"You are not ill, you are thirsty"
This was coined by a doctor in prison with hundreds of political prisoners, most of them were ill. As a doctor, he saw it was his duty to treat them but couldn't get any medicine. Out of the blue the idea of water, as medicine, came to him. He advised all prisoners, ill or not, to drink a lot of water. After that soon every one recovered and the rest felt a lot healthier.
So what was the secret? The prisoners were not ill the way we know, but their immune system gone very weak because their body was dehydrated. This is because our immune system uses a lot of water every second in our life time to immunise our body against diseases. After prisoners drank a lot of water, their immune system recovered and cured each ill prisoner and made the rest healthier.
Rules to use water to keep your body always fully hydrated:
- Never wait to become thirsty to drink water. Keep your body always hydrated. When you become thirsty, your immune system also becomes thirsty and very weak at the same time. It is at this moment diseases can overcome our immune system.
- Drink around 0.035 litre of water per each kilograms weight of your body daily at regular times. I am 60.00Kg in weight and drink 60 x 0.035 = 2.00 litres daily at 4 regular intervals, early morning before my breakfast, around 10.00am, 3.00pm and 9.00pm. Each time I drink 2./4 = 0.50 litre of water each time.
- Drink your water at least half hour before your meals and at least two hours after your meals.
- Warm up your water before drink it. Each temperature rise of your drinking water, above your temperature, strengthens your immune system by 30%.
