its place in the world.
There is a chasm between mere objects and life-forms.
A more fundamental flaw, though, is that no machine has performed indefinitely without human maintenance. Even stuff without moving parts breakdown, and self-repair programs crash.
Salvation, in the form of back up copies, could lead to a world of robots desperately trying to stay one clone up on the latest technology to which competitive knowledge was migrating - an all - consuming form of tail chasing that hearkens to the behaviour of monkeys, who undoubtedly have more funs.

What is Life?
1.If you get cancer, the best thing to do is to go without care because you are never certain of getting cured, but you are certain that it will financially ruin your family. That is common fear many poor citizen have about unaffordable health care.
But, then again, being poor in financial standing has its blessings in disguise, for there are many poor peasants who outlived their own doctors whose prognosis's didn't come to pass, because being poor, they turned to the nature for last resort of hope and they were helped. The LORD causes the fruits and vegetables(herbs) for man to cultivate, for the service of men, that he may derive sustenance from the land.(Psalm 104:14)(Genesis 1:29)
2. The firmament is blue-water forever,
and the Earth will long stand firm and bloom spring.
But, man, how long will you live?
Let's Imagine Together ...
3.When we are down to eating our predecessors, what is left?
Embryonic stem cells Therapy is just present day advanced-cannibalism. Even if we're not driven to cannibalism, might we, too, face terrible choices as we skulk toward the future?
4.A generation ago, humans eluded nuclear annihilation; with grace, we'll continue to dodge that and other mass terrors. But now we often find ourselves asking whether inadvertently we've poisoned or parboiled the planet, ourselves included.
We've also used and abused water and soil so that there's a lot less of each, and trampled thousands of species that probably aren't coming back.
Our present world, some respected voices warn, could one day degenerate into something resembling a vacant lot, where crows and rats, if still survive, scuttle among weeds, preying on each other. If it comes to that, at what point would things have gone so far that, for all our vaunted superior intelligence, we're not among the hardy survivors?
The truth is, we don't know. Perhaps, you do, then share in the "comment box" below. Any conjecture gets muddled by our obstinate reluctance to accept that the worst might actually occur.
We may be undermined by our survival instincts, if those instincts dupe us into waiting until it's too late, that' bad and sad too. If they fortify our resistance in the face of mounting omens or woes, that is good.
More than once, crazy, stubborn hope has inspired creative strokes that snatched people from ruin.
5.It is never too late or too early to revise and be wise again for the rest of our journey.......
Use Water-cure. Rather be thankful for the timely warning, and do something about it.
Drink at least 10% of your own daily water-quota (31.42 ml multiply by your present body weight(kg), every 90 minutes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet, for every 1250 ml water drank.
Pain is a sign/signal produced by dehydration in the human body. Pain may be common but it is not normal.
To simplify complications is the FIRST essential of success.
5. Picture a world from which we all suddenly vanished. Tomorrow. Snatched away to a dimension beyond this three-dimensions world. Or say that Jesus - more on Him later - 'rapture' us away to our heavenly glory somewhere across the galaxy.
For a sense of how the world would go on without us, among other places we must look to the world before us. We're no time travelers , but only imagineers of time, and the fossil record is only a fragmentary sampling. But even if that record were complete, the future won't perfectly mirror the past. Since some things we've done are likely irrevocable, what would remain in our absence would not be the same planet had we never started off in the first place.
Yet it might not be so different. There are still a few Earthly spots which invite us to wonder how nature might flourish if granted the chance.
Since we are imagining, why not also day-dream of a way for nature to prosper that doesn't depend on our demise? We are after all, scientifically categorised under mammals ourselves, warm-blooded, give birth to young, breast-feed them, nurture them, teach them,....
Every life-form adds to this vast pageant. With our passing, might some lost contribution of ours, humanly speaking, leave the planet a bit more impoverished?
Is it possible that, instead of hearing a huge biological sigh of relief, the world without us would miss us ?
We don't get out of this life alive and neither will the Earth. The world exists to serve people, because man, mankind, is the most honorable of all creatures.
6.We see the signs: Harmony is broken. The good are outnumbered. There is more injustice, exploitation, corruption, pollution, prostitution, degradation. We are facing it now. We take care of our bodies to live a linger life or longer life. We should do the same for the world. If we cherish it, make it last as long as possible, we can postpone the judgment day.
Can we?

The Price We Pay
Maybe the one thing that every politician and every citizen will agree on is that medical care is CO$TLY. But when we buy medical care, as individual or as a society, how smart are we as consumers?
Are we buying what we ought to buy?
We attempted to answer this.
Our research at Dartmouth:First, we sorted the different procedures that doctors and hospitals charge for into three(3) categories:
1."Effective care" treatments are those for which there is strong scientific evidence that they save lives or prevent disability, such as vaccination against pneumonia and the use of certain drugs in people with a heart attack to limit the damage.
2."Preference-sensitive care" treatments are those that patients often want but for which the scientific evidence is shaky, such as chemo, radiation, and surgery for early prostate cancer.
3."Supply-sensitive care" treatments are ones that doctors and hospitals (rather than patients) choose but for which there is even less scientific evidence, like the use of intensive care unit(ICU) or office visit with specialists.
We, researchers, then carved up the nation into 306 medical care regions and studied what happened to patients in the Medicare(United States) system. What we found is frightening. Singapore also adopt the same pattern , but name it "Medisave."
The range in spending was big, with Medicare spending about 60 percent more per capita in some regions than in others, even after taking into account the age of the people enrolled and the local cost of living. Overall only about half of all patients received procedures classified as "effective care."
And in the regions where medical spending was higher, the percentage of patients getting "effective care" was generally lower.
What was higher in the big-spending areas was "supply-sensitive care." So when we spend more on medical care we are just buying more expensive care, not higher quality effective care and certainly not health. The Wrong Remedy, in short.
Our studies also show that in regions where there was more medical care, people were more likely to die following such common events as hip fracture, colon cancer, and heart attacks. It's hard to understand at first why, if medical care is mostly ineffective, it might increase our chances/possibilities of dying, until you realize just how dangerous medicines and surgical procedures are.
In 1999 we woke up to a report by the Institute of Medicine that mistake made by doctors and hospitals were killing a stunning number of people - between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year.(Source from To Err Is Human: Building a Safe Health System,Washington,DC:National Academy of Sciences, 1999).
Even the lower figure represents more deaths than due to car crashes, breast cancer, or AIDS.
That alone might make us think twice about visiting our doctor, but it gets worse: mistakes account for a minor fraction of the total untimely deaths caused by modern medicine. There are many more "iatrogenic deaths" - people killed by doctors - because many more die untimely from medicines or procedures even when medical care is standard practice and the doctors perform flawlessly. It is not the doctors' fault, but the knowledge which is in use that is obsolete, though, more machines were invented. The underlying principle of nature is the real issue of health.
How can people die from "correct" medical care? This is a fair question we all can ask the medical communities, as human as they are, so are we.
Some people have a fatal allergic reaction to a medicine or an anesthetic. Others develop blood clots or pneumonia after surgery of have a fatal heart rhythm during a catherization. Others acquire drug-resistant infections (note: human body is naturally designed to detest/resist any substance which is not organically compatible with it's nature DNA, through infections manifesting signs of inflammation)after being treated for another disease. Things can go wrong even when the doctors at hand are doing everything right.
An expert (name withheld for personal reason) at Johns Hopkins estimates that these iatrogenic deaths total about 225,000 a year (the Institute of Medicine estimate even more), which, if it were classified that way, would make medical care the third largest killer in America. (Source from Barbara Starfield, "Is US Health Really the Best in the World?" JAMA 284 (2000):483-485.)
A brighter future? Try water cure protocol as preventive measure daily. In 1989, the Scientific Secretariat of the 3rd Interscience World Conference on Inflammation, etc. invited me to make my presentation of histamine at their conference. The abstract of my presentation "Neurotransmitter Histamine: An Alternative View Point" is attached. [Note: The same can be found at www.watercure.com] These, and many other articles on the topic of the "molecular physiology/pathology of dehydration,"are also posted on my website, www.watercure.com
Not only the primary cause of body pain and the body degenerative diseases of the human body seem to have emerged from my research, the uncanny simplicity of their prevention has also become clear - prevent dehydration to prevent disease !!
To show you how stagnant medical thinking at prestigious medical schools is, and how it is hurting the public, I have taken the liberty of adding my rebuttal letter to Dr. Valtin of Dartmouth College, School of Medicine to this letter.
My dear Dr Eisenberg, if you ponder the way the water industry has grown in the past 10 years, you will realize that my information, presented in my books, newspaper and magazine articles, (water cure:drugs kill, how water cured incurable disease), in addition to many thousands of radio interviews, has already impacted the public's desire to stay healthy.
Some secondary schools are teaching my books. In California they passed a resolution to throw soda-vending machines out of the schools. The rising new generation of Americans, hopefully other developed/industrialized nations follow suit, is becoming acquainted with the information on preventing thirst.
If medical schools, such as Harvard University, wish to remain as significant as they are, they need to engage in the research of the "solvent" paradigm. This blogger hope the National University of Singapore (NUS)will do just that. You are so beautifully situated to engage in this topic; it would be a crime to let the opportunity pas you by. I know you are impressed by Chinese medicine, but tell me, if people learn to prevent body pain by drinking water, how many would go to an acupuncturist for the hell if it? No malice intended here.
If you go to my website and wish to have some of my educational products to share with others, doctors, in your office, please let me know, I will send them to you as a gift.
Sincerely,
Feredooy Batmanghelidj, M.D.
NOTE: During the thirty one (31) months of his imprisonment, Dr Batmanghelidj treated more than three thousand(3000) peptic ulcer sufferers with water alone. He conducted extensive research during his political-prison stay into the medicinal effects of water, and discovered water could prevent, relieve, and cure many painful, degenerative diseases. Pain is in fact the body's "cries" for essential ingredients which are running low, and water is one of the most important ingredients.
He found Evin prison(Iran) an "ideal stress laboratory," and despite being offered an earlier release, he chose to stay an extra four months in prison (voluntarily) to complete his research into the relationship of dehydration and bleeding peptic ulcer disease. A report of his findings was smuggled out of Iran and became the editorial article in the June 1983 issue of the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, which was reported on by the New York Times science section.

Of all the domains in which
I have traced the consequences of social capital, in none is the importance of social connectedness so well established as in the case of health and well-being.
There is something mysterious here - a benefit of human social organizations that is apart from the rules that the organizations impose on their members. Some day (hope it is today) we may learn the biologic mechanism for this benefit. The mysterious nature of it, though, shouldn't prevent us from using it to keep ourselves healthy, any more than not knowing how bacteria caused disease prevented people in the 1860s from saving lives by constructing sanitery sewer and water lines.
Social organizations, like reules, are not part of the natural world; they are things we create. if we really want to be healthy, we can create them, nurture them, and give people as many opportunities as possible to be part of them. That could mean everything from ramping up federal jobs programes to revitalising town hospitals.
Not only the hospitals disintegrating, but our entire latticework of social organizations in Singapore (and USA) is crumbling. We are so 'success', that we forgot to ask questions. How important it is to rebuild it, healthy wealth.

Medicine's progress in
curing cancer is also somewhat disappointing when you consider the billions $$$ we have invested in it. The newspaper trumpet the uplifting victories - such as Lance Armstrong's beating testicular cancer before dominating the Tour de France - but muffle the losses in small obituaries. The most recent one was in Singapore, Richard Stanley, deceased CEO of Development Bank of Singapore.
In the last 25 years, the five-year survival rate for cancer has improved from about 50 percent to a little over 60 percent.
Most of the boost has been for cancers that can be spotted early and cut out by surgeons, such as cancer of the colon and breast. For cancers that hide well or spread quickly, most notably lung cancer, medical care is nearly useless; "breakthroughs" in treatment are usually measured in a few extra months or even extra weeks of survival.
Overall, cancer mortality in the United States/world is unchanged in the last 25 years and higher now that it was in 1950 ( even after taking into account the aging population factor) because a rise in the number of younger people developing cancer has swamped any improvement in treatment. A recently as the mid 1990s, an expert trying to measure the benefits of medical care ignored cancer because he considered the effects of treatment negligible.

Too Smart, Too Educated and Too Demanding
No healing For Those Who Acted Too Smart, Too Educated and Too Demanding
Nut underwent palliative surgery after receiving 14 cycles of chemotherapy. At first the treatment showed good response. Then the CEA started to increase from 5.7 in November 2002, to 24.6 in March 2003. In short, Nut’ story was a story of disappointment – an illusion at its best.
No healing For Those Who Acted
Too Smart, Too Educated and Too Demanding
Mr. Nut was a 56-year-old male. Sometime in January 2001, he went to see a doctor with a history of bloody stools. A colonoscopy indicated colon cancer. An ultrasound scan demonstrated multiple metastases in the liver.
Nut underwent palliative surgery after receiving 14 cycles of chemotherapy. At first the treatment showed good response. Then the CEA started to increase from 5.7 in November 2002, to 24.6 in March 2003. A CT scan showed the liver lesions were larger compared to the previous examination.
In short, Nut’ story was a story of disappointment: after the operation and chemotherapy, there seemed to be high hope and encouraging sign. The tumour shrunk and the CEA went down. But that high hope did not last – an illusion at its best. A few months later, the tumour grew in size and the CEA shot up.
Nut came to see me in Penang in December 2003. He spent more than an hour interrogating me about our therapy. He was looking for options and wanted to go to Singapore to seek further treatment after this. At the end of our meeting I said this to him: Go home and think what you want to do. There is NO NEED for you to see me again. Should you decide to take the herbs, then this is the prescription.
To my surprise, Nut came to our centre in late December 2003 and decided to take our herbs.
On 19 January 2004, we received a long note about Nut suffering from stomach spasm and wind. The note said: This stomach spasm pain had been a somewhat persistent occurrence since my first colon-rectal operation in January 2001. Nut complained that this pain had recurred since taking the herbs. The Stomach Function herb did not seem to work. Then there was this remark: … with my current diet, there are very little left to eat.
In another long note, dated 23 January 2004 he wrote: I have never been much of a rice eater by nature, and much as I’ve tried hard to eat, the advised brown rice and plain veggies, I am finding it harder and harder to consume… The medicinal herbal tea recommended – I find them foul smelling and vile tasting. I am beginning to suspect that some of these teas are contributing towards my wind stomach condition.
On 30 March 2004, Nut made an appointment to see me in Subang Jaya. He came and shouted at me saying: I am not getting any better. My blood test results showed that the values had increased.
He demanded: What have you got for me? Can you cure me or not?
My answer to him was plain and blunt: No we cannot cure anybody.
He replied: I have wasted three and a half months of my time. You did not say that you cannot cure me before. He walked off and left.
Comments: Of the many hundreds or thousands of cancer patients I have met and helped, Nut’s case stands out as one of the outstanding one. I am documenting this episode, not because I am angry or upset about it, but I am hoping that by writing this many others who come after him can all learn some lessons from such a case. Let me point out the following:
1.Liver cancer patients are often bad tempered and are angry people. So, those of you who have to care for such patients, take note. In the face of such rudeness and bad manners, try to show understanding and love. Such behaviour is part of the hazard of people suffering from liver cancer.
2.Very often, I have told patients this: healing is your responsibility and it must come from within. It would be a mistake to think that others have magic bullets to cure your cancer. Such thinking is misguided.
3.When Nut was diagnosed with colon cancer, the medical report indicated that he underwent palliative surgery. What this means is that such surgery is not meant to cure! In actual fact, Nut had already lost his battle even before he started the fight.
4.Besides colon cancer, Nut had liver metastases. Fourteen cycles of toxic chemo drugs did not cure him. He did know where else to go to for help and came to us. When I first met him in December, I knew from our conversation that he would be a very difficult patient to handle – he appeared too smart and too educated. Patients who are arrogant and acted as if they know everything generally have difficulty following our therapy.
5.It came to me as a surprise when I learnt that Nut decided to take the herbs. I understand he was desperate. And I must say most patients who come to see us for help are in the same category – lost, helpless, desperate and hopeless.
6.As all those who come here already know, we require patients to sign the Release of Liability form before they see us or take our herbs. The first clause in this form said: I have on my own free will come to seek advice and help from Dr. Chris Teo and members of his CA Care with regards to my illness. I acknowledge that there is no guarantee or promise that the herbs provided by CA Care can benefit or cure my sickness. Nut signed this form when he came to see me on 19 December 2003. Nut’s wife also signed another form when she came to collect the herbs later on. So his outburst was illogical and ill mannered. He had forgotten that by displaying such arrogance, the real loser is himself, not anybody else.
7.Generally when people are in trouble and need help they will follow and listen to our advise. But when they become well or unwell, they will speak with different tongues. Sometime, we become their punching bags or scapegoats.
8.Unknown to many, how patients present themselves would indicate to me if he/she can make it or not. His/her attitude, facial expressions, emotional problems, lifestyle, commitment, family support etc. are observed and noted – all these enable me to assess and figure out the REAL person we are dealing with. If a patient thinks he/she comes here wanting a quick fix or magic bullet, let it be known – we have none! Such thinking is grossly misguided. Cancer is a systemic disease of the body, mind and spirit. It is a result of a constant abuse of the body over years. The tumour is just an expression of such abuse. Removing the tumour is never a cure or the answer if the underlying cause of the problem is never addressed or corrected.
9.Nut, according to his medical report suffered from rectal bleeding for seven months and he ignored the signal that the body was sending him. Was he ignorant or was he stubborn? He wanted to play the game according to his own rule? Be warned – in cancer game, you seldom or can never win. Chances are you will lose badly and dearly. Again, the medical report indicated that in 1996, Nut contracted hepatitis B but he still drank alcohol about a couple of times a week. He smoked approximately 30 cigarettes per day. Is this not a blatant abuse of the body? I dare say to anyone, if you persist with such habits, don’t blame others or God if you find yourself in bottomless pit. You cause your own cancer!
10. Nut was a plantation manager. From what I know, such people (not all?) have colonial mentality. They are regarded as gods in their kingdoms or estate. They would bark at their assistants, clerks and illiterate workers. Their wishes were obeyed and never questioned. They give orders not receiving orders. It is hard for such a person to follow this holistic path of healing. Nut protested about his diet. He could NOT eat what he likes anymore. To him, the herbs were foul smelling and bad in taste. His notes to us showed his anger and hatred towards what he was doing. Under such stress nobody can find any healing?
11. Nut is not the only person who felt this way. From my experience, only THREE out of ten patients who come seemed to benefit from our work, the remaining seven failed for reasons like this. But what are we to do? If you are unhappy or NOT prepared to walk this journey, go elsewhere for other options.
Option to recognise the nature will always heal slowly, surely and naturally. Goggle Healthy Wealth, share Healthy Wealth and spread healthy wealth with one and all, while time still permit us. Thank you.
No healing For Those Who Acted Too Smart, Too Educated and Too Demanding

