I know you already know that you are supposed to drink at least so much water everyday depending on how much you weigh. I don’t think enough people know why they need to drink all that water though.

The bottom line is that water is necessary for just about every process that takes place in the body. It is necessary to keep the skin and mucous membranes soft and effective at keeping out invaders. Water is the medium in which our food is digested, the nutrition transported to the cells, metabolized, and the wastes carried away and eliminated. It is also necessary for neurons to fire and for proper brain function.

I once heard Ted Aloisio speak. He tells people to drink water first, then have you juice, tea, or whatever it is that you want. Ted Aloisio is a nutritional expert and author of Blood Never Lies and Quad 3. None of those other drinks count toward the amount of water that you should drink each day.  Only water counts.

As you know, when you haven’t had enough water you are dehydrated. When you are dehydrated your body does what it can to conserve water for the more vital functions. One of the first victims to dehydration is the skin and mucous linings of the mouth and nose.  You probably know several people with dry skin.

Just 2% dehydration can lead to fuzzy short-term memory. That leads me to believe that the body has turned down the nervous system to save some water. That could also lead to slow response times and poor judgment (like not drinking water).

5% dehydration will give you a slight fever. The body’s temperature regulation system is not functioning like it should. Someone this dehydrated will probably notice that they have stopped sweating.

When you jump up to 10% dehydration you lose the ability to walk. There are probably a lot more things that you can’t do either because the water is not available in the muscles for the chemical reactions that cause them to contract.

The rest of the body’s functions shut down by the time it reaches 12% dehydration, which is fatal.

Here’s an idea that might help you to get more water. Most of us are so chronically dehydrated that we have forgotten how to distinguish between thirst and hunger, which has contributed to the rampant obesity that we see in our society. So, the next time you feel hungry (especially if you are trying to lose weight) get a good drink of water first and see if that helps. You will eat less food and give your body the water it needs to metabolize and eliminate the fat.

So go get a drink of water right now while you’re thinking about it.

Check out my free report about water filtration

CBS recently had a news segment about Dr. Weintraub‘s study showing that diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy are receiving significant benefits from using magnets.  They say that some patients, in addition to some easing of the pain and numbness that is a part of peripheral neuropathy, are also showing signs that the nerve fibers are actually regenerating.  That is great news and could lead into some significant studies to see if magnets could help with spinal cord repair.

Check out the video and let me know what you think.

Biaxial Body Energizer helps Diabetics with Peripheral Neuropathy

Nikken’s primary focus has been on magnetic technology for 35 years, so they really know magnets. They offer a lot of products with magnets that may help.

Happy feet due to the Body Energizer.

Absolutely!  Doctor’s do use magnets to help the body heal.

Currently the only FDA approved magnetic devices are those that generate pulsed electromagnetic fields.  One application of this that I have read about is in healing broken bones.  If a bone doesn’t heal in 3 to 6 months they may prescribe a battery operated device that the patient has to wear to 8 to 10 hours a day.  The device generates a pulsed magnetic field that stimulates the healing process in the bone.

Research has shown that magnetic fields can be effective for soft-tissue repair too.  Studies have shown things like reduced swelling, diminished pain, faster recovery, and accelerated nerve regeneration.  That’s just a few of the benefits that science has shown.

I believe that people can get similar benefits from the right static and biaxial magnets as well.  While not FDA approved, they have shown to be very effective in helping the body heal and have been used for thousands of years.

Bear in mind though that not everyone will see immediate benefit from  magnets, whether pulsed or static.  But then, not everyone receives immediate benefit from medications or any other therapy either.  The great thing about magnets is that there are no side effects.  You can’t say that about drugs.

I am an electromagnetic field and so are you.

Scientific research is finally beginning to find out how magnetic fields help the body.  I want to share one item that I read about yesterday.

Scientists are finally studying the connective tissue, the fascia, in the body and discovering all of the amazing properties that it has.  One aspect of the fascial system is the perineural system, which is the connective tissue that covers every last nerve fiber in the entire body.  Robert O. Becker discovered that it operates on a low voltage direct current (DC) and controls injury repair.

One of the discoveries that Becker made about the perineural system was that it is sensitive to magnetic fields.  His research was based on the ‘transverse Hall Effect’ which indicates that semiconduction is taking place in the system and gives a basis for healing with magnets and biomagnetic fields.

The Hall Effect states that if a current is flowing through a magnetic field, the magnetic field exerts a transverse force on the charge carriers that tens to push them to one side of the conductor.

So there’s the science behind magnets helping the body.  If it all made sense to you then that’s great.  If it didn’t, then here’s something that might help.  Magnets have been used for thousands of years by various cultures.  Try them for yourself and see what happens.  Contact me and I will get you hooked up.

I highly recommend the book where I found this information: Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis by James L. Oschman

Robert Becker also has a book, The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life, that I have not read yet. I will as soon as I finish Oschman’s book.

Just lovin’ this energy medicine stuff.
