INTRODUCTION
Chronic cellular dehydration - labelled as
disease of unknown origin.
Pharmaceuticals don’t cure - they only treat - commercialism in
medicine, "gadget" production is ongoing.
Doctors traditionally use chemicals & procedures to deal with chronic
dehydration = high cost health care.
U.S. Health Care = 28% of GNP by 2010.
WHY MEDICINE DOESN’T CURE DISEASE.
Water is the primary agent in events taking
place in the body.
Physiology of crisis management of water is established.
Water reserves of the body become strictly rationed.
Every function of the body is pegged to the flow of water.
Vital organs come first.
Brain is NO 1 - 18-20% of blood circulation.
Doctors silence the water rationing signals with chemicals.
Dry mouth = extreme dehydration.
Damage occurs before this is evident.
New Paradigm
Water content regulates all body functions
including the solids that are dissolved in it - hormones, chemical
messengers and nutrients.
Neurotransmitter systems -histamine etc become more active during
water rationing in the body.
Include disease states that at present appear as genetic diseases.
Three Stages of Life
- Foetal - morning sickness = thirst of
foetus & mother.
- Full stage of growth 18-25 yrs.
- Adult - death.
- As age increases, water content of cells
decreases. Ratio of intercellular to extra cellular water changes
from 1.1 - 0.8.
- Water keeps the cell volume balanced &
salt maintains volume outside the cells and in circulation.
- Lack of water affects efficiency of cell
activity = low water inside cells.
- Chronic dehydration causes symptoms that =
disease.
- Loss of thirst sensation increases with
age.
- Substituting other liquid for water will
not solve problems.
- Water has firm role in all aspects of
metabolism - chemical reactions are water dependant.
- At the cell membrane - water flow
generates hydro-electric energy - stored and used in
neurotransmission.
- Water sticks the solid structure of cells
together.
- Products manufactured by brain cells are
transported on "waterways" to the nerve endings to be used to
transmit messages.
- Proteins and enzymes function more
efficiently when in low density solution (low viscosity). In high
viscosity ( dehydration) they become less efficient.
- Low water intake = drought management put
into place.
Descriptive Drought Indicators
- Tired - chronic fatigue (when not the
result of strenuous work)
- Flushed - circulation to the brain is
increased to get more water to the brain.
- Irritable - anger without cause.
- Anxious.
- Dejected.
- Depressed.
- Cravings.
Crisis Calls for Water
- Heartburn
- Dyspepsia
- Rheumatoid Pain
- Back pain
- Migraine
- Leg pain when walking
- Fibro myalgia
- Colitis
- Angina
- Morning sickness
Drought Management Programmes of the Body
- Asthma & allergies
- Hypertension
- Type 11 diabetes
- Constipation
- Auto immune disease
Water Requirement
1/2 the body weight in lbs = ozs of water
required.
eg - 60 lb child requires 30 oz water + some salt.
HISTAMINE
- Neurotransmitter that regulates water
intake & drought management.
- Its high production & release is
proportional to water shortage especially in children.
- Regulates thirst mechanism to increase
water intake.
- Establishes a rationing system for
available water during dehydration
- Is a growth factor in the body - growing
children produce more histamine.
- Increased histamine release in the lungs
causes spasm of the bronchioles - designed to conserve water that
would normally evaporate during breathing.
In Dehydration
Stage by stage drought management programmes
of the body are activated - bronchial constriction - asthma - may be
first sign in some people.
Children ore susceptible than adults. (smaller, less rigid bronchial
trees & less water reserves than adults).
Asthma during exercise & stress - part of water preservation & crisis
management during dehydration.
Histamine sees that available water is
strictly preserved & distributed according to priority of function.
- Increase in water = decrease in histamine.
Therefore water is a natural antihistamine.
- Histamine regulates the immune system.
- When water regulation responsiblities rise
- the immune system regulation is inhibited.
- Long term dehydration = increased
histamine production, suppresses the immune system at its bone
marrow site.
- Then the immune system cannot cope in
other diseases including cancer, when the body has suffered
"drought" for some time.
The histamine directed neurotransmitter
system becomes active and directs subordinate systems that promote
water intake = redistribution of water in body.
Histamine and other water regulators
(prostaglandins, kinins, etc) cause pain when they come across pain
sensing nerves in the body.
Therefore, chronic pain should be translated as a thirst signal.
CHART P23
Pain
Chronic pain not explained by injury or
infection should be interpreted as dehydration of the affected area -
eg - dyspepsia, rheumatoid arthritis, angina, low back pain, leg pain,
migraine, hangover pain, colitis/constipation.
