The water cure; a mode of treating diseases by copious and frequent use of water, both internally and externally

"If the medical profession is ever called upon to answer in a High Court for its Sins of Omission, one of the first questions it will have to meet will be, "Why have you, for almost twenty centuries, neglected to use water as a therapeutic agent?" R. Lincoln Graham, M.D. from Hydro-Hygiene, The Science of Curing by Water.

No matter what the specific health or fitness goal, one cannot achieve the maximum benefit from any health program without drinking the right kind of water in the proper amount. All experts agree, that next to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing we will ever put in our bodies. It is surprising that so much time and money is being spent on supplements, organic foods and natural remedies (some of which are very subtle and delicate) but little attention is given to the quality and effect of the water with which those items are taken.

    Excerpt from 
    Miracles of Water

    Day After Day ... Patient After Patient ...The Results Prove the Healing Power of Water
    F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.

    I have used water to cure people who were suffering from "incurable" diseases. I have cured people who suffered for 10 years, 20 years, even 30 years from painful conditions produced by dehydration.

    The Mayo Clinic had pronounced Lloyd Palmer, of Minnesota, as incurable. Since 1965 he had suffered from excruciatingly painful arthritis of his spinal column -- ankylosing spondylitis. His spine twisted and lost movement until, he says, he became a "walking comma." He suffered pain for 31 years, until he started to drink water and take salt. He writes: "I continue to be pain-free with my ankylosis spondylitis one year after starting the water/salt regime. My blood pressure is normal as well. I thank God every day for allowing me to finally be pain-free." Lloyd Palmer's story is so incredible that Paul Harvey reported it on his ABC News program. He also wrote a syndicated column, printed in a few hundred newspapers.

    Attention! It is easy to understand what water does in your body, but bear in mind there is more to it than just simply drinking water. You must learn to rehydrate your body gradually and carefully. You need to recognize your own particular early indicators of thirst. Not everyone is the same. You must learn what can happen to your own body when it becomes dehydrated. Not every body registers drought in the same way. 

    Depending on where the drought has settled, the initial indicators are different in different people. Dr.  Batmanghelidj's Natural Miracle Cure Program is vital for your initiation into the new art of self-healing. 

    "Use 1/4 tsp. of sea salt for every quart of water you drink.  Use a good sea salt, one with at least 80 minerals,  liberally with food.  As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt.  Some put it in their  water, some lick it off their hand, some season their foods after cooking. It's up to you. Make sure you take potassium daily (banana, orange juice,etc) "

    Medical Report: A New Medical Discovery 
    by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D

    Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies.

    Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research that I mentioned earlier.

    This is why dehydration produces pain as its first alarm signal. If the dehydration persists and is not corrected naturally with water, it becomes symptom-producing and, in time, develops into a disease condition. This is why people who take antacids to silence their bodies’ thirst pain become more vulnerable and eventually develop other serious complications of dehydration.

    Medical professionals have been educated to treat pain and disease with medications. They do not understand the problems associated with dehydration. Nowhere in their training as doctors are they taught what happens if one does not drink an adequate amount of water every day. learn more about the Miracles of Water

    Water
    1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated  (likely applies to half the world's population).
    2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
    3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
    4. One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
    5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
    6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up  to 80% of sufferers.
    7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focussing on  the computer screen or on a printed page.
    8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
    Would you like a glass of water or Coca-Cola?
    1. In many states in the USA, the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coca-Cola in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
    2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coca-Cola  and it will be gone in two days.
    3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush  clean. The citric acid in Coca-Cola removes stains from vitreous china.
    4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

    8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a  regular cycle.The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from  your windshield.
    FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
    1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.  Its PH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
    2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate), the commercial trucks must use the "Hazardous Material" place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
    3. The distributors of Coca-Cola have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or Coca-Cola?

        Your Body's Many Cries For WaterYour Body's Many Cries for Water: You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty! by F. Batmanghelidj 

        This book explains a new discovery that lack of water in the body--chronic dehydration--is the root cause of many painful degenerative diseases, asthma, allergies, hypertension, excss body weight, andsome emotional problems including depression. The book explains the damaging effects of dehydration in the fourth dimension of time. 


