The Story Behind "Beating HFMD:Drink water"

Here you can learn the story behind the "Beating HFMD: Drink water" on The Straits Times (Singapore) Online Story, ST Forum , May 9, 2008 Friday.

Beating HFMD : Drink water

THE rising number of reported hand, foot and mouth disease cases shows that stepped-up hygiene standards and checks on the young charges are not enough to arrest the crisis.

One way that can help tackle the problem is to be mindful of children's water intake. I am not advocating just drinking lots of water. Water intake should be more specific, in proportion to the child's body weight. The key is to drink it in sufficient quantity and regularity.

The rule of thumb is : Drink at least one ounce of water for every two pounds of the child's body weight. The metric equivalent is : 31.42ml of water for every 1 kg of the child's weight. In addition, mix 6/100 (0.06) teaspoon of sea salt (do not use table salt ) into every 314.2 ml of water.

For thousands of years, doctors have successfully treated their patients with nothing more than plain water and natural salt. Water and natural salt, when combined together, give you everything your body and mind need.

To: "salma khalik"

Dear Salma, I was sad to read about the girl suffering in newspaper this morning. I hope and appeal to the doctors and media to educate the general public to correct body re hydration to prevent further complications of human body degeneration caused by primary (first) etiology of cellular dehydration.
The present "solid paradigm" and status quo protocol can never solve the present HFMD syndrome. Merely quoting 'virus name' supposedly is not scientific mean to educate the people. We must use "solvent paradigm" instead.
Use and promote "water cure" protocol , ie: increase water and sea-salt intake will reverse many signs and symptoms of body.
Formula : Every kilogram of body weight needs at least 31.42 ml of plain water,daily.
1. Present body weight = 50 kilogram.
2. Water quota daily : 50 x 31.42 = 1671 ml.
3. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt for every 1250 ml of water drank.
4. Timing of water intake is 90 minutes interval. Portion size, use 1671 divide by 10 equals 167 ml per glass. This size is relative to every individual body weight.
5.Drink 1 glass of water upon arising every morning and follow by another glass every 90 minutes thereafter.

Salma, kindly, share this formula with the child's grand aunt. She herself is undergoing stressful and may be experiencing dehydration unknowingly. Dehydration at cellular cannot be tested by blood test.
Thanks.

Hello Nur Dianah Suhaimi, again with much concern and pity I read your report on the HFMD in Singapore. Earlier on I have written to Salma, and you can read my letter to her, see below.
Prevent the onset of HFMD, use water-cure protocol. Unintentional-prolonged-dehydration (free water deficits in body) can cause human body immunity lower and enter into a vicious cycle of distress manifesting signs and symptoms. Why children under five years old in particular are most susceptible to HFMD? Check and monitor their daily water intake. Use the measurement offered below. I am sharing this scientific breakthrough as alternative idea to the present status quo.
I felt for the parents and the children affected. Will you forward this simple formula to them on my behalf, because I do not have their e-mail or contact numbers. To Mr.Frankie Loh, Housewife Norjannah Mohammed Kamal and husband, Madam Jessica Tan and her husband, Mr.Zain Ismail, Ms Cathy Chem, Principal Daphe Lee. I encourage you to go to the websites below and my blog for details.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Soong,
Thank you for your e-mail.
While many people believe in the benefits of water, there is no scientific evidence to show that it does the things you claim.
In fact, there is proof that too much water can actually kill.
As a newspaper, no matter what our personal beliefs, we have to go with what the experts say.
As such, I'm afraid we can't publish the information you have sent.

To: "Salma Khalik"

Dear Salma Khalik,
Firstly, I thank you for your reply here.

Secondly, I apologise if I have seem to give the impression to anyone that this water cure protocol is without scientific evidence. But the evidences are plentiful from the many positive results from responders who were on drugs therapies then and later adopt this proven water cure protocol. I am not selling any products to the public, but just to highlight to them the underlying cause of their body suffering and signs/ symptoms manifestations. That scientific cause is persistence-unintentional-dehydration.