Bleeding Tongue healed:
Your book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water was mentioned to me several years ago by a co-worker, but I skeptically disregarded this recommendation, having suffered my entire life with a medically unrecognized problems. I was thoroughly disillusioned with all medical professionals. The problem I call "extreme dry mouth" with muscular/tissue hypertension, because I've never seen, heard of or read about a similar case in my 54 years. I now recognize it is a symptom of dehydration.
My tongue first manifested white patches of seemingly dead skin about 17 months of age. Until about 6 weeks ago,other signs of dehydration were obvious (but unrecognizable until I read your book ) - constant runny nose, watery eyes, puffed eyelids, susceptible to colds and flu.
These latter signs cleared almost immediately once I increased my water intake. By the time I was in school, my entire tongue was coated with a white layer that could be peeled off my tongue in strips often accompanied by skin (membrane), laying bare a raw, sometimes bleeding tongue.
No one suggested water - iodine perhaps or yeast medication, but never water. Wisely, I would not allow doctors to experiment with different drug remedies for something they couldn't identify. Aside from my apparent weakened immune system, I was healthy, so just accepted the condition as my lot in life and stopped searching for answers.
I followed the eating principles of Natural Hygiene as outlined in the book by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond "Fit for Life and Living Healthy." Great emphasis was placed upon eating high-water-content foods and omitting animal meat, dairy products and concentrated foods from the diet. However, personal circumstances made it impossible for me to adhere to this regimen, and signs of dehydration re-appeared again.
Within the past year my tongue has appeared reptilian, skinny, long, hard, shiny and thick at the apex. Living with this diseased state proved painful and embarrassing, especially the speech distortion caused by the swollen tip (apex0 and drooling caused by excessive saliva secretion. (Deficiency of salt in one;s daily diet can cause saliva to drooling during sleep)
Since June 2001, I have been enjoying eight 10-ounce glasses of water with sea salt each day and although the pain and drooling have gone, my tongue is still swollen in places in spite of daily local massage to increase circulation. The white membrane/dead skin apparently now is developing a healthy pink membranous layer underneath.
Dr. Batmanghelidj, thank you for your intelligent diligence in revealing that chronic dehydration is a causative agent in the production of disease conditions; you have shown great courage and perseverance in dealing with bureaucratic medical "authorities." I thank and admire you greatly.
Sincerely, R.E.N.

Cold or shiver.
Normally, shivering is an involuntary response to cold that kicks in once core body temperature drops below 36.6 degree Celsius or when skin temperature falls below 28 degree Celsius.
This is usually beneficial, as the muscle contractions generate heat, but in cold water it only serves to increase the rate at which the human body cools. That's because the increased blood flow transfers more heat from the core to the body's extremities, fingers and toes.
It is the availability of fresh water, which determine the core temperature is maintained for optimal functions of the various inner organs of the body.
It is a misconception that hot drink will warm up the inner body, or ice-cold/chilled drink will 'cool' the body.

Infection after chemotherapy led to death
HOW do you deal with a cancer that attacks blood?
Early diagnosis and treatment improve the odds of beating this fast-spreading blood cancer, or acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML).
But it was an infection, soon after his latest round of chemotherapy, that led to the sudden death of DBS chief Richard Stanley yesterday.
In fact, doctors had felt that Mr Stanley's AML was treatable when it was diagnosed in late January. Mr Stanley, 48, went to see a doctor when he had flu-like symptoms, including fever and a cough, over the Chinese New Year holidays.
Tests over the next three days confirmed he had AML.
The bad news came just nine months after he became chief executive of Singapore's biggest bank. He took leave, for up to six months, and began chemotherapy treatment at once.
In a staff memo then, DBS chairman Koh Boon Hwee said doctors felt Mr Stanley's condition was treatable and full remission was possible.
Haematologists who spoke to The Sunday Times yesterday explained that AML is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells. These leukaemia cells build up in the bone marrow and blood, so there is less room for healthy cells. The causes of AML are mostly unknown.
It is a very serious illness and the cancer can worsen very quickly if not treated. Dr Benjamin Mow, consultant haematologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said: 'If it is not treated, the person can die within three months.'
Patients have even died within two to three weeks of diagnosis due to complications from the disease or during treatment, said Dr Koh Liang Piu, senior consultant at the National University Cancer Institute.
Even with treatment, chances of recovering fully come with caveats. A normal, healthy person might have a 40 per cent to 50 per cent chance of recovery. But the elderly or sickly will have less than a 10 per cent chance, said DrKoh.
A relapse is common, occurring in three or four out of every 10 'cured' AML patients, he said.
In the less serious cases, the patient will have to go through four cycles of chemotherapy as treatment. The more serious and risky cases will need both chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, said doctors.
Because AML patients lack white blood cells needed to fight infection and disease, they have to be isolated during treatment to minimise the risk of infection.
Their single-bed isolation wards are specially cleaned. The few visitors who see them have to wash their hands and wear a face mask before entering the room. Such care is needed because, often, it is infections which lead to death among AML patients - especially after chemotherapy treatment.
Said Dr Koh: 'After chemotherapy, the patient's immunity is very low for the next two to three weeks. This is when the risk of infection is very high. Usually, death happens during this period.'
In a statement yesterday, DBS said Mr Stanley contracted an infection after chemotherapy, after which his condition 'deteriorated rapidly' in the last 48 hours.
Mr Stanley was treated at Mount Elizabeth Hospital. His doctor, consultant haematologist Dr Freddy Teo Cheng Peng, could not be contacted yesterday.
Infections can come from anywhere - from airborne bacteria to the pre-existing bacteria carried by the patients themselves. In very serious infections, such as blood or lung infection, the patient can die within hours, said Dr Koh.
Internal bleeding is also a common cause of death among AML patients, the worst being bleeding in the brain. This can happen suddenly and results from a lack of healthy platelets which help to form blood clots.
Said Dr Mow: 'Usually when the patient no longer responds to chemotherapy or becomes very sick, it might be too late to do anything else.'
FRIENDS and family on Saturday night flocked to the wake of DBS Group Holdings chief executive Richard Stanley, who died on Saturday morning after a short battle with leukaemia.
His body is resting at the Singapore Casket and his funeral will be held tomorrow at the Church of St Teresa in Kampong Bahru Road.
In a statement, the bank said Mr Stanley, 48, died at 8.36am.
His family 'kept vigil all night long and were by his side as he slipped away peacefully', added the statement. He is survived by his wife, Ms Koh Li Peng, and three children.
Mr Stanley was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukaemia in late January and had been responding well to treatment.
After two rounds of chemotherapy, his doctors believed that his cancer was in remission. But his weakened immune system made him susceptible to infection, said the bank. His condition rapidly deteriorated over the last 48 hours and he succumbed to the infection.
When will the present oncologists ever learn there are many alternatives, safer and more effective treatments for any types of cancer beside the chemotherapy? Perhaps they will never want to depart from the status quo, yet. Or perhaps they will now.

2.How Water Cure :
Premenstrual Disorders; Suicidal:
Note: I received the following two letters from A.C. and included them both because I want to explain the relationship of PMDD to water-metabolism disruption.
=======================================
From A.C.
My husband and I are avid health-lovers, and members of the Grain and Salt Society.
Almost 3 years ago I was diagnosed with severe PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and clinical depression. I tried all the recommended treatments, from Prozac to wonder creams, to herbal concoctions, you name it, and I tried it. None of it worked.
After 2 and half years of intense suffering, my husband and I discovered DrF.Batmanghelidj, M.D. and his amazing 'water cure'. After reading his book Your Body's Many Cries for Water, the solution to my problems became clear as day to my husband and me. I started self-medicating with water hydration ; natural Ocean harvested salt from The Grain & Salt Society, pure-grade L-Tryptophan, exercise and nutritional support. It has been 6 months since I started this regimen, and I can say with utter confidence that all my symptoms have completely disappeared.
For your information, I suffered the following symptoms before this treatment:
*Severe PMS (moodiness, irritability, uncontrolled anger)
*Clinical depression
*Chronic fatigue
*Bloating
*Irregular menstruation
*Hormonal imbalances (testing showed higher than normal prolacin levels, indicating possible prolactin-secreting adenoma)
*Menstrual migraine
*Cravings
*Seasonal allergies
Because of the immerse success I had in treating my disorders with these simple natural methods, I have created a website dedicated to women who suffer from PMDD, and I promote this natural, simple and effective cure heavily. I have also supplied links on my Index page for interested persons to The Grain & Salt Society, and Dr. B's site www.watercure.com .
It is my intention to share this information with as many people as i can, as PMDD is an extremely debilitating condition, with many more women suffering from its effects than is generally known. If Dr B and Global Health Solutions deem it appropriate, I would appreciate it greatly if they would have a look at my non-profit site and its contents, and help me to promote this natural cure.
In fact,I would be very curious to hear Dr B's professional comments about my story of self-healing using his research. My opinion is that conventional medicine is not doing enough to help women with this PMDD disorder, and many are led astray by large pharmaceutical corporations' sponsorships of misleading propaganda and promotion of drugs such as SSRIs, without fully researching or making public the real causes and proper treatment for this female malady. I look forward to your comments,
Sincerely,
A.C.
=======================================
Note: The physiological preparation for the women monthly menstrual cycle demands increased water intake and dilution of blood by at least 15 to 25 percent. The blood must be dilute and thin in consistency to prevent circulatory disturbance when part of it is shed with the outer layer of endometrium of the uterus. This process involves the water-regulatory actions of histamine and its subordinate operators. These chemicals not only produce pain but could also influence neuropsychological/physiological activity of the brain. In a book by Carl Pfeiffer called Nutrition and Mental Health : An Orthomolecular Approach to Balancing Body Chemistry, histamine has been shown to influence emotional states of the body. Additional proof is in fact that all tricyclic antidepressant drugs are very, very strong antihistamines. However, water and salt are infinitely more effective, natural, and less harmful antihistamines and alleviate the health problems associated with excess histamine activity in the body - hence A.C.'s observations.