    The Quality of Water can positively or negatively affect one’s health
    Depending on what part of the country one lives in, it is easy to find trace amounts of nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radioactive compounds, petrochemicals and parasites coming from the local municipal water supply. The toxins and free radicals in these waters are made significantly more toxic to humans by the addition of chlorine -- a compound mandated by the public health department. The Environmental Protection Agency now reports that individuals who drink and bath in chlorinated surface waters (i.e., water from lakes, rivers and shallow wells) have a 50% greater likelihood of getting cancer in their lifetime. Most consumers are surprised to learn that one can absorb up to 600% more contaminants in your body in a ten-minute shower than in all the water consumed in a day. In January 2000, Sixty Minutes, the investigative TV program, reported that as many as 100 million Americans were drinking water contaminated with MTBE, a gasoline additive that has been leaching into our water supplies since 1992. MTBE is believed to cause cancer in concentrations as low as 10 parts per billion and unfortunately local water companies are helpless to remove it. Because of such contaminants, two out of every five households now have a water filter or drink bottled water, as will be discussed later, with no assurance of safety. The problem is that the average consumer and even most medical professionals do not know what is the best way to treat water or the best source of water to drink. Learn more:  Hidden Dangers in Water

    Perchlorate, the explosive component of rocket and missile fuel, contaminates more than 500 drinking water sources in 20 states, serving well over 20 million people. Among contaminated sources is the Colorado River, which provides drinking water for Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas and other cities. Perchlorate can affect the thyroid gland’s ability to make essential hormones. For fetuses, infants and children, disruptions in thyroid hormone levels can cause lowered IQ, mental retardation, loss of hearing and speech, and motor skill deficits.

    Water Fluoridation Alert!
    Respected Medical Professionals and Scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health. For over 50 years, the U.S. government and media have trumpeted fluoride as a safe and effective means of reducing cavities, especially in children. But fluoride is not the benevolent and innocuous substance the public has been led to believe.

    "I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association

    "Fluoridation ... it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has."Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), Discoverer of streptomycin & Nobel Prize Winner

    98% Of Western Europe Has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. The predominant reason for Europe's rejection is the belief that public drinking water is NOT the appropriate vehicle with which to deliver medication to a population. India, and Japan have either rejected or banned its use in recent years. learn more about the health disasters caused by fluoride

    Fluoride Removal Filters
    Distillation and reverse osmosis (R/O) are effective in removing the fluoride (along with contaminants) but both methods suffer the demineralizing effects on the body. In my research, I learned that most countertops and undercounter water filters on the market use carbon filters which only remove chlorine and other contamiments, but not fluoride. I found only 2 companies that claim to have the technology to remove fluoride. 

    Joseph M. Price, MD - "Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison.

    Health Effects of Chlorine in Drinking Water

    I use a Japanese microwater machine, the Pure Porte 2, which  is the latest model, made by TOYO Industries of Japan. The unit has been tested by Sequoia Analytical Laboratories in California for fluoride exclusion. The Water ionizer creates alkaline ionized water, which offers beneficial internal pH balance for overall better health and well being. This machine retails on the internet between US$ 995.00 and $1,280.00. I purchased mine at a discount for $799 + shipping.    Shirley

    Antioxidant Water Ionizer (Microwater)

    The water ionizing system was first introduced in Japan some 30 years ago. In some parts of the world, the average person lives to be over 100 years old and remains in excellent overall health. This is a result of consuming alkalized water. The Water ionizer was created to emulate the natural condition of water in an icy stream, rolling from a mountain top. Water in this pristine state is the alkaline ionized water, which offers beneficial internal pH balance for overall better health and well being.