Thirdly, the formula of water drank per day, which I have shared with you and public is logical and scientific calculation for every individual in respect to individual present body weight. I did not use a general statement like "drink a lot of water", but rather, I am specific to the point of sharing the timing and amount to drink, just like any doctor prescribe the drugs dosage and timing, case to case basis.

Fourthly, how wrong could we go with the experts say? You know how your body feel and respond better than all the experts in the world. Each must seriously consider what is being said by the experts and weight seriously the actuality of what have been proposed or defended.

Fifth, I just hope and appeal again that you or any serious reporter would just filter through seriously the matter at hand. i remain confident that this simple water cure protocol can and will help many of our fellow citizens in our country. I respect the final decision you and the editor take in regard to publish or not to, after all we could not help but to share the truth with anyone who want to know the truth. Kindly review those well documented evidences found at www.watercure.com or www.watercure2.com or http://theinnozablog.blogspot.com

Thanks again for your time and reply.

Sincerely yours,

To:"salma khalik, leepq@sph.com.sg, tracyq@sph.com.sg

To Salma Khalik, Tracy Quek, Lee Pei Qi and others to whom it may concern.

This is my third e-mail to The Straits times in respond to the HFMD outbreak in Singapore since 17 April, 2008. I still remember Sharmaine Lee, 7 years old girl, hardest-hit victim, suffered brain damage.

The rising reported cases emphatically shows stepped up hygiene standards and checks on the young charges are not enough steps to arrest the crisis, hence will not solve this present outbreak problems.
Not giving up easily, I appeal again to the press, to make known or forward the "water cure protocol" to all doctors, public health administrators, public and childcare centers for serious consideration and scrutiny and immediate application to stamp the HFMD outbreak. Only the positive result after the application will prove the validity of this "solvent paradigm"/water-cure protocol to combat dehydration related symptoms such as HFMD. I am not advocating 'drink lots of water' general statement here. But I am specific, to remind and monitor the children's daily hydration or water intake, in respect to each child's body weight. Sufficient quantity and regularity is the key here.
To all parents, pre-scholars, care-givers and young students, I say do not fear, just remember to drink sufficient water everyday. I repeat below the measurement to use for each case, for your perusal.

The rule of thumb is : Drink at least 1 ounce of water for every 2 pounds of the child's body weight. Metric equivalent is use 31.42 ml of water for every 1 kilogram of the child's body weight. And for every 314.2 ml of water drank, mix 6/100 (0.06)teaspoon of sea salt into it.

Formula:
1.The child's body weight, say, 10 kg.
2.Water intake per day, 10 x 31.42 = 314.2 ml. Round up to 315 ml.
3.Mix 6/100 (or 0.06) teaspoon of sea salt (do not use table salt) into every 315 ml water drank. Note: Table salt has nothing in common with natural salt, biophysics proven.
4.Each portion to drink is 315 ml divided into 10 equal parts, that is 31.5 ml.
5.Drink one portion 31.5 ml upon arising every morning and follow up with one portion every 90 minutes interval. Regularity is the key.


For thousands of years, doctors have successfully treated their patients with nothing more than plain water and natural salt. Bio physically, water and natural salt, when combined together, give you everything your body and mind need.
Recall the incident when Sharmaine Lee was prone to screaming fits and angry fits. My question, did anyone check her water and salinity deficiency?
Industrialization may have supplanted this ancient important knowledge, but it's time again to revive this know- how and rediscover natural salt and water as vital healing source.

Let "drink your regular sufficient water" be the buzz-word now, beside the catch phase "wash your hands" only. Note: Not over drink or under drink, but drink sufficient, daily.