A.C. (letter 2)
I am delighted to hear from you, thank you very much for replying. yes, of course you may use my letter in your new book, this is wonderful! Out of curiosity, what is the title if you don't mind me asking? I would love to read it when it is published. Right now my husband is reading your book ABC of Asthma, Allergies,and Lupus, and I am patiently waiting my turn.
As for getting tryptophan without a prescription, this is a long story. My husband and I searched high and low for pure-grade tryptophan ; as you know it is so very difficult a product to get hold of without a prescription, but it is not impossible. We knew that we could get it through a doctor's prescription, but being new to the city we live in, we had not yet developed a sufficient relationship with a doctor for me to feel comfortable discussing this unconventional treatment method for my problems. you might understand I had so many dissatisfying experiences over the past 3 years in this particular arena of my health dealing with conventional medicine that I wanted to circumvent the good doctors where possible. Perhaps some would consider this unwise, but I did not feel that there were any risks. My dear husband and I had done our homework and felt fairly confident that we were on the right track. Anyway, the upshot of it was that we eventually found a company in California that sells pure-grade pharmaceutical tryptophan, at $xx a bottle. Ouch! :-) But the benefits far outweigh the cost, and that is more important for us. We investigated the company (just to be sure) and everything checked out, so we went ahead bought the tryptophan without prescription.
If you don't mind reading a small novel, I would like to tell you what happened before I started taking the tryptophan supplement, you might find this interesting.
About 6 months ago, before we had found this company to buy from direct, and shortly after reading your book, I had been experimenting with the 'cure' by getting tryptophan into my system through drinking a glass of warm whole milk before each night, and again in the morning, then doing 1 hour's brisk walking to get it through the blood brain barrier (as you explained in your book) and another hour's walk in the afternoon, all the while hydrating with water, etc. My husband and I were mightily impressed with the results just from these simple methods.
My depression had lifted considerably and I had some energy again (although not yet cured, my symptoms were beginning to alleviate somewhat). We had gone through such a tough time Doc B, we were on the edge of divorce many times, we really could not believe that the answer to my health problems could be so simple, so we were proceeding cautiously, thinking this is too good to be true. I continued with the warm milk for about one month, but before long the mucus-forming properties of the milk started aggravating my allergies and I had to stop the warm milk routine.
For the next month or so I did fairly well by simply eating the foods that contain tryptophan naturally, but I was by no means as well as I felt I could be if I could get my hands on pure pharmaceutical-grade L-Tryptophan. And as I expected, the real results of this treatment method started showing once I started taking the tryptophan in supplement form (starting with 1000 mg for 2 weeks, then 500 mg, then intermittently and so on).
It feels wonderful to be me again Dr. B. My husband and I refer to you as 'Dr batman' when we discuss your books and your work, and as this is a term of endearment for us as we have great respect for what you represent. I want to personally say a great big thank you to you dear Dr Batman! Your research and knowledge not only literally helped to save my life ( I was suicidal at one point, when my PMDD and depression was at its worst), but it was also instrumental in great part to saving a beautiful marriage, my mental health, and not the least, the psychological health of a beautiful 6-year-old boy, who no longer has to be confused and hurt by his Mommy's unexplainable mod swings.
Right now I am working through some psychological issues relating to my childhood, which, in my opinion, and according to some research I've done, plays a big role in triggering PMDD in some susceptible women. I am moving forward on solid ground at last,instead of treading water always fearing that I would drown from exhaustion (metaphorically speaking).
Dr Batman, what is your professional opinion about PreMenstrual Dysphoric Disorder? PMDD. I think I am on the right track when I say that primarily this disorder is triggered by 'stress,' whether this is life stress or stress through chronic dehydration. Conventional medicine says that PMDD is caused in some women who have an abnormal response to normal hormonal changes. In my humble layman's opinion, I think this is inaccurate, misleading, and nothing more than simple 'shooting into the wind' with nothing more than a theory. Do you know anything about PMDD? Is there a possibility you might do some research about this disorder and publish your findings? It would help so many women and their families, Doc.
I don't think I am that wrong in saying that severe PMS (PreMenstrual Syndrome) and PMDD has been the cause of many a divorce and other family dysfunction. After all, I have experienced this aspect firsthand. And being a man, you are surely familiar with the jokes about PMS and the stigmatization in our society of this female condition! :)
PMDD is a very serious condition in my opinion, even life threatening because of the very real possibility of suicide and manslaughter when it reaches its worst levels. Anyone who spends some time speaking to women with PMDD (and their spouses and children) will soon realize the far-reaching effects of PMDD, not only for the sufferer but also for her loved ones as well.
The longer PMDD remains untreated (and conventional methods in my opinion are not adequate treatment), the worse it gets, even leading to more serious depressive illnesses. In my opinion people (and the medical community) are not taking it seriously enough. I think you can tell I feel quite strongly about this. ;-)
But now I think I have taken up too much of your precious time with my ramblings. :-)
Thank you again Dr.Batman, you are doing humanity a great service with your work. May you always find great happiness and success in all your endeavours.
Sincerely,
A.C.
Note: I received the following two letters from A.C. and included them both because I want to explain the relationship of PMDD to water-metabolism disruption.
=======================================
From A.C.
My husband and I are avid health-lovers, and members of the Grain and Salt Society.
Almost 3 years ago I was diagnosed with severe PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and clinical depression. I tried all the recommended treatments, from Prozac to wonder creams, to herbal concoctions, you name it, and I tried it. None of it worked.
After 2 and half years of intense suffering, my husband and I discovered DrF.Batmanghelidj, M.D. and his amazing 'water cure'. After reading his book Your Body's Many Cries for Water, the solution to my problems became clear as day to my husband and me. I started self-medicating with water hydration ; natural Ocean harvested salt from The Grain & Salt Society, pure-grade L-Tryptophan, exercise and nutritional support. It has been 6 months since I started this regimen, and I can say with utter confidence that all my symptoms have completely disappeared.
For your information, I suffered the following symptoms before this treatment:
*Severe PMS (moodiness, irritability, uncontrolled anger)
*Clinical depression
*Chronic fatigue
*Bloating
*Irregular menstruation
*Hormonal imbalances (testing showed higher than normal prolacin levels, indicating possible prolactin-secreting adenoma)
*Menstrual migraine
*Cravings
*Seasonal allergies
Because of the immerse success I had in treating my disorders with these simple natural methods, I have created a website dedicated to women who suffer from PMDD, and I promote this natural, simple and effective cure heavily. I have also supplied links on my Index page for interested persons to The Grain & Salt Society, and Dr. B's site www.watercure.com .
It is my intention to share this information with as many people as i can, as PMDD is an extremely debilitating condition, with many more women suffering from its effects than is generally known. If Dr B and Global Health Solutions deem it appropriate, I would appreciate it greatly if they would have a look at my non-profit site and its contents, and help me to promote this natural cure.
In fact,I would be very curious to hear Dr B's professional comments about my story of self-healing using his research. My opinion is that conventional medicine is not doing enough to help women with this PMDD disorder, and many are led astray by large pharmaceutical corporations' sponsorships of misleading propaganda and promotion of drugs such as SSRIs, without fully researching or making public the real causes and proper treatment for this female malady. I look forward to your comments,
Sincerely,
A.C.
=======================================
Note: The physiological preparation for the women monthly menstrual cycle demands increased water intake and dilution of blood by at least 15 to 25 percent. The blood must be dilute and thin in consistency to prevent circulatory disturbance when part of it is shed with the outer layer of endometrium of the uterus. This process involves the water-regulatory actions of histamine and its subordinate operators. These chemicals not only produce pain but could also influence neuropsychological/physiological activity of the brain. In a book by Carl Pfeiffer called Nutrition and Mental Health : An Orthomolecular Approach to Balancing Body Chemistry, histamine has been shown to influence emotional states of the body. Additional proof is in fact that all tricyclic antidepressant drugs are very, very strong antihistamines. However, water and salt are infinitely more effective, natural, and less harmful antihistamines and alleviate the health problems associated with excess histamine activity in the body - hence A.C.'s observations.

