Discovery of the water cure
Mike: Welcome everyone, this is Mike Adams with Truth Publishing, and today
I'm very excited to be welcoming Dr. Batmanghelidj, author of Water For
Health, For Healing, For Life. Welcome, Dr. Batmanghelidj.
Dr. B: Thank you very much for inviting me to be on the air with you and
giving me the opportunity of sharing my thoughts on the future of medicine
in this country.
Mike: I think there are many, many people who have read your books. People
are intrigued by the idea that water can be a therapy, a healing substance
for the human body. What is it about water? How did you first become aware
of these healing properties of water?
Dr. B: Well, it's very bizarre. As you know, I'm a regular doctor, an M.D. I
had the honor and the privilege of being selected as one of the house
doctors, and I had the extreme honor of being one of the last students of
Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin. I mention his name so
that you know I was immersed in medical school and research. And some years
later, I had to give two glasses of water to a person who was doubled up in
abdominal pain from his disease, because I had no other medication to give
him at that moment. And he was in excruciating pain, and water performed
miraculous relief for him. It gave him relief -- within three minutes his
pain diminished, and within eight minutes it disappeared completely, whereas
he was doubled up eight minutes before and he couldn't even walk, he
completely recovered from that situation. And he started beaming from ear to
ear, very happy, asked me what happens if the pain comes back? I said,
"Well, drink more water." Then I decided to instruct him to drink two
glasses of water every three hours. Which he did, and that was the end of
his ulcer pains for the rest of the duration that he was with me.
Mike: And from that episode then, what happened next?
Dr. B: That woke me up, because in medical school I'd never heard that water
could cure pain, that kind of pain, in fact. And so I had the occasion to
test water as a medication in subsequently over 3,000 similar cases. And
water proved every time to be an effective medication. I came away from that
experience with the understanding that these people were all thirsty, and
that thirst in the body can manifest itself in the form of abdominal pain to
the level that the person can even become semi-conscious, because that's the
experience I had. And water picks them up every time.
So when I came to America in 1982, I went to the University of Pennsylvania,
where I was invited to continue my research, and did research in the
pain-relieving properties of water. I asked myself, why does the
pharmaceutical industry insist on using antihistamines for this kind of pain
medication? So I started researching the role of histamine in the body, and
the answer was there -- histamine is a neurotransmitter in charge of water
regulation and the drought management programs of the body. When it
manifests pain, in fact, it is indicating dehydration.
So, the body does manifest dehydration in the form of pain. Now, depending
on where dehydration is settled, you feel pain there. Very simple, and I
presented this concept at the international conference as the guest lecturer
of a conference on cancer, explaining that the human body manifests
dehydration by producing pain, and pain is a sign of water shortage in the
body, and water shortage is actually the background to most of the health
problems in our society.
Because if you look at what the pharmaceutical industry is doing, they're
producing so many different antihistamines as medication. Antidepressant
drugs are antihistamines, pain medication are antihistamines, other
medications are directly and indirectly antihistamines. So, that is when my
work was published, the scientific secretariat of the 3rd Interscience Board
Conference of Inflammation invited me to make this presentation on histamine
at their conference in 1989, in Monte Carlo. And I did that, and so it
became a regular understanding that histamine is a water regulator in the
body. But unfortunately, this information is not reaching the public through
the medical community because it's not a money-maker.
So that's when I began to consider writing for the public, so that the
public could become aware of the problem directly without the interference
of a doctor, and that's how I have generated all my medical information for
the public. Of course, I have published extensively for the scientific
community, but no one is picking up. In fact, the NIH, the Office of
Alternative Medicine, had its first conference when the office was created,
and I was asked to make my presentation, but when the proceedings of the
conference came out, my presentation was censored after the proceedings. So
there is a movement afoot within the NIH group of people to keep a closed
lid on my information so that it doesn't get out, because obviously they are
more in favor of the drug industry, because it is now obvious that they are
getting paid by them.
Mike: I think it is, first of all, that is an amazing account of what has
been happening, and I think it is fair to say, too, that the pharmaceutical
industry and organized medicine in general, really doesn't want to promote
anything that is free or near-free to the average patient. Sunlight is
available at no charge, water is available at nearly no charge -- would you
agree that their thinking is if people can cure their diseases, and achieve
a high state of health on their own with these free substances, then that
diminishes their profits and their importance?
