Water was given to us by
a loving creator for luxury
00:00:01.96\00:00:05.83
and utility, it has so many
uses and of course it's awfully
00:00:05.87\00:00:10.27
pleasant to use water, so
we hope that you will stay by
00:00:10.31\00:00:14.44
with us in this program when we
discuss the benefits of water.
00:00:14.48\00:00:17.75
Welcome to Help
Yourself To Health
00:00:37.93\00:00:40.44
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:40.47\00:00:43.64
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:43.67\00:00:46.68
Water is the most abundant
compound on the face of the
00:00:46.71\00:00:52.08
earth, we see it everywhere,
we see it in the air, we see it
00:00:52.11\00:00:55.82
on the land, we see it as rain,
and we also have it coming out
00:00:55.85\00:01:00.19
of our pipes into our own homes.
00:01:00.22\00:01:02.12
In all of these ways we can
say that our Divine Designer
00:01:02.16\00:01:06.80
has made it so that this earth
is a user friendly place for us,
00:01:06.83\00:01:12.17
user friendly because we have
everything that we need that
00:01:12.20\00:01:15.70
makes us so that we can enjoy
the earth that the Lord has made
00:01:15.74\00:01:20.58
for us, now John Champen who is
a health educator at Uchee Pines
00:01:20.61\00:01:25.11
will be assisting me in our
discussion of water and at this
00:01:25.15\00:01:30.29
time John Champen will
talk with you about some of the
00:01:30.32\00:01:33.05
benefits of
water inside the body.
00:01:33.09\00:01:35.16
- Thank you! We understand that
water comprises most of what
00:01:35.19\00:01:41.00
we really are, our graphics
here today is going to show us
00:01:41.03\00:01:46.23
just what we are:
00:01:46.27\00:01:47.97
That's a lot of water,
what does it do for us?
00:02:02.08\00:02:05.79
The second graphics will show
that some of the things that
00:02:05.82\00:02:08.79
water does for
us within the body:
00:02:08.82\00:02:10.89
Which we constantly need, the
body is constantly giving off
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.20
waste, every cell that functions
gives off waste and the body
00:02:16.23\00:02:20.47
has to get rid of it, water
is the meaning for doing that.
00:02:20.50\00:02:22.90
It cleanses the body tissues
and invigorates the vital organs
00:02:22.94\00:02:26.71
and proper use promotes health,
it promotes vigor and health.
00:02:26.74\00:02:32.61
Some a little bit more and
some a little bit less depending
00:02:42.89\00:02:45.36
upon their body structure.
00:02:45.39\00:02:46.73
Through our eyes alone, every
time we blink, every time our
00:03:08.48\00:03:12.29
eyes are open moisture is
being lost through that medium.
00:03:12.32\00:03:16.86
Dr. Thrash what about
water outside the body?
00:03:50.26\00:03:53.26
- We might think with all
these benefits of water inside
00:03:53.29\00:03:56.87
the body that that
would completely exhaust the
00:03:56.90\00:04:00.40
capabilities of water for
us, but far from that there are
00:04:00.44\00:04:04.87
many benefits of water outside
the body and Don Miller is going
00:04:04.91\00:04:10.21
to be telling us some things
about water on the outside
00:04:10.25\00:04:13.42
of the body as well, and water
outside the body can be used
00:04:13.45\00:04:17.69
to treat and to prevent disease
and to reduce various symptoms
00:04:17.72\00:04:23.49
that we get so at this point
Don Miller will talk with us
00:04:23.53\00:04:27.43
about some ways that
water is used outside the body.
00:04:27.46\00:04:30.40
- You know we all use water
outside the body when we take
00:04:30.43\00:04:33.20
something as simple
as a bath or a shower.
00:04:33.23\00:04:35.17
I remember a few years ago
I wanted some outdoor activity
00:04:35.20\00:04:40.28
so I decided to do something
different from what I was doing
00:04:40.31\00:04:43.11
so I took a job planting
trees in the upper peninsula of
00:04:43.14\00:04:47.25
Michigan in September, now
it gets pretty cold up there
00:04:47.28\00:04:50.85
and I remember going out that
first day of planting trees,
00:04:50.89\00:04:55.29
and planting trees is a hard,
dirty, exhausting, sweaty job
00:04:55.32\00:04:59.29
even if it is cool out and
I spent the whole day with my
00:04:59.33\00:05:02.33
Hoedad putting trees in the
ground, putting trees is in the
00:05:02.60\00:05:05.03
ground, at the end of the day
I was tired and I was also dirty
00:05:05.07\00:05:09.84
and there is one thing that
I can't do, I cannot go to bed
00:05:09.87\00:05:12.01
dirty, especially if you have
a sleeping bag, you figure I've
00:05:12.04\00:05:14.88
got to get into that
sleeping bag for the next month
00:05:14.91\00:05:17.21
and if I go in there every night
dirty I wouldn't be able to
00:05:17.25\00:05:20.55
survive and so I said
I have to take a bath.