You Are Not Sick You Are Thirsty?
Hot Tea May Raise Esophageal Cancer Risk
In general, drinking tea is a healthful habit. It beats drinking coffee, which although not harmful, does not convey any particular health benefits (as tea almost certainly does). But there is an important caveat, which was emphasized in a recent report in the British Medical Journal (now officially called by its initials, the BMJ). Drinking hot or very hot tea may make a certain type of esophageal cancer more likely to occur. Since the danger (almost certainly) comes from the damaging effect of heat per se, one should probably avoid all hot beverages and drink one's tea in a pleasantly warm state-perhaps cooled with milk, as the British often do.
Researchers chose Iran's northern Golestan province to examine this question. This is logical, since this province, located near the Caspian Sea, has one of the highest rates of esophageal cancer in the world. They looked in particular at squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, which has a particularly high rate of occurrence in this district of 1.7 million people.
Just about everyone in Golestan province drinks tea (Camilla sinensis). No surprise there. But researchers, headed by Farhad Islami of Tehran University, interviewed 300 people as well as 571 healthy people and controlled for other risk factors, including tobacco use. They asked study participants whether they drank their tea very hot, hot, warm, or lukewarm and also how long they let the tea brew before drinking it. This type of esophageal cancer turned out to be eight times as common among people who drank "very hot" tea, compared to warm or lukewarm tea drinkers. Islami established that in this community people 22 percent of people drank their tea at 65 degrees Celsius (= 149 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher. (This is normally the temperature of tea just after it is brewed.)
Is there something about drinks made from Camilla sinensis that is dangerous? Almost certainly not, since other tea drinking populations do not have similar rates of esophageal cancer. A major clue that is the same relationship between hot beverages, including a non-Camilla form of herbal tea called maté, and esophageal cancer is also seen in Argentina and Uruguay. Mate is a kind of "tea" that does not contain Camilla sinensis. As Islami noted, too-hot liquid could injure esophageal cells, paving the way for esophageal cancer. Islami's study is-in the words of the BMJ editorialists - "the most compelling test to date" of that theory. Even though the study was conducted in an unusual setting, "the findings are relevant to clinicians and researchers in many settings," according to an editorial that was published with the study.
The findings should be replicated, but letting hot drinks cool off for four or five minutes is a good idea, according to the editorialist David Whiteman, PhD, of Australia's Queensland Institute of Medical Research.
"It is difficult to imagine any adverse consequences of waiting at least four minutes before drinking a cup of freshly boiled tea, or more generally allowing foods and beverages to cool from 'scalding' to 'tolerable' before swallowing," Whitehead writes. Whitehead also says Islami's findings "are not cause for alarm... and should not reduce public enthusiasm for the time-honored ritual of drinking tea."
There is a political aspect to this study, as well. Given the difficult relations between the Iranian government and some other countries in the past, it is encouraging to see this cooperative activity between Iranian scientists and their colleagues in the West, with potential benefit for all people.
There is an informative video about this study at the BMJ Web site:

Dr Batmanghelidj(pronounced Batman-ge-lij),American citizen, was born in Iran in 1931, graduated from London University's St Mary's Hospital Medical School.He was thrown jail in Evin Prison(Iran), during Iran Revolution which broke out in 1979, and was slated to be shot. While waiting to be "processed" as a political prisoner there, he discovered the healing power of water (details found here www.watercure.com)
The doctor's discovery of the medicinal property of water at Evin prison also saved his own life. The authorities now wanted to be associated with his discovery.

NIH, the most advanced in medical research(?)
The National Institute of Health (NIH) , United States of America, the most advanced center of medical research in the world, has failed society even more miserably. How?
1. Firstly, why has NIH not studied the medical effects of water?
2. Why has NIH not separated the possible positive impact of water taken to swallow a pill from the "medication" itself?
3. Why has NIH not studied what happens to a person who does not regularly drink water?
These are their initial mistakes.
4. Why do you think the NIH converted these mistakes into a sting operation?
The American Medical Association (AMA) was invited ,since 24 July 1990, to become the harbinger of the good news of water cure diseases to the public. Their ultimate silence clearly expose their flagrant violation of public trust. Many Medical Associations around the world are just following the same attitude.
The unkindest cut of all is the way the mainstream medical community still prefer to adhere to business as usual and ignores the good news of water cure many diseases . Fundamentally, this basic ignorance of the manifestations of the water needs of the human body is the primary reason for the high cost of health care , which keep going upward, in our society, without a hope of improvement in the way it is presently designed -- a very bad design that only serves its operators and not the health-care-needing public.
Can we do some proactive actions about our sad situation? Any suggestion from any reader are most welcome and appreciated.
Following is my proposal to all:
Real doctor cannot be richer financially than the patients, when one does, then profiteering from the patients illness is happening. Real doctor is to keep the people's health-care going, not keep the sick-system going.
Here is an option to all readers : Adopt this water-cure-dehydration health treatment, you only give me S$0.10 a day as long as you are well and healthy. That will be S$36.50 per year of 365 days.The consolidated amount will be channeled to further the public awareness of this scientific paradigm-shift in health-care business, water cure, easy. Should you fall sick or your present sickness deteriorate, as your agreed health-care giver-cum-consultant, I will give you $10.00 a day until I troubleshoot your cause of sickness and remedy it completely. The money is to be used for purchase of fresh fruits and drinking water only. In short, I am "paying" for your medicine. How about that? I believe all people can be helped to remain healthy, if only we are really concern about them. Not just lip service but heart service.
You win and I win,win-win situation, in this new health-care policy. A policy which emphasize the resposibilities between both health-care giver and receiver. A SEAL policy: Safety, Excellent, Accountability and Lean. Any taker? To sign up, e-mail me. Free trial period of 30 days. You may like to visit www.watercure2.com or www.watercure.com and learn more about "water cure "before signing up with me, if you are still interested /sceptical about water cure .
"Onset Preventive is the only Cure."
Slogan "prevention is better than cure" is just another lip service made to maintain those 'money milking public' industry of sickness-care.
One of the more obvious reasons why medicine has become so complicated and costly is the fact that the research and production of pharmaceutical products --- and eventually their patient evaluation --- has become monumentally expensive. To boost the sale of regularly and heavily advertised products, not only do highly paid medical representatives present their sales pitch, "buy one, get one free", but doctors are also enticed into promoting the drugs by the "perks" offered. Patients continue to use them because they are not cured.
They are not supposed to be cured ! They are only treated! This is the ideal way that commercialism and capitalism in medicine can thrive. While the patients holding on hope after hope, till it is too late to reverse their worsening conditions. This is not the only shameful loose end in presnt day medicine.
Technique-oriented advancements in medicine are made possible as a result of "gadgets" production. This , too, adds to the cost of medicine. Teaching hospitals and research institutions depend heavily on funding from the industrial side of the health care system. Thus, research in medicine has traditionally been directed according to the wishes of health care industrialists who release funds for their own profit-generating projects.
***Proverb 29:7 The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but
the wicked regard not to know it.******************
Now comes a moment of great rejoicing. It has been discovered that the human body possesses a variety of sophisticated indicators when it runs short of water -- emergency indicators of dehydration and thirst. The human body has many more than the one "dry mouth" indicator of water shortage. Equally obvious, the greatest tragedy in medical history is the fact that medical professionals have not understood the human body's variety of calls for water. They have traditionally resorted to using chemicals and "procedures" to deal with chronic dehydration of the human body. A monumental mistake, but a blatant fact!
Chronic cellular dehydration painfully and prematurely kills. Its initial outwards manifestations have until now been labeled as diseases of unknown origin. The secret of caring for a patient is caring for the patient. Not the patient's affordability. Try water cure and be delivered from dehydration induced sickness, today. All that we need to understand is how to make the human body stronger naturally and stop actions that would make it vulnerable. SEAL.. Once the public becomes aware of this paradigm shift in medicine, and begin to realize there are no commercial aims at encouraging them to treat their present body's dehydration with plain water, a science-based transformation of the health-care system will become a welcome reality, in this country and other countries. SEAL .

It has been discovered that the human body possesses a variety of sophisticated indicators when it runs short of water -- emergency indicators of dehydration and thirst. The human body has many more than the one "dry mouth" indicator of water shortage. Equally obvious, the greatest tragedy in medical history is the fact that medical professionals have not understood the human body's variety of calls for water. They have traditionally resorted to using chemicals and "procedures" to deal with chronic dehydration of the human body. A monumental mistake, but a blatant fact!
Chronic cellular dehydration painfully and prematurely kills. Its initial outwards manifestations have until now been labeled as diseases of unknown origin. The secret of caring for a patient is caring for the patient. Not the patient's affordability. Try water cure and be delivered from dehydration induced sickness, today. All that we need to understand is how to make the human body stronger naturally and stop actions that would make it vulnerable. SEAL.. Once the public becomes aware of this paradigm shift in medicine, and begin to realize there are no commercial aims at encouraging them to treat their present body's dehydration with plain water, a science-based transformation of the health-care system will become a welcome reality, in this country and other countries.

KOMBUCHA ! drink products...
Warning:
You Are Wasting Money Buying Kombucha!
There Are Just Two Types of Kombucha Tea Drinkers:
Those Who Drink the 100% Natural, PROPERLY MADE Kombucha Tea and Experience “The Buzz”
Those Who Drink Store Bought Kombucha Tea and Experience “The Crash” and a lighter wallet
Kombucha Tea is unlike any other tea out there—in fact, the secret to Kombucha’s healing and revitalizing powers is not a tea leaf—it’s a culture! An original batch of sweetened green or black tea is transformed by the Kombucha living culture. Sugar is added to help stimulate fermentation. After several days, the original nutrients like caffeine and sugar are transformed into a lightly carbonated “super tea” filled with beneficial organic acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
These nutrients were not present before the Kombucha culture was added and they only appear in the right concentrations when the fermentation process is complete.
The result is “the buzz” — a rejuvenation of the mind and body combined with along-lasting boost of sustained energy. When this “Ancient Elixir” is made properly, most of the caffeine and sugar is transformed during the fermentation process so there isn’t the “crash” common to most energy drinks and caffeinated beverages.
But You Won’t Find This “Ancient Elixir”
On The Shelves Of Your Health Food Store…
Unfortunately, most of the Kombucha Tea sold in health food stores is high in caffeine and sugar for one simple reason: money. It takes more time for the Kombucha Tea to ferment properly which would naturally lower the caffeine and sugar levels. But to save money while still providing the short term energy increase, Kombucha Tea makers shorten the fermentation process which is why their products are loaded with caffeine and sugar. Since kombucha is a living organism it needs to be given the right environment before and AFTER to sustain it’s nutritional benefits.
For a healthy body, it is essential we consume products that contain “active” or “live” cultures to reap the benefits of the fermentation process and, thus, the probiotic.
These money-saving short cuts all add up to one thing: An expensive “all-natural” energy drink sold in high-end health food stores that still makes you “crash” just like those expensive energy drinks sold in convenience stores! This “commercial grade” Kombucha Tea is loaded with too much caffeine and sugar while missing the beneficial vitamins, minerals, acids, and nutrients—it’s NOT the Ancient Elixir.
Don’t pay energy drink prices for commercial grade Kombucha Tea from the health food stores that will only make you crash…