Dr. B: Absolutely. That's why I've created an organization now called
National Association for Honesty in Medicine. Because I think it's totally
dishonest, in fact, criminal, to treat a person who is just thirsty, and
give them toxic medication so that he gets sick and dies earlier than
normal.
Mike: Can you give out the web address to that organization, by the way?
Dr. B: My website is http://www.watercure.com -- it gives you the option of
going to one site or the other -- either Water Cure.com, or you can go the
National Association for Honesty in Medicine. Or you can go to the
information side of my website, http://www.watercure.com, because I have
posted all of my scientific articles on dehydration on the website, and lots
of other free information that people can have.
AIDS and the Pharmaceutical Industry
Mike: I want to applaud what I call your scientific curiosity. I think this
is the kind of curiosity that has been lost in so much of western medicine,
where a true scientist observes nature and observes the interaction between
humans and nature, and remains curious and open and to all possibilities,
and then forms conclusions after rigorous testing, and I think so much of
modern science has drawn erroneous conclusions without really remaining
open-minded...
Dr B: Yes, one of the worst ones is AIDS. Because everyone assumes that AIDS
is actually a viral disease, which is a fraudulent statement by those people
who presented it, because the human body is the product of many, many years
of having fought various viral diseases, and has survived. Smallpox, polio,
measles, and all the other viruses that can kill very easily, and the body
has an ability to mount a defense system against these hot viruses, viruses
that actually very quickly can kill. But having survived those, how is it
possible that the slow virus would kill us in the name of AIDS? I can't
understand it.
I have researched this topic extensively, and I have shown in fact that AIDS
is a metabolic problem, when the body begins to cannibalize its own tissue
because of certain missing elements in the raw materials that it receives
through food or beverages, and the body of a person who gets AIDS, actually,
is short of quite a number of building block amino acids. They're short of
tyrosine, they're short of methionine, cysteine, they're short of histidine,
and they've got a whole lot of others in excess. So how can we expect a body
that depends on the other amino acids to survive?
Mike: Once again we see AIDS is a huge industry for the pharmaceutical
industry.
Dr. B: Well, of course it is, and the whole entire existence of the
pharmaceutical industry is based on presentation of false science, and
advertising this false science and drumming it into the minds of gullible
people who have no curiosity to find out why that is so.
Cholesterol
Dr. B: Another false science is the question of cholesterol. Cholesterol is
one of the most essential elements in the survival of the human body. When
the body begins to make more cholesterol, it has a reason to do that. It is
certainly not to block the arteries of the heart, because we measure the
level of cholesterol in the body in the blood we take out of the veins of
the body, and nowhere in the history of medicine is there recorded one
single case of cholesterol ever having blocked the veins of the body.
So, it is not the stickiness of the cholesterol that is the problem, which
the drug industry is drumming it into the minds of people -- cholesterol is
sticky, reduce it otherwise you will have blockage of your arteries, which
is all nonsense. Cholesterol is actually saving the lives of people, because
cholesterol is a bandage, a waterproof bandage that the body has designed.
When the blood becomes concentrated and acidic, and is being rushed through
constricted arteries or capillaries, in dehydration, then abrasions and
tears are produced in the arterial system, naturally, in the capillaries of
the heart first.
Now if cholesterol wasn't there to cover up the tear and abrasions, blood
would get under the membrane and peel it off and that person would be dead
instantly. Cholesterol is actually an interim lifesaver, giving the body
time to recover from its problems. We never understood this. We are
knee-jerk doctors. We think that something's up, bring it down, if
something's
down, bring it up. We don't ask questions why is it down or why is it up?
Mike: And the pharmaceutical companies know that treating cholesterol is a
huge industry...
Dr. B: It's a ten-billion dollar industry. Now there is a report that
actually these statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs produce amnesia. In other
words, the brain totally loses track of what it's doing, and it is published
by a doctor who is an eminent doctor. He was a flight surgeon, he is a
researcher at NASA. And he knows what he's talking about. He had the problem
himself.
Mike: I just wanted to comment on the number of side effects that have been
recorded as side effects from using statin drugs. Some people have extreme
muscular pain, that amnesia you mentioned seems to be very common, and yet a
study just came out, I saw it this morning, talking about how blueberries
have phytonutrients that are shown to lower so-called fatty cholesterol, LDL
cholesterol, more powerfully than statin drugs.
