"Chronic dehydration of your lawn will, of course, cause your grass to die. It's basic cause and effect. When it comes to taking care of your lawn, it's also common sense. Everybody knows this. But once again, when human beings suffer chronic dehydration, and express the obvious symptoms of that, such as asthma, constipation, back pain, weakened immune systems and so on, there is a great sense of denial that lack of water or chronic dehydration has anything to do with it." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Symptoms of chronic dehydration include allergies, asthma, chronic pains, constipation, acidosis, dry skin, and the shrinking of internal organs and thinning of skin associated with aging—to name just a few. We need to consume between 64 and 96 ounces of pure water a day. Pure, fresh (not bottled ot canned) fruit and vegetable juices may be substituted for some of this quantity—as may limited quantities of nondiuretic herbal teas (without sugar). In general, however, pure water is the key." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"But there is also chronic dehydration, which is not as abrupt or intense. chronic dehydration is very widespread at present and affects everyone who does not drink enough liquids to meet his or her body's needs. The troubles chronic dehydration cause are not as pronounced as those created by the acute form. The lack of fluid is not substantial enough to cause death or serious illness, but it is still enough to generate numerous functional disorders, such as acidification of the internal cellular environment, with all the health problems that can result." - Christopher Vasey, The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health: Restore Your Health by Creating pH Balance in Your Diet (Get the book.)

"But once again, when human beings suffer chronic dehydration, and express the obvious symptoms of that, such as asthma, constipation, back pain, weakened immune systems and so on, there is a great sense of denial that lack of water or chronic dehydration has anything to do with it. So this is another case in which we see a disparity between the nutritional understanding of lawns and plants versus human beings." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Also, chronic dehydration is a more and more common problem for modern people who are rushing around between working, taking the kids to school, talking on the cell phone, and so forth, while keeping themselves going with caffeinated drinks that are diuretics and deplete the body of its water even more. chronic dehydration can promote acidity in the body, too. Certain toxins in our bodies promote acidity, chronic infections can promote acidity, and even allergic reactions to foods can promote acidity." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"But they are just expressions of deeper, more fundamental imbalances such as simple nutritional deficiencies, excess toxicity, chronic dehydration or a lack of circulation. Correct the underlying imbalances, and the so-called diseases disappear. (The body heals itself.) When a chronically dehydrated person starts drinking plenty of water, for example, his asthma often disappears. When a person suffering from heart disease stops consuming hydrogenated oils, fried foods and processed foods, and replaces it with superfoods and high-density nutrition, his heart disease vanishes." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "In many cases, high blood pressure is simply a sign of chronic dehydration. The second thing to keep in mind regarding high blood pressure is your blood viscosity. This has been explored elsewhere in this book, but remember that sticky blood takes more pressure to pump through your system. If you're eating a lot of saturated animal fats and hydrogenated oils— and you lack good nutrition—then your blood is going to be stickier, more viscous and more difficult to pump through your arteries. This means that you will have higher blood pressure." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"It's common sense that every organism needs plenty of fresh water or it's going to immediately start to suffer the consequences of chronic dehydration. It's common sense that every biological system needs vitamins and minerals and even natural sunlight in order to be healthy. It's also common sense that if you start depriving these organisms of good nutrition, or feeding them calories that are nutritionally depleted, such as those found in white rice and other refined grains, then you will promote nutritional deficiencies that ultimately lead to chronic disease." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"In many cases, the body's blood vessel walls, liver bile ducts, lymphatic ducts, kidneys, intestinal tract, and other organs of elimination are so congested that chronic dehydration becomes inevitable. To restore health, the body needs to be cleansed and nourished properly, which is the main theme of this book. Most people have no real understanding of what pain is. They rarely perceive it to be an important part of the body's healing efforts. Pain is always a sign of resistance to what moves or flows naturally." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Many of the kidney transplants performed today are a result of chronic dehydration, which is caused by something as simple as not drinking enough water, consumption of alcohol, eating foods high in animal protein, or overstimulation of the nervous system. The Caffeine and Alcohol Drama The caffeine contained in such beverages as tea, coffee, soft drinks and most power drinks, not only stimulates and stresses both the central nervous and immune systems, but also acts as a powerful diuretic." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Regular consumption of such beverages results in chronic dehydration, which plays a part in every toxicity crisis. There is no practical or rational reason to treat an illness (toxicity crisis) with synthetic drugs or even with natural medications and methods unless the body's need for hydration has been met first. Drugs and other forms of medical intervention can be dangerous for the human physiology largely because of their strongly dehydrating effects. Most patients nowadays are suffering from "thirst disease," a progressive condition of dehydration." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Also, chronic dehydration is a more and more common problem for modern people who are rushing around between working, taking the kids to school, talking on the cell phone, and so forth, while keeping themselves going with caffeinated drinks that are diuretics and deplete the body of its water even more. chronic dehydration can promote acidity in the body, too. Certain toxins in our bodies promote acidity, chronic infections can promote acidity, and even allergic reactions to foods can promote acidity." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"Batmanghelidj—who spent the last twenty-five years of his life researching water's vital role in optimal health—the vast majority of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration and usually are not aware of it. Most people do not think they are dehydrated until they experience obvious thirst signals, such as a dry mouth. According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, however, a dry mouth is the last outward sign of dehydration. Other, less obvious signs include fatigue, breathing difficulties, sinus congestion, increased susceptibility to infection, and constipation, as well as other gastrointestinal problems." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"My friend Kristin is a prime example of someone who suffered from chronic dehydration with irregular heartbeats and left-arm pain for ten years. An acupuncturist by profession, she'd gone to other professionals, spent hundreds of dollars on tests with her cardiologist, and taken countless natural herbal formulas, vitamins, and minerals to rid herself of these scary symptoms. Still, she suffered greatly. Like so many of my other clients, Kristin had tried many different things to no avail, and she'd given up hope that her symptoms would disappear." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Both of these components, that cause the same back pain, are initiated by the onset of chronic dehydration. All joint surfaces are padded with cartilage that covers and separates the joints' bone structures. This firm layer of cartilage, which is attached to the ends of the bones in all joints, contains a vast quantity of water that gives the cartilage its lubricative and smooth gliding properties. A water-lubricated cartilage has the ability to glide over the opposing cartilage surface, and makes it possible for the joint to go through its normal motions without pain or clicking noises." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"It's all part of a water conservation strategy pursued by your body (just like the beating heart after running up a hill) during chronic dehydration. But what do modern doctors do? They see the production of histamines by the body and they give it a name: Asthma. Then they "treat" the asthma by making patients inhale drugs containing - guess what? ?antihistamines. So the drug blocks the histamine production and masks the symptom. But there was no real disease in the first place (and the patient is still dehydrated)." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "A non-biohacking way would be to simply drink more water, thereby ending the state of chronic dehydration that forced the body to produce histamines. The production of histamines is one way the body manages a drought. It reduces the elimination of water vapor, thereby saving the brain from dehydration. Conventional medicine only sees histamine production as a symptom, then gives that symptom a name like "asthma" and produces a drug that counteracts the most obvious and blatant symptoms associated with that label. That is a classic case of biohacking." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Batmanghelidj found that chronic dehydration can lead to the following conditions: hypertension, ulcers, headaches, dyspeptic pain, colitis, false appendicitis pain, hiatal hernia, rheumatoid arthritis pain, lower back and neck pain, angina pain, stress and depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excess body weight, overeating, asthma and allergies, sleep disorders, fatigue, and pain. As I followed the miracle of rehydration, I watched in awe as various symptoms disappeared in many of my patients, merely by drinking the correct kind of water in the proper amounts." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.) "In the process of metabolism inside the cell, water breaks down and extracts the nutrients we need for energy. chronic dehydration equals chronic fatigue. 7. Water is essential to rebuild every cell, tissue, and organ in our bodies. If we are chronically dehydrated, we are not regenerating properly. Many of us experience thirst constantly. But when you get to the point where you don't experience thirst anymore, your dehydration is so severe your body has virtually stopped sending you the thirst signal. Dr." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.) "What chronic dehydration Can Do 1. Every organ in the body can function only according to the level at which it is hydrated, meaning we have only as much energy as the level of bodily hydration. 2. Dehydration can greatly compromise your digestive process. You need water to help your body make enzymes, and to act as the mailmen to carry them wherever they need to go. At least 50 percent of my clients' cases of constipation were caused by dehydration. 3. We need water to eliminate toxins from the body through the skin, the bowels, the kidneys, and the bladder." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"In the case of the onset of chronic dehydration and its consequence of osteoporosis, my opinion is there may be a gap of one to three decades. It is my understanding that the very gradual loss of thirst sensation—the primary cause for the establishment of chronic dehydration—begins after the third decade of life, while the establishment of osteoporosis is mostly seen during the sixth decade of life. Thus, the tip of balance in favor of gradual and incipient bone resorption becomes established over the span of many years." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.)