Liver determines your longevity:
Pain-relieving drugs such as aspirin and products containing acetaminophen - many are toxic to human liver.
Most pharmaceutical drugs, especially anti-inflammatories and antibiotics - check the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR), available in a home edition and at most public libraries, if you are uncertain about the potential toxicity to the human liver.
Fried greasy foods - they are often difficult for the liver to handle.
Stimulants like coffee, black tea, or ephedra (ma huang) products - they increase body metabolism and acts as central nervous system stimulants, increasing body heat and possibly inflammation. Inflammation overtime, cause cancerous cells in the body.
A normal human body's liver physiology function, in a nutshell, is to make sure that the body absorbs everything it needs and dumps everything it doesn't need.
Liver's major duties look like this :
1.Metabolizes(change) proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, thus providing energy and nutrients.
2.Stores fuel in the form of glycogen, which is especially important to your brain function, and can supply "quick energy".
3.Metabolizes drugs and breaks down alcohol. All patients with liver diseases( hepatitis, cirrhosis, fibrosis) must avoid alcohol.
4.Stores vitamins, minerals, and sugar.
5.Filters the blood and helps remove harmful chemicals and bacteria. Without sufficient water on daily basis this normal function is hindered.
6.Creates bile, which breaks down fats. Again dehydration can shut down bile production, and lead to gall bladder stones formation.
7.Regulates the body's ability to clot.
8.Governs the transport of fat stores.
9.Helps assimilate and store fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K); stores iron.
10.Stores extra blood, which can be quickly released when needed.
11.Creates serum proteins, which maintain fluid balance and act as carriers for hormones like estrogen and other substances.
12.Helps maintain electrolyte and water balance.
13.Creates immune substances, such as gamma globulin.
14.Regulates levels of sexual hormones: manufactures estrogen, testosterone, and breaks down and eliminates excess sexual hormones.
As you can see, that's a lot of work for a single organ to do even under the best of conditions. Please don't insult your body further by short-changing it without enough water daily. Why should one die prematurely and intentionally?

Beat HFMD with Water-Cure again?
April 8, 2009
More infected with HFMD
By Jessica Jaganathan (Singapore The Straits Times reporter)
CHILDCARE centres and kindergartens are stepping up the cleaning of classrooms as the number of children coming down with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) continues to climb.
Last week, 653 people came down with the normally mild childhood disease that usually causes fever and rashes.
That is just 12 short of the Health Ministry's official 'epidemic level'.
=========================================
Revisit former postings and spread this Water-Cure protocol island wide.Thanks for your kind respond and responsibility to our growing children and teenagers,too.

Use Water-cure. Rather be thankful for the timely warning, and do something about it.
Drink at least 10% of your own daily water-quota (31.42 ml multiply by your present body weight(kg), every 90 minutes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet, for every 1250 ml water drank.
Pain is a sign/signal produced by dehydration in the human body. Pain may be common but it is not normal.
To simplify complications is the FIRST essential of success.

The revelations you'll read here will transform the practice of medicine all over the world; they will change the present cost-intensive, drug-peddling, and commerce-driven medical system to a pure physiology-based and disease-prevention natural approach to public health today and in the future. The information in this Healthy Wealth blog will awaken people to the pharmaceutical fraud and terrorism that are foundation to all that is wrong in our current health-care system in Singapore in particular, and the world in general.

Fellow humankind and blogger, there are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. This Healthy Wealth blogger humbly appeal to the people again to spread this "water-cure protocol formula" far and wide for the benefits of our children, and children's children.

I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones, and even those that are not giving real positive results, at that. let us never let our sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.

Rojak food poisoning
Second woman dies
Madam Norani Kassim (right), 59, seen here with her husband Mohd Salleh Sarip, is said to have eaten Indian rojak from the Rojak Geylang Serai stall at the Geylang Serai hawker centre. -- PHOTO: FAMILY OF MR MOHD SALLEH SARIP
ANOTHER woman who fell into a coma after eating Indian rojak from a popular store at a Geylang Serai hawker centre on Friday has died.
Madam Norani Kassim, 59, died at 9.58am on Wednesday, five days after she was warded in Alexandra Hospital's intensive care unit.

Alexandra spokesman said that the cause of death is still undetermined pending coroner's investigation.
Her husband Mr Mohd Salleh Sapir, 65, said that Mdm Norani had a history of diabetes.
He was also told that the bacteria in her stomach was affecting her liver and heart.
Canteen assistant Madam Aminah Samijo, 57, died earlier on Monday after eating the rojak on Friday, along with her husband, Mr Omar Ali, who is in his 50s.
Madam Aminah became violently sick on Friday night, and suffered vomiting and severe diarrhoea.
She was taken to the Changi General Hospital, but lapsed into a coma and died without regaining consciousness.

1.How water cure:
Dry Cough; Asthma; Bronchitis:
I am writing to thank you for the cure I got from chronic bronchitis, asthma and a chronic cough with water and salt.
Sir Harold Klemp, Living ECK Master, told us about your book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water, at an ECKANKAR seminar.
I had this cough for many years and several doctors tried to "cure" me of it with many drugs. I could clear a room when I coughed; people looked at me like I had the plague.
My present doctor, a lung specialist, gave up on it. "I'd sure like to get rid of that cough," he'd say. But he could not.
After I read your book, I drank (3) 8 oz glasses of water every morning and took a pinch of salt, cough up some phlegm and the cough is gone. No more carrying an inhaler everywhere I go. No more asthma attacks. I drink at least eight(8) glasses of water a day now. I carry it everywhere I go.
I've given several of the books away and told others about it. Several people I know are using the techniques in the book.
Thank you again. This book can saves lives.
Sincerely,
E.S.

How Water Cured...
Depression; Numbness and Tingling:
I am writing to you because I recently purchased a copy of your book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water, which without a doubt is one of the best books I have ever read. I feel that your dedication set the tone for the whole book. The information therein has helped me personally, it has assisted me in a report of food additives I have just completed for a magazine, and I am confidence that it will help me at some stage when I resume my holistic health practice, which is on hold whilst I finish bringing up my children on my own.
About six years ago, i had two traumatic experiences within two months of each other, following which I suffered a number of symptoms, including numbness and tingling in my arms and hands every morning, recurrent depression, and a craving for carbohydrates and sweet things. I was able to control these somewhat by taking great care about my diet.
After reading your book, I decided to drink at least three liters of water a day, keeping a bottle on the floor by my desk and by my bedside at night. Since doing so, I have had a dramatic improvement in my symptoms. My depression has been less frequent and less able to take a hold, the symptoms in my arms are less severe, my energy has been up consistently, and I have been better able to keep up my motivation regarding my diet. My problems have never included weight gain, but my body has sometimes been rather flabby and low in muscle tone. I have noticed that if on a particular day I forget to drink the required amount of water, my symptoms recur or the improvement is less marked. I am trying therefore to keep up the habit.
I found your remarks about aspartame very helpful in writing my report. I understand that this and food additives are very hazardous and that their approval rests on studies which have been widely criticized. Indeed, aspartame and mono sodium glutamate(MSG), from what I have read, do appear to be implicated in many neurological and behavioural symptoms, and I wonder if train drivers and footballers could be among the people affected by them. I always avoid them, having suffered a very nasty attack after a chop-suey meal in 1976.
I particularly appreciated your book because the therapy does not suppress the human being's power to heal. You are most welcome to use my name and comments as a testimonial of the water therapy.
Yours sincerely.

Warning: It is true
that water is a medication in so many health problems of the human body, but too much water is just as dangerous as too much of any medication. Just use the simple water-cure protocol formula as found in previous postings here.
Dear respected reader, please do not try to reverse the serious problem of persistent and well-established dehydration of the body in one or two days. That will not help the body to regain it's proper hydration and health, either. The human body is the most complex chemical plant and physiological organism that needs time, and some additional primary ingredients to achieve its prior normal state once again. The human body is not like a car, the gas tank of which you can fill up without having to worry for the next few hundred miles.
You need to understand the way the human body works. Many citizens had just pass their human body-car to the general practitioner-doctor-car-mechanic and suffered the beyond repair conditions and worsen the malfunctions of other systems, instead of reversing the initial problems. This is the reason you need to read more and self-educate on the subject. This blog,Healthy Wealthhttp://theinnozablog.blogspot.com is intended and dedicated to show you the possibilities.
To achieve these possibilities for yourself and become your own healer, you need to read my other postings and other recommended references/links. They will show you how to tap into the new fountain of present knowledge about water in order to simply and naturally achieve vibrant health and a blessed longer, more productive and joyful life. All good things are possible, when you believe it is possible. First, a thought, the the word expressed , then the deeds.
For God's sake, if you are presently on any medication, do not cut out your serious medications without sufficient caution and consultation with your physician, even if s/he is in the opposite camp. Many doctors initially disregard the water-cure protocol formula, until they experienced it themselves. You need to coax him/her to read about and understand what dehydration is. Dehydration is different from thirsty; the former happened first ,then the latter is felt.
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get. Get wisdom and understanding in all your getting. There is only one small letter between the words CAN and CAN'T ...and that one letter will TOTALLY change your destiny. For life is a succession of lessons which we must be lived to be understood. And the best way, to my discovery, to become acquainted with a subject,like health and wealth, is to write and share about it, hence you are reading and enjoying this humble Healthy Wealth blog again.

