When one realizes that the body is primarily made up of water, it is not hard to fully recognize how vital this element is to all of the body’s chemical processes. This is a biological fact from birth to death. In the embryo, water constitutes 90 percent of the body’s weight. In the adult, water makes up 73 percent, discounting fat. As a person gets older, the percentage diminishes even more. In general, it is safe to say that water constitutes anywhere from two-thirds to three-quarters of the human body.
Without this universal medium in which all living biological transactions occur, life is not possible. Among other things, it is the most important cleansing element of the body. The tissues ate bathed, the intestines are purified, the body temperature is regulated, and the body humors are maintained, Other functions, too numerous to mention, are dependent on bodily water. Obviously, water intake is of the utmost importance in internal cleansing, Our water intake is derived primarily from food, secondarily from beverages, and lastly from oxidation processes such as fat burning, which produce a lesser amount of water but are nonetheless a major source.
To repeat: The recommended daily intake of water is six to eight glasses, in addition to all other liquids consumed. Water should be drunk before and after meals, which will not only ensure proper digestion, but will alse help flush the kidneys, thereby draining accumulations of uric acid. Needless to say, the purer the water, the better it is. Because of all the various chemical additives in city water today, plus the continued pollution of our natural water sources, I recommend a home water-filtering system or any mountain-spring water that is considered to be pure. Distilled water may be used in this regimen primarily as the purest form of water, but it should be taken in limited quantities. Of the six to eight glasses of water recommended daily, distilled water should constitute no more than one ot two glasses. I am still of the belief that distilled water may drain needed vitamins and minerals from the body.
Chronic Disease Caused by Lack of Water
Mike: Let me start this next section by asking you about the correlation between water consumption and chronic disease. There are many diseases you mention in your books that are related to dehydration. I wonder if you can give our readers a brief of what the major diseases are and why they are aggravated or promoted by chronic dehydration.
Dr. B: Certainly, Mike. I have written a book called Water Cures and Drugs Kill. It’s a book that explains why dehydration is the cause of pain and disease, and how the pharmaceutical industry has camouflaged this information or covered it up and instead of letting people drink water, it advertises the use of their products, which actually do kill. Because recent figures have shown that prescription medications, when used according to the instruction of doctors, nonetheless kill over 106,000 people, and make 2 million people sicker than before taking the medication. And then there is another group who die from faulty prescriptions, incorrect prescriptions. So between them, about 250,000 people die from drug-related problems, medication-related problems. This makes the drugs the use of drugs the number three killer processes in the country — protected and licensed killer process. After heart disease, which kills about seven or eight hundred thousand, cancer which kills about 500,000, drugs kill 250,000 people.

Dr. B: Absolutely, and they are useless, because most of the medication they are using is to cover up symptoms and signs and complications of dehydration in the human body. The human body manifests dehydration by a series of symptoms and signs, perceptive symptoms of dehydration — in other words, brain senses dehydration, or tiredness when you haven’t done a good day’s work, or first thing in the morning when you want to get up out of bed and you’re tired, you can’t get up — that is a sign of dehydration. Then anger, quick reaction, depression, these are all signs of dehydration, when the brain has very little energy from hydroelectricity to cope with the information or take action. These are some of the perceptive signs of dehydration. Then the body has its drought management program, which are allergies, hypertension, diabetes, and also immune diseases.
