[.ca] Water For Health, For Healing, For Life: You're Not ... (ISBN 0446690740)

Reformed water hater says somebody you know needs this book!:
Finally, the what, how, why, & when of our need for water, has been explained so that even I get that it meant me too all along. This is a wonderful book that sufficiently explains the right combination of water and sea salt for me so that it is making a substantial difference in my weight and my energy level and get this - WITHOUT changing ANYTHING about what I eat. (That is what I said!). Let me clarify that - low carb, low schmarb - low fat, low schmat. Even foodies CAN lose weight with this book. People that can't lose, or can't keep it off, and/or the scale creeps up a little more each year, or that can lose some but not all of their excess weight - here's why - AND how to fix that. So many health potentates, so many different misinformed views over the years - "drink water" - no details, just do it lemming!, "you don't need very much water" - lie, "drink X amount no matter what (female, male, 90 lbs, 400 lbs makes no difference)" - untrue, "drink anything you want as long as it's water based (Cola, whiskey seltzer, Cosmotini, milk, diet cola)" - just plain sad. Enough with all the misinformation already. Now I'm informed and in charge of my own health. Newly armed with the info in this book, I feel like I know a fabulous secret that I want to tell everybody I know, which makes me happy because of the weight loss and energy boost, but angry because nobody ever bothered to mention any of this before in quite the right way. I know, probably my fault for not paying attention. Yeah right, how's this for paying attention? The October 2003 Prevention magazine editorial (letter from the Editor) was a whining rationalization of why addictly downing portions of at least a half dozen Diet Cokes cans per day INSTEAD of water was her "health" choice. Which was her arse to elbow way of saying that you'd get no stern health lectures from Prevention. Puhleeze! No kidding. Ignorant people in an aspartame induced fog have no right to give health lectures, stern or otherwise - no matter their credentials. But, that's just my two cents. Point being, there's tons of bad advice out there all passed off as healthful and helpful. Dr. Batmanghelidj cuts through all that and gives you the building blocks you need to create your own solid foundation of health. Many thanks to Dr. Batman - and cheers (with a large tumbler of water)!

We are made of mostly water!:
Dr. Batman.'s advice is very helpful. I read his first book many years ago and found this book to be a well done revision with much new information. I tell my readers about this book as I think it spells out very clearly the health benefits that can be realized from drinking water, not just for weight loss but for all areas of health improvement. To NOT drink the amount of water that Dr. Batman recommends is just plain stupidity! I don't agree with 80% veggies/fruits and 20% proteins.....what about whole grains? But I agree with more fruits and veggies than anything else! Get this book and follow it! Your body will thank you! Julia Havey author of Awaken the Diet Within and LifeChanger

Amazing! Water for acne relief!:
I was recently on a very hectic business trip for a week. During that time I only drank maybe one small glass of water each day, usually just before bedtime. By the end of that week, I had broken out in a really nasty batch of acne. I've been battling adult acne for years. Recently I've been trying to control it with diet. But, still, it wasn't completely under control. When I got back from my trip, the copy of Dr. B's book I ordered had arrived. I always knew water was good for the skin (as well as the entire body) but I wasn't drinking nearly enough of it. I immediately put the "water cure" into practice. By the end of the second week my skin was almost completely clear. I had even lapsed a bit in my dormal diet of mostly fruits and vegetables and had some cheese pizza and soft drinks, which I always thought contributed to my acne. It turns out all I really needed to do was drink more water! And now I'm feeling relief from lower back pain as well! Buy this book!

Simple, stupid. Simple, brilliant:
It makes total sense: keep a constant level of hydration in a machine made of 75 percent water, and the machine runs optimally, eradicating toxins, digesting nutrients, providing energy. But it certainly won't make any money for big-Pharm, Dr. Pill and the food-lite industry, and that's what we're all here for these days isn't it?

BEST BOOK !!!!:
Everyone should own a copy of this book!! If everyone drank the water they should, we wouldn't be feeding as much $$ to the pharmacuetical companies... water is free and our bodies need it for everything!! Very enlightening information... do not hesitate to get this book!! I paid full cover price at Barnes and Nobles (knowing I could get it here cheaper) because I couldn't stop reading it and its worth every penny!! I can feel a big difference and I'm telling everyone about it! It's not fair keeping this kind of knowledge a secret!! And what's more-- every doctor should have a copy in his/her practice and in turn, educate their patients... but since that won't happen, we have to help eachother and educate ourselves... hope this helps.