This is the reason you need to read more and self-educate on the subject. This blog,Healthy Wealthhttp://theinnozablog.blogspot.com is intended and dedicated to show you the possibilities.
To achieve these possibilities for yourself and become your own healer, you need to read my other postings and other recommended references/links. They will show you how to tap into the new fountain of present knowledge about water in order to simply and naturally achieve vibrant health and a blessed longer, more productive and joyful life. All good things are possible, when you believe it is possible. First, a thought, the the word expressed , then the deeds.
For God's sake, if you are presently on any medication, do not cut out your serious medications without sufficient caution and consultation with your physician, even if s/he is in the opposite camp. Many doctors initially disregard the water-cure protocol formula, until they experienced it themselves. You need to coax him/her to read about and understand what dehydration is. Dehydration is different from thirsty; the former happened first ,then the latter is felt.
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get. Get wisdom and understanding in all your getting. There is only one small letter between the words CAN and CAN'T ...and that one letter will TOTALLY change your destiny. For life is a succession of lessons which we must be lived to be understood. And the best way, to my discovery, to become acquainted with a subject,like health and wealth, is to write and share about it, hence you are reading and enjoying this humble Healthy Wealth blog again.
A preoccupation with
the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange. Time our water intake daily , every 90 minute, drink 10 % of your own personal daily water quota, which is 31.42 (ml) multiply by your present body weight (kg). And use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet for every 1250 ml of water used.
Do first things first and second things none at all.
Wake up from bed, drink first glass of water.
Every 90 minute, drink another glass of water.
Before getting to sleep tonight, drink one/two glass of water.
(Put a pinch of salt on your tongue, if you are having problem to sleep soundly, not snoring, ZZZ.....)
Good night, sleep right, start tomorrow serenely.

Shortness of Breath : water cure protocol
Note: I always leave the name of doctors , whose letters I use, in the text in case potential patients could contact them for help in their own case. After all, that is what doctors are about. Here is one such letter:
Shortness of Breath:
Once in a blue moon one comes across a really revolutionary book. It happens so seldom that those moments stand out as highlights. Your book Your Body's Many Cries for Water is such a book and moreover I finally know to whom I thank you for recovery. This of course sounds strange so I will tell you.
In the summer of 1993 I was on vacation with my wife in Spain. On a hot day we went to the beach and paddled around in our rubber boat, that is to say, I paddled and my wife sat enjoying the water. Afterwards on the hottest moment of the day we climbed the steep rocky path back to our car and there and then my breath left me. I was 68 at the time so I was not too astonished but the strange thing was, that my breath did not return. Ten days later we came back from that holiday and my breath was still somewhere on that rocky path. At least it did not come home with me. I resumed my practice and still I was out of breath. I had X rays taken as I had treated a woman with an open T.B., but showed nothing.
When in the fall, my breath still had not come back, I really began to worry. Then a good friend of mine, a doctor in New York gave me a telephone call and he asked me "You talk differently, what is the matter with your breath?" I told him about it and he said : "You did not drink enough water, you're the victim of bronchial constriction and this is caused by your body trying to save your water supplies." I had never heard that one before, but I took his advice and began to drink 8 glasses of water a day and in one week all my breathlessness had evaporated as if it had never been there. Since then I realized that in my youth I drank a lot of water but somewhere along the road I had lost the habit, so I began to drink more pure water (as my friend had stressed).
Everything went well until winter. It was extremely cold in December, and I just stopped drinking all that cold water for a while. This happened to coincide with rather a strenuous dental repair, which was rather painful and suddenly I developed gastritis, with a tongue as white as snow. I suddenly remembered that my New York friend had told me that another pathway the human body chose to stop losing water was by closing the pylorus. I straight away started drinking 8 glasses of water again (happily the cold had lessened considerably) and within four days my stomach was healed, much to the surprise of a young colleague who worked with me at that moment and who never had heard of a gastritis healing so fast.
You asked for corroboration evidence, so this is why I send you this lengthy letter. I have been a medical practitioner for 27 years and after that (since 1981) I left general practice and now I am a consultant on allergy, food and chemical intolerances and holistic treatment of cancer. I have already used the water treatment for asthma in my extensive children's practice (half of my patients are under ten years old) and i definitely see results. So I can say from personal experience, both on myself and in my practice, that I can affirm what you have found. I will try to get your book printed in the Netherlands.
If ever you find time to s=write me back: There is a furious discussion going on in my doctors' group. One half says: No water in cancer patients, only fruit and vegetable juices. I belong to those who are saying : lots of pure water! I know that you will agree with me, but it would be nice if you affirm my knowledge.
Another thing is, you mention bulimia as one of the illnesses related to dehydration, but what about anorexia nervosa?
Finally, eczema is not only on the increase, but it becomes more and more resistant to anti-allergic measures (which in my practice means finding out the offending foods and chemical substances, etc.). Is that possibly a case of dehydration too? The American way of life (cola, etc) becomes more popular all the time in my country.
I understand fully when you find no time to write me back, but in any case, I want to thank you for having written your wonderful book. You are a worthy representative of one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
With many good wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Hans C. Moolenburgh
PS: I am convinced that my New York friend must have heard about your work and so could help me straight away. Did not ask him at the time how he came by this knowledge.
I would never have suspected people in a wet country like ours(Netherlands) to suffer from dehydration. It never entered my mind.

Depression; Suicidal: Water Cure
August 1995, I first became aware of your book : Your Body's Many Cries for Water. I will forever grateful for your years of research in reference to the role of water in the functioning of the human body. The chapter in the book pertaining to depression was the solution to over ten(10) years of struggle in my life.
In your book, your simple formula of drinking water at the rate of a minimum of two quarts (64 oz.=8glasses(size 8oz.) per day plus salt of 1/2 teaspoon over a 24-hour period had been the answer for my depression.
Because of my weight, I followed the additional suggested formula of 1/2 the body weight number = the ounces of water required to properly keep all the body cells fully hydrated. (100 lbs body weight use 50 oz of water intake; 150 lbs body weight use 75 oz water intake; 200 lbs body weight use 100 oz of water intake, so on) I make sure that I ingest at least 1/2 teaspoon of table salt (sodium chloride) with my food during the same 24-hour period.
I am 68-year-old retired chemical engineer. I had battle depression symptoms from 1985 until 1995. My wife, a nurse clinician,passed away in 1984. I was forced into early retirement after 33&1/2 years with a major oil company in 1985. Those people familiar with the role of high stress causing dehydration, as Figure 9 in your book, will understand my problem. In addition, I had bought into the idea that a low-salt diet was the way of good health. (Now, I know better).
Thus all the factors were in place for my body to show symptoms of depression. What I now know is that most of the anti-depressants used by doctors to treat patients with depression are also diuretics. I always manifested the symptom of extreme dry mouth sensation after being placed on anti-depressants.
The symptom of anxiety then comes forth because of the additional need for water by the body. Add a prescribed anti-anxiety pill and the patient(that's me) was on chemical teeter-totter trying to achieve a balance of a normal life. Plus, in the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR), in the listing for the above medications is the nice word "suicide."
I have struggled when on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication with the fleeting surges of the mind of wanting to die. However, I never had the courage to act out the desire. The ultimate solution that worked for me :Water and salt; the simple answer.
In summary, for over a year I have been free of the need to take any medication of any kind. In December 1995, I qualified with no medical restrictions for a Class physical for a private pilot's license. In addition, my annual eye check revealed that my eye peripheral vision had improved relative to previous annual tests. My belief is that the cells in the eye have become better hydrated and I can read now without glasses.
May the value of your research and protocol continue to spread and be understood.
Sincerely,
C.D., BS Chemical Engineering.

Breast cancer victim:
We would like to highlight this breast cancer story …
Yee Died After Extensive and Costly Medical Treatments
Life on earth is a living experience.
Let the death of Yee be a valuable lesson for many others who come after her.
Doctors, the media and patients always look to newer drugs and newer technologies as a new hope for treating illnesses. We have been hooked and made addicted to the idea that something new is always better. Herceptin and Tykerb are new bullets for cancer which are now beginning to appear in our local landscape. Are they better or dangerous?

How Water Cure Me.
I cannot get hold of the Dr who publishes the water cure, but maybe you can tell him - Thank you so very much, very much !
I developed diabetes type-2. My glucose reading at the time was 560 with 100+/- being the norm. My doctor almost killed me by over-medicating me with injectable insulin. A new doctor put me on Glucophage twice per day. Then I found the "water Cure " from a group in England. I believed Dr B said that it would take two months - it took three. My glucose readings are in the normal range, 87-115 fasting. I just cannot believe I am free of the diabetes.
I still have problems with occluded arteries, which preceded the diabetes, but I am working on that. I am aghast at how many suffer and die from diabetes and it can be cured. I drink at least 10 glasses of water a day. I am so tickled that I am going to live and not suffer from the disease or heart attack or brain attack.
This simple cure saved my life - how profoundly grateful I am. My wife drinks water now too. She was obese but has steadily been losing weight.
Thank you for what you are doing.
May God bless you,
Sean

Irritable and Intolerant:
Dr,
Would like to thank you for your hard work in getting the information about water out to the public. I have had such amazing results in just two weeks. I was drinking four Coke a day and maybe 16 to 32 ounces of water and lots of chocolate. Everyone has been begging me to stop the Cokes but it didn't hit home until I heard your program on the Art Bell show.
I started on 80 ounces of water and 1/4-teaspoon salt the next day. I cut down to only two Cokes a day and I'm weaning off of them slowly because I'm so addicted. I was very nervous and irritated over the least thing that would happen. Seemed like I was headed for a nervous breakdown because of stress in my life. I couldn't sleep soundly and all of my joints were aching.
Also, I felt my heart was very strained whenever I would walk up steps or exert myself; I would be out of breath. I had sinus headaches and took two Sine-Aids every day, which I'm sure didn't help. My daughter just graduated from college and moved back home and I couldn't handle living with someone.
My family and friends have been very concerned because I seemed to be losing self-control. When I started the water and salt I couldn't believe the results. I feel laid back and calm like I used to be. I'm getting along great with my family and friends and they commented on my changes and they have started the water also!
I have lost about five(5) pounds without dieting and I feel a lot more energy. Not the spurts of energy I used to feel, but I'm not dead tired when I get off work at 11:45 P.M. have a little reserve tank left. But , when I am tired I can now sleep instead of feeling like my mind will not stop racing. I used to never feel thirsty, just wanted a lift. Now, I am thirsty and craving the water and have always had to force myself to drink water before. I will keep going and get off the two Cokes and Sine-Aid and probably do even better. I ordered your tape on M.S.(Multiple Sclerosis) to pass on to three friends who have the disease. I will let you know what I hear back from them.
Sincerely,
M.L.