00:05:20.58\00:05:22.28
Now my tent didn't have a
bath tub, shower, Jacuzzi,
00:05:22.32\00:05:25.12
nothing, so I started looking
around for a place to take a
00:05:25.15\00:05:27.79
bath, now we are out in the
middle of nowhere, in the woods,
00:05:27.82\00:05:30.23
and I took a walk through the
woods and I came upon a lake,
00:05:30.26\00:05:34.00
this nice big lake and there
was nothing around some moose
00:05:34.03\00:05:38.13
and some bear, but nothing else
just me, moose, and bear in this
00:05:38.17\00:05:42.14
very very cold water.
00:05:42.17\00:05:43.51
I decided I've got to take
a bath in this water, and that
00:05:43.54\00:05:46.71
was a very tough decision
to make because it was truly
00:05:46.74\00:05:49.34
cold water, so I went back
and got my towel, a change of
00:05:49.38\00:05:53.62
clothes and my bar of soap
and I stood there for a few
00:05:53.65\00:05:56.38
moments getting up the nerve
and I finally disrobed and I
00:05:56.42\00:05:59.55
jumped into this
very frigidly cold water.
00:05:59.59\00:06:02.89
It was quite an exhilarating
experience, I've never taken
00:06:02.92\00:06:06.03
a bath so fast in my
life, I suspect I was in and out
00:06:06.06\00:06:08.56
in 20 seconds, but I was clean
and I think that all the dirt
00:06:08.60\00:06:12.43
just froze and fell off.
00:06:12.47\00:06:13.80
As soon as I got out and dried
00:06:13.84\00:06:15.54
off and put on my clothes
this wonderful glow came over my
00:06:15.57\00:06:19.31
body, it was the most wonderful
feeling that I ever had, because
00:06:19.34\00:06:22.61
what happens when you get
into a water situation you are
00:06:22.64\00:06:26.51
increasing your circulation
and we know the saying that says
00:06:26.55\00:06:29.92
perfect health requires perfect
circulation, and hydrotherapy
00:06:29.95\00:06:34.72
is all about circulation, we
realize that we have good blood
00:06:34.79\00:06:38.23
by eating good food and
if we get that good blood
00:06:38.26\00:06:41.00
everywhere we are going to
feel good and I felt great.
00:06:41.03\00:06:44.27
I'm going to tell you about one
simple hydrotherapy technique,
00:06:44.30\00:06:47.97
the one I just mentioned and
I call that a short cold bath
00:06:48.00\00:06:50.81
which is a very effective
method, as a matter of fact
00:06:50.84\00:06:53.84
who are know for their longevity
always take tepid to cool baths
00:06:53.88\00:07:01.75
this habit of taking hot
baths all the time is really
00:07:01.78\00:07:05.19
debilitating to our system.
00:07:05.22\00:07:06.76
Hot baths are what we consider
therapeutic baths so I'm going
00:07:06.79\00:07:12.03
to show you what we call a
contrast bath and it takes some
00:07:12.06\00:07:15.93
pretty simple equipment, you
have a basin and basically in
00:07:15.96\00:07:19.20
the basin you put some water
and since it is contrast that
00:07:19.23\00:07:23.10
means that the
water is contrasted.
00:07:23.14\00:07:25.04
First basin will be hot water,
the second basin would be cold
00:07:25.07\00:07:29.14
water, let's say you have an
infected hand, or you sprained
00:07:29.18\00:07:33.45
your hand and after the first
36 hours of a sprain where you
00:07:33.48\00:07:37.19
only use ice then you go to
a contrast bath, and I did this
00:07:37.22\00:07:40.92
one time with my ankle, sprained
my ankle, iced it down for the
00:07:40.96\00:07:44.66
first 24- 36 hours and
then I did a contrast bath,
00:07:44.69\00:07:49.73
I put my foot down into this
bucket of very very warm water
00:07:49.76\00:07:54.64
as warm as I can tolerate it,
left it there for three minutes
00:07:54.67\00:07:58.84
after three minutes I took
my foot out and I put it down
00:07:58.87\00:08:02.11
into a basin of cold water,
as cold as I could make it,
00:08:02.14\00:08:06.31
for thirty seconds and I went
back and forth, back and forth
00:08:06.35\00:08:09.78
between the hot water and
the cold water, two days after
00:08:09.82\00:08:15.26
I sprained my ankle I had
very little pain the third day
00:08:15.29\00:08:18.69
no limp no pain but my foot was
completely purple from the fact
00:08:18.73\00:08:23.20
that I truly had sprained it.