Dr. B: It's interesting, because you see, the body manufactures cholesterol
as an emergency situation, when it raises the level of its production. Its
normal rate of production is of course is to create membranes for the cell
membranes and brain cells and nerve insulation and of course the hormones of
the body, vitamin D for the body. So these are the essential components that
cholesterol makes in the body. We should never interfere with cholesterol
without knowing why the body has starting raising its level.
No substitute for water
Mike: I have a question for you on water -- a lot of people think that they
are hydrating themselves when they consume soft drinks or milk or Gatorade
or all these other liquid beverages.
Dr. B: Gatorade is possibly okay, but Gatorade has sugar in it, and it's not
particularly good for people who might even get hypoglycemic, or might
induce insulin secretion, and that insulin secretion will produce more
hunger and they overeat. But as a temporary sport drink, it's okay when
you're in the middle of a golf game to drink a Gatorade. It immediately
gives you a bit of the minerals that you probably will have lost sweating.
But nothing substitutes for water -- not a thing. No drink -- no coffee, no
tea, no alcoholic beverages. Not even fruit juices. Each one of them has its
own agenda. Your body is used to a fluid that has no agenda, because the
body depends on the freedom of that fluid, water, because there are two
kinds of water in the body. There is already occupied and engaged water,
which is no good for new function. The body needs new water, or free water,
to perform new functions. Now, when you give them sugar containing
beverages, or caffeine containing beverages, both sugar and caffeine have
their own chemical agenda in the body. They defeat the purpose of the need
for water.
Mike: You're also talking about soft drinks here.
Dr. B: I'm talking about soft drinks, I'm talking about sodas, I'm talking
about caffeine containing coffee or tea. I'm also talking about alcohol,
because alcohol actually stops the emergency water supply systems to the
important cells, such as the brain cells. In the reverse osmosis process
your body filters and injects water into the cells, and this is what I call
reverse osmosis. And it has to raise the blood pressure for that in order to
overcome the osmotic pull of water out of the cells, and reinject water into
the cells. That's why we develop high-blood pressure in dehydration. And
this process of reverse osmosis is stopped by alcohol. It stops the filter
system.
Chronic Disease Caused by Lack of Water
Mike: Let me start this next section by asking you about the correlation
between water consumption and chronic disease. There are many diseases you
mention in your books that are related to dehydration. I wonder if you can
give our readers a brief of what the major diseases are and why they are
aggravated or promoted by chronic dehydration.
Dr. B: Certainly, Mike. I have written a book called Water Cures and Drugs
Kill. It's a book that explains why dehydration is the cause of pain and
disease, and how the pharmaceutical industry has camouflaged this
information or covered it up and instead of letting people drink water, it
advertises the use of their products, which actually do kill. Because recent
figures have shown that prescription medications, when used according to the
instruction of doctors, nonetheless kill over 106,000 people, and make 2
million people sicker than before taking the medication. And then there is
another group who die from faulty prescriptions, incorrect prescriptions.
So between them, about 250,000 people die from drug-related problems,
medication-related problems. This makes the drugs the use of drugs the
number three killer processes in the country -- protected and licensed
killer process. After heart disease, which kills about seven or eight
hundred thousand, cancer which kills about 500,000, drugs kill 250,000
people.
Mike: So it's fair to say that pharmaceuticals, as packaged by modern
medicine, are the third leading cause of death in this country.
Dr. B: Absolutely, and they are useless, because most of the medication they
are using is to cover up symptoms and signs and complications of dehydration
in the human body. The human body manifests dehydration by a series of
symptoms and signs, perceptive symptoms of dehydration -- in other words,
brain senses dehydration, or tiredness when you haven't done a good day's
work, or first thing in the morning when you want to get up out of bed and
you're tired, you can't get up -- that is a sign of dehydration. Then anger,
quick reaction, depression, these are all signs of dehydration, when the
brain has very little energy from hydroelectricity to cope with the
information or take action. These are some of the perceptive signs of
dehydration. Then the body has its drought management program, which are
allergies, hypertension, diabetes, and also immune diseases.