At the end of the day, prevention is better than all treatments or attempts to cure. If nothing else, prevention is cheaper,natural and less painful. We must fight to maintain and continue building on previous achievements, and avoid backsliding. The war on diseases are not the sole domain of scientists and clinicians, but laymen themselves have significant roles to play. It is an uphill task to change mindset and habits, and to encourage paradigm shift based on solid scientific evidence from research.

For me as a researcher, I do research about water metabolism and public health issues because I want to understand fundamental mechanisms, not to gather fortune. But good work can never be done in isolation. There is a need for cross fertilization of ideas and exchange views. Hence, I sincerely encourage all , to whom it may concern , to review my modest appeal.
Well, human beings can't agree on all findings. In any social cause community, especially in public health issues, there are people who strive for purity. Some strive for pragmatic and compromise on purity. Common sense cannot be gotten from text books. We were born with the capacity of cultivating common sense and using common sense, to learn and sense the common. Children need to learn new things everyday and drinking sufficient plain water daily is one of the important things they must be taught and be constantly reminded. The crystalline sole (so-lay), salt-water brine, is unquestionably the energy matrix in which life begins, develops and subsists.

Yours Sincerely,
Soong See Choo.

Polycythemia; Hypertension (How Water Cure)

Several months ago I finished reading your fascinating book "Your Body's many Cries for Water." I truly have to say that I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. Several of my friends and family members have also read it. My brother who has some medical background, has also read it, and he found it very interesting.

I have a medical condition called Polycythemia Vera. My body produces too many red blood cells. i am on medication called hydroxyurea. Also from time to time they have to do a phlebotomy on me. I was diagnosed with this illness about nine years ago when I was 33 years old, but my doctor said that probably I had the illness several years before that. It is a rare illness usually occuring in much older people. People of my age usually do not have this illness. Nobody knows what causes this illness. I was told perhaps stress has something to do with it. Also, I used to be a security guard for several years and I worked in factories and industrial sites and perhaps I was exposed to some chemicals or toxic materials. Over the years my condition seemed to get slightly worse. i was put on hydroxyurea. The use of hydroxyrea over an extended period of time can lead in some cases of leukemia and other illnesses.

About eight months ago I read your book and I started drinking more water. I drink about 80 ounces a day. Over the years I have also suffered from hypertension and I was under a lot of pressure from my doctor to go on high blood pressure medication. At first, my blood pressure was borderline but it seemed to be getting worse. I resisted as long as I could about taking the high blood pressure medication, but I don't think that I could have resisted much longer. I started drinking 80 ounces of water a day eight months ago. Now my blood pressure is totally normal. As a matter of fact, during my last checkup one of the nurses joked that I have the blood pressure of a teenager.

As far as my Polycythemia Vera is concerned there has also been an improvement. As I mentioned above my condition seemed to be getting slightly worse. I started drinking more water eight months ago. Now my condition seems to be improving. Every three month or so I go for a check up and each time they take a sample of my blood for laboratory tests. Among the things they test for, my brother told me, is something called RDW. As best as I can explain what my brother has told me, RDW shows how healthy my cells are, whether they mutated or not. If they mutate enough, this can lead to leukemia and other medical conditions. This RDW measurement had also been getting slightly worse. The RDW number is now totally normal.

Soon I ask my doctor whether gradually I can be taken off the medication and rely more on phlebotomy. Both my doctor and my brother have talked about me doing this.

I have describes as best as I could both of my medical conditions and how by drinking more water they have both improve significantly. It is a shame that the medical establishment does not take the drinking of larger amounts of water mores seriously. I only wish I would have known about all of this many years ago. I do know that I will tell my friends and relatives about this. I wish i could do much more in helping you promote your theories.


With my best wishes, I remain
Sincerely, Ivan

Water in our Body

Seventy percent of our body (adult) is water. SEVENTY (70%) PERCENT!
The following list gives the percentage of water in various body parts:

Teeth 10%, Lungs 80% ,
Bones 13%, Brain 80.5% ,
Cartilage 55%, Bile 86% ,
Red blood corpuscles 68.7% , Plasma 90% ,
Liver 71%, Blood 90% ,
Muscle tissues 75%, Lymph 94% ,
Spleen 75.5% , Saliva 95.5%, Gastric juice 95.5%.