00:08:23.23\00:08:24.90
So you can use a treatment like
this what we call a contrast
00:08:24.93\00:08:28.20
bath three minutes in hot,
thirty seconds in cold on about
00:08:28.24\00:08:32.87
any part of your body.
00:08:32.91\00:08:34.24
A few years ago there was
a young man at Uchee Pines
00:08:34.28\00:08:38.21
who had a sinus infection
and they asked me to give him
00:08:38.25\00:08:43.15
a series of treatments,
the first treatment I gave him
00:08:43.18\00:08:45.92
what we call a fomentation
pack a sinus pack with full
00:08:45.95\00:08:49.72
fomentations, which was fine
but it wasn't as robust as I
00:08:49.76\00:08:53.60
wanted it to be and it's rather
time consuming, both of our
00:08:53.63\00:08:57.40
time was rather limited so I
decided to do a contrast bath
00:08:57.43\00:09:01.80
on the man's head.
00:09:01.84\00:09:03.17
It's hard to hold someone's
head underneath hot water for
00:09:03.20\00:09:06.17
three minutes and so I said
I better not do that he might
00:09:06.21\00:09:09.01
not survive the treatment and
so what I did was I went to a
00:09:09.04\00:09:13.62
Wal-Mart store and I brought
a snorkel, so I put the snorkel
00:09:13.65\00:09:17.15
in the man's mouth,
put his head in the water,
00:09:17.19\00:09:19.59
heat his foot, just
like ducking for apples.
00:09:20.42\00:09:22.52
He put his face in the water
was breathing naturally through
00:09:22.56\00:09:25.73
the snorkel for three minutes
and then after three minutes
00:09:25.76\00:09:28.56
was up I just tapped his
head, he would bring his head up
00:09:28.60\00:09:31.10
out of the water and go
over and put it into the ice,
00:09:31.13\00:09:34.20
I had ice floating it was
fun, put his head down in the
00:09:34.24\00:09:37.94
ice water thirty seconds, while
his head was in the ice water
00:09:37.97\00:09:41.34
I added more warm water to
the warm water bucket because
00:09:41.38\00:09:44.71
then his face could take more
warm coming from the contrast
00:09:44.75\00:09:48.32
of the cold, I would tap
his head after thirty seconds,
00:09:48.35\00:09:52.02
head come up out of the cold
water, down into the hot water
00:09:52.05\00:09:55.92
three minutes all
the time breathing.
00:09:55.96\00:09:58.23
I did that that night six
to seven times, now what's
00:09:58.26\00:10:02.76
happening when you do a
treatment like this in a
00:10:02.80\00:10:04.63
contrast bath?
00:10:04.67\00:10:06.00
First of all, when you put any
part of your body in any kind
00:10:06.03\00:10:09.44
kind of water your first
reaction is vasoconstriction
00:10:09.47\00:10:12.84
that's your first reaction
but immediately upon that first
00:10:12.87\00:10:16.75
reaction in hot water you get
vasodilatation, your vascular
00:10:16.78\00:10:20.15
system dilates as big as it
can get which is going to then
00:10:20.18\00:10:23.85
bring in more blood flow,
now why would it bring in more
00:10:23.89\00:10:26.79
First of all you only have so
much blood volume in your body
00:10:26.82\00:10:30.73
and so if you make the passage
of the blood larger more blood
00:10:30.76\00:10:34.60
is going to come in there, so
you have much more blood coming
00:10:34.63\00:10:37.27
in which is going to bring
more oxygen, more nutrients,
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.84
more white blood cells, and
more heat to the area all of
00:10:40.87\00:10:44.74
which increase the healing
process, and then when you come
00:10:44.77\00:10:49.14
out of the hot and go
into the cold you again have
00:10:49.18\00:10:51.95
vasoconstriction, so everything
tightens down but after a few
00:10:51.98\00:10:56.25
seconds in that water it starts
opening up again because the
00:10:56.28\00:10:59.62
body says look we're cold
we've got to warm this part
00:10:59.65\00:11:02.79
of the body back up.
