Staying Healthy w/ Water - question

[Guest guest]

Dear Dawne...

 

I have heard of this before.... The Diamonds, authors of Fit For

Life, said that people can drink too much, straining the kidneys,

and that we should get our water mainly from our foods- they were

promoting a heavy concentration of fruits in their program.

 

I remember going " huh? " too... I can kinda see where too much water

would make the kidneys work too much... But that being said, I

think it is like being too alkaline... The preponderance of people

are way overly acidic. The few that are overly alkaline are a

rarity at best...

 

So, for me, I settled on the side that said we need to get as much

water in as we can, taking into account that drinking for most

people means soda, (non-herbal) tea, coffee, or alcohol- all reasons

we need to drink even more water so we can flush them out... And

depending on the season, and where you live, (I live in a desert) I

have noticed even for myself, I need to drink more than I am thirsty

for... So, I think we need to train ourselves to drink water, so I

distrust even more that people will eat enough water laden foods to

make up for the difference....

 

And kudos to the person who brought up the book, " Your Bodies Many

Cries For Water " !!! That is an excellent book!!! I have seen

people who followed its recommendations and found pain relief within

days for a condition they had had for years...

 

So I hope that helps some...

 

Be Well,

Misty

ps- your honey smelling sneezing situation is a homeopath's dream

come true... We love those bizarre questions that go to the

heart of a person's individual and unique experience... I am a

little too foggy tonight to look it up, but that is on my list for

tomarrow...
