HYDRATION - Back
Pain Relief?
Case Scenario: "A woman in her mid fifties,
who suffers from chronic back pain, one night is rushed to the hospital
when her medication just isn’t working anymore. The first course of
action is to hook the patient up to an intravenous IV, which, by the way,
is merely a $400 bottle of water and salt. It takes at least 3 days
to rehydrate the body, so after about three days the patient is feeling
great." I have heard my mom say she was totally pain free after
spending a number of days hooked up to those expense bottles of IV water.
"The patient is feeling great, and the doctors hand them a number of medications
to take home, and might make a comment off to the side to drink plenty
of water with this medication." What does plenty of water really
mean anyway? Medication misuse causes over 100,000 deaths a year
and are the cause for 1/4 of hospital omissions. 1.3 Trillion dollars
were made last year in the medical arena. 400 billion of those dollars
was paid to the government. The government or pharmaceutical companies
are not going to educate you on the benefits of water consumption.
It’s time to take charge of your own health.
Based on Dr. Batmanghelidj’s book “Water: Rx for a Healthier Pain-Free
Life,” dry mouth is not the only sign of dehydration. The first perceptive
signs or feelings will appear with tiredness (when the condition
isn’t followed by intense activity), feeling flushed, feeling
irritable or anxious, followed by feelings of depression, feeling
dejected or inadequate, feeling a “heavy head”, cravings for manufactured
beverages such as coffee, tea, sodas and alcoholic drinks (specifically
if this is your body’s fluid intake norm), and/or agoraphobia - fear and
dread of public places.
Water, he explains, is our main source of energy. Through hydrolysis
water energizes the food we eat aiding in metabolism, digestion, and our
body’s conversion and utilization of energy. Much like if you add
two powder chemicals together in a test tube nothing happens until you add
water to the mix. Water carries the energy needed for conversion.
Water generates electrical and magnetic energy inside each and every cell
of the body, and is the bonding adhesive in the architectural design of
the cell structure; in turn it prevents DNA damage and makes its repair
mechanisms more efficient. Water greatly increases the efficiency
of the immune system. It is the main solvent not only for all food
intake, but for vitamin and mineral absorption, and is used for the transport
of all substances inside the body. Finally, water increases the efficiency
of the red blood cells in collecting oxygen in the lungs.
