Summary of F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.'s Water - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first mistake that modern medicine makes is the assumption that dry mouth is the only sign of dehydration. However, the human body uses a different logic: to be able to chew and swallow food, and to facilitate and lubricate this function, ample saliva is produced, even if the rest of the body is short of water. #2 The first major mistake in the basic science of medicine is the assumption that water is a simple substance that only dissolves and circulates different things.
Water has two primary properties in the body: its life-sustaining properties and its life-giving functions. Modern medicine only recognizes the life-sustaining properties of water. #3 The human body has many different ways of showing its general or local water needs. Dehydration causes a constantly changing new chemical state in the body, and when this state becomes fully established, it causes many structural changes. #4 A new paradigm is the basic infrastructure on which knowledge within a discipline of thought develops.
It is more easily born when there is a specific need and a purpose to find a solution.
