First, thanks to Heidi for her kind words And, secondly I want to add a

couple of things to the great reasons to drink water and stay hydrated. Water

is so cheap that it's cost is virtually nothing. I firmly believe that while

water likely will not prevent an episode attack of chronic panc. it will help

lessen the attack and make recovery easier. Think of any " trauma " situation,

water is usually administered intravenously, to help keep the BP up, to

lessen the advent of " shock, " to stabilize the patient, etc. And maybe it's

an easy and affirmative way that we can contribute actively to our health. It

is mentally better to know we are doing something positive rather than just

waiting around waiting for this disease to get worse or strike, and that

doing something, however small, is better than doing nothing.