The link between dehydration and asthma
Mike: I'd like you to elaborate a little more on asthma, and the idea that
the body is managing its water supply deliberately in a way that produces
symptoms that are called asthma.
Dr. B: Yes, well you see, drought management means that you have to clog the
holes where water is lost from the body. Water is the most precious
commodity in the interior of your body, and when not enough is coming in and
more is being lost, this is a no-no situation for your body. The
intelligence behind the design of the body has it such that a drought
management program will kick in, and then allergies are a sign of
dehydration because the system that regulates water balance of the body
suppresses the immune system, because it's an energy-consuming situation.
Then you get asthma.
You see, we lose about a quart of water through breathing every day. It is
actually the surface tension in the alveoli of the lungs that produces
contraction of these tiny membranes, and air is pushed out. And in the
process, that water will leave with the air that is leaving. So you lose
about a quart of water in breathing. We need to replenish that. When we
don't replenish it, the body tightens up the bronchials and plugs up the
holes and we call this reduced air flow in the lungs because of dehydration,
we've labeled it as asthma.
Mike: Right. I've always been amazed that the willingness of modern medicine
or western medicine to come up with these complicated sounding labels or
names for diseases that should really have simpler names.
Dr. B: Jargon peddling is the way of commercial medicine. Sick-care system
survives and thrives on pushing these jargons into the minds of the people,
because people don't understand what these jargons, they hear them and they
don't associate with anything in the body, but associate them with those
jargons of fear that are drummed in the minds of people.
Now, children, there are 17 million children in America, probably more
because the numbers rise every year, who have asthma, and the reason is, at
the same time, children have been consuming more and more sodas. Three year
olds to five year olds have been consuming three times as much soda in the
last ten years than in the ten years before that. So these people are
getting dehydrated, they are consuming more sodas, which doesn't function in
the same way as water, and that is why they get asthma. Now, give these
children water, and their asthma will disappear very quickly, in a matter of
a few hours, completely the breathing becomes normal. The need for these
inhalers will disappear.
And when I contacted the NIH and explained all of this, the gentleman who
was in charge of this said I was so ignorant on what was going on, and yet
he wanted to protect his freedom, and so he ignored the information even
though I had gone to Clinton, President Clinton to ask him to intervene, and
give breath back to these children. But the NIH was adamant to use
medication. He wrote me, actually, and said we are satisfied with the way
asthma is being treated. So, this is the situation. Now 17 million children
is America can recover in a matter of a few days if everyone in the country
started talking to asthmatic people and saying water is what you should
take. Can you imagine a solution so simple?
Mike: Yes. Yes I can, and there are many such solutions available to treat a
great number of chronic diseases, just like you've been describing here. Of
course, the pharmaceutical industry I think would be horrified to have that
information become widespread.
Dr. B: Yeah, well, because what I'm saying is totally anti-business, and we
are not talking about a few hundred thousand dollars, we are talking about a
few billion dollars a year.
Treating hypertension with water
Mike: For the pharmaceutical industry, the existence of disease is a
business question, because let's face it, the pharmaceutical industry is a
for-profit industry. Profits are always first, and at least it's my belief,
and it seems that you share it, that any therapy that competes with those
profits is minimized, marginalized or outright attacked.
Dr. B: Yes, recently there was an ad on the television. It was very
interesting -- I didn't realize it at the beginning, but I now realize that
the ad was speaking to me. In other words, it was an ad against my
statements. Because I've said that the heartburn is a sign of dehydration in
the human body and you should drink water. And this guy comes and sits at
the counter and asks, "Give me a glass of water, my heartburn is killing
me." Or something like that. And the lady behind the counter says, "Water
doesn't cure heartburn -- this medication does." So see, this is how the
pharmaceutical industry fights the information that I put out. But
nonetheless, people who did discover that water could cure their heartburn
are wiser than those who buy into that advertising stunt.
Mike: It seems like there are almost two different groups of people in the
United States. There are those who are now dependent on multiple
pharmaceuticals to treat everything, every symptom that they have, and who
alter their body chemistry and their brain chemistry through drugs, and then
there are those who are educating themselves about the true causes of
health. They're drinking water, they're avoiding food additives, they're
engaging in exercise -- it seems like there's a chasm that's widening
between these two groups.
