--S-A-- MistyLTrepke: Are You Sick or Just Dehydrated?

[Guest guest]

Moderator's Note: The question of which water- reverse osmosis, spring,

distilled, sun charged- is a question that has many, many opinions. I would

love to hear what others have to say about this..

 

And as far as the 6 glasses in the morning- that will obviously help with

rehydration but it is mainly a therapuetic exercise to flush the inner organs

after your nightly fast. THEN you drink a 1/2 gallon to gallon later in the

day- in addition. I think there is also a recipe for adding salt to the water.

 

The main goal of the article was to make people aware of the healing potential

of water. For more detailed information, please go to the source, Dr.

Batmanghelidj, M.D.'s book, website, etc.

The question arises on the quality of water as our tap water has fluoride in it

and sometimes bottled water doesn't have all the minerals. Can someone clarify

what to drink?

 

Isn't it better to drink water thruout the day instead of the 6 glasses in the

morning within 10 minutes? Too much water can also can lower the salt content in

the body.

Moderator's Note: Thank you for your post, Bruce.

 

I was trying to slip in some advice that was given to me by my master teacher.

Rare, hard to find information for people with serious complaints.

 

For people that have serious complaints it is hard to imagine a squeaky clean

digestive system. Digestion is a foundation of good health, so it seems more

likely than not that a person with a chronic condition could use some flushing

of the digestive system.

 

The advice also honors the biological clock of the body and works with it's

rhythmns.

Traditional (see text)

Time Period Time Branch Organ

 

03:00-05:00 Yin Lungs

05:00-07:00 Mao Large Intestine

07:00-09:00 Chen Stomach

09:00-11:00 Si Spleen

11:00-13:00 Wu Heart

13:00-15:00 Wei Small Intestine

15:00-17:00 Shen Bladder

17:00-19:00 You Kidneys

19:00-21:00 Xu Pericardium

21:00-23:00 Hai TripleWarmer

23:00-01:00 Zi Gallbladder

01:00-03:00 Chou Liver

 

So by flushing the body first thing in the morning you take advantage of the

healing and detoxing that has occured over the course of the night. Notice the

time period for the liver & lungs. Then comes the digestive organs: large

intestine & stomach. So when you drink your water you are actually (most

likely) doing that during the time of the stomach.

 

And to be true to the letter- it was recommended that one drink 1/2 gallon to a

full gallon upon rising. But I knew I would catch a lot of grief if I said

that, hence the 6 glasses- which is still better than nothing. But notice the

grief I did catch. I have often observed that what is really therapeutic is

dismissed or encounters great opposition.

 

I am not picking on anyone- I was/am more than guilty of this mistake until I

began to recognize (still not fully a master of it) that the principles of

healing don't care about my personal preference. If my personal preferences

were instinctively right- I wouldn't have the issues I do. In other words, it

is just another symptom, albeit a much larger and subtle view, of the foundation

of our (my) lack of health and wellbeing.

 

So, instead of tearing down other ideas, can we stay focused on presenting new

information if you disagree? I explained this about how I prefer we don't say

Tai Chi is better than Yoga. If I post something about Yoga, but your

preference is Tai Chi- then post about the benefits of Tai Chi and not how Yoga

is wrong.

 

That way, people that do click in to the information about Tai Chi don't have to

deal with the opposition, and likewise, people may get benefits from the

information about Yoga that didn't resonate to the info about Tai Chi.

--------------------------

Water is the single most important thing our bodies use. You can go for

weeks without food, but only a few days without water. It is crucial to

drink good, clean water to keep your system functioning.

 

I would be careful about drinking too much at one time and 6 glasses if

taken all at once is quite a bit.

 

A lot has to do with what the intended use is. RO will clean most things

out of water. If you have very clean water going in, it is relatively cheap

to operate, probably in the range of 6 to 10 cents per gallon. It can be

rather expensive to maintain, especially if you have heavy iron deposits in

your water source. If you have disolved iron in the 15 ppm range, you will

be replacing a membrane every few months to the tune of $75 and up plus the

other filters involve. Iron kills the membrane which is the most expensive

part of the filtering process.

 

Steam distilled if used with a carbon filter is probably the second cheapest

to operate on the long term. It gets everything out of the water when the

carbon post filter is used. I would guess we spend about 20 cents per gallon

on drinking water we distill. The decided advantage to it as far as cancer

is concerned is that it has a very slight negative charge on the molecules

which in turn does help with fluid exchange between the cells and your cells

need to be flushed. It is my water of choice. We have a home distiller and

have used it for a couple of years now.

 

Spring water is well water with a fancy name. If the spring is clear, life

is good, but unless it is filtered, it still has all the basic things found

in any well water which is something to keep in mind. Most commercial

waters that are sold in stores as spring water are nothing more than deep

well pumped water that is bottled right as it comes from the ground. You

would be just as far ahead bottling water from your tap if you are on a good

well.

 

A good rule of thumb for water is to drink a minimum of 1/2 gallon per day

or half of your body weight in ounces per day. If you weigh 200 pounds, you

drink 100 ounces. This is sufficient to flush anything inside out as well

as keep proper hydration.

 

You can add 1/4 tsp sea salt per gallon of water for trace minerals. You

can add 1/2 tsp of baking soda to water to alkalize it, if you so desire.

This will take the taste buds a little adjusting to, but it is a whole lot

cheaper than $500-1000+ for a " water alkalizing unit " which frankly is a

scam. $2 of baking soda will last you a year and you can go an awful lot of

years on $500 worth of baking soda.