    Why Alkaline Water?
    Scientists in Japan and throughout Asia are continuously studying, researching and testing the effects of alkaline water on the human body. It has been found that alkaline water neutralizes the acidity produced internally as a result of daily stress, poor diet and excessive exercise. Since most of the foods we eat create acid waste, it is important to drink alkaline water in order to maintain a healthier, balanced life.

    Not only does drinking alkaline water as part of a regular daily regimen, aid in cleansing the body of acidic waste, but scientists have found that this water has a positive effect upon the health of patients suffering from severe illness. As an added benefit, alkaline water is also an antioxidant. Healthy cells are often attacked by destructive free radicals. These free radicals cause cells to break down. Helpful substances, known as antioxidants, protect cells from free radicals. Alkaline ionized water goes one step further. It actually converts free radicals before they have a chance to damage healthy cells. Alkaline water seeks out free radicals and converts them into necessary oxygen which your body can use.

    Disease proliferate only where there is not enough oxygen for cells to be healthy. The cells of the body in health are alkaline. In disease the cell pH is below 7.0. The more acid the cells become, the sicker we are and feel. We can remain in health by consuming a diet that is 70-80% alkaline and 20-30% acid. 

    Unfortunately, many of us don’t consume enough alkaline producing substances. Our modern lifestyle and diet make it increasingly difficult to maintain the equilibrium the body seeks. Poor diet, stress, pollution and lack of proper rest all increase the amount of internal acid. In some instances, the body becomes so acidic that it will take calcium (an alkaline-forming element) from our bones and use it to maintain proper pH in the body.

    Obviously, our bodies need the calcium to protect us from osteoporosis. Therefore, it is important to help the body achieve the balance it needs by including alkaline producing items in the diet. Ionized water is an excellent and convenient way to add alkaline to your diet. This water ionizer produces all the alkaline water your body requires to enhance internal pH and increases overall health.  PH Test Papers

    Note: I have been using a water ionizer for the past 8 years. I believe that drinking alkaline water has played a big part in my health recovery. Shirley


    COMPARISON OF WATER FILTERS
    Failure to heed what type of water one drinks can negate or diminish the benefit of whatever supplements or health protocol. There is a significant difference between water purification systems and the type of water they produce. Depending on the type of system one uses and the way one drinks, it can positively or negatively affect one’s health.

    With so much to be gained by its consumption but so much risk of contaminants, consumers face a dilemma to find the "perfect water". For those practitioners who are concerned about the type of water their patients drink, most prescribe either distilled water or reverse osmosis water, thinking the purest is the best. Others recommend bottled natural spring water or specialty waters. As will be discussed, all of these have their drawbacks and none offer the patient the optimum source of water.

    Distilled Water and Reverse Osmosis Water:
    The two most commonly recommended types of water by doctors are distilled water and reverse osmosis water. Both types are generally very pure although both can allow the carry over of trace contaminants if boiling points are similar or if molecular size is similar. Unfortunately, many advocates are unaware that ultra pure water is not the best for regular consumption and that it can carry a significant long-term health risk. To understand the reason why the purest is not always the best, one has to look at the basic chemistry of water itself. Water has what some chemists call a "stability index". This index indicates how stable water is in relation to the chemicals and minerals in its immediate environment. Water naturally seeks to achieve a zero or neutral index. If water has a positive index at a given temperature, it will tend to release or precipitate minerals that are dissolved in it. One can witness the results of water having a strongly positive stability index when such water deposits scale in pipes or hot water heaters. Water that is on the negative side of the index is aggressive and prone to dissolving minerals and metals from its immediate environment. One can see evidence of such water when it corrodes pipes or produces rust. The more negative the index, the more aggressive the water is. Water produced from distillation and reverse osmosis has an extremely negative stability index. This water also actively absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and makes the water more acidic. When one drinks small quantities of this water for short periods of time, it has the special property of being able to absorb toxic substances in the body and remove them. This detoxification is good for the body and aids it recovering from long-term exposure to certain contaminants. However, regular and long term consumption of ultra-pure, demineralized water will strip the body of magnesium, calcium and trace minerals.

