As a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, the author, a medical doctor, believes that he has found chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches, hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and diabetes in the elderly.

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the body possesses many different thirst signals. A dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of your body's water needs. He describes a variety of more reliable ones, and helps you learn to understand when your body is calling for water. In this way, he claims you can prevent, treat, and cure a variety of conditions of ill health, at no cost, with what he calls nature's miracle medicine: Water. The author explains how much water one needs to drink a day to stay healthy, and why tea, coffee, and sodas are not good substitutes for water.

The Washington Times
When Dr. Batmanghelidj thinks of a glass of water, he doesn't think of it as half full or half empty. He thinks of it as brimming over with the essential fluid of life. He thinks of it as the solvent of our ills and the deliverer of ripe old age. He thinks of it as the wave of the future.

Fit For Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond

"It is not only what you eat that makes the difference, but also of extreme importance is when you eat it and in what combinations," say Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of this classic bestseller. Their program results in eating balanced, nutritious, high-fiber foods, making dieting "unnecessary and as obsolete as sealing wax."

The Diamonds explain that body functions have a daily cycle: noon to 8 p.m.-- appropriation (eating and digestion); 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.--assimilation (absorption and use); 4 a.m. to noon--elimination (of body wastes and food debris). Fit for Life aims to return you to a lifestyle based on your natural body cycles. That means 70 percent of your diet should be "high-water-content foods"--fruits and vegetables--which facilitate all body functions. Consume nothing but fruit or fruit juice until noon, then eat salad and vegetables with every meal for the rest of the day.

Two-thirds of the book is explanation and discussion; one-third is menu plans and recipes. You won't be hungry, your food choices will be healthy, and you'll lose weight without dieting. --Joan Price

"My husband and I have followed your 30-day plan for 25 days and I have never felt better. He has lost 22 pounds and I have Lost 9. But aside from the weight loss, the way we look and feel has changed our attitudes and outlooks on life. We both feel happier and more energetic than we have since we were children. I can honestly say you have changed our lives.

Doctor B's Personal Letter

Since I wrote my book Your Body’s Many Cries for Water in 1992, and made the videotapes and audiotapes that you may have already seen, I have continued researching the medicinal effects of simple water in the prevention and treatment of various degenerative diseases. I have now expanded on the past information on water, salt, diet and exercise, and have published the highlights of my findings in a new book, ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus: Eradicate Asthma – Now!

This 240-page paperback focuses on the direct relationship between asthma, allergies and autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, and a lack of water in the body. It explains how to prevent and cure childhood asthma without medication, and how to recognize the signs of an imminent asthma attack. It contains vital information such as:

ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus was written in response to hundreds of requests I received asking for more information on asthma, a dreaded disease that strikes 17 million Americans – 14 million of them children – and kills several thousand sufferers each year. The book also shares with my readers some of the many heart-warming letters I receive each month – including from medical doctors – describing cures of asthma, allergies and many other diseases through nothing more than increased water and salt intake.

The section on lupus came into being because of repeated questions from lupus sufferers wanting to know if the "water cure" could help them. The information on lupus will open your eyes to the way diseases of the body are invented and labelled – vital knowledge you must have to safeguard yourself against arrogant medical ignorance.

Despite numerous attempts over the past eight years to get mainstream medicine to engage in the research of "chronic unintentional dehydration" as the primary cause of painful degenerative disease in the human body – particularly asthma – I have met a wall of resistance. As you will read, my appeals to the National Institutes of Health, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the Attorney General, and her deputy, the "fast-buck-happy" mainstream media that present the chemical industry’s self-serving and fabricated views on health issues, and even the President of the United States, who deftly passed the buck, have gone unheeded. It seems as if none of these institutions or people is concerned with the plight of the asthma-suffering children of America. My hope now is that you, my readers, will join together to help reintroduce honor, integrity and empathy into mainstream medicine.

I appeal to you to join me in the crusade to eradicate asthma as a child-afflicting and -killing piece of medical ignorance. Unless you have an asthma-suffering child, you cannot appreciate the anguish of those who fear the suddenness of an attack and the suffocation and possible death that will ensue. Let us put an end to this unnecessary human suffering. We can do it together by using the book ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus as the means of educating those who suffer from asthma, and naturally, those involved in its treatment. I invite you to take the information, spread it to as many people as you can, and encourage others to tell as many people as possible about this simple, natural cure for asthma. When we eradicate asthma from the list of human disease, the rest of the dehydration-produced health problems will also naturally disappear.