- All these pains should be treated with
adjustment to daily water intake. - 2 1/2 L daily before using
routine pain killers.
- Caution - increase water intake must =
increase urine output - otherwise trouble (kidneys not working
properly)
- Long term pain killers cause their own
side effects (liver & kidney damage) as well as silencing the
ongoing dehydration signals.
DYSPEPTIC PAIN
Dyspeptic pain = dehydration. Treat with
water alone.
With ulceration - attention to diet as well.
After a certain threshold of pain, local pain
killers will not be effective - only water will reduce the histamine
component of pain at CNS level.
Less severe cases get total relief of dyspepsia in about 8 mins with 3
glasses of water.
To digest food requires copious amounts of
water to activate the Hydrochloric acid and enzymes that break down
food.
CHART P30
Mucus covers the glands layer of the stomach.
Mucus is 98% water - acts as a buffer state.
Cells below the mucous secrete sodium bicarbonate which is trapped in
a water layer.
Acid from the stomach tries to penetrate the mucus layer and is
neutralised by bicarbonate.
Particularly important to have well hydrated
stomach prior to eating - hydrate the mucus layer from bottom up to
protect from hydrochloric acid.
WATER is the ONLY substance the body WANTS,
NEEDS & is CALLING FOR in dyspepsia.
If water is taken and it relieves the pain,
with adequate food intake the ulcer will repair itself in due time.
The bacteria blamed for ulcers naturally live
in the intestines. They take unfair advantage of the immune system
suppression that is a direct outcome of dehydration.
Aluminium antacids are strongly implicated in
Alzheimer type diseases.
Brain capillaries respond to dehydration by
dilating - histamine stimulates them. Antihistamines block this action
when the brain is under stress = less blood flows to brain.
Suggested that the primary cause of
Alzheimer’s is chronic dehydration.
Secondary cause - aluminium toxicity.
Forced increase in water intake can help restore memory in
Alzheimer’s.
Pain from stomach tumour will not be relieved
by water. If repeated pain after proper water regulation for a number
of days - see doctor.
Colitis Pain
In dehydration the residue in the colon is
devoid of water.
Colitis also causes dehydration from diarrhoea.
More food = more solid waste = increased burden = pain.
Fruit helps to relieve constipation.
False Appendicitis Pain
Pain without fever, guarding of abdomen and
no nausea - treat with 1-2 glasses of water. If this relieves the pain
then appendicitis is ruled out.
Hiatus Hernia
Part of stomach protrudes through diaphragm
into chest cavity - acid comes in contact with oesophagus = pain &
heartburn.
The pancreas secretes a watery bicarbonate solution to neutralise the
acid stomach contents - requires much water.
In dehydration this is not efficient. The pyloric valve doesn’t
receive a clear signal to open to allow the acid contents of the
stomach through to intestine. (all regulated by local hormones and
chemical messages)
This is the first step in the production of dyspeptic pain - the
initial thirst indicator in the human body.
When water enters the stomach, a
neurotransmitter called "motilin" is secreted by the intestinal tract
(the more water - more motilin). This produces the rhythmic
contractions of peristalsis all along the tract and controls the
timely opening and closing of valves and regulating of flow. When
sufficient water is drunk, the pancreas produces sufficient
bicarbonate solution, the pylorus opens to allow evacuation of stomach
to duodenum.
Motilin has a major "transmission" role in the coordination of this
action. It is also a satiety hormone secreted when water extends the
stomach wall.
- Lack of water in the body stops the
digestive processes taking place in a coordinated manner.
- The pylorus will not open to allow acid to
the duodenum if the neutralizing bicarbonate is not in place to
protect it.
- The contraction of the pyloric valve
reverses, constricting it more and more.
- The valve between the stomach and
diaphragm becomes more relaxed - some acid may reflux to the
oesophagus if lying down.
- Part of the stomach may pass upward
causing a hiatus hernia.
- Eventually if the stomach contents cannot
go down they must come up and through the mouth - reverse
peristalsis.
- Bulimia is a complication of severe
dehydration.
They suffer from constant "hunger"
When they eat they cannot retain the food and have an instant and
uncontrollable urge to vomit.
Their "hunger" is a thirst indicator.
If the body is rehydrated well and water is taken before meals their
urge to vomit disappears.
- Could be a strong relationship between
heartburn and eventual cancer of lower oesophagus (acid burn).
