Hi Kalrasl,
My name is Richard, Jim Bolen forwarded me your email to him. First off, let me assure your that their is without a question much hope for you!! On March 7th of this year I emailed Jim just as you did. I was feeling very desperate and like you after twenty years of searching and trying what seemed like everything known to mankind I was almost at a point of giving up. Jim explained to me about the great Dr Batmanghelidj (or as his students call him Dr B). and how I (or anyone else) could be cured from my ailments. Somewhat skeptical, I decided to do exactly what Jim advised me to do. He guided me through the teachings of Dr B. The main point of this program is that ailments are caused by chronic dehydration ,thus Dr B's book "Your Body's Many cries for water" The right amount of water along with SEA SALT, potassium and amino acids (Diet) and exercise (I walk 1 hour a day) is critical and WILL have a dramatic change on the way you feel! Since starting the program (less than 2 months ago) I have gone from a person who suffered from extreme anxiety and stress and depression to a person who really is loving life!!!! Another big plus has been my pants size has gone from a forty waist to a 36!!!!!- Follow Dr B's program. There is HOPE and success waiting for you just around the corner.
In Health, Richard

My story is not about failing to get help from the watercure. It has been a real blessing. People are telling me that I am losing weight. My blood pressure is 127/76, when just a month ago it was 144/96. My wife told me that she is noticing that I am growing new hair in the bald spot on top of my head! I had pain in my toes so bad that the toes felt like they were numb and ached all the time. I would frequently wake up from a sound sleep because of the pain in my toes.
My wife and I went out and bought Redmond's Real Salt, because it has 50 minerals listed on the label. I also bought Celtic Sea Salt, but I didn't see the minerals listed. My wife prefers Celtic Sea Salt, because she says that it doesn't "taste as tart" as the Real Salt.
I followed your advice and put 1/4 teaspoon of the Real Salt in each quart of water that I drink. In addition I sprinkle the Real Salt on my food. My toes are getting much better now. They don't wake me up from pain anymore. I sleep like a rock.
My wife has had masses of skin tags and moles around the front of her neck and chest for several years. She had gotten where she would not wear necklaces because they would hang up on the skin tags. Recently she told me that she is noticing a difference with the skin tags. I looked at her neck and to my amazement, they are disappearing! Many of the moles are shrinking and the skin tags are going down!
What are we doing? Nothing more than drinking our water and taking the sea salt. This is truly amazing.
Thanks for your being so dedicated about the water cure. It is really helping me and my wife.
Please check out the article on my blog about the watercure. Hope you don't mind the plug. www.jprewett.typepad.com

