The most important factor for survival – after water, air, salt, and food – is exercise. Exercise is more important to the health of the individual than sex, entertainment, or anything else that might be pleasurable. The following points explain the importance of exercise for better health and a longer, pain-free life.
1.Exercise expands the vascular system in the muscle tissue and prevents hypertension.
2.It opens the capillaries in the muscle tissue and by lower the resistance to blood flow in the arterial system, causes blood pressure to drop to normal.
3.Exercise stimulates the activity of fat-burning enzymes for manufacture of the constantly needed energy for muscle activity. When you train, you are in effect changing the source of energy for muscle activity. You convert the energy source from sugar that is in circulation to fat that is stored in the muscle itself.
4.Exercise makes muscles burn, as additional fuel, some of the amino acids that would otherwise reach toxic levels in the body. In their greater-than-normal levels in the blood—usually reached in an unexercised body—certain branched-chain amino acids cause a drastic destruction and depletion to other vital amino acids. Some of these discarded essential amino acids are constantly needed by the brain to manufacture its neurotransmitters. Two of these essential amino acids are tryptophan and tyrosine. A more important role of tryptophan than its use as a precursor of neurotransmitters in the brain is its role in an enzyme system that recognizes and repairs incorrect DNA transcriptions. The brain also uses tryptophan to make serotonin, melatonin, tryptamine, and indolamine, all of which are antidepressants and regulate sugar levels and blood pressure. Tyrosine is used for the manufacture of adrenalin, noradrenaline, dopamine—vital for the coordination of body physiology when it has to take physical action such as fighting, running, playing sports, and so on. Excess tyrosine loss from the amino acid reserves of the body is also a primary factor in Parkinson’s disease.
5.Unexercised muscle gets broken down. As a result of the excretion of muscle parts from the body, some of the reserves of zinc and vitamin B6 also get lost. At a certain stage of this constant depletion of vitamin B6 and zinc, certain mental disorders and neurological complications occur. In effect, this happens in autoimmune diseases, including lupus and muscular dystrophy.
6.Exercise makes the muscles hold more water in reserve and prevents increased concentration of blood, which would otherwise damage the lining of the blood vessel walls.
7.Exercise lowers blood sugar in diabetics and decreases their need for insulin or tablet medications.
8.Exercise compels the liver to manufacture sugar from the fat that it stores or the fat that is circulating within the blood.
9.Exercise causes an increase in the mobility of the joints in the body. It causes the creation of an intermittent vacuum inside the joint cavities. The force of the vacuum causes suction of water into the cavity. Water in the joint cavity brings dissolved nutrients to the cells inside the cartilage. Increased water content of the cartilage also adds to its lubrication and smoother bone-on-bone gliding movements of the joint.
10.Leg muscles act as secondary hearts. By their contractions and relaxations during the time we are upright, the leg muscles overcome the force of gravity. They pump into the venous system the blood that was sent to the legs. Because of the pressure breakers—and one-directional valves in the vein—the blood in the leg veins is pushed upward against gravity by frequent contraction of the leg muscles. This is how the leg muscles act as hearts for the venous system in the body. This is a value to exercise that not many people appreciate. Leg muscles also cause an equally effective flow within the lymphatic system and cause edema in the legs to disappear.
11.Exercise strengthens the bones of the body and helps prevent osteoporosis.
12.Exercise increases the production of all vital hormones, enhancing libido and heightening sexual performance.
13.One hour of walking will cause the activation of fat-burning enzymes, which remain active for twelve hours. A morning and afternoon walk will keep these enzymes active around the clock and will cause clearance of cholesterol deposits in the arterial system.
14.Exercise will enhance the activity of the adrenaline-operated sympathetic nerve system. Adrenaline will also reduce the over-secretion of histamine and, as a result, will prevent asthma attacks and allergic reactions—provided the body is fully hydrated.
15.Exercise will increase production of endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins, the natural opiates of the body. They produce the same “high” that drug addicts try to achieve through their abusive intake.