00:11:02.82\00:11:04.16
Now a prolonged cold treatment
will after awhile go back into
00:11:04.19\00:11:09.63
sustained constriction but
normally after a short time
00:11:09.66\00:11:12.73
in cold you start getting a
vasodilatation, then you take
00:11:12.77\00:11:16.24
them out of the cold water
into the hot water full dilation
00:11:16.27\00:11:19.67
you go back and forth a few
times, like doing anything else
00:11:19.71\00:11:22.41
with exercise, you are making
your vascular system stronger
00:11:22.44\00:11:26.01
which is what I was doing
for this young man, at the same
00:11:26.05\00:11:28.58
time bringing in more nutrients
and more white blood cells
00:11:28.62\00:11:31.12
more oxygen all of which are
necessary, vital for the healing
00:11:31.15\00:11:34.89
process, he got some good
relief, opening up the vascular
00:11:34.92\00:11:40.26
system and all the passages
in his sinus passages would
00:11:40.30\00:11:44.33
cause him to drain more and
he came out of the treatments
00:11:44.37\00:11:47.20
breathing quite nicely and
was pretty much over his problem
00:11:47.24\00:11:50.57
after just one
series of treatments.
00:11:50.61\00:11:52.54
You can do this with an
arthritic hand or an arthritic
00:11:52.57\00:11:55.88
limb just putting it into
the hot and the cold water,
00:11:55.91\00:11:58.51
you get some real good
pain relief, basically any pain
00:11:58.55\00:12:02.32
any type of inflammation,
it's very good to go through the
00:12:02.35\00:12:05.59
hot and the cold treatments
and it's a lot of fun.
00:12:05.62\00:12:09.36
Let's say you've got a cold
coming on, you're just feeling
00:12:09.39\00:12:14.03
sick, you can do a contrast
shower, many people do this
00:12:14.06\00:12:17.70
all the time and I don't
advise that because if you do a
00:12:17.73\00:12:20.74
contrast shower, people say
yeah I take a hot shower and I
00:12:20.77\00:12:23.87
turn on all cold at the end,
that's therapeutic and anything
00:12:23.91\00:12:26.91
that you do therapeutically
all the time is like saying
00:12:26.94\00:12:29.44
wolf, wolf, to your body
and pretty soon the effect is
00:12:29.48\00:12:33.48
a little bit less and so
what you should basically do is
00:12:33.52\00:12:37.25
at all times do a tepid
shower but when you are not
00:12:37.29\00:12:40.82
feeling good take that
hot shower turn it on all cold
00:12:40.86\00:12:44.59
as long as your heart can
stand it or tepid if your heart
00:12:44.63\00:12:47.70
is not quite as strong
and then go back to hot, cold,
00:12:47.73\00:12:50.87
hot, cold, about five to six
changes and you will find that
00:12:50.90\00:12:54.74
your immune
system's been increased.
00:12:54.77\00:12:56.60
After a treatment like
that or any of these treatments
00:12:56.64\00:12:59.21
you want to dry off and lay
down and rest for about an hour
00:12:59.24\00:13:02.44
and you will find that something
as simple as a plastic bucket
00:13:02.48\00:13:06.35
full of hot and cold water
is going to give some marvelous
00:13:06.38\00:13:10.09
results, God put some amazing
powers in water and I believe
00:13:10.12\00:13:14.29
water combined with prayer
and the wise use of it God has
00:13:14.32\00:13:19.16
some miracles still in
store for us in these last days
00:13:19.19\00:13:22.60
of earth's history.
00:13:22.63\00:13:23.97
What do you think
about that Dr. Thrash?
00:13:24.00\00:13:25.40
- So essentially when you
go from the hot to the cold and
00:13:25.43\00:13:28.80
from the hot and the cold
you are essentially making the
00:13:28.84\00:13:31.71
blood vessels have a pump
and you are pumping in good
00:13:31.74\00:13:35.91
nutrients and immune bodies
to the blood and that refreshes
00:13:35.94\00:13:41.98
and heals the area
that you are treating.
00:13:42.02\00:13:44.72
- That's what we want to do too.
00:13:44.75\00:13:46.09
Very good treatment, and I like
the contrast bath very well.
00:13:46.12\00:13:52.09
Now water has some other very
good benefits, one of those is
00:13:52.13\00:13:56.40
that it is a lubricant, it
lubricates various surfaces
00:13:56.43\00:14:00.14
it lubricates the joints so
that as they move back and forth
00:14:00.17\00:14:03.04
they are lubricated and
made to glide as surfaces
00:14:03.07\00:14:08.38
much more easily.
