Dr F Batmanghedlidj has written numerous books on the benefits of drinking the correct type of water to the overall wellbeing of our bodies. In his book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water: You are Not Sick, You are Thirsty! he tells the story of a man, John Fox, who suffered from severe hypertension. He was so bad, that after 6 months of intensive treatment with prescribed drugs, he was worse than when he started and he was getting no answers. He decided to take matters into his own hands and out of the hands of "traditional" medicine.

He embarked on a rehabilitation program where he used diet and water as the core of his rehabilitation. He began by drinking six to eight 8 ounce glasses of water each day for 3 days. He also started taking water half an hour before each meal. Very quickly - and it was just days -  he started to notice the difference. Before long he started to eliminate  his anti-cholesterol pills, aspirin and nitroglycerine pills. Can you imagine how good he was feeling without all these chemicals flowing through his body? For John it was truly incredible - particularly after all the "treatment" he was getting in hospitals only succeeded in making him feel worse! All this progress from a regime set out by Dr Batmanghelidj.

Hi program combined his increased water intake with a good diet and two one hour walks per day. Building up his exercise program he started to enjoy additional energy. However, the greatest joy came after 6 months. The tests showed that John's heart had restored to its normal state and needed no further medication to cope with daily living. He was over the moon!!

The message here is clear. Next to air, water is the most critical element to life itself and is paramount to the effective performance of all our organs.

The message in the book is clear - severe hypertension was reversed sufficiently to make John's life normal again - without medication!!
