The signs of severe, long-term dehydration are mistakenly seen as symptoms of disease. Water is the primary substance in every routine event that takes place in the human body. And the role of water should be the first thing that healthcare providers consider, when a body that is 70% water falls ill. Before assuming that conditions have been caused by illness, water metabolism disturbance should be narrowed out first. Hocam’s razor, right? The simplest solution is usually true. And the truth is that long-term chronic dehydration causes disease.In fact even most chronic pain has been proven a signal of localized water shortage in the body. Each persons body has one hundred trillion trillion water molecules. That’s one with 26 0s behind it. In perspective, if you take a meter stick and place it end to end and you do that one hundred trillion trillion times, it would span the length of the universe. That’s how much water is in your body. But instead of hydrating these aquatic bodies, western medicine treats thirst with medication. But ask any indigenous wisdom keeper and they will tell you that water is our natural medicine.When we are dehydrated it causes stress in the body. That stress establishes a dominant physiology for the crisis management of water. So the body starts ration its water reserves, using the limited water it has for immediate needs, prioritizing the brain, and immediate survival functions. It also releases water management regulators, like histamines and prostaglandins, which both cause inflammation. And as water is rationed away from less essential areas, those areas stop functioning as well.And when the blood is more viscous, or thicker, because it’s less hydrated, every single protein and enzyme becomes less efficient. Proteins and enzymes are the bricks and catalysts of everything your body does. And if they don’t have enough water to function, again, it manifests as a host of other random symptoms.Not to mention, your body can’t detoxify without enough water to carry out waste. We live in a toxic modern world with a constant barrage of foreign substances in our air and food supply. If we don’t allow our bodies to rinse out with water, these stagnate in lymph and tissues.When any system of your body isn’t functioning properly, it gets diagnosed and treated. But the body is a sophisticated system of thirst signals, which we mistake for indications of illness. (I recommend the book "You're not sick, you're thirsty - stop treating thirst with medication" by Dr. Batmanghelidj, you can find it in the "bookstore" section under the "learn" tab on www.waterislife.shop ) Medical practitioners have been taught to silence these signals with chemical products. Since the onset of research into the human body, water was assumed to just be solvent, a space filler, packing material, basically chemically insignificant. But the latest research is flipping that paradigm on it’s head. The research of Dr. Batmanghelidj and others has directly traced everything from dyspeptic pain to hiatal hernia‘s, lower back pain, headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, angina, stress and depression, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, excess body weight, asthma and allergies, diabetes, osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction and more to the biochemical adjustments that the body has to make when it rations limited water.Because hydration is the only way of making sure that not only enough water, but everything it transports (hormones, chemical messengers, vitamins, minerals, etc.) reach the vital organs, so if you’re not getting good intracellular hydration, you’re not absorbing any nutrients you eat, either. I don’t care how gluten free farm raised organic or expensive your food is - if you’re not well hydrated, your body won’t be able to utilize those nutrients.
