Hi ,

I'm not sure about bears, but many animals, such as pigs, do not even have sweat

glands. So there are some big differences between animals and man. Their water

loss is kept to a bare mininum in times of

drought, because their bodily functions are built to retain water. Camels are

another example of an animal that can retain its water for months on end.

Humans, on the other hand, are quite different.

Water loss is daily, and constant.

Now, I am not saying that every human should drink 20 glasses of water a day, or

whatever. I only know what has happened for me, since I started the so-called

" water cure " program. For the past seven

years I've been hearing about this " water cure, " and have pooh-poohed it out of

hand, under the same notion you mention in your post i.e., " humans should just

drink when they are thirsty. " The problem

was, for me, when I was thirsty I drank sodas, tea, coffee, beer, mixed drinks,

milk, kool aid, almost everything BUT pure water. Most of these things are

diuretics for human beings i.e., they force water

to leave the body through urination, bowel excretion, sweating, and even through

breathing (much moisture leaves the body during the breathing process, just blow

your warm breath on a cold mirror and you

will see the resi- " dew " to prove it). In the past, whenever I did drink a

little water, it was normally because there wasn't a coke, glass of tea or cup

of coffee at hand.

Most people I know have these very same habits. And in humans, this leads to

dehydration. Animals do not have this problem. (After all, when was the last

time your cat ordered a coke at Mc's,

rather than drink from his/her water bowl?)

Now, you can get technical and call it " subclinical dehydration " rather than

full dehydration. But regardless, it is indeed a state we can get ourselves

into, it does indeed result in health problems, and

I can now testify to that from personal experience. Turning to the " water cure "

program has now cleared up so many little health problems I'd been plagued with

for years, that I am astounded. And I have

not been on it for a full month yet.

Best regards,

Steve B.

If you are going to be in hibernation whilst doing your fast, then fine.

Otherwise you NEED water. We can survive longer without food than we can

water (after 3-4 days you will become seriously ill without water and the

damage caused to vital organs like the kidneys can be irreversible).

Remember, while you are working, playing and generally resting, you are

using your water reserves. Animals that hibernate are in such a deep

unconscious state that all their bodily functions slow right down. They

don't drink...but they don't pee either!

So why it must be different for human being ? If we follow the nature, maybe

the best way is to look at this law. " Drink when you are thirsty " .

Water also helps with flushing toxins out of the body. The more you drink,

the more diluted the toxins become and the less risk when you pass them

through your body. Humans have a far different diet to animals and live with

toxins in the air and food. We have more toxins in our bodies than the bear,

who lives in the mountains...away from toxic gasses and eats salmon (a VERY

healthy food for us all if only we could catch it as easily as the bear

does!) It is wrong to compare us with animals like bears - we live in

totally different environments.

If you want to follow nature you have to get out there in the wilds and live

with it...away from technology and poisons (for now at least...they may well

spread eventually). Living as most of us do, in town and cities with

pollution and fast foods, going without water will harm you.

I started my first flush last night and I snuck in a medium meal between the

first and second epsom salts. It made me nauseous by the middle of the night

when I woke up with diarrhea and no stones yet. The epsom stops digestion. By

the time I drank the olive oil and lemon five hours later I still had not

digested my meal. I had to swallow some raw chopped ginger but it did not work

right away for nausea. I have a soar throat (post nasal) and neck. I slept very

little and need to go back to sleep. If you are not going to fast then I would

not do the epsom salts!

Hi, !

Glad to hear your kitty recovered. I'm new to the group and thought your

questions were interesting.

Have you seen the Water Cure site?

If you type that in search it'll probably get you there. It's very BIG

on the curative properties of drinking a lot of water.

About the hibernating bear example, its metabolism would be slower than

when he was awake, so maybe that's why he doesn't need as much water.

But when we're going about our lives, not hibernating, water helps carry

off the wastes produced as we metabolize. The cells gotta have a bath to

work well!

Best of health to you and kitty,

Shae

Hey Steve,

Just read you have been on the Water Cure thing for almost a month.I

Thanks for taking the time to write your comments about the animals -

very interesting.

Hi Heart,

Hope your heart is glad today!

Seems as though people have posted about having stones but no

gallbladder on this list. Someone will very likely be writing to share

similar concerns as yours or you might go to the archives to read the

messages I'm refering to.

Wishing you the best,

Stones you are talking about are formed inside your liver, inside intrahepatic

bile ducts.

Look at his picture to see a stone inside liver ducts:

http://www.curezone.com/gallstones/

They didn't come from your gallbladder.

It is usually other way around.

Stones are first formed inside liver, then " roll down " to gallbladdre, where

they continue growing and causing paiful problems.

We all have those stones inside our livers, that is why we are a members of

this group.

That is why we do a liver flush every few weeks.

That is why we get hundreds or even thousands of stones when we do a liver

flush.

Do you think that we can have place inside our gallbladder for 5000 stones ?

It must be a really huge gallbladder, don't you think ?