- ALL dyspeptic pain should be treated with
water - not quieted with antacids and histamine blocking agents.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PAIN
Rheumatoid arthritic joint pain should be
regarded as a thirst indication in the effected joints.
Also other arthritis pain - in some arthritis - salt deficiency may
contribute.
The cartilage surface of joints contains much water to allow the
surfaces to glide smoothly.
The bone cells are immersed in calcium deposits.
The cartilage cells are immersed in a matrix containing much water.
PICTURE P 42
When well hydrated the friction damage is
minimal.
When dehydrated, the abrasive action increases.
The amount of regeneration of cartilage cells to abrasive action =
joint efficiency.
The actively growing blood cells take priority over the cartilage for
available water.
The blood needs to remain dilute to be able to enter the marrow
through the tight hole in the bone surrounding the entering blood
vessel.
Initially, pain in the joint indicates lack
of cartilage hydration to take joint movement pressure - increase
water > dilute blood = increase circulation to area = fully hydrated
and repaired cartilage.
(it is the serum diffusion from the bone marrow that hydrates the
cartilage)
CHART P44
The vessels supplying blood to the joint
capsule expand to try and supply more blood to the capsule to
compensate for lock of supply from the bone = oedema and swelling of
joint capsule.
Dehydration eventually causes severe damage destroying the cartilage.
When physical damage or dehydration damage occurs to the joint,
"remodelling hormones" restructure the joint surface. This repair
process often causes a deviation of the joints and disfigurement.
If the initial early joint pain does not respond in a few days to
correct hydration - seek further medical attention.
Dehydration in a rapidly growing child may also be felt as joint pain
instead of thirst.
Low Back Pain
The intervertebral joints and disc structures
are dependant on different hydraulic properties of water stored in the
disc core as well as the cartilage.
Water acts as a lubricant to cartilage and
also the water in the disc core supports the compression weight of the
upper body.
75% of the upper body weight is supported by
the water volume held in the disc core.
The other 25% is supported by the fibrous material around the disc.
Joint activity produces an intermittent
vacuum which promotes water circulation into the joint and draws water
into the disc spaces. (special exercises)
Exercises also reduce the muscle spasms.
Also pay attention to correct posture.
CHART P49
Neck Pain
Bad posture - head bent for long periods, not
moving (computer work), wrong pillows etc contribute to neck pain and
displacement of discs in neck.
Neck movement is essential for adequate fluid circulation within the
disc spaces of the neck.
Weight of head forces fluid out of the discs over time.
Backward movement of the neck produces
vacuum to restore fluid to disc space.
Hold backward extension for 30 seconds, repeatedly. This pulls the
discs back into their normal spaces away from the nerve roots in the
neck.
Also lie on a bed on your back with
head just off bed and let head hang down and back - weight of head
stretches the neck backward and releases the neck and eases the
tension (few minutes).
Lower head to see floor and gently raise to look at wall beyond your
feet.
The vacuum created draws water into the disc spaces and spreads to all
parts of the neck joints and lubricates.
Then start moving head from one side to other down to shoulder.
Headaches
Migraine
- Dehydration - major role.
- Too much blankets at night preventing
temperature regulation during sleep.
- Alcohol - dehydration of brain.
- Dietary and allergy triggers for histamine
release.
- Excess heat without water.
- Temperature regulation at time of stress.
Prevention - hydration.
Once migraine breaks the pain barriers, a cascade of chemical
reactions prevent further activity and force pain medication.
STRESS AND DEPRESSION
Depression = a stressful emotional problem
that makes it difficult to cope with other attention-demanding actions
at the same time.
The brain uses electrical energy generated by
the water drive of the energy generating pumps.
Dehydration lessens the energy generation of
the brain
- Many functions become inefficient =
depression. - Can lead to chronic fatigue and advanced physiological
problems associated with stress.
- Proper hydration will improve chronic
fatigue beyond recognition over time.
- Dehydration causes the same physiological
processes as coping with emotional stress.
- Dehydration = stress & stress causes
further dehydration.
In stress, hormonal overrides become active -
fight-flight mechanism - endorphins, cortisone release factor,
prolactin, vasopressin & renin-angiotensin.
Endorphins
- Prepare the body to endure hardship and
injury.
- increase pain threshold.
- Women access this hormone more readily
than men & have a higher pain threshold.
CHART P58
Cortisone
- Remobilises stored energy & raw materials.
- Converts fat to fatty acids for energy.
