Water and health

[Guest guest]

May be you are correct, and then may be you are not.

We get so carried away by any thesis that we believ in, atht we justify it every

which way.

1) The Adrenals that regulate water metabolism and the Pituitary, would

stimulate your thirst mechanism, to " ask you" if not " order" you to drink

more. Unless you are sayng that every body's adrenals and pituitaries are dead,

or have reshaped their mechanism, which I refuse to believe.

2) One has to be careful in recommending this therapy to people with severe

cardiac disease, who will easily go into cardiac failure with all this fluid

overload.

3) One has to be careful with people with severe renal disease , if they cannot

excrete all this extra water.

 

If you have no cardiac disease, and no renal disease, you can experiment with

any kind of therapy, more water, or next week less water or even no water, until

your body tells you what it wants.

Western research shows that those who chronically take less water

have a shut down of the water regulating hormone - this is harmful as

the body stops responding properly to water needs. This can be easily

corrected by reseting the hormone to be released in appropriate

quantities - this is done by drinking 64 ozs. of water per day in

small doses throughout the day (example 1/2 to 1 oz. every half hour).

Only water - no other liquids as substitution. If their is any

hypometabolism or other cold symptoms the water should be drunk warm.

for this I recommend carrying the water in a flask at all times -

perhaps for some it will be necessary to keep a timer as this

schedule is difficult to follow as we forget what we are doing.

 

 

Brahmins, yogis and others use water in many processes of

purification and ritual - it is as important as food in health and

many times more valuable than the most costly medicines.

It is a well established fact that the water regulating hormone

malfunctions in a large percentage of people - many people for

example who are suffering from clinical dehydration do not crave

water. Not only do many dehydrated people avoid water they are

repulsed by water and have troulble drinking water at all - sometimes

such people can drink juices or flavored waters but gag on plain

water. This is obviously a complete malfunction of the water

regulating functions of the body.

 

This is an issue that I have done reserch on as an Endocrinologist.

My feeling is that water regulating hormone malfunctions in a large

percentage of those with hypometabolism from whatever cause -

hypopituitarism - hypothyroidism and or thyroid resistance - insulin

resistance - etc.

 

I also agree with the Chinese that the spleen is important in water

regulation. This is related to the spleen-stomach duad of the Chinese

system.

My mother hates to drink water. She had her thyroid gland removed about 40 some

years ago. I never feel thirst because I always have a bottle of water in my

face. But yet I still have no desire to eat food.