My request is that you invest $60.00 and buy five books – one for yourself because the information in the book will upgrade your knowledge – and either sell or, if you can afford it, give the other four to the parents of asthma-afflicted children you know. Ask the parents to test the information to cure their children from the scourge of medical ignorance labeled as asthma. My next request is that you monitor the progress of your "charge" until full recovery from asthma has been achieved. When you realize how easily you can save these young people, you should then invite the parents of these children to accept an honor-bound responsibility to carry out exactly the same procedure with five other asthmatics. In this way, you will have initiated the "citizen’s movement" to eradicate asthma from the list of human diseases. I think we can do it within five years. If you read my book, you will see that this program might be the only self-energizing method for succeeding in our crusade. Naturally, the sale of books will generate some income that will be used, as before, for further promotion of the discovery that, in most health problems, "You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty."

You can order ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus:... now. I look forward to your joining me in this crusade to eradicate asthma, and to transform our "sick-care" system into people-friendly, health-care medicine, freed from the "fast-buck" attitude that presently prevails at the cost of innocent people’s lives and health.

Reverse Aging by Sang Y. Whang
Not science fiction, but a scientific fact! This book is the first common sense scientific explanation of the aging process and "how to" reverse it. The nutrients that we deliver to our cells burn with oxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy to our body. The body tries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes through urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, our lifestyle, diet and environment prevent our body to get rid of all the wastes that it generates. Gradually, these leftover acidic wastes accumulate somewhere within our body. Since acid coagulates blood, the blood circulation near the waste areas becomes poor, causing all kinds of degenerative diseases to develop. The author defines the aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within the body. According to this theory, the reduction of accumulated wastes is re verse aging. This book explains how some of the adult degenerative diseases are caused by too much acidic wastes, and describes the various scientific devices and methods to reduce these wastes without any harmful side effects. These devices and methods are being widely used in Japan. Alkaline water makers (water ionizers) have been in existence in Japan for more than 40 years. Many in the alternative health industry of water ionizers, magnet and far-infrared devices regard this book as the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference book of its kind in the English language. It is a "must read" for all who are health-conscious.

Alkalize or Die by Theodore A. Baroody
Alkalize or Die. This powerful title carries an important message that can benefit everyone - a message destined to revolutionize health care of the future with one simple principle - ALKALIZE YOURSELF!

Dr. Baroody's comprehensive research and clinical findings indicate that illness and disease are directly linked to over-acidity in the system. The polluted air we breathe, the nutrient poor food and water we ingest are just part of the problem. Stress on all levels - physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual cause the body to overproduce acid wastes, upsetting our delicate alkaline/acid balance.

By following the guidelines in this book you can evaluate your alkaline/acid situation, determine a course of correction, and achieve a high level of vitality and strength.

Discover:
- Clear definitions of alkaline and acid.
- What causes tissue acid wastes.
- Why hydrochloric acid is good for you and other acids are not.
- The alkaline needs of glands and organs.
- The truth about contagious diseases.
- How to prevent acid-related maladies that accelerate aging.

Learn how to:
- Choose foods that create alkalinity.
- Prepare alkaline-forming meals using the 21 day meal planner.
- Take nutritional supplements for proper alkaline/acid balance.
- Use the new “super foods” for building alkalinity.
- Neutralize any type of stress.

The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet:
An Innovative Program for Ridding Your Body of Acidic Wastes by Felicia Drury Kliment
Balancing the body's acid alkaline pH factor to improve health is the hot new treatment in alternative medicine. The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet clarifies for you this cutting-edge option with an easy-to-follow food combination program and herbal therapy regime that redefines the notion of a "well-balanced diet." By balancing the body's acidity levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions, including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease. With information organized by affliction, you can quickly find the help you need. Anecdotal success stories offer inspiring evidence that this dietary/lifestyle change really works.
Modern agriculture and food-preservation methods have done serious damage to the human diet. The detrimental effects on the human body caused by acidic wastes from processed food and chemical additives are myriad. By-products of the foods we eat, acidic wastes are the common denominator in all degenerative diseases. When acidic wastes accumulate, they can cause organs to malfunction and degenerate. Balancing the body's acid-alkaline pH factor is a dynamic way to improve health. The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet explores this exciting new treatment in alternative medicine.

