What do you wash your body with? What do you wash your pets or vehicle with? Now let's think what are we washing the inside of our body with? We are 70% water and our brain is 85% water. Yet many people drink little or no water each day. This causes dehydration, turns a clean colon bad and leads to other health problems When your body is dehydrated you cannot remove all the liquid or solid waste in the body. You must be hydrated to remove waste. The waste that builds up will keep nutrition from being absorbed and the built-up waste will be reabsorbed into the body. May health problems are caused from the toxins that are reabsorbed from the colon. A clean colon and water is a great place to start to get or maintain health. On a side note we are working with a person on dialyses and getting great results. So I guess the " extra work for the kidneys " is only if you are not drinking good, clean water. Good clean water is a easy way to increase or maintain health. Half your body weight in pounds is the number of ounces of water a person should drink everyday at a minimum.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 : I believe the key here is, as Rick points out, what kind of salt you use, and what kind of salt is in commercial foods that the general population eat. You appear to have a handle on your salt. My Doctor once said that I have low blood pressure, but I would never die of a heart problem, as I might if it were too high, but he said I will have your downers. In the :downer " days one feels like doing something to raise the blood pressure, but from what I undestand, on the question of salt, I wouldn't for myself, increase the use of regular store bought salt.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Darryl: I find no problem with what you are saying, particularily when you qualify it by referring to people who drink little or no water each day, which can cause them to be dehydrated. I was wondering where is the relevance to the question of how much water we should drink to be heathy, to the amount used to wash our pets and vehicles, washing the insides of our body, dialysis, and how much water our body and brains hold. I do not believe that colon health, to which you refer, is sustained altogether by drinking a lot of water, although a Doctor friend suggests it is a good practice to take a glass or two upon rising. Colon health is attributed to good food, in the right amount, and to good disgestion, calm and poise, and controlling stress, among other things. Drinking profuse amounts of water with meals, and of cold water, is a sure cause for indigestion, and if continued, colon and other health problems are sure to follow. I have seen people, and dined with people, who would drink 3-4 very tall glasses of cold water with their meals, and their health showed it. We must have enough water to sustain the metabolic processes in our body, and to be told that each and every one of us should drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, or drink so much according to our body weight, I would ask if this a realistic approach. On hot days in summer, when we perspire, abundantly, we need more to drink, and on the cold days of winter we should not expect to drink so much. Also, when we are very active and/or work hard, we produce more metabolic toxins, and it is then expected that more water would be needed to move these toxins out of our body more readily, as through the kidneys, colon, and skin. Some people have a different metabolic rate than others, I understand, and this can affect the amount of water one would require. When I see people carrying around bottles of water and drinking from them frequently, I wonder if they are drinking because the body is telling them, or is it because they just think they have to keep drinking water because they are told they have to drink so much a day, whether their body calls for it or not. I even see people with their water bottle to their lips in Church, at least I assume it is water in the bottle. I do appreciate your concern here, Darryll, and as I puruse your website I see that you have a lot to offer to others towards caring for their own health. I recommend that others in the group take a look at it, so that the health and knowledge they wish for, may come to fruition. If I have missed something here I would be happy to know of it. One fellow is supposed to have said this, when asked about his health -- " I eat when I am hungry, I drink when I am dry, and if the devil (?) doesn't get me, I will live until I die.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Nicely stated, , I guess I missed what Darryl said, but you presented a very balanced approach here. I have been wondering about the need for all of this water drinking lately. I think at least part of it is a fad, spurred on by a few who honestly believe they should be drinking water constantly. ( I can't believe we are actually BUYING bottled water - I'm old enough to remember the days when that would have been unthinkable. Is our drinking water REALLY that bad/unsafe? Is the bottled water REALLY that much better/safer? I have my doubts.) Will we be buying bottled air next? With the proper " scare and sell " tactics, virtually anything can be sold...and is... Have a good day. Bob B.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I agree Bob It is absurd to buy bottled water - however anyone with a health problem should go out of their way to avoid fluoridated water. I consider it a small investment in health to buy bottled water. Even then you have to educate yourself because not all bottled waters are fluoride free = see to check out what waters are safer: http://bwater.best.vwh.net/bott/ Rick > Nicely stated, , > > I guess I missed what Darryl said, but you presented a very balanced > approach here.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Re, fluoride free water, as kids in australia we were told that fluoride in our drinking water and toothpaste etc was good for our teeth and bones.Our family lived on a farm,we drank fresh rain water from rain water tanks,grew all our own vegs,chickens,meat, and milked our cows.our mother made icecream and butter etc.Years later i read that certain cities in the u.s.a. had banned fluoride from the drinking water and that the fluoride had eaten out all the brass fittings.I also read that fluoride was one of the most caustic chemicals known.WHY are they allowed to poison us slowly??
