On the Subject of Hydration

"You’re not sick,
|
This phrase, uttered by Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj (Tehran 1931-Virginia 2004, who when in prison, under dramatic conditions, used water as an effective therapeutic resource to relieve the ailments of his cellmates) has led us to reflect on the importance of hydration.
There is an advertising slogan for blood banks that says: "A drop of blood can save a life".
What if the drop referred to is Water ?
Water is a simple, insignificant element and (apparently), free. It is insipid, colourless and is only comprised of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen, but do you know that it is present in 65% of a person’s body and 90% of his brain?
Perhaps we have not yet realised that Water , or the body’s demand for it, is extremely important..
When we become dehydrated, our bodies react by increasing the production of the neurotransmitter histamine to regulate the quantity of Water available. When there is an excess of histamine in the body (this can easily be observed in a test) it is necessary to drink Water to reduce it. If on the contrary, a person takes anti-histaminic drugs in an uncontrolled manner, in addition to not acting on the cause, this may give rise to very serious side effects.
The belief that when a person is not thirsty, this means that Water intake of that person is fully covered is not always true.
Water serves to dissolve the food we consume and enables the nutritive components to be absorbed correctly by the intestine. The lower the water level, the greater effort the body has to make to ensure the nutrients are effective.
However, those nutrients must also be carried, together with oxygen, to the vital organs in order for them to function properly.
This operation is slowed down when there is insufficient Water and, what is even worse, the nutrients may arrive in such a condition that they cannot be used effectively by the body. Sometimes they are not even metabolised and are eliminated directly without fulfilling their purpose.
To function properly, the body needs to maintain the right level of hydration and temperature, for which reason Water is vital. Furthermore, Water is also necessary for repairing the body tissues.
Moreover, all waste matter must be eliminated and taken to the organs whose function is to excrete them.
Why is it that we do not subconsciously associate a deficit of Water with migraines, allergies, constipation, excess weight, depressions etc.?
On the other hand, Water contains substances that enrich it and are vital for our bodies to function correctly.
Our skin is also thirsty. We should not forget that this is the largest organ in the body and that it protects the body from dehydration and regulates its temperature. But our skin also stores nutrients and retains waste from metabolic processes. If our bodies do not function properly, our skin will contain impurities and lose its terseness.
Skin acts as a shield, protecting the body from external agents: contamination, ultraviolet solar rays, changes in temperature, stress, lack of sleep, poor eating habits. All these and many more factors contribute to accelerate the skin’s health loss.
Water should not be confused with liquids. Soft drinks, fruit juices, tea, alcohol, etc. are not Water, but liquids.
As a consequence of all the above, insofar as proper hydration is concerned, and as part of the body’s daily Water needs, we recommend drinking 2 glasses of Dialytic Water a day (500 c.c.). This is sufficient to incorporate its benefits as an excellent solvent and cleansing agent that will strengthen and increase hydration of the cells and tissues.
For more than 40 years now, Dialytic Water has also been used to eliminate and/or prevent the formation of crystalline substances in the body (stones, sediments, micro-crystals, etc.) and acts as an extremely effective agent in flushing out impurities.
It is not an aggressive treatment (chemical) but a logical and contrasted one, noninvasive, simple, nonexpensive neither annoying, and of simple use, with the great advantage of not producing indirect effects nor interactions.

Dialytic Water is prepared with SLACKSTONE II® System.
