CHAPTER 9 DEHYDRATION AND DISEASE

CHAPTER 9 - Water: For Healing, For Health, For Life.

DEHYDRATION AND DISEASE 

The following conditions are produced by persistent dehydration in the fourth dimension, time: the time it takes for the damage to slowly erode the body, emerge, and show itself in a characteristic way that can be identified and labeled according to various symptoms we routinely come across. These conditions (states of dehydration) have been labeled “diseases of unknown origin” by the mainstream medical establishment. Creation of jargons around different ways the body shows it is dehydrated seems to have given the main-stream medical establishment license to treat these manifestations of dehydration with bizarre and unnecessary protocols. Some of these conditions include: 

1. Obesity 
2. Raised low-density cholesterol in the blood circulation 
3. Raised triglycerides 
4. Cholesterol plaque formation in the arteries 
5. Coronary thrombosis 
6. Osteoporosis 
7. Osteoarthritis 
8. Heart failure 
9. Repeated strokes 
10. Juvenile diabetes 
11. Alzheimer's disease 
12. Multiple sclerosis 
13. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease 
14. Muscular dystrophy 
15. Parkinson's disease 
16. Scleroderma 
17. Cancers 
18. AIDS 

What has been discovered for the first time in the history of modern science-based medicine is the way to prevent and cure degenerative diseases of the human body—simply and naturally with water. The cause of these health problems has been discovered and exposed for everyone's benefit. In short, prevent dehydration to prevent disease! 

Some of the conditions listed above have already been discussed. 

In this chapter 9 we will discuss obesity. The other topics will be discussed under separate chapters and headings. 

OBESITY 

A simple solution to obesity is of interest to many, many people. I think if we understand the relationship of overeating to the dehydration of the body, we will also understand how to prevent obesity. The next step is how to reduce the volume of fat that has been deposited. The answer to both these enigmas is simple. To 
institute the advice, however, you need discipline and ddetermination. It should also be remembered that the metabolism of fat, in a way to reduce many pounds of excess weight, is a slow process if it is to be done without adverse effects to your general health. The most important step in this direction is to build a mental image of a slimmer you. Visualize your body with many pounds off it. Store this image in your subconscious mind and keep impressing upon your brain your desire for this outcome. 

There are two general sensations associated with eating habits. The one for food is often termed hunger pain. The second is a sensation for thirst. Both are felt in the same area and are brought about by histamine. It is easy to confuse the two signals and to think we are hungry when we are really thirsty. We mistakenly think we are thirsty only when the mouth becomes dry. Relying on the dry mouth stage of dehydration is the basic problem. This signal for water intake is a last-stagesituation and is often seen after heavy eating. The best way to separate the sensation of thirst from that of hunger is to drink water before food. In some animal species, this order is maintained. Animals make an early-morning visit to a water source before going into the field for grazing, even when vegetation with high water content is their diet. In humans, the reverse has become a habit. We often first take food and then water—and sometimes only after the body gets thoroughly dehydrated by the intake of solid foods that use up the available free water in the body. This, I believe, is the root cause of obesity. 

Obese people consume food to satisfy the initial calls of histamine for water. This is because food is also converted to ATP and is more satisfying to the taste buds than water. To satisfy the brain's needs for ATP, however, water is infinitely more efficient and immediately more effective. With food we can generate energy for brain function only from sugar. However, we consume five times more than the full needs of the brain itself. After all, only about 20 percent of the circulation goes to the brain. The other 80 percent, now laden with sugar, goes to the other organs, including fat cells that store the sugar in the form of fat. The more food we eat, the  more sugar will end up as fat, when all the time the brain wanted water to generate hydroelectricity, a clean source of energy. 

Over time, this process of histamine response to dehydration, or mental and social stresses of the body, can become the basis for overeating when the initial need of the body is simply water by itself. Thus, dehydration of the body can be the root cause of obesity that is more often than not associated with hypertension and will ultimately lead to diabetes at a later stage. The information on diabetes (see chapter 7, click here) will complement this understanding of obesity. 

There is a very simple solution to this problem. A half hour before each meal of the day, and two and a half hours after each meal, drink two glasses of water. It seems to take about a half hour before the physiology in search of water is separated from that of hunger for food. You will feel full and will eat only when food is needed. The volume of food intake will decrease drastically. The type of craving for food will also change. With sufficient water intake, we tend to crave proteins more than fattening carbohydrates. 