When we reflect on how extensively water is involved in the functioning of the human body, we cannot help but be held in awe. Consider some of the more important functions of water metabolism in the human body. Medical students seldom learn or remember what was taught anywhere, and tend to approach body treatment by drugs approach. Sad but true, water cure : drugs kill many unsuspecting patients today.

1. Water supports all of the nutritive processes, from digestion and absorption to utilization and excretion. From the moment food enters your mouth, every process necessary to transform it from a food to blood, bone, muscle, and tissue -- no small feat -- depends on availability of water. Some people say they have never see a miracle. What then is the process that turns a fresh apple into blood and bone? You see how we take things for granted ?
A deficiency of water anywhere along the chain of process that create these miracles of life in us soon manifest itself in disturbances of these natural operations.

2.Water holds nutrients in solution and transports all food necessary for life to the various parts of the human body. have you ever wondered how, after eating, the nutrients in the food wind up at just the right place to supply each organ, indeed each cell, with what it needs to carry on its duties? We all know that our food contains vitamins, minerals, protein (amino acids), carbohydrates, fats, and the other basic nutrients of life. But how are they being extracted and distributed ? You guessed it -- by water ! The human body employs water to extract them, carry them all to the proper place, and drop them off in the exact amounts needed at exactly the right time. Awesome ! Perfection unsurpassed. Society should reflect the same synergy and exactness. There would be a lot less stress/distress and strife. I'd wager.

3. Water holds wastes and toxins that it picks up from the cells (trillion on them) and carries them to the organs of elimination. The process by which toxins are produced in the human body as the by-products of food decomposition and as cellular wastes will also increased when not sufficient water is made available on daily basis. We must emphasise the importance of getting rid of them as soon as possible. Carbon dioxide overload, nitrogen from protein metabolism, urea, and ammonia are but a few of the toxic substances that must be collected, diluted, and expelled from the human body, daily. Water carries them to the four organs of elimination -- bowels, bladder, lungs and skin -- for disposal, daily. What an exquisite arrangement. At one and the same time, water brings in what we need and carries out what we don't. Multitasking of water is the nature characteristic of life.

4. Water is essential constituent of all cells and tissues and of all body fluids. Without sufficient water you/your body would have no saliva. You wouldn't be able to swallow ! Your tongue would stick to the inside of your mouth. You wouldn't be able to talk. Since gastric juices are practically all water (95.5%), without water the food in your stomach couldn't digest. Your vital lifeline, the blood, is over 90 percent water. The organs that perform the functions of life are all more water than anything else.

5.Water keeps the various mucous membranes of the human body soft and prevents friction between tissue surfaces. Your are not sick, you are drying up when your joints pain, have you think of water deficiency. Without some kind of lubricant in your body, organs would stick together and tear. Bones would grate on each other and chip rather than glide smoothly at the joints. Muscles would lose their suppleness and not function adequately. All your inner organs swim in an ocean of fluids that is mostly water, literally.

6.Water is chief agent in regulating body temperature, serving much as does water in the radiator of a car. One of the major reasons water balance in the human body is so CRUCIAL to our HEALTH is this relationship to temperature control and regulation. An internal temperature change of only a few degrees can mean death. The human body is constantly giving off water from the kidneys (water-deficits can cause kidneys failure), bowels (lack of water in diet cause constipation), lungs ( prolonged dehydration cause asthma) and skin ( water deficiency cause skin wrinkle and roughness). Perspiration cools the skin when it evaporates. All this helps maintain body temperature, 37.5 Celsius. Prolonged indoor air-conditioning causes the body to lose more water via respiration and body temperature sustenance.

