Your Body's Many Cries...

For 20 years, I have been treating patients with the tools, skills, experience and knowledge that I have accumulated. I spent 14 years in medical schools and colleges, had attended innumerable conferences, lectures and workshops; and with all that I know, I have been able to make the professional assessment, that for healing the body, no other substance comes close to that of healing water - particularly ionized, alkaline water.

In today’s society, it is unfortunate, but true that very little can be found that is in its pure, unaltered state. Toxic additives and pesticides are profuse in what should not even be allowed to be called food, but are indeed animal processed consumables. The same could be said of prescription medicines. Even the vast majority of the supplements that are available over the counter in drug stores, online, in supermarkets and even in health food stores are often laced with fillers, additives and residues which then need to flushed out of the body.

In 1923, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the real cause of cancer, and received the Nobel Prize for doing so in 1931. Dr. Warburg was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm institute (now the Max Planck Institute) for cell physiology in Berlin. He investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells.

“Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline.Water splits into H positive and OH negative ions; if there is an excess of H, the cell is acidic, If there is an excess of OH, then the cell is alkaline.”

In his work “The Metabolism of Tumors”, he demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Lack of oxygen and acidosis are conditions that co-exist. Where there is one, there is the other.

“All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen - a rule without exception”,according to Warburg’s research.

Deprivation to a cell of 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours results in cellular death and will become cancerous or diseased in the body.

Dr. Warburg, in 1923, made it clear that the prime cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency and acidity brought about by toxemia. He discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.

While our country spends billions of dollars annually on research, attempting to develop costly pharmaceutical medicines to reverse the diseases and side effects caused largely by chemicals and drug residues in our water, on our crops and from the use of other pharmaceutical medicines, I as a Naturopathic Physician, assist my patients in learning how to utilize pure food, pure water and a model of understanding that drugs don’t heal, doctors don’t heal, it is the body that heals itself when given proper guidance and TLC.

Our bodies are 75% water, our brains are 85%. Maintaining that percentage is absolutely essential for proper functioning of the brain. This is the body’s #1 priority since the nervous system directly or indirectly controls every cell of the human body.

When the sensors in the brain detect a hydration deficiency, an amazing cascade of events begins which will often be interpreted as disease rather than a cry from the body for water.

For instance, during digestion, the body secretes hydrochloric acid which will eat away at the stomach tissue if a protective alkaline mouous film is not laid down on the stomach lining. If the body is dehydrated at this exact point in the digestion process, water that should be used in protecting the stomach is shunted to the brain to maintain the 85% level of hydration. The result is inflammation and heartburn and potentally ulcer in its extended form.

In 1979, Dr. Batmanghelidj, a medical doctor was imprisoned for his political ties against the Iranian Khomeini revolution. While there, he was given the responsibility to care for the inmates who were facing trial and possible execution. Needless to say there was stress and sickness among the inmates, and when they would go to Dr. Batmanghelidj, because he had no other medicine with which to treat these patients, he would tell them “go drink several glasses of water and then come back in two hours”.

Time and time again, he noticed how the symptoms of the inmates seemed to diminish after simply drinking water and resolved that many of these conditions seemed to be associated with the lack of water or dehydration. Dr. Batmanghelidj concluded that “the primary benefit of many medications is the water the patient has to drink to take them!"

I’m sure that you can understand why political medicine is not anxious to endorse these concepts despite their simplicity, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.

In our country today, our tap water is chemically treated to compensate for toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum. If you look at a local water report, you may see up to 3 parts per million allowable feces to be in our drinking water. Residues of pharmaceutical medicines from chemical plants are also showing up in our tap water.
