It wasn't too long ago when AV recommended eating white flour bread (for some detox purposes). I think he doesn't recommend that anymore. So, he might change his views about water too. > per We Want to Live: > > Water dries out the body. Drink water only when thirsty for water. Analogy: wiping wood over the years with water dries and cracks the wood; oiling the wood protects and preserves it. I don't think it's a good analogy. If you keep wood covered with water, it will not dry out. And we always have water inside us (in and between cells). > Also some of you know Dr. and like his ideas, as many are very close to WAP. He also doesn't think excess water is necessary. Consuming excessive amounts of anything is always bad. The question is -- how much is excessive?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 It's definitely true that water dries out skin and fat moistens it. However, I have no reason to think this works the same way internally. But I definitely find that kombucha or lacto-fermented ginger ale is waaaaaaaaay more thirst-quenching than water, and water with lemon is also a bit better than water. Kat mentioned that spraying some water treated with prill beads on the skin is an instant moisturizer-- the exact opposite of regular water. I wonder how this might be related to the chemical " memory " of water that has been polluted, etc. I suspect that what we have as water, whether filtered or not, is far from the natural form of water we were meant to drink, whatever that is-- unpolluted spring water maybe. Nevertheless I drink a lot of straight water, I guess like Heidi said, out of laziness.
