I've been hearing about water therapy for sometime now and recently got an email explaining how to do it and what the potential benefits of it are. \n\nFor example it says that the thingies that create red blood cells in ur bodies get cleaned by this water so ur immune system strengthens. According to it this is how u do it- When u get up in the morning before u do anything else (even before rinsing ur mouth with water or brushing ur teeth) u drink 1.5 litres of normal water in under 2 minutes. Then u dont eat or take any fluids for at least one hour. \n\nOk it took me 2 weeks to be able to to get to 2 litres but i did it in the end. Then for abt 2 weeks more ive been doing it. \n\nThen recently I came across another article in a Mag that says drinking too much water can be toxic.\n\nNow I only drink one big glass in the morning.\n\nA friend of mine who just passed outta medical school said he never heard of water therapy and advised me against it.\n\nAnyway is water therapy for real?

What you have been given is a snipet of how to use water therapeutically and this snipet of info does not explain correctly. "Water Therapy" is another load of rubbish that someone is making money from that has no results to back it up. these sorts of things give Natural Therapies a bad name and I am dead against them.\nIt is great to drink 2 LT of water...Daily,  not in 2 hours! That is not good for you. I bet you pissed a lot!! LOL!\nYou should not drink water before, during or immediately after a meal as it dilutes the digestive juices and makes digestion harder thus creating energy problems.\n\nWater is not toxic unless it contains toxins already.\n\nLarger intakes of water are suggested therapeutically by Naturopaths etc for aiding in detoxification programmes, but this is under supervision and for short periods only, not for prolonged periods. When I say larger, still not 2 Lt in 2 hours!\n\nIf you want to know about Natural healthcare then see your local Naturopath and get real advise my friend and save yourself the hassles.\n\nHope this has helped you.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

If you are interested in a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente.  High blood pressure runs in my husband's family.  He tried dietary changes, high-cardio workouts, but nothing seemed to work.  He was getting prescribed medications but it didn't sit well with him that he is only 38 and would have to take hi BP meds.  So, his personal trainer/nutritionist and wife (who is a doctor), turned him on to ViaViente (which they recommend to all their clients/patients who are interested in natural approaches to combat nearly any health ailment imaginable).  After 3 weeks, his blood pressure went from 140+ to 117.  It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.\n\nI know a network of trainers, nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists and herbalists who highly recommend this product.  It has also helped me with my lifelong allergy problem (I no longer take any meds) and my kids have not had a drop of Motrin or Tylenol since they've been drinking this juice (I used to feel like I was drugging my kids because they used to get sick so often).  My family loves it and we highly recommend it for preventative health, maintenance...your body just operates at an optimal level with ViaViente added to your diet.  4 ounces a day is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and vegetables.\n\nYou are welcome to contact me directly and I can answer additional questions you may have.  I did quite a bit of research on the product and it's nearest competitors.

What benefit are you talking about? Your body will be flushing out toxins, so you will get healthier, but that isn't a benefit you can see. Drinking more water will make your skin healthy and soft, which should be noticeable in two-weeks. You will start to lose a few pounds in a month.

No it is not bad. In fact a grown up male should take a minimum of 3 litres of water or other fluids per day. It can be more than this but not less. read -\n\nHow much water do you need?\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day-.

Oh Hunny, I heard of that diet as well and it did NOt suggest that you drink a whole bottle it only said (1) TBLS. It has not been proven to burn fat but it will cleanse out her system, blood and toxins. Just let her know that the whole bottle is not required she will be hurting herslef instead of losing teh weight. Just let her know the correct way to take it (1) TBLS and it should be done no more than a week. Thee is no proven fact that it even works for weight loss but, it does have other beneifits such as clearing up acne, blood and toxins. But, I think a whole bottle is dangerous.

