The Sensation of Pain
Pain and Prescriptions- do you Really need Water?
The human body is 75% water, the human brain 85% Outside the use of antibiotics on bacterial infections chemical treatments are pallative and none seem curative.
- Hypertension is not generally cured it is treated during the lifetime of a person.
- Peptic Ulcer is not cured, one must have antacids nearby at all times
- Allergies are not cured, the person is depending on medications.
- Arthritis is not cured, it eventually cripples.
Once you feel thirst, you are already dehydrated. Peptic ulcers often respond to water alone. Extensive research has proven that the body has sophisticated thirst signals during regulation of it in times of dehydration. There are three basic stages to water regulation of the bod in the different phases of life. 1. The stage of life of a fetus in the uterus of the mother2.
The phase of growth until full height an width is achieved ( approx 18-25)3. From fully grown until death.
The first indicator of dehydration of a fetus is reflected as morning sickness in the fetus and the mother. A gradually declining thirst sensation occurs with age. With increase in age, if a person who does not drink sufficiently, the cells content of water decreases drastically. A decrease in water consumption affects cell efficiency. Because of this, chronic dehydration shows up as symptoms of disease.
Adding medications, is not the answer. Water is not only a solvent and means of transport. Water drives all of the chemical reactions which create life. The osmotic flow of water through membranes help neurotransmission in the body. Water also acts as an adhesive sticking solid structures in the cell membranes together.
What are Some of the Life Sustaining Properties of Water?
- Protein and enzymes are more efficient in less viscous solutions.
- As the body becomes more and more dehydrated in the interior of cells, the body is less accurate at recognizing thirst. This is a process of aging.
- Water, the solvent of the body, regulates all functions, including the activity of the solutes it dissolves and circulates. When the body becomes dehydrated, the body begins a drought management priority system. Histamine
-directed neurotransmitters become active that promote thirst signals. When chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma and chronic pain occur, one should be aware that the body is under an emergency water
-shortage crisis. Pain is an indicator that there are chemical changes around the nerves moitoring acid/alkali balance.
The warning mechanisms designed to protect the cells from excess acid buildup which could “burn” the cell membrane and inner cell structures. The pain sensation will accelerate if the cry for water is not heard. The body is trying to prevent additional production of toxic waste.