- Protein broken down to amino acids to make
neurotransmitters, new proteins & amino acids for muscles to burn.
- Over long period amino acid reserves are
depleted.
- The body feeds off itself.
- Designed to provide emergency material to
get the body "over the hump" when this process extends over long
periods of time it causes damage to the body.
Prolactin
- Primes breast cells to produce milk even
during dehydration & stress.
- Water content is of primary importance to
the growing foetus. Each time a cell divides - 75% of the new cell
is water - growth depends on water availability.
- When water comes to the cell it brings the
other growth elements with it.
- Makes breast glands and ducts grow.
- increase prolactin production = many
tumours.
- Link between stress, chronic dehydration,
persistent prolactin secretion & breast cancer formation (prostate
in men).
Vasopressin
- Regulates the selective flow of water into
some cells & constricts capillaries.
- Produced by the pituitary & circulates in
the blood.
- Helps to ration & distribute water
according to priority during dehydration.
- The capillary compression puts squeeze on
fluid volume in the region affected > hypertensive property,
bringing about a steady filtration of water flow into the cells when
free flow through cell membrane is insufficient.
Alcohol
- Suppresses secretion of vasopressin.
- decrease vasopressin > general dehydration
of body & brain. Causes severe drought in the brain, causing more
endorphins to be secreted. The body’s own endorphins are addictive.
- Prolonged use of alcohol may promote the
addictive qualities of endorphin secretion.
- Women naturally secrete more endorphins
(to cope with child birth & menstruation) & are more readily
addicted to alcohol (after 3 yrs) than men (7 yrs).
Vasopressin reception is designed to keep the
waterways of the nerves fully topped up. In dehydration of the nervous
system, the energy & willingness to do new work is drastically reduced
- contributes to chronic fatigue syndrome.
In severe dehydration (alcohol & increase
caffeine) water has to be urgently pumped into the waterways of the
nerves, more circulation to area is needed. Histamine is released from
the cover of nerve linings causing inflammation - eventually damages
nerve lings (M.S.)
Renin - Angio Tension System
- Comes under the histamine system.
- Activated when fluid volume of body
decreases so as to retain water & increase salt.
- Low water or low salt causes the R.A.
system to become very active.
- Tightens capillaries and veins to take up
"slack" & empty space in vascular system - increase BP.
During stress, some available water is used to break down stored
materials - protein, glycogen & fat. The R.A. system co-ordinates
with vasopressin & other hormones. The main site of action is the
kidneys.
Kidney excretion has to be maintained proportionate to availability
of water to make urine.
- The system’s activity is decreased by
presence of more salt & water to fill the fluid capacity of the
vascular bed. If the pressure in the kidneys is not sufficient for
urine filtration the R.A. system tightens the blood vessels in the
kidneys > kidney damage.
- Vascular tightening = essential
hypertension - is an indication of body’s fluid loss.
- Can be the primary cause of some cases of
renal damage needing organ replacement.
- Once the RA system is fully turned on it
continues to expand until water & some salt are supplied (in that
order).
Salivary glands sense salt shortage & produce
kinins.
Kinins increase saliva formation to lubricate the food during
dehydration.
Kinins also seem to activate the RA system in all parts of the body.
Salt shortage (contributes to extra-cellular
dehydration) also can lead to essential hypertension & chronic pain.
(the kinins ensure that even in fairly severe dehydration, the saliva
production is kept high - so no dry mouth, masking the dehydration
symptoms)
- Tea, coffee, caffeine - CNS stimulants,
also dehydration agents because of strong diuretic effect on
kidneys.
- CNS stimulants release energy from the
stored pool.
Caffeine causes and "over-ride" effect on the body to release energy
& this depletes energy storage = lower energy levels.
- Caffeine deprives the body from being able
to make its full supply of hydroelectric energy & also depletes
stored brain & body energy - possibly causing lower attention span
in children, chronic fatigue in older persons & eventually exhausts
the heart muscle by over stimulation.
- Caffeine interferes with an enzyme system
involved with the process of learning & memory development.
- People with Alzheimer’s or children
with learning disabilities should not drink caffeine.
The coping systems to deal with dehydration
in the body, causing vasoconstriction are the same as those that deal
with stress - vasopressin & the RA system.
Dehydration is the number one stress of the body.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
When the total fluid volume in decreased the
main vessels also have to decrease their aperture otherwise there
wouldn’t be enough fluid to fill all the space allocated to blood
volume. If this happened, gases would separate from the blood causing
"gas locks".