Dr. B: Absolutely. That's why alternative medicine has picked up and you're
getting more people going to alternative medicine than conventional
medicine. You see, I've sold at least over 600,000 copies of my book Your
Body's Many Cries for Water over the past 10 years. And so I've had over
several thousand radio interviews in the past 10 years. Information is
getting out into the hands of the public, so the pharmaceutical industry has
to naturally increase its advertising to nullify this information that I
have put out. That is why they have produced this ad -- one of many,
actually.
Anyway, we were talking about drought management programs in the body.
Hypertension is another one of these problems. When there isn't enough water
in the body, or the body becomes dehydrated, 66% of the water loss is from
the interior of the cells. 26% is from the environment around the cells, and
only 8% is lost from the vascular system. But the vascular system is an
elastic system -- it tightens up and takes up the slack so you don't see the
problem that is going on inside the cells of your body by testing your blood
that is being tested in so many conditions. If people drank water on a
regular basis and took enough salt and minerals to expand the capillary
beds, hypertension would disappear completely.
And there are 60 million Americans who don't realize that actually
hypertension is one of the manifestations of drought management programs of
the body when the body begins to operate a reverse osmosis process, to
deliver water into the interior of those cells which are 66% water
deficient. Now the pharmaceutical industry and the medical doctors
arrogantly and ignorantly are treating hypertension with diuretics.
Mike: Let's get rid of the water!
Dr. B: They are getting rid of the water in the body, at a lot of, how shall
I say, effort.
Mike: Isn't this an example of the arrogance of modern medicine in believing
that it knows more than nature, it knows more than the body?
Dr. B: We, as doctors, are really 007 agents of the pharmaceutical industry.
We are totally blind and ignorant and the pharmaceutical industry has
hijacked medicine. We learn a couple of years of physiology, and soon as we
go on the clinical side we are asked to forget those and begin to learn
pharmacology in order to treat symptoms rather than understand the primary
cause of the health problem.
Mike: But you were trained in classic, conventional way...
Dr. B: I had to educate myself.
Thinking outside the box
Mike: What it is that drove you to explore beyond the limited thinking of
conventional medicine?
Dr. B: I'm always a curious person. I've been a curious person ever since I
was born as far as I know. One day we had a thief come into the house and
was on the wall, and I was only a two and a half year old boy. I went to him
and said, "What are you doing here? Can't you see you're scaring everyone?
Why don't you go?" I wasn't scared, I was curious.
That is what I am, right throughout my life, and that is why when I
discovered that water cures pain, then this was an entrance for me to get
into it and find out what was the reason. And that was when I discovered
that my education was no good. I didn't learn medicine, I learned a little
bit of anatomy and a little bit of histology, which stood me in good stead
in order to understand the rest of the stuff.
Mike: You are, I'm sure the listeners would agree here, you are to be
applauded for being able to venture outside of conventional medicine.
Dr. B: I'm only a healer because that's my way of thinking. I don't think
about money, because money is, if you do a good deed, money will come as a
by product of that good deed.
Mike: I agree with you wholeheartedly there.
Dr. B: You don't have to try and take the last drop of blood out of a person
who comes to you in order to get help from you. That is against my nature.
That's why I've put out my information for everyone to use on the internet,
and it is only for further use or further education that I have produced my
books and so on, and those books unfortunately, the cost of printing,
distribution, forces the price on the information. If the pharmaceutical
industry had the information that they were going to sell, for example the
information in my book Your Body's Many Cries For Water, they would ask for
$10,000 a book, not $14.95.
Mike: And, if they could, they would patent water...
Dr. B: They would patent it.
Mike: And try to sell it to you at $100 a dose, right?
Dr. B: That's right. So, basically, this is what's going on in medicine in
America. Joint pain, back pain, arthritis cause by chronic dehydration Dr.
B.: The human body also has its emergency calls for water. These are
localized emergency calls. We call these heartburn, rheumatoid joint pain,
back pain, migraine headaches, colitis pain, fibromyalgiac pain, even angina
pain -- signs of dehydration in the body.
And the mechanism is very simple -- when there isn't enough water to be
evenly distributed and certain parts of the body are working but not
receiving enough water to deal with its toxic waste and metabolism, and the
toxic waste builds up that area, the nerve endings in that area register the
chemical environmental change with the brain. And the brain translates this
information for the conscious mind in the form of pain.
