4 out of 5 stars
Needed this book years ago!!!
Lately I have been gradually changing to a healthier lifestyle and have been learning as much as I can about how the human body works. Done with making these doctors rich for things that can be fixed with natural readily available remedies. Very informative book and interesting reading. I must say that I have tested increasing my daily water intake as mentioned in the book and it has changed my life!

    My reason in calling the book the health bible no. 1 is that it reminds us about the impotence in daily getting enough water (and salt), as we know that (nearly) all existing life is depending on water, and all life originally started in the ocean.

    To me this book has shown up to been, and will continue being, an important book for me to recall. Firstly, I always have known that daily we must take 2 liters of water, but wrongly I thought that most of the content in for example coffee and beer was considered as water. Now after reading the book I have rehabilitated my mistake, and totally changed my daily drinking which most of all was coffee.

    Secondly, and happily, I in the book see that it through decades have been me and not the doctors and the medical firms, which have been correct, in my arguing for daily taking about more than 1 gram of salt. When 65 years ago I was child, then we learned daily to get at least 2 grams of salt. And since then I always have argued that the only problem in taking much salt would be the result in weighting more, by being heavier as the body then would have to contain more water.

    Among other it’s interesting in the book to read about his showing how we as teenagers contain 70% of water in the body, while when being old then it’s only 60%. And then his speculation about if this changing simply is a result of peoples during history having changed the drinking from originally only being water, over to mostly being beer, wine, Coca-Cola, and so on. And in his thinking about how the increase of Alzheimer and cancer has come parallel to decrease in the drinking of pure water.

    The book is important in telling how we in the nerves are containing water - and showing this in good drawings – and that many nerve diseases, as pain, and bad functions can be the result of too little water in the body, and thereby in the nerves.

    And as he argues, the book is intended to brush aside the professional resistance of the AMA and the NIH against his arguing about the importance in the missing water. Actually it’s awful how we daily from the medical firms, in their advertising, from most doctors, and from FMH, are misinformed about nearly anything concerning our health.

    My boyfriend, age 47, had horrible allergies for 15 years, and headaches since childhood. Sinusitis, too. Pills, nasal sprays, antibiotics, you name it, he tried it. He had headaches almost every day and ate excedrin migraine tablets like they were going out of style. He regularly went to a specialist for his sinus problems. Nothing helped, and the last bout of antibiotics made him feel horrible. I got this book, and read the first couple chapters to him out loud. I looked him in the eye and said, "Hon, I don't think you have allergies. I don't think you have a headache problem, and I don't think you have sinus problems! I think you're dehydrated." He started the salt and water and has never looked back, no headaches, no sinus problems, no allergies. We rode almost 800 miles on his motorcycle over Memorial day 3 day weekend, it's late May and there was pollen gallore, NOTHING. NO allergies. He can breathe! He smells the air, and he sleeps at night with a clear nose, and NO MORE SNORING. Yep. People can knock Dr. Batman all they want. We're thrilled. And waiting to see what other changes we find in our bodies as the weeks progress. Fantastic. My boyfriend is no longer suffering as he goes about his work day and also can enjoy life more now. THANK YOU DR BATMAN, may you rest in peace.
    Review & 5 month later update:
    During the whole 5 months we've continued to do the Water Cure, this book worked wonders for us, because we had zero allergies, zero headaches, no more snoring, soft & much more healthy looking skin, supple joints as healthy and limber as in our teens (no more strange feelings in the joints when stretching or doing yoga) no more stiff necks, etc). Digestion is totally optimal. The water cure makes you beautiful, healthy and younger looking too! We love it!

    UPDATE JULY 30, 2015 SECOND YEAR DOING "THE WATER CURE":
    I'm providing my update, that the seasonal allergies my husband had for years never came back. He was fine all spring and now near summer's end, still fine - never takes any allergy meds at all. No sinus issues. No snoring. He still has no headaches. I never had any hay fever this year. I also got pregnant with our first child and making sure to drink plenty of water has been the best thing I could do, my pregnancy has been delightfully easy, I'm 30 weeks already, and have had none of the common issues women get, no constipation, no heartburn, no back pain, no skin problems, no morning sickness, no itchy skin on my belly, nothing - have felt great all through. While I can't guarantee it was the water, I believe it was.
    PS - UPDATE SEPT 26 - I'm now 39 weeks pregnant, at the very tail end of the pregnancy and due any day now. NO problems. I'm 41 and never even had back pain. Nothing, we have enjoyed my easy, comfortable pregnancy! I made sure to drink my quota of water every day. The few times I didn't, due to some extreme circumstance preventing me, I didn't feel as great but a couple of glasses of water revived me. My husband notices that in the rare instance he doesn't drink much water, his head doesn't feel great and in ragweed season, his nose stuffs that day. SO he knows to get back to his water cure and voila! He feels fine again. I give lots of credit to The Water Cure for my blissfully easy pregnancy. I only wish people would believe us when we tell them how wonderful it is. They don't believe us, and they continue to complain about arthritis, and other niggling concerns. We stopped bothering to tell people about it. They believe in arthritis, allergies, etc. They can't believe it could possibly be a lack of water rather than a specific "disease". I get it. It was a lot for us to grasp too. Even after we saw it for ourselves, it was still extraordinary to find that sooo many of the common illnesses and ailments being suffered today are just water deficiencies, and all the crazy pills, treatments and stuff are irrelevant. Many problems can be fixed with a glass of water and a pinch of salt. Who knew?!

    Definitely the best book both my husband and I have read . We felt it was so important that we gave a copy to relatives and friends as gifts. Everyone from age 12-90 should read this book. The importance of water is explained in simple terms . By practicing this simple recommendation of daily water intake, we found an amazing benefit after the first month. We are now on our 8 th month . More energy, better sleep, clearer complexion , less aches and pains , etc. Even weight loss, although that is more likely due to not feeling a need to snack between meals due to being hydrated . Amazing book. Amazing Author. The research for this book was because the author ( an MD ) was imprisoned in Iran for many years, as explained in the "about the author section ". So drink up, after all it's only water. Yet important for all of us rich or poor. Start now , even before you read the book . The equivalent of 4 bottles of water daily, however tap is just as good . Which ever you will drink is the one to focus on . You will be amazed. Please read this book, you life will be changed by understanding the importance of water.

    We all know we should drink more water, but when you can understand exactly why, what your body does with this pure water, and what happens if you don't, you will be making a point to do so. The other main focus of the book is salt. I have been hearing for so many years, salt is bad for you. Now, after reading this book, I make sure I get at least 1/2 tsp salt, everyday. The right kind of salt. (I use pink himalayan.) It is an amazing book, I have tested out some of his theories, and they work. One of the best books I have read.