Your body normally expels about one gallon of water (for adult) every day, and that, of course by common sense, must be replenished each day as well. Given water's invaluable role, consideration MUST be given to obtaining the best water available.
There are three issues to consider in that connection.
1.When should we drink water?
2.How much should we drink? (Under normal condition)
3.And what is the best kind of water to drink?

Answers for: 1. Every 90 minutes for correct hydration. For the water diffusion rate is 0.001 cm per second. Upon rising from bed and upon just going to bed.
2. Drink 1/10 (or 10%) of your own daily quota every 90 minutes. Your own total amount (minimum under normal condition) is 31.42 ml multiply by your own body weight in kilogram. Say, 50 kg is your weight, then 31.42 (x) 50 = (your total water required per day).
3. Best kind to drink is distilled water.

IF YOU ARE THIRSTY, DRINK WATER. Your body is simply too darned smart not to let you know when it needs water.

Love Live In The Present

There is one more aspect that stands in the way of loving relationships : the "Past-Present-Future Syndrome." (PPFS)
Unfortunately, most of us carry around a lot of attitudinal baggage as a result of our past experiences. We have either been burned in a relationship --- rejected or mistreated in one way or another --- or we have done that to someone else. Either you are a victim or victimizer. We move on , but we hold on to all the negative feelings resulting from unsuccessful interactions and we load/overload ourselves down with them and carry them wherever we go, including whenever we have a fresh opportunity to relate. We are like people who decide to go shopping but carry with them all the past purchases they have ever made. That doesn't allow much of a free hand to assess new merchandise, let alone carry it home.

Here is what is important to know about the past : IT IS OVER !
The past cannot touch you. You can let go of it. You can forgive yourself for whatever you have done, you can forgive others for whatever they have done, and you can start fresh every day. yes every day is fresh. Doesn't that make sense ?
Doing anything else is so encumbering ! If you carry all your past hurts with you, they inevitably colour your present, and you perpetuate them right into the future. If you carry them with you, they never go away. learn from them and let go of the past.

If you see no prospects for a bright future , it is usually because you are holding on to your past. When you base your projections on a past that has not been good, you are holding on to that, fearing that it will recur in the future -- and of course it will, because you are carrying it along with you .
THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE A GOOD FUTURE IS TO MAXIMIZE THE PRESENT. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT. MAKE THE PRESENT GOOD!

If you are always nurturing the present, making your present as positive and pleasant as possible, the future will be pleasant and positive because THE FUTURE IS ONLY REAL WHEN IT BECOMES THE PRESENT .

lighten your load. Try to let go of your emotional baggage/luggage. There is no time to waste in the present. It is all we have, the present moment for the present living in Healthy Wealth! remember, love is in the air! It's another of those elements that is totally yours for the taking. Love is unlimited. Open yourself up to it. Go for it.
You don't have to feel that it is not meant for you to experience.

Smile, breath, communicate from your heart. See the other person as someone with whom you can share a pleasant interaction. It is such a relief when you do . Love is one of the easiest elements to incorporate into your life ! Everyday! We know you can do it from this moment on. Just start today ! and remember, WE LOVE YOU ! Live in the present.

Bob Butts offering $100,000!

How far will a layperson go to prove his conviction?

We know talk is cheap when no economic value is stake to what we talk about, especially public health issues. But read this OFFER from Bob Butts (in U.S.A).
Real freedom in action or just another insane layperson in auction? Read on and you decide.

Read from http://www.watercure2.org/reward.htm

"$100,000 IF I CAN'T PROVE THAT THE FREE WATER CURE IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING ORTHODOX MEDICINE HAS TO OFFER!

This offer is only valid if the Northeastern Pa. news media will get involved after interviewing people who got well after using water cure when orthodox medicine said there was no help. If the people who got well convince the media that the water cure is true, and I'd stake my life on its truth, then I want them to promote stories in the news continuously across the area in which they serve.