Weight Loss; Blood Pressure:
It is a pleasure to sit down and chronicle the effects that this lifestyle change has meant to me both professionally and personally. On a professionally basis, I was asked by AWANE Executive Director to listen to a tape called Your Bodies's Many Cries for Water.
The tape immediately created a desire for me to adopt its suggestions. I began this lifestyle change on June 10 and began drinking much more water daily. Since that start date, I have
*Lost 46 lbs
*Blood pressure at normal - no meds needed
*Skin elasticity has returned
*Athlete's foot cured
*Asthma medication reduced
*Pain in lower back eliminated
*Foot pain eliminated
*Diabetes symptoms gone
I have eliminated the diuretics mentioned in the book and have lost a taste or craving for those products.
Yours truly,
J.R.

PRESCRIPTION for a HEALTHY NATION (A New Approach to improving our Lives together by fixing our everyday world: using water-cure protocol formula)
I was browsing the Internet to see how many Web sites have become engaged in the dissemination of information on the medicinal properties of water, when I came across the article that I published below. i wrote to the author, and asked for permission to share his experience with the readers of this book. He graciously wrote me the following message and let me share his personal discovery of the pain-relieving property of water with you. The letter and the article come to you as their author wrote them.
==============================
Dr Batmanghelidj,
You have been my hero for a long time. I have told people that you are the undisputed leader in the world on the harmful effects of dehydration and the human need for water. Of course you may use my story in your new book. The story is from my book Pain Free for Life. It was just published this year. There are 80,000 copies in print. In the book I tell about you Dr. Batmanghelidj in several places. I would be honoured for you to use my story.

It Is Better to wet Your Pants than Live with Chronic Pain
"The extra water you drink when you take a pill does more good than the pill" - Darrell J. Stoddard, Copyright 1998
I couldn't walk across the floor for a hundred dollars a step when I first got up in the morning. My left ankle that I injured hurt so bad that I would nearly pass out if I put weight on it. Then after hopping around on one foot for a while I was able to hobble through the day. The thing that made my injury even more distressing is that I am a pain specialist who had stopped the pain in more than 9000 patients and I couldn't help myself.
My regular morning runs that I had been doing faithfully for 26 years came to an end. The goal of running like my acquaintance Larry Lewis (who at 103 years of age ran six miles every morning before going to work) was now impossible.
I had my foot X-rayed. There were no fractures or broken bones. I tried my own treatments, Bioelectric and Auricular Therapy. It did nothing for the pain. I had orthotics made, had my ankle taped, did all of the exercises given to me by a podiatrist, injected my foot with vitamin B-6 and B-12, injected all of the trigger points with procaine. I took vitamins and minerals of all kinds, tried glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, phenylalanine, blue-green algae, cod-liver oil, flaxseed oil and non-fat yogurt, pygnoginal, etc.
When all of the natural stuff failed , I tried aspirin, Tylenol and a number of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Some of these made the pain a little more bearable but when I stopped taking them the pain came back with a vengeance. I was obviously just masking the pain and making myself vulnerable for further injury. For nine months I tried everything ever heard of for pain, short of narcotics. By now I was getting desperate. My goal and dream of running till I was 100 years old was now just that, only a dream. people were coming to me from all over the world to stop their pain and I couldn't help myself.
I read the book Your Body's Many Cries for Water by F.Batmanghelidj, M.D. that I highly recommend. I started drinking more water, or at least thought i was, but I wasn't consistent enough to help and my pain continued.
A patient of mine who was an engineer developed a water softener/purification system that used potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. They came to our house to test the water and do a demonstration. The demonstration included filling a bowl full of water and showing how much chlorine was in it. I then was instructed to immerse my hand in the water, it was again again tested and the chlorine was all gone. I was told that the chlorine was absorbed by my hand and this is the reason I needed a whole house water conditioning system, not just the drinking water - because the chlorine which is a toxic poison would be absorbed into the body while taking a shower or a bath.
I told Dr.Remington with whom I work about the demonstration and he said, "Some of the chlorine may have been absorbed but most of it evaporated. That is why, you have to keep putting chlorine in a swimming pool, because it evaporates."
He then added, "If you want to solve the problem, let your drinking water sit overnight without a lid on it and all the chlorine will evaporate."
I started doing this and at the end of the day I could see how much water I did not drink. This routine reminded me to consistently drink more water. Lo and behold the painful foot that stopped me from running and crippled me for none months got better.
Now each morning I can again go running like I did before the injury. Through the experience, I learned as much about stopping pain as I did in a lifetime of study.
Dr Batmanghelidj is right, when we are in pain our bodies are "crying for water."
Besides having the pain in my foot go away, another interesting change came to my life, several times a day I have to run for the bathroom like a little child, something I haven't done for more than fifty years. One of these days I'm not going to make it, but it will be worth it.
I knew better. One of my father's favourite sayings was, "The extra water you drink when you take a pill does more good than the pill."
PRESCRIPTION for a HEALTHY NATION (A New Approach to improving our Lives together by fixing our everyday world: using water-cure protocol formula)
I was browsing the Internet to see how many Web sites have become engaged in the dissemination of information on the medicinal properties of water, when I came across the article that I published below. i wrote to the author, and asked for permission to share his experience with the readers of this book. He graciously wrote me the following message and let me share his personal discovery of the pain-relieving property of water with you. The letter and the article come to you as their author wrote them.
==============================
Dr Batmanghelidj,
You have been my hero for a long time. I have told people that you are the undisputed leader in the world on the harmful effects of dehydration and the human need for water. Of course you may use my story in your new book. The story is from my book Pain Free for Life. It was just published this year. There are 80,000 copies in print. In the book I tell about you Dr. Batmanghelidj in several places. I would be honoured for you to use my story.

It Is Better to wet Your Pants than Live with Chronic Pain
"The extra water you drink when you take a pill does more good than the pill" - Darrell J. Stoddard, Copyright 1998
I couldn't walk across the floor for a hundred dollars a step when I first got up in the morning. My left ankle that I injured hurt so bad that I would nearly pass out if I put weight on it. Then after hopping around on one foot for a while I was able to hobble through the day. The thing that made my injury even more distressing is that I am a pain specialist who had stopped the pain in more than 9000 patients and I couldn't help myself.
My regular morning runs that I had been doing faithfully for 26 years came to an end. The goal of running like my acquaintance Larry Lewis (who at 103 years of age ran six miles every morning before going to work) was now impossible.
I had my foot X-rayed. There were no fractures or broken bones. I tried my own treatments, Bioelectric and Auricular Therapy. It did nothing for the pain. I had orthotics made, had my ankle taped, did all of the exercises given to me by a podiatrist, injected my foot with vitamin B-6 and B-12, injected all of the trigger points with procaine. I took vitamins and minerals of all kinds, tried glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, phenylalanine, blue-green algae, cod-liver oil, flaxseed oil and non-fat yogurt, pygnoginal, etc.
When all of the natural stuff failed , I tried aspirin, Tylenol and a number of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Some of these made the pain a little more bearable but when I stopped taking them the pain came back with a vengeance. I was obviously just masking the pain and making myself vulnerable for further injury. For nine months I tried everything ever heard of for pain, short of narcotics. By now I was getting desperate.

Piety requires us
to honour truth above our friends. Everyone of us has a book inside of us dying to be out. Do not die with the book still inside of us. Blog on.
The Doctrine of trichotomy, which teaches 'man' is a three-fold being: spirit, soul and body.
The "soul" is the manifestation of the "spirit." The soul is the nature of the spirit. The body is the nature of the soul.
Soul is controlled by information, memory, affection, conscience, emotion, reason, intellect.
Keep your spirit healthy, your soul will prosper, and your body will blossom beautifully.

"Secret weapons" against
high blood pressure.
When we talk about heart disease, we're really talking about a disease of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.
A heart attack occurs when the coronary arteries fail to get enough blood to that muscle and it begins to die from lack of oxygen. Merely putting the victim in an oxygen tank will not solve the effects of heart failure either. It is the capacity and capability to perform of the heart that's the matter, not the availability of the oxygen in the atmosphere.
A stroke happens when the carotid arteries in the neck can't provide sufficient blood and oxygen to the brain, most typically when a clot forms in a narrowed carotid artery.
In many discussions of cholesterol, cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and other risk factors, we tend to forget the importance of the arteries themselves.
The human arteries may be illustrated in terms of our water plumbing, although not in the simplistic way that's commonly imagined. The arteries plaque, as arterial blockage is properly termed, doesn't accumulate on the inner walls of the arteries the way calcium builds up on our house's bathroom plumbing. rather, arterial blockage is a complex process that develops inside the layers of the walls of those arteries.
