Review of ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus By: David Brownstein, M.D.

Dr. Batmanghelidj's book, ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus is a must read for those who practice medicine as well as for those who are suffering from chronic illnesses such as asthma, allergies and Lupus. Dr. Batmanghelidj's unique premise that dehydration is the underlying cause of asthma, allergies and Lupus is supported by sound research and clinical acumen. Dehydration may be the biggest health problem affecting the western world. Conventional medicine has failed to address this simple concept and the consequences to our health have been devastating. Dr. Batmanghelidj's first-hand accounts of his success in using water to cure many chronic conditions are compelling. He further supports his theory of dehydration as the underlying cause of asthma, allergies and Lupus with rational explanations why dehydration is the cause of many chronic illnesses. In this book, Dr. Batmanghelidj provides us with a safe and natural therapy--water-- to overcome many chronic illnesses, which, until now, has been very difficult to treat. As a practicing physician, I have found the information presented in this book invaluable. As a patient, incorporating Dr. Batmanghelidj's recommendations about drinking water into my diet has significantly improved my health. A life-long condition of allergies and asthma has been improved over 90% by using this safe and effective therapy. I was able to virtually eliminate my inhalers and medications by simply increasing the intake of water and adding salt to my diet. This book has not only resulted in an improvement in my life, but in my patients' lives as well. By incorporating Dr. Batmanghelidj's recommendations about using adequate amounts of water and salt, you can learn how to overcome many serious illnesses. The most fascinating part of the book was his discussion about Lupus. Dr. Batmanghelidj dissects the different signs of Lupus and provides compelling evidence for why Lupus may be caused by a long-standing dehydrated condition and why the traditional medical model has failed in the treatment. This book builds upon the information presented in Dr. Batmanghelidj's other books, Your Body's Many Cries for Water Dr. Batmanghelidj's book is a must read for physicians and patients alike. His unique premise that dehydration is the underlying cause of asthma, allergies and Lupus is supported by sound research and clincal acumen.

I have had a chronic cough for years, a form of cough-variant asthma. I also am on a salt-free, or low-salt diet. According to the author, a low or no-salt diet is a trigger for asthma symptoms,for your body can't hold in the water you need and becomes dehydrated. He explains as we become dehydrated we produce a large amount of histamine, which creates back pain,inflamed joints, allergies and asthma. He also explains how the lungs need water almost more than any other part of the body, and get tight and sensitive when the body lacks sufficient water. You also have to get off potassium, such as from orange juice and bananas for some people these are also triggers because they unbalance the salt/potassium balance.

To make a long story short, I started drinking the 8-10 glasses of water he recommends, with a pinch of salt (only use sea-salt) after every two glasses, and 1/2 t. a day of sea salt. Within 2 hours the tightness in my chest got better, and within one day I had completely stopped coughing. I kept thinking this was too simple to be true, but now, ten days later, I have almost complete relief from asthma symptoms.

This book really makes sense,and the information is presented well. Oh, and another benefit - all my lower back pain went away overnight, after months of pain, chiropractors, stretching, and everything else I could think of. He explains how lower back pain comes from dehydration, that occurs well before we even feel thirsty.

It does take a focus to drink that much water, without any tea, caffeine, or other kinds of drinks, but it is worth it. I have recommended this book to everyone I know and have taken it to my doctor to read. There are lots of testimonials in this book from doctors and clinics all around the country who have had the same excellent results using the recommendations in this book.

A nutritionist gave me her copy of Dr. Batmanghelidj's book The ABCs of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus to read because my 5 year old daughter suffers from both allergies and asthma. I was initially sceptical but decided to try Dr. Batmanghelidj's reccomedations. After one day of drinking water and putting a small amount of sea salt on my daughter's toungue we took her off her daily inhaler and antihistamine. Her syptoms disappeared literally overnight and after one week, her school teacher commented that her concentration had improved along with her handwriting. I would reccomend this book to anyone with allergies or asthma. The treatment is simple, safe and free.

