cal school. Dr. Batmanghelidj practiced medicine in England before returning to Iran where he helped develop hospitals, and a family charity teaching medical center.

When revolution broke out in 1979, Dr. Batmanghelidj, as a member of a prominent family, was thrown in jail and was slated to be shot. While waiting to be "processed" as a political prisoner in Evin prison, he discovered the healing power of water.

One night, Dr. Batmanghelidj had to treat a fellow prisoner with crippling peptic ulcer pain. With no medications at his disposal, Dr. Batmanghelidj gave him two glasses of water. Within eight minutes, his pain disappeared. He was instructed to drink two glasses of water every three hours. He became absolutely pain-free for the four remaining months he was in prison. Without using any medication, he was cured. This discovery of the medicinal property of water at Evin saved the Doctor's life. The authorities now wanted to be associated with his discovery.

In 31 months of his imprisonment, Dr. Batmanghelidj treated over 3,000 peptic ulcer sufferers with water alone. He conducted extensive research into the medicinal effects of water. He discovered water could prevent, relieve and cure many painful, degenerative diseases. Evin prison proved an "ideal stress laboratory," and despite being offered an earlier release, he chose to stay an extra four months in prison to complete his research into the relationship of dehydration and bleeding peptic ulcer disease. The report of his findings was published as the editorial of the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology in June 1983. The New York Times Science section reported this discovery.

Upon his release in 1982, Dr. Batmanghelidj escaped from Iran and came to America. At "Foundation for the Simple in Medicine" he began research of the effect of chronic unintentional dehydration on the human body. His findings were published in their "Journal of Science in Medicine Simplified" in 1991 and 1992.

His research produced a paradigm shift in the basic science of medicine. As the guest lecturer of an international Cancer Conference, he explained that pain and the degenerative diseases, including cancers, are produced by dehydration in the human body. His article, "Pain: A Need for Paradigm Change," was published in the "Journal of Anticancer Research" in 1987.

For the first time in medical history, at the 3rd Interscience World Conference on Inflammation in 1989, Dr. Batmanghelidj explained that histamine is a neurotransmitter in charge of water regulation and drought-management programs of the body—the medical breakthrough people have been waiting for.

With his radio and TV interviews, Dr. Batmanghelidj is now promoting professional and public awareness of the healing power of water. His book, "Your Body Many Cries for Water," has helped millions of people.

He has written five books in English: "Your Body’s Many Cries for Water," which has been translated into many languages, "How to Deal with Back pain & Rheumatoid Joint Pain"; " ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus"; "Water: for Health, for Healing, for Life" (published by Warner Books) and "Water Cures: Drugs Kill." He as four videotapes, "Cure Pain & Prevent Cancer"; "Dehydration & Cancer"; "Health Miracles in Water & Salt" and "How to Deal with Back Pain.". His most recent article, "Waiting to get Thirsty is to Die Prematurely and Painfully" is published in the Townsend Letters for Doctors and Patients in January, 2003.

Book= all testimonials, but theory is great! Please Read:, July 7, 2004

Reviewer: "justanotherjj" (California) - See all my reviews

I have hated water as long as I can remember. While reading the testimonials (thats what THIS BOOK is people), it occurred to me all the times I refused water- I drank anything and everything but. I love liquids, I would be happy if everything I consumed was liquified somehow, thats how much I prefer to drink instead of eat solid foods.

Why not water? Tastes awful, especially the only water was that awful tap water when I was growing up. Though I have been forced to drink water out of bottles because I was also very athletic, I still couldn't believe people were PAYIING for bottled water. It has no taste, vitamins or anyhting I could find attractive. It wasn't as bad as tap water , but it sure wasn't milk, juice, diet soda, wine, beer, frozen yougurt smoothies, etc etc.

Then I had a accident and had to have my spine fused and rebuilt. My discs were ruptured.

I am better (walking) but not right. It was pointed out (in a second opinion) to me that my back was still not fused all the way at this point (2 plus years) and the remaining discs are losing their fluidity. I have not recoverd as much mobility and freedom of movement as a lot of others with the same surgery. I ahve been ticked of about this, and unable to work or play.

I have gained weight, developed throat paralysis (throat closes up and cannot breathe at any given time of day or night) extreme skin hives,an irritable small intrestine which regurgitates alot of my meals (Can't proceess food). While I have it settled down a little, I noticed I am exceptionally tired, look haggard , have high anxiety and dry eyes and hair, and am even more thirsty that I was most of my life. I have been checked for sugar imbalances and organ irregularities. I have always well supplied myself with nutriotional supplements and ate the politically correct food ( except water) and have been distressed about my failing health and inablity to recover more from the spine surgery. I am NOT a hypochondriac, quite the opposite; I have always loved to be doing anything that's outside, physical and has a lot of exertion involved, like running, hiking and weight lifting. I have been trying to reclaim my body and push my limits every day, but seem to get nowhere.

Yesterday I began to drink the water. Today I am continuing, and am going to buy Redmond Sea Salt as recommended, because the La Baleine Sea SaltI have used is refined and thus lacks the nutrients I always assumed were there(according to Dr. Batman****** on his website).

I have studied about and used herbal and homepathic remedies for many years and have never seen a simple system like this. I hate to admit it but if it works for me I won't be surprised, ( and I am a skeptic) because of my lifetime stubborness to refuse water (in the past three years I have just begun to drink MAYBE a 2-3 cups a day).

I am full, but I am going to stick it out for at least a month. I will write back to report the results.

If this is really the case with most people, all I have to say is "Duh!" What were we ever thinking before? and hope it's not too late, either.

This Book is all and only testimonials. I had to order the original one today: "The many cries for water" to read more about it (theory).

Back in a month!