WHAT ARE THE BEST FORMS OF EXERCISE?
Exercising the body for endurance is better than exercising it for speed or for building excess muscle. In selecting an exercise, you should consider its lifetime value. A long-distance runner will enjoy the exercise value of long-distance runs into old age. A sprinter will not sprint for exercise at a later phase of life.
The best exercise that you can enjoy—even to a ripe old age, and without causing damage to your joints—is walking. Other exercises that will increase your endurance are swimming, golf, skiing, skating, climbing, tennis, squash, bicycling, tai chi, dancing, yoga, and aerobics. In selecting an exercise, evaluate its ability to keep the fat-burning enzymes active for longer durations. Outdoor forms of exercise are more beneficial to the body than indoor. The body becomes better connected to nature.
The four most vital steps to better health are: balancing the water and salt content of the body, exercising the muscle mass of the body—more effective in the open and in sunlight—taking a balanced daily diet of proteins and vegetables, and avoiding dehydrating beverages. These simple steps will be effective in the prevention of disease and are the foundation to any cure process the body needs to undergo.
Parkinson's Disease
The most important thing in this show tv program about Parkinsons comes around 3/4 the way thru when they take 2 moneys and inject both of them with something that will give them Parkinson's rather quickly.
One monkey walked a treadmill all the time and the other was not allowed to walk it.
The one that didn't walk the treadmil got Parkinson's BUT the one that DID walk the treadmill DID NOT get Parkinson's.
The moral here, WALK EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

Dear Mr. Butts
I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for the great work you are doing. I have watched you on some TV shows (on the internet) and know about all that you are doing for your fellow-men. Will the water cure work for someone with Parkinson’s disease? A friend is suffering from this and has spent a fortune on doctors, without any success. I have a feeling water and salt will help but just want confirmation. As for myself, I have an enlarged prostate. Will the water cure reduce the size of my prostate? Thanks again for your service to victims of the medico-pharmaceutical industry. May God grant you joy in your mission.

Hello Anthony
Thank you so much for your kind words. According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, dehydration is the main cause of Parkinson's Disease. I need to get a page of information of it on our site. Jim, our trouble shooter will put something together. I have an enlarged prostate and it did not work for me although a friend said it cured his. Have you examined our watercure2.org site thoroughly? also be sure to download the free book.
Anthony, Parkinson's is when part of the brain is lacking some very important minerals and amino acids. Providing your friend stops all tea, coffee, soda, alcohol and chocolate he then has a good chance of pulling out of his Parkinson's. I need to know something about your friend. Does he get headaches? Have low energy? Get lower back aches? Does his ankles swell? Are his lungs clear, no breathing problems? Heart is working ok? No blood sugar problem? Does he wear glasses? What foods does he normally eat? You can try and show him what the water and salt will do for him by giving him some orange juice but first I suggest you have him put 3/4 g of sea salt on the end of his tongue and wait for 30 seconds if he is ok then have him drink one glass (250 ml) of orange juice washing down the salt. Then have him put coat the end of his tongue with some sea salt. If this helps with the tremors then have him do another round of sea salt and orange juice. If you had some liquid chlorophyll and he took some of it straight and put a little of it on his tongue like half and ounce (15 cc) and waited for one minute then take just a swallow of plain water and put some more salt on his tongue. This would show you and him the power of water/salt and magnesium. A spoon full of honey on the tongue and wait for a minute and then put some salt on the tongue waiting for another minute followed by 4 oz of cold water might also do something. He needs to be eating food rich in amino acids like Eggs, beans, nuts, cheese and fresh fish (live kill). He also needs to eat some potato's or pasta with all meals. He also needs to be taking B-6 100 mg morning and with evening meal. Also he needs to be taking 50 mg of zinc after eating morning meal another 50 mg zinc with the noon meal or after eating it and another 50 mg of zinc after the evening meal. The same is true for you and your prostate problem. Both of you need half your weight in ounces of water each day. But don't push the water to fast or it will run through you to fast. The water must stay inside you for at least 2 hrs except first thing in the morning. Important.... IF HE GETS to feeling bad from doing the orange juice and salt or salt on his tongue then you would quickly put some ice on the side of his neck and keep it there until it gets very cold and then move it over to the other side of his neck. This will stop the problem of him feeling badly. You could use a cold soda can. In many cases the orange juice and salt followed with the liquid chlorophyll will reduce the tremors by 50 % and some times 90% in just 15 minutes. If he improves a lot with the second glass of OJ then I suggest you give him another one. He needs to eat as many eggs as he can. Please let me know how it turns out. His vision will improve. Just make sure that you have some ice handy in case you need it. If he feels sick the ice will stop this problem. I'm sending an attachment for you to read also. I hope this will be of some help for now.