If these people fail to convince the media, I will give a check for the $100,000 to the salvation Army or they may offer me a choice of some other worthy agencies so long as that agency has no high paid help or bureaucracy. Under no circumstances will I give one cent to any agency that solicits money to fund the phony medical research that has been either deliberately or stupidly designed to make sure no high profit health problem is solved.

The testimonies by the people cured of so-called incurable diseases and my own experiences will prove beyond doubt that the only thing that has ever prevented the solution to any high profit health problems is the money made on them.

My friend and water cure expert, Jim Bolen and I would be more than happy to debate the top medical researchers in the country on live TV to prove that the water cure is infinitely superior to anything orthodox medicine has to offer. It is time that people know the truth that medical science is designed to fail. It is a business like all business and no business will endorse anything that will put itself out of business."

Discovering Yourself Your Good Health

There is a whole world for you to explore and discover outside your body.

Yet, discovering yourself and your good health may explore your own world even more whole.

Why my blog is "Healthy Wealth?" Explore onward ...(read on)....

Why use or get involved in Chinese Medicine? It is a reasonable question, because for many of us Chinese Medicine is culturally specific;Chinese medicine for Chinese race only, Western Medicine for the Westerners race only, Malay Medicine for Malay race only, Indian Medicine for Indian race only, and so on. Strange thought but it is a common perception we held until we study to understand the universal application of medicine for mankind. Medicine is never racist, but some practitioners are racist in attitude.

The concepts logical, commonsensical, and understandable -- much more so than modern science, in fact.
I have found this is also true for patients. Chinese Medicine provides a comprehensible framework which explains the pattern of symptoms ---often seemingly random--- from which people can suffer. This can be very empowering for the patient, who may be able to understand the real nature or condition of their illness for the first time in their life.

There is a fine line between the physicians'/doctors'/specialists' legitimate need to control access to potential harmful procedures and substances and the maintenance of a secrecy which is designed to shroud the profession in mystery. Or perhaps in self-mythology? I discovered that the doctors cannot cure , it is our human body that cure it's own with one cardinal condition that we just do not hinder it's nature law of self-healing operation. This is reflected by the fact that there has always been a hierarchy of treatment in China, from the "barefoot doctors" to the Emperor court physician, titled:"Imperial Physician." Western concepts have their counterparts, the GPS ,general practitioners going up the hierarchy 'ladder'(proverbial) to the Chief Surgeon. Man with all his pomp but without insight is like the animals that perish.
In Singapore, patients class-wards decide the expertise services you will receive.

Self-treatment comes in many forms. Having to resort to medicine was traditional regarded as something of a failure for the Chinese physician, health was maintained through the careful self-cultivation of good habits, and by balancing all aspects of one's lifestyle, diet, exercise and other factors. The Chinese physician's function is an educator to impart his deep insight to the people. The ancient Chinese physician's allowance/salary was suspended when those under his care fell sick, and his pay only resume when the patients recover. Unlike present medical service transactions and ethics erosion among the medical community we experience now.

Diets, exercise, and other lifestyle factors are areas where every body can exert an influence on their existing and future health, the objectives are often easy to achieve and maintain, and the methods are inexpensive -- or even free. Like free air.

Concepts and ideas take time to understand. Simply reading all the information is unlikely to lead to a full or meaningful understanding of the concepts, at first. It is my experience that a proper perspective and right appreciation can only be reached after a certain amount of time has elapsed in study and practice of the ideas. Re-vision is the keyword here. Take your time and enjoy yourself --- read the sections as often as you like, and return to them as necessary. Your own time is the most valuable "commodity"; investing it wisely, you will have more of it through longevity.
People worldwide have always striven for good health and longevity, and here is just my modest effort to explain the environmental, both external and internal, causes of diseases and how to avoid them, and healthy diet and information to expand your overview and nano-view understanding of medicine, discovering yourself and your good(or gold) health is your initial capital for all future investments and wealth.