    Demineralizing effect on the body
    The more the mineral loss, the greater the risk of osteoporosis, osteo-arthritis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and a long list of degenerative diseases generally associated with premature aging. The longer a person drinks demineralized water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state in the body. A number of physicians, nutritionists and researchers now believe that aging and disease are the direct result of these deficiencies and lead to the development of an acid state in the body. Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, a Canadian physician and clinical nutritionist, reports that exclusive consumption of demineralized water will, over time, lead to multiple mineral deficiencies. His research with over three thousand patients indicates that those who supplemented their purified water intake with trace minerals were not as deficient but still not as adequately nourished in minerals as their non-purified water drinking counterparts even after several years of mineral supplementation.

    Mineral Spring Water – More and more Americans drink bottled water in an effort to seek safe drinking water. Few are aware that bottled water is only required to meet minimum tap water standards in the US. Minimum tap water standards require only that there are no visible suspended solids and no living bacteria. They unfortunately don’t regulate organics, heavy metals or radionucleides. Despite these fairly loose standards, a recent analysis of all 400 brands of bottled water sold in the US showed that 37% failed. In addition, recent studies indicate that the plasticizer in bottled water can leach into the water and then be absorbed by the body. Some researchers are suspicious that these plasticizers can cause or complicate health conditions..

    Salt In Water To Enhance Health

    "A pinch of organic, unrefined salt in my morning drinking water does wonders for my health" Shirley

    "Many people believe that salt is harmful to the human body. The truth is we cannot live without salt (sodium chloride)" Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler 

    An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets – the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” would have predicted.

    Refined Salt: the problem with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat! Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. 

    An abundance of the ingredients in unrefined, unheated, real salt are as synonymous with life today as they were a billion years ago before single cells appeared here. Lack of them is synonymous with birth defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and death at a young age.

    Dr. Batmanghelidj  MD - "Use 1/4 tsp. of sea salt for every quart of water you drink.  Use a good sea salt, one with at least 80 minerals,  liberally with food.  As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt.  Some put it in their  water, some lick it off their hand, some season their foods after cooking. It's up to you. Make sure you take potassium daily (banana, orange juice,etc) "

    Salt water when drunk has an expectorant effect in the stomach and increases gastric juice secretion. It raises the level of stomach acid, hastens its production, impedes or stimulates stomach motricity and emptying-rate (depending upon the salt concentration), increases the secretion of the pancreas, and at higher salt concentrations stimulates the formation of bile acids.

     When organic, unrefined salt lack in your diet, weakness and sickness follow. learn more


    Water Cure

    A Bavarian monk, Father Sebastian Kneipp helped re-popularize the therapeutic use of water in the 19th century. There are now many dozens of methods of applying hydrotherapy, including baths, saunas, douches, wraps, and packs.

    Born in 1821, Kneipp was taken ill during his theological studies with pulmonary tuberculosis, at that time a fatal disease. Quite by chance, a small book on hydrotherapy, authored in 1734 by Dr. Hahn, found its way into his hands, which motivated Kneipp to take short full-immersion dips in the icy waters of the winter Danube. The treatment enabled him to stimulate his physical stamina, or immune system, so much that his tuberculosis went into remission and he was able to complete his studies. Sebastian Kneipp was able to help his fellow students in much the same way, and, during his work as a curate, he cured a number of gravely ill patients to whom he had actually been summoned to administer the last rites. Such successes earned him the erivy and resentment of doctors and pharmacists alike. He was even arraigned before the court to answer charges of inexcusable "quackery". Subsequently, he was acquitted of all wrongdoing after he had described the difficult situation in the country, where a doctor was seldom available, and Kneipp was able to offer the judge persuasive advice about his own health.  His book, "My Water Cure" (1886) took Germany by storm and once translated, spread throughout the world. Hydrotherapy Kneipp also wrote "My Will : A Legacy to the Healthy and the Sick

    There are many Natural Healing methods, but at the top of the list of EFFECTIVENESS in helping the body to HEAL itself, HOT & COLD Water Therapy is second only to The "COLD SHEET" Treatment!" Dr. Schulze