Important Tips To Know
Before Starting The Water Cure Program
You must be sure your kidneys are working ok. This means liquid in results in liquid out. For example: the amount of water or other beverages taken in should be urinated during the day.
Here are Dr. Batman’s recommendations:
-The “rule of thumb” for water is half your body weight in ounces taken throughout the day. A little less or even a little more is ok.
-The “rule of thumb” for salt is 1/8 tsp( ¾ g ) of salt per 16 oz ( ½ liter ) of water.
-If you have any swelling of your feet, ankles, legs, arms, fingers, eyelids you must stop all salt for 2 to 3 days and just drink the water. The exception to this would be swelling from an injury/accident.
You probably just rolled your eyes to the back of your head saying, “Are you nuts… that’s a lot of water to drink”. Actually, it’s quite simple to accomplish this when taken in say… 8 glasses of water spaced throughout the day.
For example, lets take a 192 pound person. Half their body weight is 96 pounds. Change that to 96 ounces. Divide that by 8, for the number of glasses you are going to drink, which equals 12 ounces. You would be drinking 8 (12 ounce) glasses of water per day. Now… wouldn’t you agree that drinking the water this way it is easy to do?
If you do not drink this much water right now, you must start adding the extra water very slowly. This gives your body time to adjust to the added water intake. If you don’t, the water will act like a water pill (diuretic), pulling necessary minerals from your body, possibly causing more harm than good. Senior citizens and children MUST start adding the extra water slowly.
Here’s how to increase your water intake slowly. Using the above example, start out with (3) – 8 oz glasses of water your first day. The next day add one or two glasses. Keep doing this until your required glasses per day is reached. Now start increasing the ounces until your total per glass is reached.
Please keep in mind; it’s only a rule of thumb on half your body weight in ounces of water and 1/8 tsp of salt for every 16 oz of water. Some people will require a little more water where others will require a little more salt.
After a while, the body’s requirements can change for a little more water and salt because of hot weather, cold weather or exercise. Each person must find his or her body’s requirement at this time.
Never drink more than 33.8 oz (1 liter) of water maximum at one time (or one sitting).
-Children ages 2 and up will need 75% of their body weight in ounces of water per day, because their bodies are growing all the time and every cell in their expanding body needs this extra water (mytosis).
-Children that are active or playing sports can require up to 100% of their body weight in ounces of water per day.
-The water cure program does not apply to newborns up to 2 years of age.
Iodized table salt will work in a pinch, but unrefined non-oven-dried sea salt is best, because of the extra trace minerals found in it. Sea salt also tastes better.
There are four ways to take the salt:
-One of the most popular ways is to mix the salt into the water. This salt will improve the taste of most water by making it a little sweet.
-The second way is to just toss the salt into your mouth and drink the water over the salt, washing it down.
-If you are very salt-sensitive then you would get some empty capsules and put the amount of salt you require into the capsules and take it with food.
-You could also just put the extra salt on your food. The only problem with that is acquiring a taste for very salty food.
You need to read the “histamine article” so you can better understand how to tell when you need more salt, more water or more potassium (which is found in most foods).