Shunting of blood circulation is normal. When
we eat, more capillaries are opened up in the gastrointestinal tract
and fewer are opened in the major muscle systems. Whenever there is
urgent demand for blood, the system will be kept fully opened.
It is the blood-holding capacity of the
capillary bed that determines the direction and rate of flow to the
site.
After digestion is completed, circulation in
other areas will open up more easily. The most important areas of the
body take precedence over less important areas eg - brain over muscle,
etc.
CHART P73
Water Shortage & High Blood Pressure
Low water intake causes some cells to become
dehydrated and loose some of their water to the circulation. Capillary
beds in some areas will have to close in some areas to adjust to the
slack in the system.
In water drought -
- 66% is taken from water volume inside the
cells.
- 26% from volume outside cells.
- 8% from blood volume.
The vessels must close their lumen to cope
with loss of blood volume - some capillaries in less active areas
close down.
The more the muscles are exercised the more
their capillaries will open and hold a greater volume of blood - very
important for people with increase BP.
The capillary bed must remain open and full and offer no resistance to
blood circulation.
When the bed closes, it offers resistance and the pressure must build
to ensure some fluid passes through the system.
The water we drink ultimately has to get
inside the cells.
Water regulates the volume of the cell from the inside.
Salt regulates the amount of water held outside - the ocean around the
cells.
When water is low, some cells forgo their share of water or receive a
rationed amount so as to maintain the blood composition.
Blood tests may appear normal & yet the small
capillaries of heart, brain etc. may be closed causing gradual damage
to some of the cells over a long period of time.
When we drink less water than we need, some
of the vascular beds must close to keep the rest of the blood vessels
full.
How long can this go on? Long enough to ultimately become very sick &
die.
Essential hypertension should primarily be
treated with water intake.
The body is trying to retain its water and we say NO - take diuretics
and get rid of water!!
If we don’t drink enough water, the only
other way the body has of getting more water is by keeping sodium in
the body. When sodium is retained, water will remain in the extra
cellular fluid. From here water will be forced into some of the cells
with "priority" status.
Diuretics - remove retained sodium = more
dehydration of the body - "Dry mouth" level is reached and water is
drunk.
Diuretics don’t cure high BP - they cause an increasing level of
dehydration & make the body more determined for sodium & water
absorption but there is never enough to correct the problem.
After time they don’t work anymore & more drugs are given.
Water is the best natural diuretic - if
taken, diuretics will not be needed. In prolonged dehydration with
heart failure complications, water intake should be increased
gradually to allow the body to compensate.
These people have "overdrive" sodium retention and when water increase
is gradual and more urine is produced the oedema fluid, full of
toxins, will be flushed out and the heart will regain its strength.
High Cholesterol
Cholesterol forms the cell walls.
The extensive manufacture and deposit in the cell membrane is a
natural part of the design to protect cells against dehydration.
When the body is dehydrated, the lipids & cholesterol in the cell wall
tighten up the wall and more cholesterol is deposited to prevent water
from escaping from the cell.
Excessive amounts in the cell wall make it impervious to the passage
of water.
Exercise also increases the body’s "fat burning" enzymes to pull
cholesterol from the blood for 12 hours after exercise.
DON’S DIAGRAM
BODY WEIGHT
The brain recognises low energy levels
available for its function.
The sensations of thirst and hunger also come from low energy levels.
The front of the brain gets energy from "hydroelectricity" and blood
sugar.
The sensation of thirst and hunger are generated simultaneously to
indicate the brain’s needs. We do not recognise thirst and respond to
the urge to eat.
By drinking before eating, we don’t overeat to satisfy our urge to
take water.
Brain cells - 85% water and takes 20% of blood circulation.
The brain gets first access to satisfy its needs - it uses a vast
quantity of energy to respond to all its stimuli and also for the
production of neurotransmitters.
The brain constantly draws on blood sugar to replenish its energy
stockpiles.
Recently it has been discovered that when water goes through the cell
membrane it turns some special energy generating pumps to produce
hydro electric energy, much like the hydro electric power plants on
the river.
SO - 2 supplies of energy
- food metabolism = sugar
- hydro electric energy, particularly for
its transport system in nerve supply to different parts of the body.
To keep sugar concentration in the blood for
energy -
- intake of starch and protein and simple
sugars.
- conversion of starch and protein stored
reserves into sugars.
When sugar levels become low the liver
manufactures it from stored starch then protein then small quantities
of fat.
Fat conversion is a very slow process.