    Many years ago a peasant was heading home on foot, with miles to go.  He was racked with fever, colds, and lumbago.  While crossing a stream, over a log for a bridge, he slipped and fell into the icy cold water and was drenched to the skin.  It was a bitterly cold day and the man had to walk home in the cold in sloppy wet clothes.  By the time he had arrived home, his clothes were nearly dried out.  The fevers and heat in his body had been raised, while hurrying miles home, to a point of healing climax and was down to nearly normal at the end of his journey.  The lumbago and fever were gone and he rejoiced!  The next time he got lumbago and fevers he knew the cure--he would return to the stream, fall in and walk home again.  more on cold sheet treatment

    Water: How important is it for infants? For some readers the very idea of giving water to their nursing babies may be choking. Learn why some experts urge that breasted or bottle fed infants drink water in in our chemically polluted environment

    "Many children don't drink enough water because they were raised on sugared beverages and juices." Donald K. Brown, M.D. 

    According to Pediatrics magazine, many children don't drink enough water because they were raised on sugared beverages and juices. Substituting juices and sodas for water may subject children to potential obesity because kids become accustomed to sweet flavor. Unfortunately, this is not surprising. New soft drinks, sports drinks and powdered mixes that are targeted to children are frequently introduced. These drinks are not a healthy source of hydration and can cause damage to proper development. A 50-pound, active child, for example, needs about a quart of water each day to stay hydrated. Even infants are at risk. Babies often cry when they are thirsty.

    Weight Control Begins With Hydration
    Trying to lose weight is always a challenge, but water can be a valuable and easily adaptable component of a diet plan. Water acts as an appetite suppressant and is instrumental in breaking down and reducing fat deposits.  The rate at which we burn calories (our metabolism) is a chemical process requiring water
    We need adequate water to ensure the smooth functioning of this process. Water helps to flush toxins out our system. The more toxins in our body the less capable it is of losing weight. If you are dieting, keep your system functioning properly and maximize weight loss by drinking plenty of water.

    Willard's Water
    "Thirty years ago, Dr. John Willard discovered a way to alter the molecular structure of water. The resulting solution, now known as catalyst altered water, has been used to improve personal health, accelerate the healing process, increase agriculture production. Technically, the molecular structure of H2O is altered by a catalyst. As a result, the catalyst altered water (CAW) acts as a normalizer on all living things not in a healthy state. When consumed regularly, Dr. Willard's Water can help assimilate nutrients more efficiently, increase enzyme activity and strengthen the immune system. The claims may seem unbelievable, but the results have been documented."

    Willard Water and Plants
    The benefits plants receive from Willard Water go beyond simply providing a source of valuable trace nutrients, as important as they are. The water itself, due to the addition of the CAW micelle catalyst, has become a more "energized" and active form of water. This activated water lends an increased vigor to an organism, due to more efficient which is better able to assimilate and utilize the nutrients and water (which is actually a nutrient) already available in the soil.  The result is healthier, more vital plant growth, achieved not through artificial stimulation of the plant with conventional synthetic fertilizers, but by working with nature, providing the plant with what it needs, in a form it can utilize.  Not only is the plant healthier and stronger, but CAW treated soils seem to have generally better texture and tilth, again leading to better plant health. Willard Water seems to penetrate and loosen hard-to-farm soils such as clay, gumbo and hardpan, making it easier for the plant to develop a good root system and absorb the nutrients in the soil.

    Willard's Water Pets, Poultry & Livestock
    "My first trials involved spaying dogs," said Dr. Wheeler. "I would use it as a cleaner, and when done would spray the incision after closure. Two notable facts were observed: reduced inflammation and a definite reduction of capillary hemorrhage. No side effects were observed." Dr. Wheeler also used the water in conjunction with various water-based antibiotics. "It definitely appeared that there was a synergistic action as the response of the patient was, in most cases, quite dramatic. Recovery appeared to be much more rapid,' he said.  Besides using the water on wounds and incisions and with the antibiotics, Dr. Wheeler tried using CAW XXX (catalyst altered water) in the drinking water for calves undergoing the stress of shipping and suffering "shipping fever." He said, "Three things were noted in these cases: the calves continued to drink water, or if they were off water, returned to drinking water quite readily; second, dehydration was resolved more quickly; third, besides going back on feed more easily, they appeared to have a tranquil attitude. This is very hard explain, but it was very evident and could not be denied." 

