WATER RETENTION

Adults who suddenly increase their body weight may have an increase in fatty (adipose) tissue, accumulation of fluid (edema) or both disorders. Weight gain in excess of two pounds per day usually implies excess fluid retention. It is easy to confirm this by comparing the body weight in the morning and then again in the evening. Weight gains of less than two pounds during one day usually will subside by the following morning. Fluid retention may disclose increased salt and water intake or decreased sodium and water secretion.
Checking weight changes from morning to evening often provides early evidence of disease. Dietary indiscretion, the use of diuretics, excessive intake of licorice root, or a cortisol-type drug preparation may also be responsible. A special type of fluid retention called cyclic edema occurs predominantly in women. This is characterized by periodic episodes of fluid retention, frequently accompanied by distention of the abdomen, Patients may weigh several pounds more in the evening than in the morning. Although there is some relation to the menstrual cycle, evidence suggests also that psychological and hormonal factors may be related. The treatment of cyclic edema includes restriction in salt intake, rest in the feet elevated (supine) position for several hours during the day, and the use of elastic stockings.

Careful medical work-up is sometimes indicated to evaluate underlying causes.

Pure Water Helps Keep Body Clean Inside

To have a clean, healthy bloodstream and arteries free from encrustation and corrosion, we must not only eat correctly but also drink the right fluids. The liquids which go into our bodies must be pure and nourishing.

To begin with, we believe that every person should have the equivalent of 8 to 10 glasses of pure distilled water every day. It can be obtained in most supermarkets, grocery stores and health stores. If you cannot find it readily, look under water in the yellow pages of your telephone directory for local bottled water suppliers.
Distilled water has no inorganic minerals to deposit on the walls of the arteries and other pipes of the body. In contrast, most sources of well, spring and river waters all contain inorganic minerals and some even have toxic chemicals which cannot ever be utilized in the body chemistry. They corrode the human pipes just as they do the plumbing pipes which bring water into your home.

Vegetable and Fruit Juices Contain Mother Nature’s Distilled Water

No new water has been put on the face of Mother Earth since it was originally formed. Just as the same energy is formed and re-formed, so the same water is used and re-used over and over again by the miracle of Mother Nature. Waters of the earth are purified by distillation. The sun evaporates the water which is collected into clouds. When the clouds become full we have rain and dew – pure, perfectly clean, distilled water, free of all harmful inorganic substances, until polluted! Years ago, when the late Douglas Fairbanks, Senior, and Dad were close friends, they roamed the South Sea Islands for several months. During that trip Dad came upon an island inhabited by beautiful, healthy Polynesians who drank only distilled water because the island was surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. Their island was based on porous coral which could not hold water – so they would only drink rain water or the fresh, clear, clean water of the green coconut. Dad had never seen any finer specimens of humanity than these native South Sea Islanders. There were several doctors on the yacht who thoroughly examined the most mature people on these islands. One heart doctor stated that he had never in his life examined such healthy, well-preserved people. You may have noted we said only the most mature people were examined by the doctors. They were so completely unaware of age that no such word existed in their language! They never celebrated birthdays, so they were forever young – gloriously ageless, not only in years but in body. These older men performed as well in the vigorous native dances as the younger men. They were all beautiful human specimens because they lived their lengthy lives drinking only pure distilled water, eating natural foods and enjoying a healthy lifestyle.