Drew Bauman's amazing story is featured on our cancer page.
Dear Andrew,
Greetings. My name is Karie Garnier. I am 58 and I live in Canada.
I have been following your story of healing on the internet and felt compelled
to contact you. I too practice and was healed by water therapy, and was so glad
to read your story.
A bit about my healing story ~ today I'm a happily married man of modest means ~
I'm a multi-tasking artist, photographer, occasional publisher, and bit of a
filmmaker ~ according to how Spirit moves me towards serving, I have a web site
which I will highlight below in case you want to glimpse the humanitarian work
that my Filipina wife and I are doing on Fuga Island, in the northernmost tip of
the Philippines.
I too have found TREMENDOUS healing with water therapy. I first discovered it in
1981 when I was near death. And, like you, it was a literal answer to prayer.
The experience was, and still is, a total revelation.
My long multiple illness (1979-1982) which brought me to death's door, and my
subsequent healing and success with the water cure (in 1981), awakened some kind
of generosity of Spirt.
Once again, I recently needed healing for painful knees and legs which were
keeping me awake at night (probably the onset of fibromyalgia which my mother
had), so I returned to water therapy or the ancient Japanese water cure
(drinking 3.5 liters of water within 30 minutes of rising). Within 4 weeks, the
pain is gone. I feel great and sometimes, feel bursting with optimism and
overflowing with gratitude. I also received back in 1982 a complete healing of
my debilitating heart disease, thanks to the great and now late Cherokee healer
Rolling Thunder.
In gratitude, I subsequently (1983 to 1990) underwent a series of Vision Quests
(four day cleansing fasts on a mountain top under guidance of aboriginal Elders)
and for the past 23 years have been doing my Heart Work - namely The Elders
Project (1982 - 1992) and since then The Fuga Island Project (you'll see some on
the Web Site). Now, as I approach Elderhood, I'm doing a bit of traveling and
giving talks about my personal knowledge of the two most powerful things I know:
water therapy and the Vision Quest.
Would also like to share that 10 days ago, with my two teenage children, I
attended a traditional four-day Medicine Wheel hosted by First Nations (Native
Canadian) Elders in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. The healing event was
attended by 400, including many fine people from around the world who were sick
(Physical, Emotional, Spiritual etc). Real miracles happened there for me and
many others, thanks to the ancient, time-honored healing practices that are
NATURAL. One of the blessings of the powerful event is, like the water cure, it
is totally free. There is no charge for anyone; and all meals are free.
Talk about generosity of Spirit.
Anyway, I would love to hear from you.
PS - do you ever come to Canada? If so, come by and visit us; see the ancient
rock paintings that surround Slocan Lake. Some of the sites are downright
numinous!
With hopes that we can chat by email.
May God continue to Bless You!
Karie Garnier,
Slocan Valley, BC

To: Bob Butts <watercure2@comcast.net>
Hi Bob, You asked if I stopped alcohol & caffeine, I never take anything with caffeine, though I do have had about 2 ounces of wine ( about twice a month) :when I do have a little wine I drink two glasses of water extra right afterward. My husband, Dave, is doing this with me (he has had kidney stones and a constant running nose) and he is feeling alot better and his sinuses are clear. I've cut his caffeine to one small cup of tea a day. (I'm amazed he went along with that!!) I have read and reread Dr. Batmanghelidge's books on Asthma, and Health, healing... You're not sick you're thirsty" The salt I am using at this point is Pink Salt from the Himalayan mountains No additives of any kind. also a Grey Sea salt from the coast of France. I will try to get the Real Salt. Since I received your e-mail yesterday I bumped up my salt to almost the 3/4 tsp ( I am still getting into the habit of salting food!) and I can FEEL my sinuses draining and I feel better.. no headache today. Thank you Bob.. I can't wait to e-mail you with all the good results.. I am hopeful to go back to my Cardiologist in September AND my pulmonary specialist as well and be able to show them how well I am without all those drugs. My blood pressure is averaging 110/77 these last two days.. imagine how good things will be as I lose weight and continue exercising.. something I have not yet done these last two months due to chronic asthma and illness.. something I think I can say good bye to now. Sincerely IN HIM Barbara Laurie

I have been off coffee for about 2 months now and have been doing the Water Cure for 2-3 weeks, at the rate of 1 gallon or more per day. The wrinkled skin on the back of my hands has greatly improved. The chronic swelling in my knee has diminished a lot. I can bend my knee joint much better now. This knee has been this way for 2 or 3 years. The slight numbness in the foot of that leg is GONE. I look forward to more improvements.
Thanks

Now I consider myself a lucky doctor that I was introduced to water therapy. My success rate has gone up many fold. Before I used to treat for two or three weeks to get results. Since incorporating the water cure results have been seen in just a matter of days. I have been working on a variety of ailments, especially asthma, angina, intermittent cludication, arthritis and peptic ulcers. The results are very promising.

