"I'm not really sure that's justifiable nowadays with the looming water shortage we face. 4. A good water filter is your best bet, but keep in mind that a good filter will cost more than $29.95 or even $100. To find one that will truly clean your watet and remove parasites, you will need to pay $250-$300. • Drink 8-12 glasses of pure water a day. • When possible, use glass to hold your water, not plastic. Absolutely avoid drinking water that has a strong plastic smell or taste. • Apply a magnetic field to your water for at least 20 minutes (depending on how large your bottle is)." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"While little could be done about the bread, however, Antonina deserves credit for helping the fleet to escape the consequences of a water shortage; her idea—storing reserve water in glass bottles buried in sand—may not have saved the expedition, but it came close. But even with its immediate logistical problems solved, the Africa-bound force was still heavily outnumbered and about to confront a martial nation on its home ground." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Some researchers theorize that heartburn is a sign of an internal water shortage, especially dehydration in the upper part of the GI tract. So try drinking up first before you overload your system with antacids and medications, but do this in between meals, not during meals: You'll want O to drink only about 4 ounces of water with a 03 O meal so that you don't further dilute HC1, which ^ will be needed to digest incoming proteins. § m Step Two: On to Enzymes and Probiotics The natural cure for heartburn is a two-step process. First, get the food triggers under control (see above)." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Officials estimate that in the state of Rajasthan alone, people in more than fifty villages are facing acute water shortage allegedly due to Coca-Cola operations, and that water levels have dropped up to ten meters since the company started its operations in 2001.34 Moreover, at 30 million and climbing, India now has the dubious distinction of having more people suffering from diabetes than any other country.35 So-called science at soda-sponsored symposia Since its inception, Coca-Cola's Beverage Institute has funded no fewer than three scholarly conferences related to nutrition and health." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"During a water shortage, he spoke on a public service announcement to promote water conservation, while naked in the shower. (In just two months, water usage dropped by 14 percent; through continued efforts, Bogotanos now use 40 percent less water per person than they did before the shortage.) He cracked down on corrupt police officers—even shutting down the entire transit police division, which was known for its bribery schemes. He even asked people to pay an extra 10 percent in optional taxes—to everybody's amazement, 63,000 residents did." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"The latter function of histamine is very important, for where there is a buildup of toxins, there is also an acute water shortage (dehydration). When the pain signal becomes suppressed, however, the body is confused over how it should deal with the congestion and subsequent increase of toxicity. Painkillers also prevent the body from learning about the progressive condition of cellular dehydration. In addition, in order to process painkillers, the cells of the body have to give up even more of their precious water." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "A similar situation occurs in the liver's bile ducts, which begin to constrict in response to water shortage in the body. Gallstone formation is a direct result of dehydration. Drinking alcoholic beverages suppresses the secretion of vasopressin and thereby increases cellular dehydration. If alcohol consumption is excessive, cellular dehydration may reach dangerously high levels. The typical "hangover" that occurs after alcohol abuse is nothing but an extreme state of dehydration of the brain cells." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The body, while detecting a famine and dehydration, begins the cortisone release mechanisms to try to survive the food and water shortage. When this mechanism reaches a certain level, it will cause an imbalance of the amino acid pool in the blood and lead to an increased breakdown of cell nucleus. The DNA assembly line (double-stranded helix) collapses into its segments of proteins which the body, in turn, uses to restore the amino acid balance to whatever extent possible. These fragments are what tests reveal to be HIV particles." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"In a chronic water shortage situation, Lima's streets might begin to empty, in a strange kind of reverse migration - instead of people moving from the countryside to the city, people might make the trek back to their mountain villages, where water supplies are more plentiful and crops can still be grown. The city's influence would dwindle, and the half of Peru's population that currently lives in the desert might be forced to move up into the mountains - assuming space and cultivable land can be found for them." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"This type of thirst satisfaction is not enough for the urgent needs of the body, but is just enough to fall inside the body's limit of temporary adaptation to water shortage. In this way, the water shortage in the body becomes a steadily expanding chronic state, and new thresholds of adaptation are forced on the body. This process results in a slowly deteriorating loss of thirst sensation, so much so that the need for regular water intake as a sensation gradually becomes forgotten." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.)

"Livestock produce twenty times the excrement as the human population, increasing nitrite-nitrate water pollution; the extensive use of livestock is pushing us closer to a clean water shortage. It takes 60-100 times more water to produce one pound of beef than to produce one pound of wheat. In essence, a flesh-centered diet creates need for about 4,500 gallons per day, per meat eater, as compared to 300 gallons per day for a vegan (a diet of no flesh or dairy). In one year's time, a vegan saves approximately 1.5 million gallons as compared to a flesh and dairy eater." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"Salt is absolutely crucial for bone structute, osteoporosis being latgely a result of salt and water shortage in the body. A bath of sea salt and baking soda is an excellent external tteatment in every form of radiation exposure. Add one pound of both sea salt and baking soda to a watm bath and soak for twenty minutes; rinse with cool water. This can be repeated up to three times a week for one month in cases of setious exposure. A tablespoon of salt dissolved in a cup of watm water is a quick emetic to administet in case of poisoning." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)

"These local varieties have then been gradually replaced by those very same American hybrids, which need much more water (and many parts of Mexico suffer from a serious water shortage), as well as having a far lower nutritional value and poorer taste. Tortillas made with corn soaked in water with a little lime (the presence of so much calcium in such a widespread dish meant that dental problems were almost unknown in Mexico until fifty years ago) were—and to some extent still are—a homemade product, skillfully cooked by the women and rich in flavors which vary according to the type of corn used." - Carlo Petrini, Slow Food Nation: Why Our Food Should Be Good, Clean, And Fair (Get the book.)