The next desirable step is the shedding of already gained fat. Increased water intake by itself will begin to reduce some of the gained weight. About eight to fourteen pounds may be lost in less than three weeks. This immediate weight loss will be from the collection of edema fluid that is stored in the tissues to operate the reverse-system of water delivery into vital cells. If, in addition to increased water intake, you activate hormone-sensitive, fat-burning enzymes, the weight loss will be more pronounced and well proportioned. 

Gross obesity afflicts 37 percent of the American population. Now even children are getting grossly obese. It is estimated that obesity prematurely kills more than four hundred thousand people every year. Yet this killer disease can be prevented, and even cured, by proper hydration. The reason is simple. Collecting and storing fat is one of the major complications of dehydration. It is caused when the sensation of thirst is confused with the sensation of hunger, and instead of drinking water, the person eats. Brain function prefers to receive clean energy (so to speak) from hydroelectricity. When it is forced to use dirty energy from food, only 20 percent of this energy reaches the brain. Unless used in movement, exercise, or energy-con-sum- occupations, the rest of the energy from food is stored in the form of fat. 

SINGAPORE PUBLISHED , JUN 20, 2017, 5:00 AM SGT. In just seven years, Singapore could reach a tipping point and lose valuable ground in fighting obesity. This warning came as the Health Promotion Board (HPB) released its most extensive data on Singaporeans and obesity to date. If nothing is done, Singapore could hit obesity rates of 15 per cent in just seven years, said Dr Annie Ling, who is director of the policy, research and surveillance division at the HPB. That was the point at which obesity increased rapidly in the United States, where it is now considered an epidemic. People who are obese are at higher risk of developing health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. 

SINGAPORE PUBLISHED, March 14, 2018.
 The latest figures from the Ministry of Health (MOH), which showed that last year, 36.2 per cent of Singaporeans aged 18 to 69 are overweight. This is a drop from 2010, when a national survey found 40.1 per cent of adults here overweight.

In contrast, 13 per cent of children in mainstream schools were overweight in 2017, a slight rise from the 11 per cent in 2011, said Senior Minister of State for Health, Amy Khor on Wednesday (March 14, 2018) in a speech that highlighted the importance of inculcating healthy habits in the young.

"An unhealthy body weight in childhood is likely to persist and progress later in life, leading to an increased risk of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke," said Dr Khor, who was speaking at an event at Giant Tampines.

When fat is formed and stored, its breakdown is initiated only by specific chemical commands. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down fat and converts the lumps into small fatty acid particles that are then used by the muscles and in the liver. Certain hormones that regulate body activity stimulate lipase activity. At the top of the list is adrenaline of the sympathetic nervous system. It has been shown that a glass of water stimulates the sympathetic nervous system for one and a half to two hours. The end result of adrenaline secretion is clearly a gradual loss of stored fat and a dramatic reduction of excess weight. This kind of weight loss is more stable and permanent than other ways of dieting and reducing calorie intake. 

The fat-burning enzymes are sensitive to the hormones of physical activity— Adrenaline and its family. These hormones are produced when the muscles are active and begin to burn fat as their staple diet— hence the value of regular walks. I have seen some people lose twenty-five to forty-five pounds in a comparatively short period of time through increased water intake and increased regular exercise. I have seen a man lose 290 pounds in one year; another lost 305 pounds in sixteen months. One of them needed two operations to remove the loose skin from his body. You will read testimonials of dramatic weight loss with my protocol. With my  approach to weight regulation, not much dieting will be needed. You are free to eat any form of food the body calls for. The body itself becomes selective. All the body sensations become sharp, including the selection sensors that identify the body's needs. 

The direct connection between muscle activity and stimulation of the hormone-sensitive lipase was discovered in Sweden. A few years ago, the Swedish army did a field test on a company of soldiers that was taken on a three-week march. At repeated intervals, blood samples were taken and various tests were done to monitor the impact of marching on the body physiology of the soldiers. They discovered that after an hour's march, the same hormone-sensitive lipase became active and stayed in the circulation for no less than twelve hours. They also discovered that 
continuous walking had a cumulative effect; the activity of the enzyme could be measured around the clock and in a much more pronounced way. In effect, the outcome of this experiment indicates that two sessions of daily walks would program the body into a round-the-clock fat-burning mode. Thus, walking should always be a part of any weight-loss program. One success story of how water was effective in a dramatic weight-reduction program is presented in the letter below. 