I have been on Dr. Batmanghelidj’s “Water Cure” for about 3 ½ months.
I had quite a few problems to begin with. Sinus problems, chronic headaches, stomach problems, ulcers and back pain. It seems the water program took care of them all! I was under a doctor’s care for my back and stomach problems and I was never a big fan for taking drugs though I did try some for these conditions but then backed off. With the water, it seemed to work and didn’t cost anything. My doctors are aware of the changes in me. They really didn’t have any response; in fact, they were shocked with the process I went about doing. They were kind of amazed at this. I sure hoped they would pass this advice along to other patients. Many of the problems people are experiencing can be cured with just water and salt instead of drugs.
I am a partner with Santarelli Brothers and we have about 16 employees. They are now aware of the Water Cure program too. One employee had sinus problems for the last 20 years and after 2 ½ months he says it seems to have corrected his problems.
I have told other people I have met here and here and even tell doctors about it when I meet them. Some say, “Boy, it sort of makes sense.” It’s like someone threw a brick at them. They may even try it themselves? I was even playing golf when I told some people. On the course there is a lot of people with back problems. I tell them they can be cured with just water and salt. I think the government is more concerned with illegal drug related deaths and they may be looking past the legal drugs themselves. They’re not trying to correct what I think is causing more deaths than the legal drugs.
It seems so simple and easy, yet, it’s FREE! So many people don’t believe it, but if they tried it, they would see that it could correct many illnesses I have discussed this with other business owners and imagine if their employees tried it, they would cut down on sick time. SO EASY TO DO! You just put a quart of water on your desk and drink it. When you fill it back up, you have your 2 quarts before you know it.
It doesn’t cost you anything to try this. And as I said, it may take a few days to work if your body is really dehydrated. It took me about a month and from there, it just took off! It’s amazing something so simple, like 1 plus 1 is two, could help so much. I have such success with this; I don’t have a problem with this testimonial to circulate.
I want to spread the word! Every one should hear this and listen!!

Thank
you for what you are doing to inform people about the water cure. I am trying it
and have already had some relief from my dry, burning eyes (after a few days). I
also have Parkinsonism and many little aches and pains. We'll see! About the web
site, I have a suggestion. It would be "so" much easier to read
without the background graphic, which really interferes with the words one is
trying to read. A plain white background would be nice. Sincerely.

Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj,
Thank you for your book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water." I have
purchased copies for my children as they are all dehydrated and need water but
they look at me as though I'm crazy even after seeing their mother and how she
has lost weight, cured a "whiplash" neck problem she has had for over
20 years and cured a migraine headache problem she has suffered from for 20
years also. My wife also no longer suffers from allergies and I could go on and
on. We are both eternally grateful to you for this knowledge.
It's too bad people think it can't work because it's too simple and free.
I have been diagnosed with a benign prostate gland and have difficulty getting
sleep at night so the temptation to cut back on my water intake is always there.
Is there something I can do to solve my problem (short of drugs). I've tried saw
palmetto but it doesn't seem to help.

First I would like to express my deepest thanks and gratitude to Mr. Robert Butts and to you Dr. Batmanghelidj for your unselfish determination in bringing the importance of a healthy diet and adequate water consumption, 2 quarts mimumum per day, to my attention. It is this writer's belief that these two men are solely responsible for saving my life. Until then, I drank about 15 cups of coffee a day and no water.
Three months ago, I was physically and mentally in shambles. I was suffering from severe chest pains, shortness of breath and lack of energy. I had visited physicians that had all the wrong answers. They prescribed medications and expensive test procedures. The outcome was depletion of my funds and patience, however, I was still left with ill health.
After reading material provided by Dr. Batmanghelidj I discovered the answers to my problems were as clear as the nose on my face. For as always in life, during a crisis, we are so consumed with the problem that we forget the basics of what we are, which is 78% water. During a physical crisis of ill health, we usually follow the traditional avenues of medicine, tests and surgery when nine out of ten times the answer is as close as the faucet on the kitchen sink. We as human beings possess the most magnificent machinery of biological wonder but like all machinery it requires lubrication. If not properly maintained, it simply becomes rusty and shuts down. It is ironic that we give our possessions so much attention ( like making sure our cars, trucks, lawn mowers are gassed and greased), yet though our ignorance and inattention we ignore the greatest machines of all............... OURSELVES!
With the knowledge I have gained, I now possess good health and clarity of thought that I haven't enjoyed in quite a long time. I owe this to the simplicity of adequate water intake, proper diet and vitamin and mineral supplements. In closing, I would like to say, we are all unique and wonderful and deserving the best of treatment that we can give ourselves. Replenish your body and your life - DRINK WATER!