"The signal, however, is actually for water shortage, and the local damage is because of water shortage. Because doctors don't recognize chronic dehydration as the original cause, the "disease" conditions receive all sorts of explanations and labels, and all of them are said to have an unknown cause. This is the basic mistake that has distorted the truth in medicine and devastated people needing professional advice and guidance for their health issues. This is the crack through which all past research on the origin of some disease conditions has fallen." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.) "It seems that the body begins to realize there is no water shortage and becomes more alert to and conscious of its calls for water—it begins to understand and manifest thirst. It seems to me that the loss of the thirst sensation is an adaptive process to false information that water is not available because we don't drink it. If the body is once again conditioned to regular and adequate water intake, however, the thirst sensation becomes sharp and the urge to drink water becomes strong. The body begins to indicate water shortage more forcefully." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.)

"During this entire time, the water shortage was critical. The agriculture in California was seriously threatened, and people living in expensive houses were unable to flush their toilets and wash their dishes. As the ceremony was beginning, one of the participants jokingly suggested: "Don Jose, there is a terrible drought in California; maybe we should make a rain ceremony." Everybody in the group took it as a joke, except for Don Jose. After a short period of deliberation and to everybody's surprise, he agreed." - Stanislav Grof, When the Impossible Happens: Adventures in Non-Ordinary Reality (Get the book.)

"When histamine engages in its water-regulating capacities—in drought—the immune system has to be disengaged; otherwise water shortage in the body would cause a flare-up of the immune system without any need for its overactivity. The role of ILK-1 in tissue breakdown is compatible with the need to release some resources from the tissues of the body—from cannibalism of body's own tissues to the point of causing autoimmune diseases. Why does it inhibit interferon production? In inflammatory conditions, the affected area is shut off from free flow of circulation, and thus oxygen." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.) "He thinks when a person is manifesting one or more of the symptoms of simple water shortage in his or her body, it is dishonest to prescribe toxic medications. NAFHIM has been created to address this issue on behalf of society. For more detailed information on NAFHIM, its Web site is www.nafhim.org. Dr. Batmanghelidj has written six books; Your Body's Many Cries for Water is now considered a classic and has been translated into a number of European and Asian languages. Water Cures: Drugs Kill is his latest book. It exposes how water can cure more than 90 health problems, some of them killers." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.) "When water is not available to get into the cells freely, it is filtered from the outside salty ocean and injected into the cells that are being overworked despite their water shortage. The design of our bodies is such that the extent of the ocean of water outside the cells is expanded to have the extra water available for filtration and emergency injection into vital cells. The brain commands an increase in salt and water retention by the kidneys. This directive of the brain is why we get edema when we don't drink enough water." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.) "We invented our tongue-twisting jargon to label complications of water shortage in the body as a new discovery in medicine, and immediately asked for more money to expand on our labels. What you will read in this book is the new foundation of thought in modern medicine, because I came to see the mistaken labeling through my own bitter experience. What I discovered is a medical breakthrough that will put the science of physiology in charge of the future of medicine." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.)

"Rheumatoid Joint Pain Disease: Rheumatoid joint pain—arthritis—is a signal of water shortage in the painful joint. It can affect the young as well as the old. The use of painkillers does not cure the problem, but exposes the person to further damage from the medications. Intake of water and small amounts of salt will cure this problem. Low Back Pain Dis-ease: Low back pain and ankylosing arthritis of the spine are signs of water shortage in the spinal column and discs—the water cushions that support the weight of the body." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Water Cures: Drugs Kill : How Water Cured Incurable Diseases (Get the book.) "The human body manifests it water shortage by four categories of conditions: perceptive feelings; drought-management programs; crisis calls; and complication of persistent dehydration. Perceptive feelings of water shortage include: tiredness that is not the result of strenuous effort, such as feeling first thing in the morning that you do not wish to get out of the bed." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Water Cures: Drugs Kill : How Water Cured Incurable Diseases (Get the book.) "When the gradually dehydrating cells in drought-stricken areas of the body become inefficient and produce symptoms that denote water shortage, modern medicine, instead of using brain power to identify the physiologic reasons for the "dis-eases" that ensue from water shortage, has called these same conditions diseases and has designed treatment protocols that depend on the use of killer chemicals. Suffering from drought is bad enough, but then they go and further burden the body with toxic chemicals in the name of advanced medical science. Naturally, making money is the primary incentive here." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Water Cures: Drugs Kill : How Water Cured Incurable Diseases (Get the book.)

"Dry mouth is not an accurate sign of water shortage in our body. There is a mechanism by which, even when we are comparatively dehydrated, saliva production is not affected. The reason is that we must be able to lubricate food during the process of chewing and swallowing. The misconception about dry mouth as an accurate indicator of body-water shortage has steered the trends in medical research off course, so that, even today, it is not generally known at what stage the body is thirsty and becoming pathologically dehydrated." - F. Batmanghelidj, Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Get the book.)
