Guest guest Posted October 5, 1999 Report Share Posted October 5, 1999 Yes Kyla, I am just like you. I don't like to drink anything and especially water. I am almost never thirsty. cooky Kyla MacKenzie wrote: > > From: " Kyla MacKenzie " <celticfox@...> > > Just a question for you all... > > I hear all the time about people with excessive hunger, lack of > hunger and excessive thirst...but rarely do I ever hear of people > having a total lack of thirst.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 1999 Report Share Posted October 5, 1999 Water carries off toxins, carries nutrients to the cells and lubricates the joints. Anybody who does not drink adequate amounts of water daily is setting himself up for major problems down the line.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 1999 Report Share Posted October 5, 1999 Hi Ethel, I think what Kyla means is that is pure torture for a few of us to get our daily water in because we don't like to drink and never get thirsty. A few people I work with and even my hubby need to have something to drink all of the time but. Its no problem for them to drink lots of water. I on the other hand really have to push to drink anything even soft drinks or tea. Never drink coffee. But we do drink water because its recommended on thisprotocol!!! cooky Snooks wrote: > > From: Snooks <emsnooks@...> > > Water carries off toxins, carries nutrients to the cells and lubricates > the joints.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Kyla, I thought I was the only one like that. While everyone else drinks something with their meal, I rarely want anything. I too make a concious effort to drink water or juice just because I know I should T.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Hi Kyla, That's a bit worrying actually and I'd say you're chronically dehydrated. Starving people don't feel hungry after a while and couldn't eat a normal meal if offered to them. I'd get a big bottle and measure say, 4 glasses of water into it and then sip it slowly all day and make sure you drink it all. As your tissues take in the water you'll probably start to feel thirsty and then can put up your water intake to 8 glasses a day, the amount recommended for normal body functioning. Tea and coffee don't cut it as they're diuretics. My husband was a carer for a disabled person who limited his fluid intake to two cups of tea a day so that he wouldn't have to get out of his wheelchair. While it's easy to understand his motivation, he refused to believe that the lack of water would make him ill. He eventually ended up in the emergency room of the local hospital with severe dehydration and had to be put on a drip for several days. Chris. I hear all the time about people with excessive hunger, lack of hunger and excessive thirst...but rarely do I ever hear of people having a total lack of thirst. For many years now, I have had the problem of having a very poor thirst. I can go all day without drinking any fluids, except for the odd cup of coffee or two. Somedays I go all day and drink absolutely nothing. Not because I choose to, but because my body just doesn't get thirsty. At the end of the day, I have to force myself to drink a bottle or two of water, leaving my stomach very bloated and upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 I know this is weird, but when I pour a 4 oz glass of water, it is very easy to drink. So I do that, then pour another and drink that. If I pour an 8 oz glass of water and try to drink it all at once, it is hard to do. Is that weird or what? But it's a thought - you might try that as well.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Kyla, Yes, I have the same experience. But lately my new dr is so adamant that I drink as much water as possible that I have finally begun to get used to it and it doesn't affect me now. I drink as much as I can in the evening and i am starting to walk again!! I have RA. So now I am a believer!!! If that is all it takes...I can do it. Have you ever read the book " Your bodies various cries for water " ? Good book.

Perhaps it's more common than I think? Thanks, ~Kyla >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
