Chronic dehydration of your lawn will, of course, cause your grass to die. It's basic cause and effect. When it comes to taking care of your lawn, it's also common sense. Everybody knows this. But once again, when human beings suffer chronic dehydration, and express the obvious symptoms of that, such as asthma, constipation, back pain, weakened immune systems and so on, there is a great sense of denial that lack of water or chronic dehydration has anything to do with it.

Regular consumption of such beverages results in chronic dehydration, which plays a part in every toxicity crisis. There is no practical or rational reason to treat an illness (toxicity crisis) with synthetic drugs or even with natural medications and methods unless the body's need for hydration has been met first. Drugs and other forms of medical intervention can be dangerous for the human physiology largely because of their strongly dehydrating effects. Most patients nowadays are suffering from "thirst disease," a progressive condition of dehydration.

There's another fascinating point on chronic dehydration and weight loss that's worth mentioning here, too: many people who are attempting to lose weight end up in a state of chronic dehydration because they don't want to drink water for fear that it will add "water weight" to their bodies. They actually impair their body's ability to metabolize fat because they're afraid to drink enough water on a regular basis. In reality, being fully hydrated is a prerequisite to weight loss. If you want to lose weight, you have to give your body enough water so that it's no longer in a state of emergency.

I will even say that you cannot possibly engage in effective intention exercises when you're in a state of chronic dehydration (as most people are). Drinking plenty of water clears metabolic wastes from your body and even lubricates the nerve cells throughout your body! So drink more water and you'll boost your results.

But once again, when human beings suffer chronic dehydration, and express the obvious symptoms of that, such as asthma, constipation, back pain, weakened immune systems and so on, there is a great sense of denial that lack of water or chronic dehydration has anything to do with it. So this is another case in which we see a disparity between the nutritional understanding of lawns and plants versus human beings.

In many cases, the body's blood vessel walls, liver bile ducts, lymphatic ducts, kidneys, intestinal tract, and other organs of elimination are so congested that chronic dehydration becomes inevitable. To restore health, the body needs to be cleansed and nourished properly, which is the main theme of this book. Most people have no real understanding of what pain is. They rarely perceive it to be an important part of the body's healing efforts. Pain is always a sign of resistance to what moves or flows naturally.

Many of the kidney transplants performed today are a result of chronic dehydration, which is caused by something as simple as not drinking enough water, consumption of alcohol, eating foods high in animal protein, or overstimulation of the nervous system. The Caffeine and Alcohol Drama The caffeine contained in such beverages as tea, coffee, soft drinks and most power drinks, not only stimulates and stresses both the central nervous and immune systems, but also acts as a powerful diuretic.

Also, chronic dehydration is a more and more common problem for modern people who are rushing around between working, taking the kids to school, talking on the cell phone, and so forth, while keeping themselves going with caffeinated drinks that are diuretics and deplete the body of its water even more. chronic dehydration can promote acidity in the body, too. Certain toxins in our bodies promote acidity, chronic infections can promote acidity, and even allergic reactions to foods can promote acidity.

It's common sense that every organism needs plenty of fresh water or it's going to immediately start to suffer the consequences of chronic dehydration. It's common sense that every biological system needs vitamins and minerals and even natural sunlight in order to be healthy. It's also common sense that if you start depriving these organisms of good nutrition, or feeding them calories that are nutritionally depleted, such as those found in white rice and other refined grains, then you will promote nutritional deficiencies that ultimately lead to chronic disease.

The fact is that most people live their lives in a state of chronic dehydration, and they end up treating the symptoms of that dehydration with prescription drugs or even radical surgery. Almost 54 percent of readers also reported boosting their consumption of omega-3 oils. Again, this is simply the result of awareness. When people are aware of the healing benefits of omega-3 oils, they naturally and automatically want to increase their consumption of them.

Since chronic dehydration can lead to the misdiagnosis of many different diseases, including arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure and so on, I'm very happy to see that water consumption is on the rise. I don't know if people are just drinking more water than they used to or if they are switching drinks from, for example, soft drinks to water or milk to water, but as long as people's water consumption goes up, then we are going to see some health benefits across the population.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is often caused by chronic dehydration. In fact, in one of the interviews I conducted with Dr. Batmanghelidj, he explains the mechanism by which this takes place. Essentially when the body is lacking water, it attempts to hold on to the available water supplies by resorting to vascular constriction throughout the body. This helps reduce the loss of water through the skin and through respiration. And by doing so, it helps conserve the remaining water in the body. So if you want to avoid this response to dehydration, just drink a lot of water.

And the way your immune system fails is if you don't give it the tools it needs: if you're suffering from nutritional deficiencies or chronic dehydration, for example. It could also mean that you are poisoning your body with cancer-causing substances such as sodium nitrite or chemical sweeteners, artificial colors, refined carbohydrates and environmental toxins such as the toxic chemicals found around your home. Common antibacterial soaps, for example, contain a chemical ingredient known as triclosan that, when combined with chlorine in tap water, generates highly carcinogenic fumes.