    "Winter, my 4-year-old sheltie, was born with some nutritional deficiencies, a general infection, extreme toxicity and a related glandular imbalance. Results were a nervous and unstable condition with lethargy and skin and coat problems. I have worked with him since he was four months old through natural methods and -twice, when desperate, have sought medical advice, which did nothing to improve his condition. Natural methods slowly brought improvement, she says. But she didn't feel that she was getting to the root of the problem, until she tried Willard Water. Now, she reports, "1 have really been able to tackle the problem and see real healing take place. Winter is more stable now with skin and coat improving daily. He has, in the past five weeks, become more alert, gained a spring in his step with an increased front leg extension, his digestion is more efficient, he is able to eat -more without gaining weight due to an increased metabolism, the red lines in the whites of his eyes are almost gone now and he no longer moans when I touch him around his middle.

    Willie, a two-year old house cat in Detroit, Michigan, was slowly dying of feline leukemia, despite $1100 in veterinary treatment. Her owner, Josephine Smith, nursed him through 108 degree fevers, and was determined to see Willie recover. Finally, when everyone except for herself had given up hope, Mrs. Smith started treating Willie with Dr. Willard's Water.  According to Mrs. Smith, two days later the fever broke, and the swelling of his spleen and liver went down. Soon he was eating "everything that wasn't nailed down."

    Hidden Dangers in Water
    There have been a half-million new chemicals developed since 1965 alone. Most of these organic pollutants are modern hydrocarbon chemicals such as plastic and pesticides.  Some are no biodegradable. Most are soluble in water, and thousands are known to be toxic. In 1991, the U.S. Congressional Research Service revealed that 10% of the 1.4 million underground gasoline storage thanks in the U.S. are currently leaking. There are also an estimated 16,000 municipal landfills and 181,000 industrial waste sites in the United States that leech contaminants into our water supplies. Agricultural pesticides and highway de-icing chemicals are other contaminants. 

    Perchlorate, the explosive component of rocket and missile fuel, contaminates more than 500 drinking water sources in 20 states, serving well over 20 million people. Among contaminated sources is the Colorado River, which provides drinking water for Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas and other cities. Perchlorate can affect the thyroid gland’s ability to make essential hormones. For fetuses, infants and children, disruptions in thyroid hormone levels can cause lowered IQ, mental retardation, loss of hearing and speech, and motor skill deficits.

    Chlorinated tap water linked to birth defects
    By Jacqui Thornton Health Correspondent and Martyn Halle

    Scientists from Imperial College, London University, will carry out the research after doctors in Norway, Canada and the United States reported higher levels of birth defects in areas where chlorine is used, compared with drinking water treated by alternative methods. A Norwegian study of 141,000 births over three years found a 14 per cent increased risk of birth defects in areas with chlorinated water. Scientists have already found an association between chlorine and an increased risk of bowel, kidney and bladder cancer, but it is the first time that a link has been found with higher levels of spina bifida. 

    Cancer fighting nutrients become deadly when combined with chlorinated tap water
    Some of nature’s most valuable and essential anti-cancer and anti-disease phytochemical nutrients which are commonly found in food have been discovered to form deadly cancer causing substances when consumed or combined with chlorinated tap water. This discovery includes familiar foods including soy, fruits, vegetables, tea, many health products, and even some vitamins. Research has proven that these essential nutrients are the exact same families of compounds, that even in infinitesimal amounts have been tormenting the water treatment and chlorine industries for years.