Based on Eastern medicinal practices, The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet advocates a sensible food-combination program in conjunction with herbal medicine therapies to balance the positively charged acidic particles in the body with the negatively charged particles. This simple plan can aid in curing a wide range of medical problems including arthritis, insomnia, alcoholism, lung disorders, kidney disease, and much more. Organized by medical condition, this book makes it easy to quickly find the help and advice you need. There's also a practical test you can administer to help determine your metabolic type: grain eating, meat eating, or balanced.

Forget the traditional notions of a well-balanced diet; for many, this well-balanced diet is the cause of various illnesses. Here at last are alternatives for those who have used the "four food groups" strategy of nutrition but still ended up with health problems. Discover how The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet will help you lead a healthier, longer life.

Forget calories, fat grams, and cholesterol. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels. The single most important health measurement is the pH level in your blood. Now, THE pH MIRACLE unlocks the surprisingly crucial role pH balance plays in weight loss. How acidic or alkaline your blood is (pH levels) directly affects your health and is controlled by diet. For example, if the blood becomes overly acidic from eating too much of the wrong kinds of food-wheat, bananas, meats, and cheese-it can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more. The Youngs' program includes over 50 recipes and explains which foods to eat, which to avoid, and which supplements can help on the way towards optimal health and weight loss. In just weeks, readers will find they have more energy and a stronger immune system, and will have shed pounds and inches.

Robert Young, Ph.D., is a renowned microbiologist and nutritionist. He is head of the InnerLight Biological Research Center, and has gained national recognition for his research on diabetes, cancer, and AIDS.

This book speaks specifically to candida issues and discusses/educates about gut terrain (or ecology). This is an incredible book that really gives you a good view of the whole picture, taking into consideration Acid/Alkaline, Cleansing, Food Combining, Rebuilding the Immune System, Caring for the Colon and Healing the Liver as well as other principles. This comprehensive book talks about many of the diets that are out there and the positive and negative effects on candida. It explains which foods to eat and avoid, an why. It provides recipes. No surprise, it will recommend that as with all candida related diets, you have to give up all sugars, grains and fruits (for the first phase at least).

For those of us who have suffered autoimmune disorders along with the accompanying chronic candida/parasites that go along with it - this book is a treasure. After my own personal journey of 10+ years with CFS/FM, Lupus and MPS I can say that for me, this book was the final 'piece' to my health puzzle. I had been dealing with Chronic Candida problems for years - I had colon cleansed, liver cleansed, gotten off all prescription drugs but still "hit a wall" in my health, and was not able to completely get well.

In working with many people on candida support groups over the years, and in my own health I have discovered that most grains are detrimental to digestive problems and indeed can stop complete recovery. Most people suffering from auto-immune and Chronic Candida disorders are suffering from malabsorption - and have Leaky Gut syndrome. Eating Grains, dairy and most fruits - which are recommended by many book authors can make one sicker, and go into deeper distress. Donna is *right on the money here*, she knows and understands these complications and tells the reader "straight" - right from the beginning.

I have *never* found the Anti-Candida Diet popular amongst those seeking to reclaim their health. This book is no different - and the negative reviews are possibly because people are looking for a 'quick fix', or a magic pill to get well. Chronic health problems do not happen overnight - and one will not get better overnight either.

Donna covers some of the most important aspects to complete health recovery - an example is "Food Combining" rules. This is vitally important to recovery and as she says: "eating foods that are not compatible in the stomach causes fermentation. This fermentation produces alcohol and sugars and yeast feed off these sugars and multiply rapidly, creating more toxins in the body." and also - "People with candidiasis have weak digestive tracts. Improper food-combining further weakens the digestive tract by causing it to work inefficiently until it slowly breaks down."

Colon cleansing and liver cleansing are also important aspects of this book and this is also sound truth for recovery. Though Donna does promote her own supplements/products - if one is truly interested in living the lifestyle recommended in the book - kefir, cultured vegetables, coconut(s) (their oil and meat) can ALL be found elsewhere - very inexpensively. We make our own cultured vegies, kefir and kombucha for pennies a day, without the promoted 'starters' in the book. Too many people are sick because they don't want to get down to business and take responsibility for their own health - this book challenges the politically correct health folks out there and really gives answers for those who are SERIOUS about getting well - for good. This book has helped change my life and I highly recommend it.

