Why Most Incurable Diseases Are Neither Incurable Nor Diseases

From Water for Health, for Healing, for Life

by F. Batmanghelidj M.D. (pages 28-29)

The missing piece of the scientific puzzle in the water-regulatory mechanisms of the body, which has been exposed since 1987, is the coupled activity of the neurotransmitter histamine to the efficiency of the cation exchange, its role in the initiation of the drought-management programs, and its role in the catabolic processes when the body is becoming more and more dehydrated. Based on the primary water-regulatory functions of histamine, and the active role of water in all physiologic and metabolic functions of the body—as the hydrolytic initiator of all solute functions—the symptoms of thirst are those produced by excess histamine activity and its subordinate mechanisms, which get engaged in the drought management programs of the body. They include asthma, allergies, and the major pains of the body. They include asthma, allergies, and the major pains of the body such as heartburn, colitis pain, rheumatoid joint pain, back pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgic pains, and even anginal pain. And since vasopressin and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activity in the body are subordinates to the activation of histamine, their role in raising the blood pressure is a part of the drought-management programs of the body. Their purpose of forced delivery of water into vital cells demands a greater injection pressure to counteract the direction of osmotic pull of water from inside the cells of the body when it is dehydrated.

From the new perspective of my twenty-two years of clinical and scientific research into molecular physiology of dehydration, and the peer-reviewed induction of a paradigm shift in medical science, recognizing histamine as a neurotransmitter in charge of the water regulation of the body, I can say that the sixty million Americans with hypertension, the one hundred ten million with chronic pains, the fifteen million with diabetes, the seventeen million with asthma, the fifty million with allergies, the nearly one hundred million obese people in America, and more, all did exactly as mainstream medicine dictated. They all waited to get thirsty. Had they realized water is a natural antihistamine and a more effective diuretic, I believe these people would have been saved the agony of their health problems.
