Yesterday I was supposed to have lunch with my friend Margaret, but in the morning she called to say that she wouldn't be able to walk to the restaurant where we were supposed to meet. The arthritis in her foot had flared up and made walking too painful.

I told Margaret that I used to have very bad arthritis in my hands, but that it had disappeared for many years. I asked her, "Would you like to hear what I did that helped my arthritis go away?" Of course Margaret was very interested in finding out what I had done to help my arthritis.

I told her that a few years ago I had come across a strange little book titled "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" It was written by a medical doctor named Fereydoon Batmanghelidj.

Dr. Batmanghelidj had been a medical doctor living in Iran when he was arrested by the government and thrown into jail on trumped up political charges. He was scheduled to be executed.

One night a prisoner in the same jail was brought to him for treatment. This prisoner was suffering terribly from an acute ulcer, and Dr. Batmanghelidj had nothing to give the man for his pain except water. To his great surprise, after giving this man a few glasses of water, the pain went away.

Over the course of treating other prisoners with nothing but glasses of water, Dr. Batmanghelidj found that he was able to help many serious conditions using water as therapy. When he was eventually released from prison, he conducted many experiments and found that many conditions improved with this simple treatment.

Dr. Batmanghelidj came to believe that almost all bodily ailments, no matter where and how they manifest in the body, are usually caused by our body cells being chronically dehydrated. And he believed that the cure for almost all illness or pain in the body is simply to get our cells properly hydrated again.

Among the many ailments that Dr. Batmanghelidj believes are really a result of the body being dehydrated are such varied conditions as allergies, asthma, lupus, arthritis, back pain, ulcers, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

At the time I read this book, I had arthritis in my fingers so bad that I could not hold a cup in my hands, or turn a door knob. I often had very little energy.

Within a few weeks of trying Dr. Batmanghelidj's recommendations, my arthritis went away.

Now whenever I get a few twinges, I simply step up my water intake, and the pain disappears in a couple of days. I have more energy now than I had twenty years ago, and I haven't really changed anything except my water intake.

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, only water counts as a hydrating beverage. Other drinks such as juices, milk, coffee, and soft drinks do not have this miraculous ability to reverse disease.

Dr. Batmanghelidj has developed a formula to figure out how much water a person should be drinking each day. According to him, each day, a person should drink one fluid ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight.

Here is a quick summary of his proposed schedule:

- About two glasses of water taken upon waking.

- Then, one to two glasses of water taken half an hour before meals.

- A glass of water two and a half hours after a meal.

- Other glasses of water as needed.

Dr. Batmanghelidj also recommends adding a pinch of unrefined sea salt to each glass of water to help the body cells absorb the liquid.

Not all people agree with Dr. Batmanghelidj's recommendations, especially not all other medical doctors. Some people think he is a medical quack.

However, he does have many supporters, including people who had been suffering terribly from many conditions for years, and found that this simple change in their lifestyle often produced a cure.

It is very fascinating to read the letters to Dr. Batmanghelidj from people who say that following his regimen helped cure them of all sorts of longstanding medical problems.

Whenever I come across people who suffer from a variety of aches and pains, I always make a point of asking them whether or not they drink water regularly.

So far, most of the people I've encountered who have a lot of physical problems, also tell me that they drink very little water. Instead, many of them subsist on a diet of colas and coffee. I always tell them about the work of Dr. Batmanghelidj, and suggest they try to drink more water according to his method.

The book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" is available at various on-line sellers, as well as in some bookstores. The book is somewhat hard to read because Dr. Batmanghelidj is not very skilled in writing in English, and he uses a lot of medical terminology, so it can be difficult for a lay person to understand some of it.

If you wish to try Dr. Batmanghelidj's recommendations, please keep in mind that he says that it takes many months for the bodys cells to become dehydrated to the point of illness, and it can take months for the cells to become properly hydrated again.