You have always heard... if it sounds to good to be true it usually is!  This is also true with this diet.  What happens to your body during this diet is... If you do not put food in your body for 48-72hrs like most liquid diets last you have no food in your body.  All of it is passed out.  Most all liquid diets make people sick giving them diraheal.  After going to the bathroom over and over again you have no food in your body. (i know your thinking duh!)  Foods give your body nurtrition and you need this to be healthy.  You will become dehydrated from this diet because you also do don't drink any other liquids including water.  All the water you loss will be water weight.  So when the diet is over you will regain the weight quickly as soon as you start to drink water again.  Your body is 70% water weight.  I do not suggest this diet or any other diet pills to anyone. If you want to loss weight make reasonsible goals 5-10lbs at a time-give your self time to reach the goals everyone losses at a different rate.  Exerice is very important, watch how much you eat, drink lots of water, count calories it is the only way to loss weight and keep it off.  3,500 calories equal one pound. I have a formula that will help you figure out how many calorie you need everyday for you height and bone structure. This will also help you decide what is a healthy weight for you.

Yes, water is very good for your health..It gives you healthy skin, hair, and all around healthy body...\n\nYou should drink 8 glasses of water a day..So if you are drinking 5 bottles of 9 oz. water..you will be okay..\n\nAnd like the person above said..there is such a thing as drinking too much water, but you would have to drink way more than five bottles of it to get water intoxication..Unless you have some other illnesses such as liver disease, but I'm guessing you don't cause then you would know when you should resrict water...\n\nBut the answer to YOUR question is YES that is healthy for you\n\nHope that helps..

One full minute or more is quite satisfactory.\n\nHowever, the water in India is extremely bad in many locales.  After boiling it, allow it to cool to room temperature and then pass it through a Brita filter to remove other pollutants.\n\nThis is all a very annoying procedure, until you get terribly sick, and then you will wish you had stuck to it faithfully.\n\nWesterners are much less immune to potential contaminants, especially the bacteria and viruses.\n\nMake sure you take enough Brita supplies with you,  There is also some kind of Brita straw for emergency use when you are away from the usual apparatus.\n\nYou will need to thoroughly ignore the India natives and use the advice of experienced and competent visitors.\n\nWarning:  The water is extremely bad.  No exaggeration whatsoever.  The potential maladies are quite grievous and local medicines are frequently adulterated.  Get your medicines and treatment from a foreign, western source if at all possible.

These people are NUTS.  There is no amount that you "should" be drinking.  The "8 glasses a day" and "half your weight" theories have NO basis in science.  It's all just myth and folklore.  Drink when you're thirsty.  No benefit to over-drinking.

It will kill you.\nYou wont allow your body time to process the water and you will develop hyponatremia. This occurs when we consume to much water, and the water dilutes the concentration of the body's sodium.\n\nIt is smarter to drink could water, then warm water. The cold water makes your body work harder, as it likes to make the water body temp. So drink cold water to speed up your metabolism. But do it in moderation.\n\nI have a special report on how to speed up your metabolism.\nGot to my site, sign up for the newsletter and I'll email it to you.\nGOD BLESS

Basically add the water lost through diarrhoea to the water lost through normal peeing and that's more water lost than usual therefore it needs to be replaced. When you pee it's perfectly normal therefore your body can handle the amount of water lost but diarrhoea isn't part of your body's normal digestion process therefore it's excess water that's lost.\n\nWhat happens when you get diarrhoea is your body has some sort of virus or bug or just something that it does't like therefore the digestive system (which is the system that gets rids of wastes and your body's toxins) will work faster than normal to get rid of that substance. Usually when digested food gets to the large intestine (the part right before your anus which is where the poo comes out) it absorbs any excess water and produces "normal consistency" poo. However because your entire digestive system is working faster than usual the digested food just kinda "zooms" through the large intestine without time for it to absorb the water therefore it comes out more "watery" than usual. Because this water was not absorbed into your body when it should have been, you will be lacking water which is why you need to drink plenty of water to replace it. \n\nHmm... does that make sense? Lol.