Mike: So it's just the interpretation?
Dr. B: It's an interpretation, yes. So the conscious mind gets the
information that, hey, this area we can't use anymore, it has a shortage of
water. Of course, the conscious mind should have known that, but bad
education has robbed us of that information. We think this pain is a
disease.
Mike: The predominant diagnosis of this, of course, I think in the minds of
most people, and especially in most M.D.s would be that there is something
physically or structurally compromised in that area.
Dr. B: Well, of course, the compromise is when the tissue is dehydrated,
it's changing structure. The plum-like cells become prune-like. Prune-like
cells do not function in the same manners as a plum-like cell. So, that is
how symptoms are produced. These symptoms mean, okay, let us get the
ingredients that the body needs into the system. Now, when we say
dehydration, water also brings a lot of other goodies to the cells. When we
are dehydrated, these goodies are not delivered either. So, we need not only
correct dehydration, but also to supply the minerals and vitamins and so on
so that the body can repair itself.
Thirst perception not reliable
Mike: I'd like to you talk about how people can know when they need to drink
water, because you talk about in the book how some of the signs of
dehydration, the classic signs are not necessarily the only signs, and also
how much should an average person be drinking?
Dr. B: First and foremost, don't wait until you get thirsty, because that's
an error. Unfortunately, the National Academy of Sciences and some other
people recently have been telling people to wait until they get thirsty
before they drink, which is the main error that we inherited 100 years ago
from a man called Walter Bradford Cannon. And that's why, at the time, there
was a Frenchman saying that dehydration or thirst is a general sensation and
we should study it, and Walter Bradford Cannon said, no, thirst is only a
matter of dry mouth.
When the mouth is dry we are thirsty, which is an arrogant statement, and
unfortunately western medicine bought into that understanding, and that's
why we have a sick-care system, because from the age of 20 onwards, we
gradually, imperceptibly become dehydrated without knowing it. We lose our
perception of thirst. By the age of 70 we may be totally thirsty and
obviously thirsty and yet not recognize the need to drink water, even when
water is put next to us.
This was done as an experiment. A scientist asked a group of elderly people
to withhold from drinking water for 24 hours, and similarly with young
people. After 24 hours when water was made available, the elderly did not
recognize that they were thirsty.
Mike: Even after 24 hours with no water?
Dr. B: Correct. Even when water was left next to them, some of them wouldn't
reach for it. But the young people drank water, and corrected this
dehydration. Now, this is a major problem, and that's why we have so many
people in the elderly sector of our society who are sick, because they are
totally dehydrated and they do not recognize it.
So, waiting to get thirsty is to die prematurely and very painfully. In
fact, this is the title of an article that is posted on my website,
www.WaterCure.com, and also on NAFHIM, National Association For Honesty In
Medicine (http://www.nafhim.org).
We should not wait to get thirsty, because water is the main source of
energy. By the time you get thirsty, you will have lost energy from the
water that you should have drunk and made available before you get thirsty.
So, if you don't allow the gas tank of your car to come dry before you stop
and take some gas, then why should you let your body become thirsty so that
it stalls on the roadside before you drink water?
So, first thing, people should never allow themselves to get thirsty -- they
should drink throughout the day. An average person needs two quarts of water
a day. Average person really needs four quarts of water a day. But two
quarts we have to supply. Two quarts we get from food metabolism and water
content in foods. We need this amount of water to manufacture at least two
quarts of urine. You know, not to put pressure on the kidneys. When we drink
enough water so that the urine is colorless, that is a good sign. When the
urine becomes yellow, it means that the body is beginning to become
dehydrated and when it becomes orange, then the body is truly dehydrated and
some part of the body is suffering from that dehydration.
Mike: So this is a very easy sign that people can pay attention to.
Dr. B: Absolutely.
Mike: They don't need a medical degree to see the color of their urine.
Dr. B: Well, that's why we should become observant to our urine production.
And breathing -- when we are short of breath, it means we are dehydrated.
Mike: Are there other similar, simple symptoms that people can pay attention
to?
Dr. B: The skin -- if the skin is nice and loose and smooth, then we are
hydrated. If it becomes creasy and shriveled, it means dehydration. The
crow's feet on the face of elderly people, that's a sign of dehydration. The
turkey neck under the chin is a sign of dehydration. These are mentioned in
my books, Your Body's Many Cries for Water, and also in my Water For Health,
For Healing, For Life. I recommend everyone to read Water Cures, Drugs Kill,
because in this book I've identified over 90 health problems that we in
medicine have called disease, and yet water cures them.