Water: The Ultimate Cure:
Discover Why Water Is the Most Important Ingredient in Your Diet and Find Out Which Water Is Right for You by Steve Meyerowitz
Our human bodies are nearly seventy percent water and the salinity of our extracellular fluids is approximately that of ocean water. These three simple atoms, H2O, are so vital to our existence, that the discovery of it on another planet is an almost certain indicator of life. Despite its importance in our lives, we rarely drink enough water. Two thirds of our body weight is water. The average adult carries around 40-50 quarts of it-10-13 gallons of water! By weight, our heart, brain, and muscle are each approximately 75% water. Our blood and kidneys are each 83% water. Even our bones are 22% water! Everyday, water escapes from our lungs, our kidneys, our bowels, our underarms, and every pore of our skin. We lose approximately 2-3 quarts of water daily. We must all replenish our lost water.

What happens if we don't? Reductions of 15% below our healthy hydration level could be fatal. Alberto Salazar also collapsed after a 1979 race. Then, his body temperature had risen to 107 degrees. He was so close to death from dehydration, they prematurely administered his last rights! Even a small reduction, 2%-5% of our personal water supply, has its consequences. What's worse, these symptoms are not obviously associated with water - Headaches, dizziness, lethargy, muscle cramps, loss of appetite, depression, and brain fog. When you become dehydrated, your body and brain become sluggish, your blood thickens and your heart works harder.

Water lubricates every joint in your body and keeps soft tissues from sticking together. Water is also essential to the functioning of the digestive tract. Too little water and you've got mild constipation. Even if you are taking lots of good fiber like bran and flaxseed, you need water to keep it moving. If your intestinal transit time (the time it takes for food to enter and leave your body) slows down, then more toxins are retained. Higher levels of toxic waste products in the bowel, lymph, and bloodstream is a proven contributing factor to many of the above mentioned complaints as well as fibromyalgia, arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, and chronic fatigue.

How do we know how much water to drink? A 200 pound man should drink 100 ounces of water. Your individual water requirements will vary according to your climate, temperature, lifestyle, exercise level, age, and diet. Even mental activity, stress, and the environment are factors. Another rule is to monitor the water you excrete. If you are drinking an adequate amount, your urine color and odor will be neutral.

Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are superb hydrators, while coffee, soda, and beer are not. Caffeinated drinks, including sodas, coffees, and teas, along with alcoholic beverages have diuretic side effects. Herbal teas are excellent hydrators (as long as they are not diuretic).

Frank from Edmonton wrote: I'd like to suggest a book as a candidate for your recommended reading section: Power vs. Force, the Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD

Some quotes from the cover of the book (soft cover version):
- Wayne Dyer: "Perhaps the most important and significant book I've read in the past ten years."
- Mother Teresa: "A Beautiful gift of writing ... You spread joy, love and compassion through what you write. The fruit of these three is peace, as you know...."

David Hawkins is an enlightened being in the truest sense. I haven't finished reading it yet but it is ground-breaking information, not published anywhere else that I know of. Even if it doesn't make your recommended reading list, I think you'll want to read it if you haven't already.

The Key to Health and Rejuvenation puts the responsibility of health care back where it belongs - into the hands of every person. Treating the symptoms of an illness requires great effort on behalf of the body and has little or nothing to do with restoring health. Such an approach may at best keep the symptoms of disease at bay, which by itself can become a major risk for more serious complications to arise at a later stage. In contrast, healing occurs effortlessly and naturally once the conditions for the body to return to its most natural state - perfect balance and utmost efficiency - have been met and fulfilled. The author describes in detail what these conditions are and gives the methods how to achieve this state of balance regardless of age and previous health problems. Perfect health is a basic birthright that has been claimed by only few. The Key to Health and Rejuvenation opens the door for everyone to lead a stress-free life and enjoy continued youth and vitality, for the rest of one's life.

