MEDICAL INFORMATION: OVERHYDRATION " Overhydration is an excess of water in the body. It occurs when the body's intake of water is greater than its output. The excess water in the body causes the sodium in the blood stream to become overdiluted. Drinking excessive amounts of water doesn't usually cause overhydration if the pituitary gland, kidneys, and heart are functioning normally; an adult would have to drink to exceed the body's ability to excrete water. Overhydration is much more common in people whose kidneys don't excrete water normally, such as those with heart, kidney, or liver disease. People with these problems may have to limit the amount of water they drink and the amount of salt they ingest. As with dehydration, the organ most susceptible to overhydration is the brain. When overhydration occurs slowly, the brain cells have the chance to adapt, so very few symptoms occur. When overhydration occurs quickly, a person can develop mental confusion, seizures, and coma. Doctors try to distinguish between overhydration and excess blood volume. With overhydration, excess water is found both within and around the cells and doesn't generally result in signs of fluid accumulation. With excess blood volume, the body also has too much sodium and therefore can't shift water into the reservoir within cells. In conditions of volume overload, such as heart failure and cirrhosis of the liver, fluid accumulates around cells in the chest, abdomen, and lower legs. Distinguishing between overhydration and excess blood volume is often quite complicated, as overhydration can occur by itself or along with excess blood volume. " PRANIC HEALING PROCEDURE: 1. Identify cause of the problem. 2. Apply pranic healing procedure for heart or kidney condition as specified in the Advanced Pranic Healing book. 3. Fluid intake must be restricted. Drinking less than a quart of fluid a day usually improves overhydration over several days. HOWEVER, FLUID SHOULD BE RESTRICTED ONLY AT THE ADVISE OF A DOCTOR.
