'Silent epidemic' steals energy

by Brian D. Foltz and Joe Ferrara, PhD

Chronic dehydration robs your body of energy. For every one percent loss of water inside your cells, energy production is reduced by 10%! In tests of hundreds of patients for dehydration, it was found that well over 80% were dehydrated -- most of them between two percent and four percent. That means trillions of your cells are NOT producing 20-40% of the energy required to maintain optimal cell function and overall health. This causes accelerated aging and premature health problems.

Mild or moderate long-term dehydration causes or contributes to a long list of health problems, including (but certainly not limited to): energy loss, chronic fatigue, allergies, asthma, high blood pressure, stubborn weight gain, depression, anxiety, toxicity, blood sugar imbalances, joint pain, headaches and immune system dysfunction.

As we age, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain optimal hydration and optimal health.

One of the most interesting findings in our clinical experience is the direct relationship between a patient's health and their level of hydration. Every patient we see with a long-term health problem also has a long-term hydration problem.

You may wonder why dehydration is such a big problem. After all, water is everywhere and all you need to do is drink more of it, right? Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Every day, over and over again, we hear the same question from patients: "How can I be dehydrated? I drink lots of water!" The problem is that the water they drink is not effectively getting into their cells.

The primary cause of chronic dehydration

Today's drinking water lacks the energy to effectively hydrate the cells. Understanding how water lost so much of its natural energy begins with understanding the miraculous nature of water itself. Water energizes everything. It is the most sensitive and dynamic substance on Earth.

Water has a unique ability to hold and transfer the specific energetic vibrations of substances it is exposed to. Every substance radiates its own energy as a unique vibrational pattern or frequency. The reason the Great White Shark can smell blood over one mile away is because the blood's energetic frequencies (not the blood itself) are rapidly transferred outward through the ocean's water.

However, the miracle of water is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, water makes all forms of life on Earth possible. On the other hand, water is so sensitive and such an effective carrier of energy that its life-giving energy can easily be altered by the extremely potent and harmful energy of manmade substances and processes.

Today, after a century of massive environmental abuse (pollution, deforestation, nuclear testing, etc.), the energetic quality of all Earth's drinking water has been permanently degraded to the point that it can no longer optimize hydration. Nature simply can't purify and energize fresh water fast enough to keep pace with humanity's relentless violation of natural processes.

Modern technology can purify water, but purification systems cannot restore water's natural vital energy. There are many different technologies that attempt improve the quality of water. Virtually all of them are artificial and not based on how nature does it. One bottled water company ultra purifies municipal tap water, and then adds oxygen and ultrasound energy to raise the osmotic pressure. This artificially pushes the water into the cells for a short term effect. Nature doesn't do that.

Learning from nature

Nature purifies and energizes water with the two primary forces: motion and vibration. As water travels through an ideal natural water cycle in a pristine mountain forest, its motion, as it falls, swirls, spins (vortex), folds, bubbles and flows, causes the water to be highly energized with beneficial energetic properties. As water is moving through this cycle, it's also exposed to specific vibrational frequencies from the energy fields of the earth, soil, bedrock, minerals and vegetation. These two forces combine to form a combination of energetic properties that are ideal for hydrating your body.

How effectively water hydrates is determined by its energetic properties. Your body is a highly organized complex of vibrating energy systems that uses vibrational frequencies as its primary language. This was proven in 1999 when Gunter Blobel won the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology. He proved cells use frequencies to find and transport protein (peptides) and nutrients to the cells that need them.

Most water looks the same. However, the variations of energy in water from different sources can be huge. Masaru Emoto, a water researcher from Japan, proved this concept by photographing different waters as they crystallized into ice. The difference between the ugly pictures of tap water and polluted water compared to the beautiful snowflake pictures of natural spring water are dramatic.

The biophysics of hydration

Hydration is not well understood by most people. It's not like filling up your car's gas tank. Optimal hydration is an optimal relationship between the dynamic flow of water between the inside and the outside of your cells. The fluid that surrounds the cells -- your extracellular matrix -- largely determines the health of those cells. Thus, the energetics of the fluid that surrounds your cells is of primary importance. Many substances contribute to the energy of that extracellular fluid (e.g. electrolytes, etc.), but the energy of the water you drink has the most powerful influence.

In order to optimize hydration, the first thing to do is drink water that is bio-compatible with the energetics of the water in the body. It must have a sufficient quantity of energy and the specific frequencies that nature provides under ideal conditions. When you drink water with energy that does not match the needs of the extracellular matrix, it can not maintain an optimal inflow-outflow relationship (hydration).

The solution: Bringing nature back to water

As a chiropractor, your treatments restore natural energy flows so the body can heal itself. Similarly, a natural hydration technology was developed that restores the natural energy of water by duplicating how nature energizes water with motion and vibration. By simply adding drops of this new product to any clean drinking water, your water can be re-energized the way nature intended for optimal hydration and cellular energy production. This natural approach is unlike all other products, which try to artificially improve water. The benefits to your patients of reversing chronic dehydration are immediate and can often times be dramatic. The most common benefit is a noticeable boost of natural energy.
