 By: Ron Kosloff It is a fact that 95% of all people in the U.S. are dehydrated. As you age, you literally begin to dry out. A person could eliminate 50% of all diseases by just being hydrated and drinking enough water throughout the day. It's a little known fact that water and minerals work together as a team. Add essential fats and you have a fantastic combination for your body's hydration. When you stop to think about it, water constitutes 65% to 70% of the human body. A person can abstain from food for months, but can only last a couple of days without water (and only 6 minutes without oxygen)!
The following list explains the many detrimental things that can happen to your body if you don't ingest enough water:
All natural foods are electrical and all of the processed and refined foods are dead foods because the minerals have been removed during processing. To further explain, when we look at history we see that the most knowledgeable people concerning nutrition were the Orientals. 5000 years ago they knew that the earth was encircled by meridian lines (electricity). They also knew that all natural food was electrical and they taught that one must have minerals and essential fats to absorb water from food. They didn't walk around drinking a water bottle all day! Natural teas were, and still are, a large part of their daily regimen, which they drink throughout the day. They just didn't drink plain water. Of course, the water that they made their tea with was pure, not like our polluted water today! Their teas contained minerals, which, I must say, are referred to as electrolytes. Remember, your heart, brain and body function and beat by electricity! Many books have been written about water and I recall one talk show on television featuring a writer talking about drinking 8 to 10 glasses per day but saying that he had no idea of how it got started or its origin. I'd like to know where the research is! A good idea is to always carry some water with you in your car and add to it 5% to 10% of any good natural juice or herb tea to get your minerals and to be electrical. Remember, all purified water today, if it's purified by ozoneation, reverse osmosis, etc., is devoid of most minerals.
Stay away from soda pop, an almost lethal poison. Listed below are several reasons why:
Dr. Kurt Donsbach, who is one of my teachers on my trek through nutrition, is a great chiropractor, homeopathic and holistic doctor in California and he shared with me, many years ago, that half of the heart attacks and cancers in America are caused by our drinking water. Drinking water contains toxic levels of chlorine and fluoride. Chlorine attacks organic matter. What are you made of? Organic matter. Our drinking water is so polluted, it's scary. Dioxins, E.coli, PCBs, DDT, human waste, trihelamethanes, just to name a few, are in our drinking water. Then add to that the conglomeration of our industrial pollutants. It's a fact that all of our oceans are polluted today. When PCBs and dioxins are found in the fat cells of walruses in Antarctica and the South Pole, we must realize that the whole world is now polluted. Our lakes are polluted and are loaded with Methyl Mercury, which is a very toxic poison, so it's not very funny that they put it in your teeth fillings. The American Dental Association continues to tell us that this is not true, but metal poisoning, we now know, causes diseases. The main reason that chlorine is added to our drinking water is to kill bacteria and it ends up killing us! In Europe, they never use chlorine, they use oxygen purification and deionization or they use ozone purification. Some years back, a myth was created that adding fluoride to the water would prevent tooth decay. Fluoride is a toxic chemical that is painted on children's teeth, and, among other things, is responsible for causing cancer. The man who heavily promoted fluoride when it became law, Dr. Faulkes, passed away a few years ago. On his deathbed, he expressed great regret and said that he was sorry he ever told people to use fluoride. Both he and Dr. Hardy Limeback from Canada had been significant promoters of fluoride and have both issued apologies concerning their support of fluoride. They stated that they did not accurately check the opposing scientific date before speaking out of behalf of fluoride. They were just not properly informed. So why do we use it?
When aluminum is produced, the by-product is tremendous amounts of synthetic fluoride. Since chemical and aluminum companies were spending thousands of dollars to dispose of it, why not market it to municipalities to put in the water? So, they ended up selling a poison, and at a profit. I was born with a low thyroid function and I spent a lot of time swimming at the local high school with a pool that was loaded with chlorine. This lowered my thyroid function even more. If it weren't for nutritional doctors, supplementation, glandular therapy and purging heavy metals from my body, I probably would have had to have my thyroid removed. Never take synthetic hormones for your thyroid! When you do this, it displaces the natural nutrients that nourish the thyroid, for example: tyrosine, Vitamin E, essential fatty acids, protein, and manganese. Synthetic hormones actually destroy the thyroid. Chlorine and fluoride are called halogens and act as synthetic hormones. Iodine is the number one nutrient for your thyroid. What halogens do is displace iodine in your thyroid and push it out and then mimic it in your thyroid. Therefore, you end up with chlorine and fluoride deposits in your thyroid and you can become very unhealthy. I am affiliated with a clinic here in Michigan and the Naturopathic doctor there says that people routinely come to him with poor thyroid function. My friend, Dr. David Jantz, using CRA, will diagnose their health issue as poor thyroid and they'll say, "No, I went to a medical doctor and he did a blood test and my hormone levels are normal." That's due to the fact that chlorine and fluoride have displaced the hormones and they're floating around in your blood stream so the medical doctor and the chemist will read that your levels are appropriate when, in fact, the hormones are not in the thyroid to do the job that they were meant to do. Look around at the obesity and the hair loss and the problems we're having today with low thyroid function.
The question becomes, what should we drink? Never drink distilled water. Distilled water is cooked water, it's depolarized and all the minerals are removed. So when you drink distilled water, it acts as a vacuum and, while it will pull out toxins, it will pull out everything good too. Drink good reverse osmosis water or deionized water or good spring water that's tested as pollutant free. You should add either colloidal minerals or Celtic sea salt to your regimen everyday. As I mentioned before, our soil is depleted of half the minerals. There are 92 minerals in the world, micro, macro, trace, and rare earth, and they are gone due to factory farming, so you have to put minerals back into your own body. Mineral depletion in the United States is paramount. Everyone suffers from a lack of minerals. The people that don't are the people that supplement. Remember that in 1936 the government told us that we were missing over 22 minerals in our soil; today it's over 45. You must take a complete mineral like colloidals or Celtic Sea Salt. People ask me how much water to drink daily. Ah, that is the question of the day, which you and only you might answer. A decent rule of thumb is that you should drink when you are thirsty, how's that? The same goes for food, eat when you are hungry. Your body is extremely smart isn't it? When you do drink, just sip small amounts throughout the day, between meals, of course. Don't drink large amounts at one time or you will just urinate it out, like big beer drinkers do. Overhydrating is extremely taxing on your body. If you participate in sports, your perspiration and mineral loss will dictate the amount, but sip it slowly. A decent, accurate test for dehydration is when you take the thumb and index finger of one hand and you pinch a portion of the skin on the top of your other hand, pull up and then let go. If the skin snaps back to a flat position, you are well hydrated. If your skin is very slow to return to a flat position, you are dehydrated. Always remember how important your thyroid is and have a holistic doctor check it! If you wake in the middle of the night, drink a small amount (8 oz) of good, healthy water. Remember to consume water throughout the day. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.
When you are in the hospital for dehydration, you are given minerals and water for hydration, but you aren't told that. Some medical doctors will tell you that, if you are dehydrated, you should drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, but they don't tell you to take macro and micro minerals. We now know that if you don't have the 92 minerals found in the world, you won't have hydration of the tissue. Minerals are what allow your body to become and maintain hydration. Here are some dehydrators to avoid:
