#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.

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.

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.

#5

The history of mankind tells us that through basic discoveries of the applied techniques of nature, important leaps of progress have been made. I had become a political prisoner of Islamic revolutionaries in Iran in 1979, and I discovered that two glasses of water could relieve even the severest abdominal pain associated with peptic ulcer disease.

#6

I was not executed, but I was given a three-year sentence. I was released with an official acclaim for my discovery. During my prison time, I gained much new understanding about the physiological effects of water and its relationship to many disease conditions.

#7

The human body is capable of understanding the role of
