“Water Can Heal”
“You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty”
In a conference held in Romania, Japanese researcher Masaru Emote presented, through images and experiments, the idea that water may have the ability to store and transmit information.
According to him, water has “the power to give rise to all things and to retain information.” The human body is largely composed of water. At birth, the body contains over 80% water, while in adulthood this proportion is around 70%. As we age, this percentage gradually decreases.
Emoto emphasised that water plays a fundamental role in transforming energy and information within the body.
His experiments suggested that water may respond to external influences. He proposed that the structure of water can change depending on:
- prayers and intentions
- music
- words and emotions
- images or visual forms
During his presentations, he showed images of water crystals exposed to different types of music, such as works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
He suggested that when the water in our bodies is exposed to harmony and beauty – such as pleasant music or positive words – it may influence our overall state.
“Music is a form of healing,” Emoto stated, suggesting that one day music could be used as a therapeutic tool.
His message was simple:
- drink enough water
- surround yourself with positive images
- listen to harmonious music
- use positive words
Water and Health
Independently of Emoto’s research, Iranian-American physician Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, author of the book You’re Not Sick, You’re Thirsty, reached similar conclusions through practical observation.
While imprisoned in India for political reasons, he observed that many inmates suffered from abdominal pain and stomach spasms. Initially, he believed these symptoms were caused by stress.
Due to the lack of medication, he began giving them water in different forms: plain water, water with salt, or water with minerals. To his surprise, in about 90% of cases, the symptoms improved or disappeared.
This led him to believe that many health problems may be linked to dehydration.
After his release, he continued his research and promoted the idea that many symptoms could be related to insufficient hydration.
The Role of Water in the Body
The human body depends heavily on water for normal functioning.
According to presentations by researcher Ralph Vornehm, many structures in the body contain a very high percentage of water:
- brain – about 90% water
- neurotransmitters – about 90%
- cartilage – about 90%
- blood – about 80%
This high water content highlights its essential role in communication within the body and in the functioning of the nervous system.
When the body is dehydrated, internal signals may become weaker or misinterpreted. For example, the sensation of thirst may become less noticeable over time.
Many biological processes depend on proper cellular hydration. Cells are not in direct contact with each other but are surrounded by a fluid environment.
Water at the Cellular Level
Cells contain water both inside and outside their structure. The constant exchange between these two environments helps maintain normal cellular function.
When the body does not receive enough water, imbalances may occur at the cellular level.
Some theories suggest that, in such situations, the body activates protective mechanisms. For example, cholesterol may help protect cell membranes from water loss.
In this context, cholesterol levels may increase as an adaptive response. Some observations suggest that proper hydration may help reduce cholesterol levels in certain cases.
Water, Digestion, and Blood Circulation
Blood is largely composed of water, and proper hydration is important for both circulation and digestion.
It is recommended to drink water about 30 minutes before meals, to ensure adequate hydration before digestion begins.
During digestion, blood transports nutrients absorbed from food. If the body is dehydrated, the blood may become thicker and draw water from other tissues to support digestion.
Some people may experience symptoms after meals, such as:
- coughing
- heart discomfort
- abdominal cramps
These symptoms can have multiple causes, but proper hydration may support normal body function.
Dehydration and Pain
According to hypotheses proposed by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, many types of pain in the body may be signals of dehydration.Water is essential for many functions in the body:
He suggested that the body uses pain as a warning sign indicating the need for water.
In daily life, people often use medication to relieve pain. In many cases, these medications are taken with water, and hydration itself may contribute to improving overall condition.
The Importance of Hydration
Water is essential for many functions in the body:
- transporting nutrients
- elimination of toxins
- supporting the nervous system
- maintaining body temperature
- supporting joint and cartilage health
Proper hydration supports the normal functioning of all organs and helps maintain overall balance.
Conclusion: Maintaining adequate water intake is an essential part of good health and supports the proper functioning of the body.