In children, fat stores are brown and well
supplied by blood circulation and are easily mobilised for conversion
to energy.
In latter life, fat stores have less blood circulation and are less
accessible to the enzymes to mobilise them for the liver and muscles
to convert to energy.
Inactive muscles are more easily attacked and
their protein broken down for sugar production.
However, when muscles are used, they begin to metabolise some of their
stored fat for energy and to maintain or increase bulk.
They activate a fat breaking energy called "hormone sensitive lipase".
This enzyme becomes active after 1 hour’s walk and remains active for
12 hours after the walk.
When the muscles use fat for energy, more sugar is available for the
brain’s use.
With repeated walks the activity of fat burning enzymes becomes much
more pronounced - very important for weight loss programmes along with
dietary control.
This enzyme also drains the vessel walls of fatty plaques and
deposits.
High water intake = increased energy and endurance and walking
stimulates the enzyme to clear arteries.
When the brain is used more than the muscles
(in stress) the body is not used proportionately to supply energy
needs and often food intake is increased to supply more energy. This
is often combined with low water intake exacerbating the situation.
In stress the body becomes dehydrated and
hydro electric energy is reduced. We eat to supply more energy for the
brain but it only uses about 20% of the supply. If muscles are not
actively using up the other 80%, it will be stored as fat. Excess
water on the other hand just passes out as urine.
Diet Sodas & Weight Gain
Coke a cola & Pepsi cola have 84% of soda
market share.
Of this, only 5.5% are caffeine free.
In 1994 in US - 49.1 gallons/soda/person!!!
Fluid does not = water.
Caffeine - drug, addictive > brain.
- acts on kidneys - increase urine
production - diuretic - dehydrating.
Forces increased daily consumption without
satisfying thirst.
This confuses the "thirst" feeling & people think because they have
consumed so much liquid, they are not thirsty, but hungry & eat food
instead of drinking water - overeating as direct result of confused
thirst & hunger sensations.
Caffeine stimulates brain/body even when exhausted and depletes the
stored energy stockpile.
When soda contains sugar, at least that satisfies some of the energy
needs to replace the released stored stockpile.
Aspartame
180 x sweeter than sugar with no calories.
In the intestine it converts to 2 highly excitatory neurotransmitter
amino acids - aspartate & phenylalanine as well as methyl
alcohol/formaldehyde - wood alcohol - this is a known toxic by
product.
Both caffeine & aspartate convert stored
energy stockpiles into spent fuels (they use up the stock pile). They
cause thirst/hunger sensation to replace the spent stockpile in the
brain cells.
Diet sodas over use energy reserves in brain cells.
Scientific fact that spent fuel (AMP) causes hunger.
Caffeine causes addiction = weight gain in sedentary persons.
They stimulate more food intake to compensate for the brain’s forced
use of its energy reserves. The excess food not used by brain or
muscle becomes fat store.
A reflex action occurs & is the brain reaction to sweet taste.
Sweet taste becomes synonymous with increase energy.
Sweet stimulates the tongue - the brain programmes the liver to accept
new energy from outside.
The liver stops conversion of sugar in the blood = nutrients are
stored instead of burned.
Then less fuel is available = hunger!!
When the sweet taste elicits the above response without supplying
sugar - the greater is the urge to eat - this lasts up to 90 minutes
after aspartame drink intake. (experiments with animals have proven
this response)
The brain retains this urge to eat for a long time when stimulated by
sweet taste without sugar - the liver is programmed to store supplies
instead of burning.
Research
Receptors for aspartate are very plentiful on
some nerve systems whose products also stimulate the reproductive
organs and breasts = constant stimulation of breast tissue without
other factors of pregnancy may well be implicated in breast cancer.
(may also be involved in brain tumours)
If the mind abandons purpose and forgets the
design of the body (caused by chemicals stimulating varying areas of
the body) and gives into over-stimulation of the palate with
artificial sweeteners and other stimulants such as spices in the long
run- the body chemistry may not be able to deal with constant fake
information and not suffer damage.
Some of these pleasure enhancing chemicals
have a constant lopsided effect on the brain and programme the body
chemistry with results contrary to the natural design of the body. The
intake of wrong fluids will effect anyone who continually uses them.
Stimulating children early in life with
pleasure-enhancing chemicals, in some, will programme the senses to
use harder addictive drugs when they reach school age. (EGW comments -
spices etc)
ALLERGIES & ASTHMA
Asthma & allergies indicate that the body has
increased its histamine production (a neuro-transmitter).
