Your Body's Many Cries for Water: A Preventive and Self-Education Manual for Those Who Prefer to Adhere to the Logic of the Natural and the Simple in [Paperback]

As a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, the author, a medical doctor, believes that he has found chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches, hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and diabetes in the elderly.

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the body possesses many different thirst signals. A dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of your body's water needs. He describes a variety of more reliable ones, and helps you learn to understand when your body is calling for water. In this way, he claims you can prevent, treat, and cure a variety of conditions of ill health, at no cost, with what he calls nature's miracle medicine: Water. The author explains how much water one needs to drink a day to stay healthy, and why tea, coffee, and sodas are not good substitutes for water.

Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj was born in Iran in 1931. He attended school in Scotland, and received his medical training at London University's St. Mary's Hospital Medical School. Upon completion of his studies, he had the privilege of being selected as a house doctor in his own medical school. Dr. Batmanghelidj practiced medicine in England before returning to Iran where he helped develop hospitals and health centers.

When the revolutions broke out in 1979, Dr. Batmanghelidj, as a member of a prominent family, was thrown in jail. While serving as a political prisoner in Evin prison, he discovered the healing power of water.

One night, Dr. Batmanghelidj had to treat a fellow prisoner who was suffering severe peptic ulcer pain. With no conventional medication at his disposal, Dr. Batmanghelidj gave the man, who was crippled with pain, two glasses of water. Within eight minutes, his pain disappeared. He was instructed to drink two glasses of water every three hours, and he became absolutely pain-free for the four remaining months he was in prison. Without using any medication, he was cured.

During the 31 months of his imprisonment, Dr. Batmanghelidj treated more than 3,000 peptic ulcer sufferers with water alone. He conducted extensive research during his prison stay into the medicinal effects of water, and discovered water could prevent, relieve and cure many painful degenerative diseases. He found Evin prison an "ideal stress laboratory," and chose to stay an extra four months in prison to complete his research into the relationship of dehydration, stress, and disease, despite being offered an early release. A report of his findings was smuggled out of Iran and became the editorial article in the June 1983 issue of the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, and was reported on by the New York Times Science section.

After his release from prison in 1982, Dr. Batmanghelidj escaped from Iran and came to America, where he continues his research into the role of water in the human body and the damaging effects of dehydration on human health. His studies show that, if we maintain a healthy lifestyle of drinking plenty of water on a regular basis, we will be able to enjoy good health and avoid diseases and painful conditions that require pharmaceutical drugs and expensive medical procedures.

Dr. Batmanghelidj now dedicates his time promoting public awareness of the healing power of water. His book Your Body's Many Cries for Water, has helped hundreds of thousands of people live happier, healther, lives.