It is very important for you to have one of Dr. Batman’s books. A suggestion would be “ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus” or his latest book “Obesity, Cancer and Depression”. The ABC book contains a lot more than what the title says.
There are 6 pages in each book on why a person needs salt and what it does in the human body.
CAUTION ON SWELLING
If you have any swelling of your feet, ankles, legs, arms, fingers, eyelids or excessive diarrhea you must stop all salt for 2 to 3 days, just drink the water. The exception to this would be swelling from an injury/accident. Note: Too much salt can cause diarrhea.
Then begin taking the salt again, but add it back slowly. You should use no more than
1/8 tsp ( ¾ g ) of salt per 16 oz ( ½ liter ) of water.
Dr. Batman says drinking plain water by itself will flush out all the extra salt the body was holding in the cells and help clean out the system. The water will run through you very quickly pulling very important minerals from the body. It is suggested you take a multi-vitamin with all three main meals to replace what minerals might have been pulled out.
When the swelling is gone, you can restart the program of drinking half your body weight in ounces of water. This time however, you will take it in small amounts throughout the day, slowly increasing the amount of water until up to half your weight in ounces of water has been reached. Also start taking the salt with the water.
You must also make sure you are getting at least 150 mcg of iodine in your multi-vitamins each day, up to a maximum of 450 mcg of iodine each day.
Water should stay inside your body for 2-3 hours so your body has time to use the water properly.
If you are peeing (urinating) sooner than 2-3 hours after drinking your water, you should stop drinking plain water and switch to drinking orange juice, lemonade, grape/cranberry juice or any other juice. One point of caution… asthmatics should never drink orange juice.
Note: When drinking orange juice, you should add 1/8 teaspoon of salt per 8 ounces.
If drinking juice does not work, the next thing to try is experimenting with drinking your juice while eating a bagel. This means:
· Drink and eat the bagel at the same time… or
· Eat the bagel first then drink your juice
· Optional – increasing the salt to 1/8 tspn salt per 8 ounces, when you are eating the bagel may help retain the water longer
You can put cream cheese, real butter or jam on the bagel.
After using a whole bagel for a day or two, then you can cut down to using half a bagel, then a quarter and just stop the bagel and use your food to take with the juice.
Here is how you should slowly go from drinking juice to going back to drinking plain water again. After a few days you should try drinking 2 ounces of plain water a half hour before eating food. Then you can increase the water to 4 ounces a half hour before eating food. Next it would be 6 ounces, then 8 ounces and so on until up to your required amount.
Have you every heard the saying, “we are mostly made of water”. This is the reason why:
-Our blood is 94% water
-Our brain is 85 % water
-Our soft tissue cells are 75 % water

Dear Mr. Bolen,
Many, many thanks for your e-mails! My friend is in Indonesia and I will forward your e-mails to him.
I must say you all are really wonderful people. You give hope to the hopeless. You cure those who are considered incurable while saving them tens of thousands of dollars. I am really humbled, touched and awestruck by your kindness.
May The Lord Jesus Christ continue to uphold you and bless you in all you are doing.

· Eat the bagel first then drink your juice
· Optional – increasing the salt to 1/8 tspn salt per 8 ounces, when you are eating the bagel may help retain the water longer
You can put cream cheese, real butter or jam on the bagel.
After using a whole bagel for a day or two, then you can cut down to using half a bagel, then a quarter and just stop the bagel and use your food to take with the juice.
Here is how you should slowly go from drinking juice to going back to drinking plain water again. After a few days you should try drinking 2 ounces of plain water a half hour before eating food. Then you can increase the water to 4 ounces a half hour before eating food. Next it would be 6 ounces, then 8 ounces and so on until up to your required amount.
Have you every heard the saying, “we are mostly made of water”. This is the reason why:
-Our blood is 94% water
-Our brain is 85 % water
-Our soft tissue cells are 75 % water