Histamine is a regulator of water metabolism & distribution in the
body.
Asthmatics have a high level of histamine in their lung tissue &
histamine regulates bronchial muscle contraction.
Water is lost through the lungs, histamine causes bronchial
constriction to lessen water evaporation during breathing - to
preserve water in the body.
Histamine also has responsibilities in the anti-bacterial, antiviral &
anti foreign agents (chemicals & proteins) defence systems of the
body.
When dehydrated, the histamine activity for
water control becomes exaggerated & the immune producing cells release
exaggerated amounts of histamine from its storage for other functions.
Reversal of these problems takes 1-4 weeks of proper hydration.
When concentrated blood reaches the lungs, local histamine production
is automatic > constricts the bronchioles.
If asthmatic or allergic - gradually rehydrate -- 6-8 glasses water
daily until properly rehydrated - don’t over drink.
decrease orange juice as it contains increase potassium. increase
potassium = increase histamine.
Extensive Allergic Reaction -
immediately drink 3-4 glasses of water & take
a pinch of salt.
This decreases the histamine production & increases the urine to flush
out toxins causing allergy.
Plus have 5-10 minutes of hot & cold showers - will abort an itchy
reaction.
Role of Sodium Chloride in Asthma
During water shortage, salt in retained.
In some people, salt regulation is inefficient.
Some people on salt free diets get a salt shortage which can produce
symptoms just like water shortage.
Salt shortage can be a major contributing factor in severe asthma
attacks.
SALT is a natural ANTIHISTAMINE.
Water is needed by the lungs to keep air
passages moist.
In dehydration, mucus secretion prevents the air passages from drying.
In the first stages of asthma, mucus is secreted.
Too much mucus prevents the passage of air.
Sodium is a natural mucus breaker & is secreted to make mucus
disposable.
(Phlegm is salty when it comes in contact with the tongue.)
Salt is needed to break up the mucus & to
make it watery for expulsion.
In dehydration, water preservation & salt preservation both occur.
The body needs both water & salt to relax the bronchial constriction &
loosen up the mucus for expulsion.
In fibrocystic disease this should be remembered.
A pinch of salt on the tongue after drinking water, fools the brain
into thinking a lot of salt is coming - the brain begins to relax the
bronchioles.
Alcohol & caffeine contribute to severe asthma attacks.
Those with asthma should slightly increase their water intake.
Lupus
Auto-immune disease - antibodies attack cell
nucleus, cell membranes & blood proteins etc.
Mainly attack blood vessels in kidneys, lungs, brain, skin & joints.
Tiredness, headache, butterfly rash on nose, muscle & joint pains,
hair loss, psychiatric symptoms - seizures, psychosis, speech, memory
& nerve function damage, kidney damage, pain, cold extremities &
mucosal ulceration.
INSULIN INDEPENDENT DIABETES - TYPE 11
In elderly - possibly end result of brain
water deficiency - the neurotransmitter systems (particularly
serotonin) is affected.
The brain automatically raises the glucose threshold to maintain its
own energy & volume.
Water & salt are essential for hydroelectric energy &
neurotransmitters.
Glucose is also used as energy.
When histamine becomes active - prostaglandins are also activated
(also involved in water distribution).
The pancreas produces insulin & also large
quantities of watery bicarbonate solution ( which is emptied into the
duodenum) to neutralize the acid from the stomach. Prostaglandin is
involved in this process. While large amounts of bicarbonate are being
made, insulin secretion is inhibited.
Insulin promotes the movement of potassium &
sugar into the cells & also some amino acids. Water also passes into
the cells with these nutrients when cells are stimulated by insulin;
this action automatically reduces the available water that is more
easily accessed outside the cells.
In dehydration, the action is counter-productive.
Prostaglandin E controls water distribution to the pancreas & insulin
inhibition. This severely deprives some cells of water but supplies
enough for food digestion & acid neutralization.
When insulin secretion is restricted the
metabolism of the body is severely upset. The primary function of the
pancreas is the provision of water for digestion. Insulin inhibition
is an adaptation of the pancreas to the dehydrated body.
Tryptophan & Diabetes
When the brain is short of water & salt it
raises the sugar level to balance the osmotic pressure.
The osmotic forces necessary for extra cellular fluid are also
developed by salt content, high sugar content & sometimes high uric
acid content.
In Type 1 diabetes with salt shortage the brain raises the sugar level
even more. This process is masterminded by tryptophan.
In Type 11 diabetes - ensure adequate protein
to make up the possible tryptophan lack.