If you are experiencing chronic dehydration from not drinking enough water, or from drinking water-depleting drinks such as coffee, beer or beverages containing sugar, your body tries to prevent respiratory water loss by producing histamines which close off the capillaries in your lungs. Through the constriction of these capillaries, water loss is reduced, but of course breathing is made far more difficult. It's important to understand that the body is doing this on purpose. The body is producing histamines as a strategy, not as a disease or something gone awry.

All caffeinated drinks, whether they are sodas or coffee or tea, can actually contribute to chronic dehydration. Good, clean water is much more important to drink than many people realize. None of the cells of the body works at optimum functioning levels if they are chronically dehydrated, and some experts believe chronic dehydration can contribute to cancer by causing cell damage. So, the common modern way of eating and drinking is full of nutritional deficiencies and, at the same time, complicated with an overabundance of harmful substances.

Also, chronic dehydration is a more and more common problem for modern people who are rushing around between working, taking the kids to school, talking on the cell phone, and so forth, while keeping themselves going with caffeinated drinks that are diuretics and deplete the body of its water even more. chronic dehydration can promote acidity in the body, too. Certain toxins in our bodies promote acidity, chronic infections can promote acidity, and even allergic reactions to foods can promote acidity.

They haven't lost any body fat at all but they have managed to put themselves in a state of chronic dehydration that will inevitably lead to weight gain once they return to normal habits of eating and drinking. Getting back to Dr. B, it's curious to note that he's a conventionally trained medical doctor, and yet, like so many of the doctors I interview on this site, he has the calling of a true scientist. He has the willingness to venture beyond modern medicine and explore the true causes of health and disease.

When the body is in a state of chronic dehydration, or a state of emergency, it will not let go of fat supplies easily. It wants to hold on to everything it can eat or drink. The only way to convince your body to let go of body fat, and start metabolizing body fat, is to drink a lot of water - enough water so that your body feels safe in letting go of unneeded calories. (Remember: water has zero calories, is low-carb, and has zero grams of fat, so drink up!

In addition, when there is chronic dehydration, our brain begins to depend more on glucose for energy, hence our need for sweet food. This in turn is directly linked to diabetes. But that's just the beginning. Batmanghelidj sees dehydration as being connected to many of our "mystery" medical conditions, from obesity to Alzheimer's to AIDS. He has devoted an entire web site to the therapeutic use of water and the treatment of a wide assortment of degenerative diseases and other important health conditions related to water.

In many cases, high blood pressure is simply a sign of chronic dehydration. The second thing to keep in mind regarding high blood pressure is your blood viscosity. This has been explored elsewhere in this book, but remember that sticky blood takes more pressure to pump through your system. If you're eating a lot of saturated animal fats and hydrogenated oils— and you lack good nutrition—then your blood is going to be stickier, more viscous and more difficult to pump through your arteries. This means that you will have higher blood pressure.

But they are just expressions of deeper, more fundamental imbalances such as simple nutritional deficiencies, excess toxicity, chronic dehydration or a lack of circulation. Correct the underlying imbalances, and the so-called diseases disappear. (The body heals itself.) When a chronically dehydrated person starts drinking plenty of water, for example, his asthma often disappears. When a person suffering from heart disease stops consuming hydrogenated oils, fried foods and processed foods, and replaces it with superfoods and high-density nutrition, his heart disease vanishes.

So you're going to get hypertension and high blood pressure from the salt, plus you'll promote chronic dehydration of your internal organs due to excessive consumption of salt. Then you've got kidney stress, liver stress, uric acid in your blood, suppressed immune system function, impaired oxygen diffusion in lung tissues, and so on. And none of this, by the way, even mentions the additives and preservatives that might be included in the hamburger meat or especially the cheese.

By linking osteoporosis to chronic dehydration and a gradual rise in cholesterol levels of the body, I am sure I will incur the wrath of many of my colleagues who are looking at the condition through solutes-directed research. Be that as it may, the following is my scientific belief and worthy of being exposed. Should my views prevail, the solution to osteoporosis will become simple. It will be a matter of prevention, nine-tenths of any sensible cure. To expose the relationship between osteoporosis and dehydration, we need to understand how bone formation takes place in the human body.

Gradually establishing chronic dehydration produces constant changes, initially in the physiology and eventually in the chemistry of the body. The body begins to survive on the constant verge of failure. The histamine-operated centers of the brain seem to recognize the levels of water that enter the body. If sufficient water enters the body, the active histamine centers gradually become disengaged from their full-time responsibility as water regulators.

Understanding chronic dehydration will clear the way for the development of an infinitely more people-friendly health-care system. It will be possible in my estimation to have a decidedly healthier and productive nation at 30 percent of the present health-care costs. As you see, I am not promoting a moneymaking product. I am only sharing a unique medical insight and the outcome of my many years of research that will help medical professionals and the public understand the basic cause of so many conditions of ill health.

Silencing the different signal systems of water shortage in the body with chemical products can be immediately detrimental to the patient's body cells, including the genetic apparatus. chronic dehydration can have a permanently damaging impact on a person's descendants. While the human body is entirely dependent on the many complicated functions of water for its survival, it has not developed a water-storage system in the same way it stores fat.