I have been writing this letter to you for over two years now. I just wanted to
take the opportunity now to finally thank you and Connie for enlightening me
about the "Water Cure."
I first heard about this on the radio as part of your CK Auto commercial and then again while you were being interviewed by Bob Perks That was the day I decided to call you. You invited me to come to your office to meet you and to discuss the program. I must say, I was very skeptical and was sure there would be some type of purchase required. At this point I didn't care. As I related to you that day, I had been suffering for many years with night-time leg cramps and lower back pain. I also was suffering from occasional flare-ups from my diverticulitis problem. Needless to say, there was absolutely no cost involved. Your enthusiasm was so genuine and you freely shared all of the information.
The next day I immediately put the plan into effect. I gave up caffeine
completely and made sure that I drank the right amount of water. Bob, by the
third day I could not believe it! My leg cramps disappeared completely and my
back pain had been greatly reduced. I also gave up taking 2- tbs of
"Metamucil" and six "Tylenol" tablets ever day. During those
first months of enjoying being pain free I was able to focus on the more
important aspects of my life. I have revisited some of my old dreams and have
actually achieved some of them and am pursuing many more. I am happy to report
to you that today I feel fantastic. I have the energy that had when I was a
young man. I have lost twenty five pounds and have maintained a weight of
between 175 and 180 lbs. I am proud to say that I am a water cure advocate and
have shared this with everyone I know. Please keep up the good work.

Regarding Dr. Batmanghelidj's Water Cure, I started increasing my water
consumption about three months ago, I began to feel better and younger to the
point where I put off an early retirement at age 70, and continue to work full
time with no immediate retirement in mind. I further became convinced to drink
more water when I read Dr. Batmanghelidjs book, and attended his two hour
seminar. Dr. Batmanghelidj's book entitled "Your Body's Many Cries for
Water" should be changed to "Your Millions of Body Cells Cry for
Water." I learned at the seminar that all of your cells require a
sufficient amount of water to function properly, and if I don't give them enough
water, many of our common ailments and sicknesses are the end result. I have
recognized that when my body signals thirst, I now reach for a glass of water
instead of a cup of coffee or a soda.
I have always been conscious of my health by exercising and eating good wholesome food. Now I have added the eight classes of water which I now consider the missing link to even better health.
I thank many people in Northeastern Pennsylvania for encouraging me to drink more water, and I in turn have been encouraging my relatives, friends, employees and customers to do the same. I usually start a conversation by asking how much they drink. If they say very little, I encourage them to drink more as per the previous mentioned reasons, If they say they drink a lot of water, I do notice that healthy sparkle in their eyes.
I belong to the local YMCA and when I'm doing my round on the Nautilus equipment, I do notice the healthy looking bodybuilders making frequent trips to the water fountain. As I am writing this letter, I have an 8oz glass of clear, sparkling, cool water at my side.
One last thing, I also follow Dr. Batmanghefidj's advice that if you are going, to drink the required amount of water daily, you need to add a little bit of salt back into your system.

It is a pleasure to sit down and chronicle the effects that this lifestyle change has meant to me, both professionally and personally. On a professional basis, I was asked to listen to a tape called "Your Bodies Many Cries for Water." A.W.A.N.E.’s Executive Director Dick Healy thought it important as manager of A.W.A.N.E.’s employee assistance program to help this health concept involving water. Dick also ordered additional books and videotapes for me to read and view. The tape immediately created a desire in me to adopt its suggestions. I began this lifestyle change on June 10 and began drinking 2 to 3 gallons daily. Since that start date I have:
I have eliminated the diuretics mentioned in the book and have lost a taste and craving for those products.I look forward to meeting you at our convention in December.
