Learn to understand when your body is calling for water! In this book, and as a result of his extensive clinical and scientific research, Dr. Batmanghelidj exposes for the layman a new discovery: that the body possesses many different thirst signals. It is now apparent that many different symptoms and signs for showing the body’s comparative dehydration have until now been viewed as classical diseases of the body.  In this book the reasons are given why as a result of an age-dependent loss of the thirst sensation in humans, dyspeptic pain, rheumatoid joint pain, anginal pain, hypertension, asthma, allergy, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome and diabetes in the elderly are either the primary indicators or the consequences of a settled-in dehydration.  The fourth dimension of time is now being introduced into the practice of medicine, making it possible in the future to prevent and even cure some of the “classical diseases” of the body.  Dr. Batmanghelidj thinks once the public becomes aware of the paradigm shift in medicine and begins to realize there are no commercial aims at encouraging them to treat their body’s dehydration with water, a science-based transformation of the health-care system will become a welcome reality.  This is probably the most important book you will ever read on health matters in your hopefully long life. With your help, the information contained in this book will change the health-care system in this country.