After a lifetime of being told that salt is bad for me, I finally let go and started to use celtic sea salt liberally (as prescribed in the book). At first I only drank the water, but adding the salt completely maximized my progress. At 4 separate times this past weekend, I stopped my own asthma attacks at each onset. It took me about 7-10 minutes each time. It took alot for me not to use my inhaler, and to just give the water & salt a chance to work. I am extremely grateful and rather emotional about it, since I thought I would be on my proventil inhaler for the rest of my life. The inhaler has caused a number of side effects, and I am now planning a detox to remove the residue of this drug from my body, which I've been dependent on for more than 27 years. And I've only been doing this seriously for 2 weeks, (and getting better with each day). I thank "Dr.B" for giving me my health back (along with hundreds of others whose testimonials I've read on the www.watercure2.com site). These are the same testimonials I was so compelled to read again and again, because I just could not believe and accept that something so simple could cure this disease that left me so weak and scared about the future of my health. Not to mention, very likely preventing other diseases I would be on the road towards. I suppose this is my own testimonial, because it really happened, and I hope that readers searching for an answer will forget their fears (that it won't work) and try it. Yes, it is still hard even for me to believe...even though it continues to work for me. But I do know for sure that I will never stop Dr.B's water & salt prescription. I will say this - if you want your health back, just take it back by taking action.

The book is about water and SALT. Unless you incorporate the SALT along with the water, your body will not correct the problem 100%. But if you incorporate the SALT, along with the water, and avoid the dehydrating caffeine in tea, coffee, soft drinks) and chocolate, you will not believe the results unless you experience them or are close to someone who experiences the results.

The contents of this book are amazing, and the letters from MD's confirming this discovery is too revealing of the dilemna we have allowed to persist - that of "treating" and "milking the problem" without taking the corrective steps to eradicate the problem and educate the public. The fact still exists that each one of us is responsible for what we do and for what we accept as truth. Don't take anyones word for anything, try it for yourself - you be judge, jury, and prosecutor. Are you not already the victim?

This a most remarkable book, and along with Dr. Batman's earlier book, "Your Bodies Many Cries For Water", answers the questions we all ask, and for which the answers will not come from the NIH, AMA, and "support" groups for asthma and many if not all others. Dr. Batmanghelidj calls it the "Sick Care Industry". And why will the simple answer not come from these institutions? Simply because "there is no money in it" - there is no money in water and salt. But there are billions in "treating" asthma, allergies, cancer, lupus, ms, diabetes, and the list goes on.

Use your God given head, and your God given common sense.

What's the first thing given to patients when admitted in the hospital due to severe illness of any kind?

Yes, great guess, a SALINE SOLUTION DIRECTILY INTO THE BLOOD.

Cause it's the best thing for your sick body.

Hello? Hello? Hello? Is anyone out there? Is anyone listening? Is anyone using their God Given Common Sense?

Get this book and READ IT, and DO IT.

Then see if you don't start to look around you and begin to ask "uncomfortable" questions.

Get on the web and search for water cure, salt cure, etc.

And, by the way, if you believe what you find on snopes as if God Himself had written it, then you will have a difficult road to travel.

How often have we heard the advice through our lives to drink at least 8 glasses of 'water-water' (as opposed to other beverages) per day? How many of us do? I thought I was drinking enough since I always seem to have a glass in my hand as a lifelong habit, but after actually counting glasses for several days, I realised I'm coming up a little short every day.

Just that one change of conciously drinking more water and getting a little salt every day has made me feel immensely better and diminished many of the symptoms of dehydration that I never knew about before Dr. 'Batman's book came to me. A great book! It's connected so many other things together for me that I already knew about health and nutrients. Startling and yet such a simple sensible idea.

Great Book. Simple to follow, highly recommended. Much safer than steroids and beta 2 agonist which lead to choronic problems with continued use.

If you are a fan of Dr. Batman (and heaven knows I am) you have to read this book. It is an accompaniment for his other books, "You're not sick, you're thirsty" and "your body's many cries for water". Rehashes some of the information in the other books but is necessary, just in case the reader hadn't read the other books first. If you have a family member with these problems (as I do) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give this book a chance. It could save their lives.

since I have multiple allergies and have had them for many years, I found this book very helpful in my search for help with this malady. It was interesting and informative and easy to read and understand.

There is significant evidence that the root cause of many, if not most, cases of asthma (and many allergies as well) is deficiency of magnesium. This fact is discussed in detail by Dr. Carolyn Dean in her excellent book The Miracle of Magnesium. Dr. Dean recommends 600 mg of supplemental magnesium daily. People with asthma who follow Dr. Dean's advice about daily magnesium supplementation often improve dramatically even if they have continued to struggle with asthma under other treatments which omit magnesium supplementation. If you are suffering from asthma please read Dr. Dean's excellent book and follow her advice regarding daily magnesium supplementation. It may well be the most important thing you will ever due to relieve this terrible ailment. By the way, although a variety of magnesium supplements are available, and beneficial, chelated magnesium -- which is readily available in most health food stores -- is the most effective.