Real health is a sense of joy and fulfillment, an appreciation of living ; achieving real health is entirely our own responsibility. We are bestowed with the ability to respond to good things.
The many different facets of our lives contribute to our overall health. Real Health Medicine looks at the big picture, showing us that health problems cannot viewed in isolation.
Good health is so much more than merely the absence of disease. There are many people who rarely, if ever, consult a doctor, but it does not automatically follow that they are healthy, in the truest sense of the word, Real Health.

Heal-Thy-Wealth, healthy wealth, revealing a completely different approach to health from that of conventional Western medicine, or Chinese medicine, or Malay medicine, or Indian medicine, or cultural medicine, or Ayurveda medicine, or Tibetan medicine, or Jews medicine, or allopathic, or orthodox, unorthodox medicine, etc.

Basic concept #1 : Live closer to nature and the changing season.

Basic concept #2 : Natural energies flow have a great influence on well-being.

For illustration: Water causes new plant to grow in the spring to create Wood, which in turn is destroyed in the Fire of summer to return to ashes and Earth, which, is the source of ores yielding Metal, which, being cold, causes condensation to appear as Water. As long as you understand your own energy flow and grow more in harmony with your natural surroundings, your real health is a real reality.

Chinese Medicine's holistic approach goes far beyond the physiology of Western medicine. "The enlightened person eats when hungry and sleeps when tired." This means living in harmony with the energy of the seasons and with the particular requirements of your mind and body, which empowers you to influence your own health destiny. But many are doing the opposite of eating when tired and sleeping when hungry.

Keep Kidneys and Bladder.

How are your kidneys and bladder today?
"I had mine donated to my sibling" or "I had mine replaced" or "They broke down and I have to go for dialysis , so troublesome to my family and ........"
Sad news indeed.

To maintain well-functioning kidneys it is essential to drink liberal quantities of water, monitoring the amount sufficiency by using your body weight as the reference to calculate the portion.
The human kidneys are among our most important detoxification organs beside our lungs, liver and skin. Our kidneys filter our blood while extracting pollutants. The urine flows from the kidney through the ureter into the bladder and is passed on through the urethra.

Women tend to suffer from urinary tract infections more often than men because the female urinary tract is only 0.9 inch long, a shorter journey for bacteria to travel. But men are 7 times more likely to have kidney stones than woman. Truth worth repeating : To maintain well functioning kidneys it is essential to drink liberal quantities of good water : at least 1 ounce of good water for every 2 pounds of your body weight. Metric equivalent is 31.42 ml of good water for every 1 kilogram of your body weight. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt for every 1250 ml water drank.
Water quantity and quality and regularity,every 90 minutes, is sufficiency in simplicity.

Most people not only drink insufficient quantities of good water, but also, the wrong kind of water. Beverages, sodas, colas, soup, alcohol, pasteurized can drinks are not he same as plain good water, though chemically similar, bio physically different. The colour can tell you about the quality. This leads to the accumulation of residues and toxins that cannot be properly disposed of, damaging the kidneys.

Support the proper functioning of your kidneys by drinking sufficient living water, low in minerals and non-carbonated. You may like to check out natural artesian water, FIJI Water, www.fijiwater.com This is even more important if you are already suffering from kidney or bladder problems.

The sole(so-lay) drinking therapy even breakdown and dissolves kidney stones and gall bladder stones. Passing the stones can sometimes be very painful. However, the endeavour will be worthwhile, as the human body will have healed itself on it own. Just provide the basic materials, water and crystal salt. Atoms intelligence at work when sufficient water is present. Search internet for : "original Himalayan crystal salt".
It cannot be repeated often regularly enough: Drink sufficient of plain good water to flush out toxins and to regenerate your body system. Daily rehydration is the only prevention to kidneys failure and dialysis. Once ounce of (water) prevention is better than one pound of (drugs) 'cure'. Bear in mind, even our brain need water as energy source. Again, water cure :drug kills. Think water heal-thy wealth daily. "thy" is old English word for "your".