    It has been known by the water treatment and chemical industries for many years that chlorine reacts negatively with natural organic compounds. These industries call these compounds DBPs (disinfection by-products) which are known to cause cancer in populations whose drinking water contains them. THM, the most commonly known DBP, is known to cause a high incidence of bladder cancer and also to cause spontaneous abortion of fetuses.

    The Environmental Protection Agency has continually tightened their restrictions on THMs in drinking water, and even tighter restrictions are just around the bend. Yet it is interesting to note that the many government agencies and chlorine industries have conveniently neglected to take a serious look at food, health supplement, and pharmaceutical drug consumption, preparation, and production relating to use of chlorinated tap water.

    There is good reason for the public to seriously examine and question this entire issue. Many years ago laws were passed making chlorination of water mandatory. Now, the chlorine industry and government agencies must continue their existing policies, because if sudden or drastic changes are made, the legal liabilities would be staggering. Certainly some government or industry personnel have known or theorized about these problems and have been covering them up for many years. However, if anyone were to admit to it, the consequences could be disastrous. This predicament could make the tobacco industry scandal seem insignificant in comparison. more

    Cancer treatment & preventionWellness Filter treated water is part of a long-term 300-patient study in cancer treatment in Japan.  Final clincial studies are expected in the spring of 2002 but preliminary test results in comparative studies show 75% remission rate with patients following a restricted diet and drinking 14 glasses of treated water per day.  In cancer prevention studies, it was observed that reduced ions in the water reduced the presence of free radicals and the subsequent reduction in damage to DNA

    Health Effects of Chlorine in Drinking Water 
    "These concerns about cancer risks associated with chemical contamination from chlorination by-products have resulted in numerous epidemiological studies. These studies generally support the notion that by-products of chlorination are associated with increased cancer risks."

    "Chlorine is used to combat microbial contamination, but it can react with organic matter in the water and form dangerous, carcinogenic trihalomethanes. According to Dr. Joseph M. Price, MD, in Moseby's Medical Dictionary, "Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison."

    EPA Destroyed Meeting Records of Key Player in Arsenic Debate
    Just weeks before President Bush reversed the standard for arsenic in drinking water, the EPA destroyed the calendar recordsof a key official who repeatedly met with representatives opposing tougher arsenic limits. The records would have detailed meetings between Robert Perciasepe, the Assistant Administrator of Water at EPA between 1993 and 1998, and those who opposed more stringent health standards. Perciasepe figured prominently in a 1995 decision to delay setting a more stringent standard for arsenic levels in drinking water. more

    CHLORINATED WATER.... A BIG NO-NO !!
    Marina Zacharias

    Chlorine is a halogen that damages enzymes. It does not belong in our bodies as part of our water needs !! For starters, chlorine potentiates magnesium deficiency, which can cause almost any symptom you can think of from high blood pressure, to chemical sensitivity or even sudden death. Furthermore it also decreases the absorption while increasing the excretion of calcium and phosphorus. The increased loss of calcium into the urine, promotes osteoporosis. It is known that it not only contributes to hypertension, but also cancers of the pancreas, colon, bladder and has been linked to heart attacks, diabetes, kidney stones and much more."

    Chlorinated water & Eczema
    A testimonial on Fri, 3 Dec 1999, from Angela Jones <angeljones@excite.com

    I have had Psoriasis & eczema for 15 years and I have tried everything the doctors have prescribed (prednisone, Methotrexate, etc.) but of course the psoriasis always came back after "treatment". Then about a year ago I read the book "Eat right for Your Type" and I am a changed person. My skin is clearer than it has ever been. I went to a naturopath and found out I was allergic to tons of stuff including chlorine, so I have placed a filter on my shower and on my kitchen sink and this has helped considerably. I recommend you put a filter on you bath tub too. Please read up on Eat right 4 your type, it has really changed my life !! Note: Methotrexate causes liver failure, so please be careful anyone whom is on it. A liver biopsy is not my idea of a good time. Best of luck to everyone !!! Angela

    Water Fluoridation Alert!
    Respected Medical Professionals and Scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health. For over 50 years, the U.S. government and media have trumpeted fluoride as a safe and effective means of reducing cavities, especially in children. But fluoride is not the benevolent and innocuous substance the public has been led to believe.

