I heard you on Art Bell last night. I had to tell you my story. Last August I started having back pain that got worse and worse. I finally
went to the doctor. He tested me for muscle and bone problems but could find nothing wrong. Then he tested and found that even though I
couldn't tell, I had blood in my urine. He sent me to get an IVP xray to see if I had a kidney stone. They had to do two IVP tests and a
catscan before they discovered that I did. I eventually had to have it
surgically removed, but that did not happen until October. The urologist told me that I probably developed the stone because I was
dehydrated. He told me to drink more water.
During the time I had the stone, I read everything I could find about kidney stones. One of the books I checked out of the library gave reference to Your Body's Many Cries For Water. After reading the book, I decided to drink two 1-litre bottles of water each day and stop drinking soft drinks alltogether.
I soon found out that by starting early in the morning and carrying my water bottle with me that I could easily drink 4 1-litre bottles a day.
Since I started drinking the water I have gone from 197lbs. to 165lbs in three months without making any other major changes to my diet.
I was told that once you form a kidney stone, it is likely you will form more. It is coming on one year since my first, and I have not had a recurrence of a kidney stone.
The experience has made me think a lot about what I put into my body. I will be a water drinker the rest of my life.
Thank you very much for the work you are doing.
Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness ; Break up your fallow ground , For it is time to seek the Lord Until He comes to rain righteousness on you. Hosea 10:12

Thank you so very much for your book Your Body's Many Cries For Water. It
has radically changed my life for the better, As a registered nurse, I was at
first skeptical but tried it. An inmate can do very little for themselves to
obtain medical care. Prison health services are not generally very high quality,
nor easy to access when needed. This new paradigm relating to water is wonderful
medicine. When I first inquired about the book I was in
severe pain from both my kidneys and lower intestines. My urinary output was
very low, only urinating small amounts twice a day. The urine was concentrated
and dark. My bowels were chronically constipated. Initially I started with 60 to
70 ounces of water per day. This helped some, but not as much as I had hoped.
After increasing my water intake to 120 to 150 ounces per day I have found that
it has relieved the pains and increased urine output to normal. As an added
blessing, my mental attitude has also greatly improved, I had been sad,
withdrawn and chronically tired. Now I have more energy, an inner peace, and my
mental outlook is better. It has become a brighter day for me without the pains,
worry over an illness, and to find mental peace.
I have spread word of your work and the water treatment to my friends, family, and the health service staff. Some have embraced your teaching's. Those who do not, have been challenged to try it and see, "it cost's nothing to go to the tap and get a drink. Your good health is worth eight glasses of water.
Thank you again for your work and kindness towards me.