-------------------------------------------

Gallbladder surgery is often just a first surgery on the raw.

A friend of mine, who is working in a hospital, has seen records of people who

have been comeing for new surgery every 1 or 2 or 3 years.

Every 1 or 2 or 3 years there is another stone stuck inside bile ducts, and

another surgery.

She has seen records of people who have had 7 surgeries, 7 removals of the

stone.

And stupid doctors (or very smart), still do not understand (or have no

interest in understanding it) that stones are formed inside liver.

Why ?

Because Ultrasound or x-ray can not detect anything inside liver.

Blood test can not detect it.

Stetoscope can not detect it.

Well, that is as far as most doctors will go.

Because it does not make money for doctor or hospitals.

Because they think that we are stupid to come back again and again.

Because we are, (usually are) stupid enough.

-------------------------------------------

Stones (sometimes up to 5000 of them) are usually " stuck " inside your liver and

waiting to " go out " through common bile duct.

Until you have galbladder full of stones, AND until you have your gallbladder

removed, it is almost 100% sure you have at least 2000 stones " stuck " inside

intrahepatic bile ducts (bile ducts inside liver).

Over 80% of people older then 30 have intahepatic stones, and 99.999% of people

older then 55.

Almost avryone have stones, or will get them, sooner or later.

Intrahepatic stones are MAIN COFACTOR (causative agent, one of many other

causative agents) for more then 95% of all diseases and disorders, including

" incurable diseases " like: allergies, asthma, hypertension, constipation,

digestive problems, Diabaets, cardiovascular diseases, eye problems, ulcer,

cancer, AIDS, alzheimers, parkinsons, shoulder pain, arm pain, intestinal

infections, IBS, IBS, CFIDS, MCS, MS, FMS, Arthritis, OA, ...

Just the fact that you HAVE NO gallbladder does not change anything.

Your liver is still full of stones.

Removal of gallbladder can only help with poain.

It does not cure the main cause of the problem.

To get stuck stone pass through the rest of common bile duct, just do a full

liver flush, as described by Dr., 2 cups of epsom salt+water at 6pm and

8pm, one cup of olive oil+grapefruit juice at 10pm, and 2 cups of epsom

salt+eater at 6am and 8am, next morning. (Find link to liver flush at the

bottom of this message.)

You can (should) do it already tomorrow.

Sleep well, visit toilet whenever you have to.

You should put a white, plastic colander in the toilet when you eliminate so

you can observe your feces. The fluids will wash right through the colander,

leaving the solids behind for inspection. If you use a popsicle stick to poke

through your feces you may see:

n Live or dead parasites, ranging from two- to three-foot-long worms to

tiny ones that can barely be seen. (There will also be others that are too

small to be seen without a microscope.)

n Stones of different shape, size and colour, which will most likely

float, if you put them into water.

Put stones into plastic bowl with water.

Pick up all the stones that are floating on the top of the water, as well

stones that are on the bottom, wash them, count them, take photo of them (on

good daily light) to show to your relatives and friends (and of course, to

us), put them into few plastic bags and freez them, to be able to show them

later, and to be able to compare them to the stones you will get in next flush,

or to show them to your grand children.

If kept on room temperature, stones (almost always over 95% cholesterol) may be

" attacked " by intestinal bacteria, and may get converted into bile acids, into

bile, into smelly liquid. In that case you will not have much to show.

Why should you show it to them ?

Because they HAVE THE SAME STONES INSIDE THEIR LIVER.

BECAUISE, if they know about it, they may keep their gallbladder and their

health.

------------------------------

Then, take some time to share your experience with us.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------

>Can the flush help your stone stuck in duct??????????????

The main purpose of Liver flush (Liver cleanse) is to flush all stones that

stuck inside intrahepatic bile ducts (bile ducts inside liver), which are all

connected to the bile duct that leads to common bile ducts, which leads both,

bile and pancreatic digestive juices into duodenum.

Usually, intrahepatic bile ducts are not wider den common bile duct.

Common bile duct shoud be the widest duct.

That means that stones that can pass through intrahepatic bile ducts (bile

ducts inside liver), can always pass through common bile duct.

People have reported passing stones as big as golf ball, when doing flush.

Even children get stones few inch across.

If kids can do it, you can do it.

Men usually pass stones that are bigger then women.

One man passed stones that have been as big as his fist.

After analysing them, you coud see that thay have been composed from many

smaller stones.

It is possible that some of those stones clumped together into few big " balls "

while passing through colon, just before he pass them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Why do we think that people should avoid surgery ?

Let's forget all the side efects, and just think that person feels perfectly OK

after surgery. (some people actually does feel better for very long time, until

they develop cardiovascular problems, hypertension, allergies, ...)

After surgery, few months or years, one big stone, one of 2000 inside liver,

may " decide " to move down and " stuck " inside your bile ducts.

Then, doctor tells you that you need another surgery.

You say yes.