    "I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association

    "Fluoridation ... it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has."Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), Discoverer of streptomycin & Nobel Prize Winner

    98% Of Western Europe Has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. The predominant reason for Europe's rejection is the belief that public drinking water is NOT the appropriate vehicle with which to deliver medication to a population. India, and Japan have either rejected or banned its use in recent years. learn more about the health disasters caused by fluoride

    Don't Drink The Water (without reading this book) The essential Guide to Our Contaminated Drinking Water and What You Can Do About It by Lono Kahuna Kupua A'O

    "I just got finished reading this book in between classes, and all I can say is WOW! Be aware, and beware of your tap water. If these statistics are correct, then the EPA and the U.S. government are not concerned with protecting your right to clean water, and therefore, you must educate yourself in order to protect against degenerative disease." Amazon's Reviewer: J.P. Autotte, D.C. from Livermore, CA USA:
     
     

    Water : The Shocking Truth That Can Save Your Life by Paul C. Bragg, Patricia Bragg

    I find that this book enlightened me to what really happens to the water we drink, and why we shouldn't be drinking it. Anyone who is concerned about their health and that of their loved ones should read and reread this book. It took me a little over a day to read this wonderful inspirational book. It made me question why chemicals are being put in our water and write to my representatives (congress, president,and vice president) to urge them to mandate laws against putting poisonus matter in our water. I took the info in this book and did some addtional research. The words they say are true. You won't be disappointed." Amazon Reviewer: msorganic@yahoo.com from Detroit, MI USA
     

    The Water We Drink : Water Quality and Its Effects on Health by Joshua I. Barzilay, Winkler, M.D. Weinberg, 

    The emphasis in the purification of drinking water has shifted from avoidance of infectious diseases to avoidance of chemical pollution. Barzilay and his colleagues give a brief history of the subject and then look at the methods, regulations, and science behind the current U.S. water supply. Their book is an attempt to give consumers the information they need about how the water purification system works, what problems it has, and where additional research is needed to clarify or dispose of those problems; accordingly, they cite relevant Web sites in the text so that readers can pursue particular subjects. The problems include antibiotics from farm runoff, dangerous because they can help raise the resistance of disease-causing bacteria, and chlorine, whose possible dangers need to be further researched and discovered. The authors even underline the faddishness of bottled drinking water. Appended tables of government-regulated and unregulated contaminant levels, of cancer-causing contaminants, and of mineral content in various bottled waters add further value to the informative, readable book.

    In the past ten years, three giant global corporations have quietly assumed control over the water supplied to almost 300 million people in every continent of the world.

    Food First Releases a New Report on the Privatization of Public Water Supplies
    As Water Scarcity Rises Throughout the World, Pressure Mounts for Corporate Control of Water Supply.  The report argues convincingly that economic globalization is largely to blame for this water crisis. While transnational corporations over-exploit water resources as they expand industrial and agricultural capacity, they pollute the water table through pollution or overuse. Meanwhile developing countries --- under onerous lending requirements enforced by the World Bank --- have had to aggressively export their way out of debt, devastating watersheds and placing water supplies in danger.

    "Water as a fundamental right is guaranteed in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Under the current system of market-driven economic globalization, there are no limits placed on where capital can go to 'harvest' nature. Both the WTO and NAFTA consider water to be a tradeable good, subject to the same rules as any other good to be managed by market forces- like any other commodity. 'Blue Gold' will become the hot commodity of the future and those who can't afford it will be left behind. Huge  corporate factories are moving up the rivers of the Third World, sucking them dry as they go. Eighty percent of China's major rivers are now so degraded, they no longer support fish. We must declare that water is a public trust to be guarded at all levels of government. No one has the right to appropriate it at another's expense for profit"   Excerpts from Food First, Institute for Food & Development Policy - summer 2001 volume 7 - # 3: learn more
