Amazon.com Review
As a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, the author, a medical doctor, believes that he has found chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches, hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and diabetes in the elderly.
According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the body possesses many different thirst signals. A dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of your body's water needs. He describes a variety of more reliable ones, and helps you learn to understand when your body is calling for water. In this way, he claims you can prevent, treat, and cure a variety of conditions of ill health, at no cost, with what he calls nature's miracle medicine: Water. The author explains how much water one needs to drink a day to stay healthy, and why tea, coffee, and sodas are not good substitutes for water. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I'd heard for years that I should be drinking more water, but nobody could tell me why this was so. At the same time I found it extremely difficult to increase my intake of water for apparently no good reason.
Finally, here is a book that explains why we should drink more water.
Dr B's explanation, which constitutes the important message of this book, is that many common, serious ailments are caused by simple dehydration.
When Dr B was incarcerated in prison in Iran for political reasons, he made the first of one of his important discoveries by completely alleviating the severe pain of a fellow inmate suffering from a stomach ulcer by giving him 3 glasses of water, no more no less.
The book contains many testimonials written by persons testifying that Dr B's water intake recommendations had cured/greatly alleviated their arthritis, headaches, MS, high blood pressure, dizziness, overweight, asthma, allergies, high cholesterol, angina, hiatal hernia, back pain, etc etc.
The amount of water we must drink is a minimum of 6 to 8 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Alcohol, coffee, tea and caffeine-containing beverages don't count as water.
It's best to drink one glass half an hour before a meal and one glass two and a half hours after each meal. Two more glasses should be taken in connection with our biggest meal or before going to bed.
Personally I have no idea how much an ounce is, but ten glasses of water is equivalent to about 2 litres, so I try to drink 2 litres a day. I measure this by refilling empty 1/2 litre coconut water cartons, and try to drink 4 of these a day. Coconut water is actually the very best liquid one can drink since it contains the necessary electrolytes, or salts - this is information I learnt from another book, on coconut water,, which book I have also reviewed.
Dr B informs us that it is important to add to the diet about half a teaspoon of salt a day for every 2 litres of water one drinks (since one is drinking ordinary and not coconut water). I personally only use sea salt.
The book is extremely scientific, and I don't claim to understand all of the text, but still the author is totally convincing in his arguments about the absolute necessity of our increasing our intake of water.
He explains how the drinking of caffeine-containing beverages such as coffee, tea and cola exacerbates dehydration. He also explains how diet sodas cause weight gain and expatiates on the dangers of the artifical sweetener aspartame.
The book contains an exciting chapter on the doctor's ideas on AIDS, that it is not caused by the HIV virus but by an imbalance in the amino acid composition in the patients' bodies.
The late Dr B fought untiringly to get his message about the absolute necessity of increasing our water intake out to the world, but other doctors and authorities were impervious to his arguments. This was no doubt because water can't be patented, and the medicinal industries that control the doctors risk losing immense sums in drug profits, were the general public to discover that they could drop their drugs intake merely by drinking water.
I strongly recommend that you read this essential book which contains vital, life-saving information!

Actually this review is a cross reference to Dr. B's other masterpiece, How to Deal with Back Pain and Rheumatiod Joint Pain, where I have extensively written a chronology of successful curing of my dislocated disc in my lower back. I had purchased Many Cries... a few months ago (2008 revised edition) where page 51 describes 2 alignment exercises for the discs in the neck. By coincidence, my neck was more stiff than usual. My chiropractor and his massage therapists could not relax the left side of my neck no matter how many sessions they tried. In December 2008 I was going to them several times a week with minimal success. By chance I came across the techniques on page 51 and after 3 sessions with a 48 hour rest between each self-session in the week after Xmas 2009, I have not had any recurring stiff necks( today is Jan 24, 2010). I say 'by chance' because this neck tech is not explained in his Back Pain book and I just happened to start reading Many Cries... I recommend all of his books. I have read most. There is some repetition but I have learned something new in each of his books. Between this book and the Back Pain edition, back pain should be history for you.How to Deal With Back Pain and Rheumatoid Joint Pain
Today = Sept 23,2011--Wife had stiff neck last week. No deal, right? Wrong! The next day was my daughter's wedding. I did the technique on my wife and no more stiff neck since. To be safe, I did the technique on myself before the wedding. We both had a great time.

While I'm awaiting the arrival of my book, I've been reading the reviews. I find it interesting that of the 149 reviews posted, though there are some skeptical comments, thoughts and theories, not one person has written that they have actually drank water as the author prescribes and DIDN'T notice any improvement OR noticed ill-affects. I think that says a lot.