Dehydration causes a severe depletion of
brain tryptophan.
Tryptophan increases pain threshold.
Tryptophan regulates the amount of salt reserve in the body.
Decrease Tryptophan = decrease salt reserves.
This leads to induce salt retention.
Histamine becomes more involved.
Low salt diet doesn’t help regulate high blood sugar.
Slight daily increase of salt may be necessary.
Tryptophan also prevents errors in DNA replication - essential in
prevention of cancer cells in body.
When the brain has enough tryptophan, the
histamine operated systems are brought down to normal.
- Salt is better regulated
- Pain threshold raises
- Acid secretion in stomach normalises
- BP normalises.
There is a distinct relationship between
exercising and the build up of tryptophan reserves.
Normal levels of tryptophan in the brain maintain a well regulated
balance in all functions of the body.
Depression & mental disorders can be caused by tryptophan imbalance.
There is a direct relationship between hemodilution, water intake &
the efficient transport of tryptophan in the brain.
Dehydration raises liver breakdown of tryptophan.
Lentils & green beans are particularly good
stores of amino acids (also milk & eggs) to keep tryptophan reserves
high.
AIDS
Metabolic disturbance caused by emotional &
physical stress.
NOT a virus produced disease.
Those with AIDS have abnormal amino acid pool composition -
consistently short of some & high in others.
Victims of imbalance in amino acid composition - if able to correct
protein metabolism - might survive & be able to produce enough
resistance to fight acute infections.
Basic amino acids are needed to produce antibodies to defend against
infections.
In severe stress damage the body feeds off itself.
Everyone who shows a positive HIV is led to believe they will soon die
from AIDS - anxiety of having an incurable disease could become a
killer by itself.
With repeated secretion of semen into the
rectum - immune system suppression in unavoidable - not because of a
"virus" but because of chemical properties of the semen itself. Also
the intestinal wall is not able to withstand the forces involved in
rectal sexual practices.
Cell damage could be produced by malnutrition
& also persistent recurring severe local rectal damage which will
itself deplete protein reserves.
It is the amino acid imbalance that kills the
patient & not HIV.
SIMPLE TREATMENTS IN MEDICINE
- Absolute minimum of 6 x 8 oz water daily.
- 1/2 hr before meals x 1 glass = 3 glasses.
- 2 1/2 hrs after meals x 1 glass = 3
glasses.
- + 2 extra to be sure - around the heaviest
meal or before bedtime - to help prevent blood from becoming
concentrated as a result of food intake.
- Concentrated blood draws water from the
cells around it.
Water is the cheapest medicine.
Dehydration over time will produce major diseases.
Constant proper hydration will prevent most diseases.
After prolonged gradual dehydration -
increase water intake slowly & be sure that urine output also
increases.
If oedema is present - only increase water as urine increases & oedema
reduces.
Then increase water ++.
If salt free diet, salt will be taken out of
the bones to maintain vital blood level (27% of salt content of the
body is stored as crystals in the bones and makes them hard).
In a salt free diet - water will not stay in
circulation long enough to completely fill all blood vessels.
Low salt > high acidity in some cells.
High acidity can damage DNA & may initiate cancer formation.
Many cancer patients have low salt levels.
When the body retains salt it does so to
retain water.
It uses this "oedema fluid" to "flush" through the cell membrane into
some of the cells - the BP increases to build the necessary filtration
force.
When water is increased to 6 -10 glasses,
salt should be added to diet - night cramps = salt deficiency.
Dizziness & faintness = salt & water shortage. Ensure plenty of fruit
& vegetables for vitamin & mineral content.
10 glassed of water require 1/2 tsp salt
(approx 3 grams) providing the kidneys are working well.
If ankles begin to swell - reduce salt & water intake until swelling
disappears & increase exercise to draw fluid back into circulation.
Vitamin A daily for liver metabolism & eyes.
Orange juice has high potassium - don’t overdo or histamine will
increase. (1 glass daily is enough).
Very many drug medications are antihistamine
- especially psychiatric drugs - antidepressants.
Antihistamines strongly affect the immune system at bone marrow level.
Before any medical intervention for disease -
make sure body is fully hydrated & several days elapsed - further
treatment may not be needed = lower health care costs.
Increase BP & cardiovascular
disease
Back pain
Rheumatoid joint pain
Total health care costs |
= 100 billion $US a year.
= 80 billion $US a year .
= 20 billion $US a year .
=850 billion $US in 1992 |
- probably 50-60% due to low water intake. |