Dear HS,

I had my gallbladder out thirteen years ago now and have had stones

badly for the

last three years ( although I am a lot better now). The medical profession

always denies

that stones can be made in the liver but it's true I am living proof. Did they

do a

cholangeogram after your surgery to make sure they hadn't left any stones in the

bile

ducts? If not it is possible that your stone is a left over, or you could be

making more

stones through liver dysfunction like me.

Jane.

Hi Suzi, Yes, I did a one-day fast 2 years ago. I was just trying to find the info in my files, and came across something about beetroot which said it is very cleansing for the bowels and liver, and not to drink more than 6oz of beet juice a day. I bought a huge bag of beets, boiled some in a large pan, then ate a cold beet for both lunch and supper, as well as drinking a glass of the delicious juice before each meal for two days prior to the fast, so maybe that hasn't helped my poor system! The fast I did before consisted of drinking V8 juice, apple juice and herb tea. I think I just had to consume a certain amount in a day, so I worked my way though the various things. I felt very dizzy and spaced out in the afternoon, but that was it. Nope, I don't have any Super Nutrition :-( Cheers, Have you ever fasted before??? You may have thrown your body a curve! Do you have any super nutrition? You could take it with your juice in the a.m.

==========================

Hi ,

Boiling the beets defeats the purpose and boiled beet juice is a far cry

from freshly juiced beet juice. In order to detox the beets need to be

fresh as does the juice. You are much better just eating the beets raw

if you don't have a juicer or blending them up with a little distilled

water if needed and then drink that. Will be much more effective for you

body that way than using cooked beet juice.

Sorry I didn't jump in sooner but my modem blew over the weekend and I

have had to replace it. Never seen an electrical storm blow a modem

before. Fry the computer, yes but never just blow a modem.

Anyway, you are experiencing some heavy duty detox symptoms (healing

crisis, herx, etc.). All that is going on is your body is being thrown a

curve with all the toxins and metabolic wastes that are getting dumped

into your blood. This is how it is supposed to work. The blood then

carries all this garbage to the proper waste treatment facilities

(bowels mainly but also the kidneys, lungs and skin) for proper

disposal. Most anything can happen from full blown flu to headaches,

colds, nausea, dizziness, feeling spaced out, diarrhea, constipation,

cramps, stomach aches you name it.

One thing that can really help you in your detoxing whilst cleansing is

taking a hot epsom salt bath every day followed by a very cold shower.

Will really get things moving out of your system quite quickly.

Okay, so don't get discouraged here. You are learning a lot by doing

this cleanse. You are learning about you and that is the most important

aspect of it. You are also learning about cleansing and how to do it

properly without too much or too many problems. Let me tell you it takes

a lot of courage to take the plunge into doing a cleanse when you have

never really done one before. Fear of the unknown is pretty powerful

deterrent to most people.

Okay so hang in there and remember that you will go through situations

but they will dissipate as you continue. This is just your body's way of

getting rid of the crap you have piled up inside. You go girl you are

doing great. Just hit a little speed bump is all.

Don,

Thanks so much for the info. Raw beets huh? I'll have to try that. I

have a blender and a very small juiicer so I'll see what I can do.

Sorry to hear you blew your modem! Can you get surge protectors over there?

Hubby says they're not necessary as our laptops have those little boxes on

them, but we have a power bar with a surge protector for the desktop.

Yes, I read about the healing crisis, and thought it wouldn't apply to me

Ha! My system certainly needs a good clean out, so what can I expect.....

Last night, I considered quitting, and again when I woke up in the night,

but I decided that since I was 1/3 of the way there, it really would be nice

to continue, so here I am with my water and my AJ and my rumbly tummy {LOL}

not feeling too bad, but certainly won't be exerting myself .....

I'll see if I can find the epsom salts and have a relaxing bath tonight :-)

Thanks for giving me a boost :-)

Hi , Walking IS good! I manage to get out every morning with the dogs, and we are fortunate to have a wooded area just down the road here. It's very calming to get out in the peace and quiet and smells of nature :-) Day three of my fast. I began to feel nauseated again last night (at the exact same time as the previous night!) so I had some ginger tea then stopped drinking, and had an apple as I was hungry. I had a slight headache, but was very relived that I didn't throw up :-) Had a good night, in spite of getting up 4 times to pee(!) and woke up feeling not too bad, but slightly weak. At least the AJ tastes good this morning (I was getting sick of it by last night) :-) and the K9's We started walking every day. We live in the foothills here, so our walks involve a lot of up and down walking. Just a couple of miles a day. It seems to help with the "ucky body" feelings that come with the cleanse.

I'm pleased to report that I finished my 3-day fast, and resumed eating normally at noon today. I had thought that it had gone badly, considering my detox symptoms, but someone on another list wrote the following info. so I guess I should be happy that my fast went WELL :-) Thanks to everyone who helped me through this :-) and the K9's-------Some people are so ill that detox does not come for some time. There isa fasting clinic in Michigan that sends you home if you haven't starteddetoxing within two weeks. Their assumption being that you areseriously ill and your body is working on the illness and you shouldhave medical attention before proceeding any further.