Dear Dr. Batman, 
For most of my life, I have been overweight. Every family has a “fat child” and this was me. I was told that I was just “big boned” and I should be content with who I was. Then I heard about The Water Cure. I was skeptical at first, because how could drinking iced tea and cola be such a problem? But I thought that all I really had to lose was my weight. Over a period of a year and a half, I have lost approximately 100 pounds and am no longer the “fat kid” that everyone knew.

But besides losing the weight, I have noticed that acid reflux, which had been a major part of my life, was also now gone. I could now enjoy foods that previously had brought me nothing but sickness. I have also noticed that I no longer get ear infections that also seemed commonplace and inevitable problems of life to me at one time. 

I also have more energy and feel as if I have become a whole new person. I have energy to do things that would have easily worn me out previously. 

Thank you Dr. Batman for helping me! 


Losing weight through proper hydration of the body, some salt intake, and exercise is more prudent than drastic dieting. Complications of drastic dieting and of focusing only on the readings of the weight scale can cause an unbalanced intake of essential ingredients and precipitate deficiency diseases. The good thing about water as the primary source of clean energy is the fact that any excess is passed out in the form of urine. Fat, on the other hand, has to be burned through many steps until it is converted to carbon dioxide and passed out in the lungs.

Woman's World Magazine of September 4, 2001, dedicated its cover and two inside pages to a dramatic splash on the weight-loss program of The Water Cure. 

Finola Hughes Woman's World Magazine September 4, 2001( Buy 1 Get others at 50%)


The headline read, REVOLUTIONARY MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH, THE SLIMMING NEW WATER CURE! LEARN HOW TO DRINK AWAY 40 LBS. OR MORE! 

The cover shows a picture of Finola Hughes (click here) , star of the television series All My Children, who lost thirty pounds without dieting. Among other stories, the article also highlights how a radio talk-show host lost forty pounds without effort and has
gone down from a size 20 to a size 14. She not only lost her flab, she also got rid of her hot flashes, fatigue, aching joints, and sinus headaches, all in one sweep. 

Unfortunately, the children in America are now showing an astounding tendency to gain weight. This subject has become an issue in the media and within the government. Fat children and adolescents are showing a tendency toward developing the same diseases as grownups, such as early-onset type II diabetes, known as adult-onset diabetes. The reason, I believe, is twofold. One, they are being pushed into overeating by the food industry's constant advertising that promotes different fast foods. Two, these children are pushed to drink sweetened drinks instead of water. Any form of sweetness sensed by the tongue will stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin. Insulin is a weight-gain-promoting (anabolic) hormone; it promotes fat cells to convert sugar and carbohydrates in the diet into fat. 

Let me briefly touch on the importance of salt to weight loss. When the body becomes dehydrated and needs to increase its water reserves, it can do so only if salt is available to expand the extracellular water content of the body. In dehydration, the body seeks salt in the foods that are eaten. This search for salt is another reason for overeating. 

If ever you wonder about the validity of water as the natural “preventive” medication in staying slim and in avoiding the many diseases listed above, remember: Dehydration means shortage of water in the body. It means that a rationing system goes into effect for the available water in the body to determine when, why, and 
where water should reach various parts of the body. Naturally, the areas that become comparatively dry cannot function normally. These regional or local abnormally functioning areas often produce pain and, eventually, the degenerative disease conditions. 

Another way to understand the situation is to compare the effect of dehydration in the body with a shortage of cash flow within the business community in any society. In an economic slump, when the public is not spending money, all business sectors suffer to some extent, some more than others. People cannot go without food, so the producers of food will survive, but not thrive. The housing industry will shrink, the banking industry will suffer from bankruptcies, the car industry will sustain losses, the travel and tourism industry will go broke, and so on. 

Another reason why the brain gets priority for water distribution is the inability of brain cells to give birth to new daughter cells. They are one-time-living units. If they die, no other cell takes their place. From birth to death, the same cells become educated, cultured, and more and more responsible for controlling the routine functions of the body. To make sure brain cells do not suffer or come to harm, they receive 20 percent of the total circulation, although they constitute only 2 percent of body weight. 

Dehydration also causes damage to the liver and its essential manufacturing systems. The liver is the manufacturing and exporting center of many of the most vital elements in the body. It is also the center for detoxification of the chemical by-products of the body. If the liver becomes dehydrated, a number of functions can be lost, some permanently. Likewise, the body's muscles and joints—its locomotive systems— sustain serious damage in dehydration.