In this book, Andreas Moritz reveals the laws responsible for creating health, illness and aging and gives a complete account of the four most common causes of disease regardless of whether it is a simple infection, heart disease, cancer or AIDS. The basic theme running through the book is that it is difficult to treat disease but it is easy to create health, the latter being entirely the choice and responsibility of the individual. The Key to Health and Rejuvenation includes a complete self-help program, part of which is derived from the ancient medical system of Ayurveda. The presentation is packed with useful information on all major health issues and suggests effective methods of cleansing the blood, liver and gallbladder, intestines, kidneys, blood vessels, lymphatic system and cell tissues. The resulting renewal and rejuvenation of cells and tissues throughout the body opens us to a new sense of life that can be filled with harmony, peace and excitement.

Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis of Bioenergy Therapies by James L. Oschman, Ph.D.
The problem with many books on all types of energy healing are the moments when well-meaning but hopelessly uninformed authors try to explain the "why" of their practice. Why does energy healing work? What is the physiological mechanism for this phenomenon? While authors whose practice is informed by their psychic knowledge (Barbara Brennan, Rosalyn Bruyere, etc.) are certainly valuable, James Oschman is successful in this book because he is first and only a scientist. He has no agenda to defend the validity of energy healing at all costs. In fact, you get the sense that he would be just as happy DISproving the phenomenon. And his objectivity in showing that in fact there IS a scientific basis for the practice is what makes this book absolutely priceless.

Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis of BioEnergy Therapies

The marriage of homeopathy and modern medicine signals the verge of a major paradigm shift in the sciences. "Ideally", writes Dr. Gerber, "each therapeutic option offered by the different schools of thought might be used to complement and augment the effectiveness of the others, as opposed to relying on any single technique. This integrated model is one which may eventually be extended towards treating all forms of disease in a
multidisciplinary fashion".

In this landmark book, Robert O. Becker, M.D., a pioneer in the field of bioelectric science, presents a fascinating look at the role electricity plays in healing, challenging the traditional mechanistic model of the body. Colorful and controversial, this is a tale of engrossing research, scientific and medical politics, and breakthrough discoveries that offer new possibilities for fighting disease and harnessing the body's healing powers.

There is growing interest world wide in the field of mind-body medicine and the effect which the natural "energy forces" within the body play in the maintenance of normal health and wellbeing. This in turn has led to interest in how these energies or forces may be channelled to assist in healing and restoration to health. This book, written by a well known scientist with a degree in biophysics and a PhD in biology, brings together for the first time evidence from a wide range of disciplines which is beginning to provide an acceptable explanation for the energetic exchanges that take place in all therapies.

Sue Kitson from Langley, Canada: This book has been very valuable in my life. I have improved my relationships, health and day to day life reading this book. If you are consistent and read this book you will get very noticeable results. THIS BOOK WORKS! Make it available and keep this book in print for years to come.

While I am not proposing this as a 'holy grail' [for I believe there are many - whichever ones work for us!] a client recently sent me a book which I imagine has definitely been what some would call a 'holy grail' for them. The book is called "The Miracle of Metaphysical Healing" by Evelyn M. Monahan.

She is a very matter-of-fact woman who, after eight or nine years of being blind [from brain damage as a result of a car accident at 22], suffering a resulting 10 or more epileptic strokes a day, and partial paralysis - decided to put together some metaphysical things she'd 'known' since childhood to go about healing herself. She did so very specifically, and very quickly.

She then went on to teach these techniques at the university level at Georgia State to as many as 250 students a semester. [She also began using these techniques to achieve additional results, beyond healing, in terms of other goals and objectives.]

The book includes specifics for self-healing and offering healing-at-a-distance to others. With some poignant examples of how people have used it for themselves and others. It also includes info on how to use these simple techniques for other goals. I find it to be a no-hype book that simply lays out what she knows and how it has worked specifically for others.

Monahan's book reminds me that I have used a form of her approach for financial objectives years ago, just on a whim--and some desperation! And it worked. And, until now, I've forgot about doing it. The approaches for self-healing and for health maintenance are fun, and I've begun doing them myself.

Monahan presents her approach in a very systematic, easy-to-follow format. And covers specific healing applications in terms of: ulcers, cancer, bursitis, arthritis, weight loss, sinus problems, alcoholism!, stuttering, emotional stress, paralysis, asthmatic attacks, epilepsy, blindness, kidney disease, headaches, common cold, gout, menstrual cramps, heart attack issues, skin problems, 'unhappiness', financial problems, marriage problems, drug addiction...

After reading some of these applications and using the general, introductory approach, I imagine it would be fairly easy for someone to apply her approach to other issues as well.