"Batmanghelidj, most people unknowingly suffer from chronic dehydration. Dehydration contributes to toxic overload in the body, which can lead to a hyperactive immune system and cause or contribute to a variety of diseases, including arthritis, asthma, colitis, depression, diabetes, dyspeptic ulcer, duodenitis, gastritis, heartburn, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low back pain, neck pain, and osteoporosis. chronic dehydration is also a cause of kidney stones and other kidney problems." - Larry Trivieri, Jr., Alternative Medicine the Definitive Guide, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"Yet this indirect but very potent mechanism of interferon shutdown by histamine is why chronic dehydration is the primary culprit in cancer formation. The human body, under normal circumstances, has all the faculties to prevent transformed cells from becoming cancerous—but only if it does not fall into the chemical abyss of dehydration. nterferon Figure 6-8." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.)

"Then she heard me on a radio interview explaining chronic dehydration as a major cause of so many health problems. She bought my book Your Body's Many Cries for Water and, after reading it, began drinking more water. The result: "After about a month I found I could and still can hear the watch tick with my left ear." This simple observation on "nerve recovery" by a person who was alert to the loss of an important function is an indication of how chronic dehydration can lead to devastating results, and how correction of dehydration in time can reverse a potentially permanent pathology." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.)

"None of the cells of the body works at optimum functioning levels if they are chronically dehydrated, and some experts believe chronic dehydration can contribute to cancer by causing cell damage. So, the common modern way of eating and drinking is full of nutritional deficiencies and, at the same time, complicated with an overabundance of harmful substances. This type of diet contributes to "deficient control mechanisms." And when an overload of toxins barrage the body on a daily basis for year after year, there are going to be problems." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"If water isn't eventually replaced it can lead to some very serious health problems caused by chronic dehydration. In order to lose fat and excess weight permanently and healthfully you need to do it slowly. The best way to lose weight is to make little adjustments in the types of food you eat and increase your activity level and stop worrying about counting calories or denying yourself. It can be done.
