CHAPTER 5 WHAT IS CHRONIC DEHYDRATION?

WHAT IS CHRONIC DEHYDRATION

Imagine a juicy plum picked from the tree and left exposed to the sun or wind—it becomes a prune. The dehydration of the plum produces the shriveled interior and wrinkled skin that are typical of a drying fruit. Loss of water causes the internal and external structures of living things to change, be that dehydration in a fruit or in a person. 

There are up to one hundred trillion cells in the body of a human being. Depending on the area where the dehydration has settled most, the cells in that region begin to wrinkle, and their inner functions are affected. A shortage of water in any region is reflected by different signals that denote dehydration and are the body's 
indicators of its local or general thirst. At present, these indicators of dehydration of the body, some of which I listed in a previous chapter, are not understood and are treated as indicators of disease conditions of unknown origin. 

IDENTIFYING DEHYDRATION 

• What are the common indicators of dehydration? 
• What happens to our bodies when we don't drink enough water? 
• What is “enough” water? 

We now need to find the answer to these three important questions. A must-do before we begin: You need to turn on your brain's logic powers and put aside any preconceived ideas you might have. Whatever you have read about health matters in the past probably did not reflect the true importance of water to health and well-being. 

From my perspective, there are three different sets of sensations that signal local or general thirst. At most of these stages, the presenting symptoms are reversible without much damage. 

1. The General Perceptive “Feelings” 

They include feeling tired, feeling flushed, feeling irritable, feeling anxious, feeling dejected, feeling depressed, not sleeping well, feeling heavy-headed, having irresistible cravings, and having a fear of crowds and leaving the house. Some of these will be discussed in the next chapter. 

2. The Drought-Management Programs 
The second group of conditions that represent indicators of dehydration are the body's drought-and resource-management programs. There are five distinct conditions that denote states of dehydration and operative rationing processes that can be corrected easily. The sixth in this group consists of a number of conditions that have been classified as autoimmune diseases, but should be looked at as a sort of cannibalistic process of resource management at the expense of the body's own tissues brought about by persistent dehydration. The conditions are: 

1. Asthma 
2. Allergies 
3. Hypertension 
4. Constipation 
5. Type II diabetes 
6. Autoimmune diseases 

3. The More Drastic Emergency Indicators of Local Dehydration 
After much clinical and scientific research, my understanding is this: Depending on the location of acid buildup inside the cells, the following forms of pain are early indicators of potential genetic damage produced by chronic dehydration in the human body: 

1. Heartburn 
2. Dyspeptic pain 
3. Anginal pain 
4. Lower back pain 
5. Rheumatoid joint pains, including ankylosing spondylitis 
6. Migraine headaches 
7. Colitis pain 
8. Fibromyalgic pains 
9. Bulimia 
10. Morning sickness during pregnancy 

There is a further set of conditions that represent complications, tissue transformation, and organ damage caused by persistent dehydration in the fourth dimension, time. Each of these conditions will be explained thoroughly in upcoming chapters.