So, when the body is short of water and they give it medication, naturally
the person will die, because the medication is silencing the many cries of
the body for water. But it's not correcting the dehydration. So we need to
understand these symptoms of dehydration, and the book Water Cures, Drugs
Kill will do that. People can order through the internet at
http://www.watercure.com or Amazon.com or
Barnesandnoble.com or go to the bookstore and get it.
Mike: You have an upcoming book on obesity, cancer, and depression, right?
Dr. B: Yes, I've got a book called Obesity, Cancer and Depression: The
Common Cause and Actual Cure. I've identified why these three diseases are
actually the branches of the same tree, and each one naturally produces a
different problem at different age brackets, but they are all related
conditions that occur as a result of dehydration over time. Time is of
essence -- when incrementally we become dehydrated, the prune-like cells
begin to transform. Some of them become cancerous, and I've explained all of
this in the book. I explain how dehydration suppresses the immune system,
directly or indirectly, and that's how most diseases occur, including
cancer.
Mike: When is this book going to be published?
Dr. B: It will be available by the end of the year. People can keep an eye
on the website
http://www.watercure.com, and it will be posted there when the book is
available.
Sodas cause dehydration
Mike: Now here's another interesting question people have -- when they go
out to eat at a restaurant, there's a tremendous amount of economic pressure
from the point of view of the restaurant chain or restaurant owner to serve
them something other than water. I remember there was a campaign at one time
through Olive Garden restaurants. The campaign was called Just Say No to
H2O, and they were rewarding waiters for making sure people bought some soft
drinks rather than drinking water.
Dr. B: That's because everyone is after a fast buck, even at the expense of
someone else's health. These restaurants are no different from the
pharmaceutical industry when they push something that the body doesn't need.
Of course, they don't know, they don't do it knowingly. One can't fault
them. It's bad education, and we think that these soft drinks are synonymous
with water.
Actually, a lot of children who drink soft drinks actually become "stupid",
but once you take the soft drink away from them, their grades improve
tremendously -- C's and F's become A's and B's. So, there is something in
caffeine that suppresses the enzymes from memory-making. And this is exactly
how the plant survives, because caffeine is a toxic chemical - it's a
warfare chemical for the plant. Anything that would eat it will lose its art
of camouflage, its alertness, good reaction, good response, and becomes easy
prey to its own food chain predator.
Mike: Yes, caffeine is technically an insecticide.
Dr. B: Caffeine is technically an insecticide. So is morphine and so is
cocaine. They are the same family of drugs -- neurotoxic substances.
Mike: Is there anything else in particular that our listeners should be
aware of or should do to enhance their health through the information that
you make available?
Dr. B: Yes, they can keep in touch. They can go to my website on a regular
basis, and we post information there and letters that we exchange and so on.
They can become part of the movement to bring honesty back into medicine.
Because if they're young people, they've got many years to go, and
unfortunately in a dishonest form of medical practice, they can become
vulnerable.
Mike: That website is.
Dr. B: http://www.watercure.com.
Mike: And the other one is http://www.nafhim.org?
Dr. B: Yes, but they will get the option at http://www.watercure.com to go
to either site. This information is free, it's the latest information in
medical science, it's the future science of medicine, it's the foundation of
the future science of medicine, and they have it at their use, free of
charge. All they have to do is become curious as to learn. And the
information is in such simple language that anyone can understand it. I
don't use jargon. I use very simple English to explain complicated problems.
Mike: I thank you so much for your generosity, being willing to take this
time and share your wisdom with the world.
Dr. B: Mike, it is my pleasure, and I thank you. I'm here to be heard and
you make it possible for me to be heard, and I'm grateful to you.
Mike: Indeed, and likewise from this side. It's people like you that will
revolutionize medicine, and that's what we need today.
Dr. B: Bernard Shaw says that normal people try to conform, and reasonable
people do not conform, and look for alternatives. Therefore all progress
belongs to unreasonable people.

I wonder if someone could write the exact same book, but replace
"water" with "breathing". Should be doable. Anyone? |
