 Healthy hydration depends upon water. Our goals should be to recreate the mountain stream water that our ancestors once thrived on. The only way to do this is to drink water that contains healthful amounts of essential minerals. Minerals are the ticket to life itself, because they provide the essential cofactors for the life-supporting enzymes of the human body. In the natural world, these minerals automatically come ll!lll!ll!lllllllllllllllllll!l!ll!! |

 Functional benefit: How food marketers like to describe certain unhealthy products, such as sports drinks, claiming they provide "energy" or "hydration."
Good or bad foods: As in: "There are no good or bad foods; all foods can fit into a balanced diet." This is how food companies (and many nutritionists who perpetuate this myth) keep people confused and deflect any criticism about unhealthy products.
Good-for-you products: How PepsiCo defines that subsection of its Smart Spot products that they say are "actively good for you," such as Tropicana orange juice or Quaker oatmeal. |

 For example, you could say "no" to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), "no" to a respirator, "yes" to nutrition and hydration (food and water) or "no" to nutrition and "yes" to hydration, and so on. In many states, if you do not specifically declare otherwise, nutrition and hydration will continue to be given to you (by a feeding tube) even if all other life support measures have stopped.
Remember that your decisions are not set in stone. |

 If the environmental conditions are similar in a given area within or between sites, then the relative amounts of hydration can be compared. The thicker the hydration layer, the older the date. And, if other more specific dating techniques can be used, then actual dates can be used to date other specimens with similar hydration rates.

| If you are able to make only one immediate health modification, make it your water and hydration habits—the single most critical factor to health and well-being. mixed in with the spring water. As our bodies cannot operate capably without the proper concentration of these trace minerals, there is bound to be sickness and disease, due to either a lack of the right type of water or a lack of any water at all.
F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., the famous water pioneer and advocate, has described the prolific and profound ways we benefit from water. |
| Some of the chapters, such as "Hydration," "Environmental Toxins," and "Nutrition," are jam-packed with information, which may overwhelm you if you try to process and implement it all at once. Take your time! Read a section, or even just a few pages a day, and reflect on what you are learning. Think about the short-term changes you're able to make now, and the long-term goals you'd like to set for the future. I don't want you to be intimidated and frustrated, but inspired and excited about what you are learning. So just do a little at a time. |

 Research shows us that usually a water hydration shell, or structured water, has 300-400 water molecules connected together through the hydrogen bonds. This structure is critical for human life because that is how energy is carried. So we really can't say that the formula for water is H20. It is really, in a sense, a single, very big molecule, H20 times 400. The molecular weight of water is not 18, but probably closer to 7,200. Water in its liquid state is a super-molecule. If it were simply the single molecule called H20, it would be in a gaseous state. This is the basic physics of water. |

 As part of their role in maintaining proper hydration of the body, they have a direct influence on electrolytes. Diets too low in carbohydrates can eventually lead to kidney and cardiovascular distress. A person with leptin resistance may already have strained kidney and cardiovascular function, thus a diet too low in carbohydrates may aggravate these issues.
A physically active person who uses their muscles frequently has a higher need for carbohydrates and has an increased ability to metabolize carbohydrates. |

| Daily Renewal 5x hydration Therapy, Intensive Treatment ($4.99 for 5-9 ounces) is nearly identical to the Daily Renewal 5x Replenishing Conditioner, for Dry/Damaged Hair above, and the same comments apply. There is nothing intense about this product—it's just a name change to differentiate it from what it really is—a standard conditioner.

| The cactus extract has no effect on hair's hydration level. Just because a cactus can hold onto water doesn't mean that it can transfer that benefit (unique to this plant when it is in soil, not when it's in a hair-care product) to hair.
© d:stroyed Daily Conditioner ($6.95 for 12 ounces) is a very standard, rather boring, conditioner. It works well for normal to slightly dry hair that is normal to fine or thin. This has no special benefit for damaged hair—if anything, damaged hair needs more than this basic conditioner can provide.

| The meaning of hydration is hydrogen-donating electrons. This is the secret of water. When we understand this principle, choosing what water will best serve us becomes very simple. One other function of water is its role as a universal solvent to eliminate toxins out of the body and out of the cell. Water also acts as a harmonic communicator through its structure, so that the cells can communicate between each other and intracellularly, through patterned frequencies that the water is able to transmit.
Water, H20, contains the two critical elements of life: hydrogen and oxygen. |