I know alot of people who do a shot a day, and they claim that it is the cure for everything.  I myself get so sick after one shot, that I can barley do one a week.  I might have an allergic reaction or something though.  If you can, it is perfectly safe to do 1 oz. per day.

Please don't do that. it's sooo unsafe! I'm also 5'5" and I'm 135 lbs. I'm currently trying to lose 10-15 lbs. Anyway, here's what you SHOULD do with water. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. If you drink a lot of water it will help you lose water weight. It sounds quite contradicting to our logic but i'll explain why.\n\nOur body is composed of a lot of % of water and stores it anywhere in our body for future use especially if you only drink a little in a day. But if you constantly drink a lot of water everyday, our body will release the water stored in our body because it will think that it'll never run out of it. Therefore releasing what we call "water weight".\n\nAlso, water can be used as an appetite supressant. Try drinking a glass of water before you eat your meal and you won't eat as much. Replace sodas with water. It can do wonders.\n\nAnd here's another thing, did you know that if you drink ICE COLD water it can actually burn calories? :) This is because it can't be used by our body in its cold state. So our body uses energy to bring it to normal temperature. \n\nSo drink up girl! :) Drink a glass of H2O when you wake up, before meals and after meals and before you go to sleep. :)\n\nOh and I have recently discovered that green tea allows you to burn 80 calories a day.\n\nI hope i've been a help.:) Anyway, since you're trying to lose weight as I am, we can both help each other as we reach our goal weights. We can be weight loss buddies through email or yahoo messenger. If you want to of course. :) my yahoo id is michele_mai.\n\nGood luck in trying to lose weight! I sure am gonna need it. ;)

Due the day after tomorrow, huh? : |  Oh well.\n\nYou might give this a shot, and it shouldn't be diffucult to find much info online about it too.\n\nSo often, it goes unnoticed, but is used everyday. The water you drink is already special -it has so many uses and is a really interesting and versitle compound, but a hot button issue in many places is whether or not your drinking water should be FLUORIDATED. Fluorine (make sure it's spelled 'u' before 'o' to advoid spelling point reductions) has caused quite a stir for some people because it is a poison. So why is this poison added to city drinking water by the water departments? It helps to fight tooth decay, and helps save millions in dental costs especially among the poor who sometimes can't afford dentistry service in the first place. But yet is still a posion.\n\nHere is where you come in. Do a little research on what fluorine is, how much is harmful, why is it added to water, and maybe how much is added to water. From there, you can write a paper showing how it is a part of daily life, and how chemistry in your life isn't just facts, but also a hot topic to many.\n\nWell, good luck with the research, and with the paper!

Water in such large amounts is poison!  \n\nIt causes a condition called hyponatremia.  Drinking so much water (you're talking about half a gallon every 15 minutes- that's 2 gallons an hour, or 32 gallons in a 16 hour day) causes your blood to become diluted, which interferes with your heart, brain, and muscle function. Untreated, it can lead to comma or death. \n\nThis is NOT a safe way to increase your metabolism.\n\nIn a healthy adult, the kidneys can process a MAXIMUM of  4 gallons (512 oz) per day.  However, even that much water will not increase your metabolism.  Only exercise can increase your metabolic rate.

If your urine is clear every time, it will take about three days to fully hydrate all the tissues in your body. During this time you should expect to put on some weight (3-5 %). Don't look at this in a bad way. It's just weight you should have had all along. All the chemistry in your body happens in water. If the water gets saturated with waste products, the reactions slow down.\n\nAfter the three day period, you can slow up a bit on the water consumption; so long as your urine remains clear - you are hydrated. After your tissue is hydrated, the only ways balance your water is to cut back on water intake, or do something to increase the output (ie sweat from increased exercise or urinate more).\n\nWhile it is possible to drink too much water - it is rare. I have seen it under forced situations. What happens is the stomach lining is damaged (similar to how water logged hands ache). Usually, it only causes stomach ache and will make you throw up if you drink more.