The Processed-Food Conundrum: Nature Nourishes Best
Too often I hear nutrition advocates argue that when a company makes a change, even a less than perfect one, that's "a step in the right direction." As if food corporations have begun to "see the light" and, with a little coaxing, it's only a matter of time before they transform themselves into purveyors of truly healthy products. |

 A quick way to assess your state of hydration is to look for a sign called "tenting." To do this, pinch the skin on the back of your hand. If the skin remains standing in the shape of a tent for several seconds before returning to its flattened state, this is a sign of dehydration.
CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT
¦ For simple, mild to moderate dehydration, consuming an oral hydrating product such as Gatorade or Power Ade, along with plenty of water, is usually sufficient to correct the problem. |

| Ionization improves the water's absorption and movement through the aquaporin (a family of related proteins that reside in cell walls) channels of the cells, ultimately resulting in proper intracellular hydration.
Among other things, ionized alkaline water is a buffer against lactic acid buildup, so that recovery time after exercising is decreased. This, in turn, naturally enables us to experience an improved capacity for aerobic activities. |

| HEMICELLULOSES
Hemicelluloses, such as those found in oat bran, also promote regular bowel movements by increasing hydration of the stool. Hemicelluloses also directly bind cholesterol in the gut, preventing cholesterol absorption. Bacteria in the gut digest hemicelluloses, increasing the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut and creating short-chain fatty acids (discussed below), which colon cells use as fuel and decrease cholesterol. |
| Other Recommendations
For people with cancer, especially those undergoing chemotherapy, it's absolutely essential to maintain good hydration. Without adequate water your body cannot detoxify the drugs and remove them from the system. The buildup of these toxins will lead to further symptoms and discomfort. Fluid is needed to remove the meta-bolic by-products of the fight against cancer, in-1 eluding the debris from dead cells. |

| Here are some tips for maintaining good hydration:
• Prepare herbal iced tea and keep a glass at your side throughout the day. If you sip just 4 to 6 ounces every hour, you'll reach your daily quota for fluids.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol. These act as diuretics, which means they draw water from your cells and cause you to urinate more fluid than you are consuming.
• Eat more soups, stews, and other "watery" foods. These are often easier to digest. They're also easy to reheat when you are tired, and they increase your total water intake with each serving. |

 We want to minimize calories, spend little time in the stomach, and have a benefit for hydration.
Mike: But you still offer electrolytes, the minerals that people need to replace?
Bovio: Absolutely. The electrolytes can be more readily absorbed because we have less carbohydrates and no sugar. Our drink specifically contains calcium chloride, magnesium, potassium, sodium, selenium, zinc, and phosphorus in ratios that the body can recognize. It's a tremendous difference for how the body feels.
Mike: Some of the popular products also have artificial colors in them. What about your products? |

 Once you drink one can of a soft drink beverage, you feel like you still need more, and thus the body is trapped in a never-ending cycle of craving for hydration that simply cannot be met by consuming soft drinks. What your body truly craves is water.
Caffeine is also another water-depleting drug. Consuming caffeine in any form, whether soft drinks or coffee or pills, creates a diuretic effect in your body, which means your body begins to eliminate water through urination. |

 Methodical in all things, his footwear, nutrition, and hydration are all appropriate. A podiatrist and an orthopedist recommended rest as treatment for what was presumed to be a stress fracture. When he returned to running, the pain returned. A bone scan was ordered and interpreted as showing a stress fracture. More rest was advised. At this point he came to see me. He admitted to being a perfectionist and putting much pressure on himself. Not surprisingly, he was a straight-A student and participated in a host of extracurricular activities in addition to running. |

| The Body As a Series of Synchronous, Amplified Crystalline Resonant Fields
It is the author's theory that the fundamental mechanism by which the cell salt structured water and its enlarged hydration shell are able to attract additional like ions has to do with the creation of an amplified crystalline resonant field by cell salt and structured water. This amplified field is able to attract the weaker but similarly resonating crystal fields of the single ions. The single ions are drawn into and fit synchronistically into the larger resonant field pattern of the cell salt in its structured water. |

Researchers have reported on the use of pregnenolone in a variety of rheumatologic diseases. In a study of pregnenolone therapy (intramuscular injection, 50-600 mg daily) for rheumatoid arthritis (page 387), six of eleven people experienced moderate to marked improvement in symptoms of joint pain and joint mobility. The symptom improvemenr was apparent two to four days after therapy was initiated. |