00:14:08.41\00:14:09.74
Another place that we are
lubricated is in the chest
00:14:09.78\00:14:15.18
the lungs are lubricated both
internally as well as on the
00:14:15.22\00:14:20.02
surface where the lung has
to slip against the chest wall
00:14:20.06\00:14:24.39
so as it slips against the
chest wall if we have plenty of
00:14:24.43\00:14:27.76
water there or plenty of fluid
there then there is a very good
00:14:27.80\00:14:32.20
feeling that the person has.
00:14:32.23\00:14:34.30
If the water dries up then there
is a scraping of the surface
00:14:34.34\00:14:41.48
against the surface of the lung
against the chest cavity that
00:14:41.51\00:14:45.71
we call Pleurisy and that
can make a very difficult to
00:14:45.75\00:14:50.65
tolerate problem.
00:14:50.69\00:14:52.35
We must lubricate the organs
such as the bladder and the
00:14:52.39\00:15:00.53
gall bladder, if a person drinks
plenty of water it's unlikely
00:15:00.56\00:15:04.50
or very much less likely
they will get gall stones,
00:15:04.53\00:15:08.27
and if they drink plenty
of water it's less likely that
00:15:08.30\00:15:11.04
they will get kidney stones
or bladder stones and so we
00:15:11.07\00:15:15.34
urge people who are stone
formers to be very careful
00:15:15.38\00:15:18.85
about getting plenty of
water so that they don't have a
00:15:18.88\00:15:22.88
difficulty there with
their genetic disease.
00:15:22.92\00:15:26.76
Now there are many other
hydrotherapeutic treatments
00:15:26.79\00:15:31.46
that we can give and John
Champen is going to show us
00:15:31.49\00:15:34.90
some of these very
good treatments now.
00:15:34.93\00:15:37.73
- Water can be used for cold
or hot or it can be used as ice,
00:15:37.77\00:15:43.17
we are going to go to the screen
now and take a look at some
00:15:43.20\00:15:45.81
of reasons for using ice:
00:15:45.84\00:15:48.28
And for most people they
respond quite well to that.
00:15:56.42\00:15:59.72
Also some of
the indications are:
00:15:59.75\00:16:03.26
Our next graphic shows
us sometimes when we perhaps
00:16:32.95\00:16:37.86
would not want to use it:
00:16:37.89\00:16:39.23
That's a constriction of the
blood vessel where there is a
00:16:58.75\00:17:02.12
real chilling there, you
wouldn't want to use it then,
00:17:02.15\00:17:04.89
and we also have
a precaution here:
00:17:04.92\00:17:07.32
And now with those restrictions
and those indications we simply
00:17:15.70\00:17:21.84
going to use ice to treat a
tennis elbow, this is the ice
00:17:21.87\00:17:28.81
from the equivalent of one
ice tray placed in a plastic bag
00:17:28.84\00:17:33.62
that is sealed and then we
will use a pillow normally,
00:17:33.65\00:17:41.46
and I'm going to have her hold
this, we would normally use a
00:17:41.49\00:17:46.59
pillow, place the elbow in there
and it would cradle right there
00:17:46.63\00:17:49.63
with another bag over top,
the treatment for this is about
00:17:49.66\00:17:55.64
five to ten minutes and relief
is given right away to that
00:17:55.67\00:18:00.94
tennis elbow, if this was
an ankle or a sprain or strain
00:18:00.98\00:18:06.48
of an ankle you might want
to do the same thing for about
00:18:06.51\00:18:09.38
twenty minutes, a very simple
treatment yet very effective.
00:18:09.42\00:18:15.16
Water can be used in many
different ways, ice, steam,
00:18:15.19\00:18:20.46
inside the body, outside the
body and there are tremendous
00:18:20.50\00:18:26.94
helps that are received then.
00:18:26.97\00:18:29.37
Inflammation is greatly reduced
when ice is used, ice has a
00:18:29.40\00:18:36.41
very calming effect on
the entire system, Dr. Thrash!
00:18:36.44\00:18:41.02
- That was very interesting
about the ice being very
00:18:41.05\00:18:45.25
helpful for tennis elbow,
it's also helpful for injuries
00:18:45.29\00:18:50.26
that athletes get and that
musicians get in the hands.
00:18:50.29\00:18:54.26
We had a musician one time a
harpist who got a trigger finger
00:18:54.30\00:19:01.24
and couldn't play the harp
any more and so we recommended
00:19:01.27\00:19:07.48
for her a treatment with
ice, but this was ice water.
00:19:07.51\00:19:12.05
Ice directly on the skin must
be kept moving or it might cause
00:19:12.08\00:19:19.39
a frostbite, some people
will react very severely to ice
00:19:19.42\00:19:25.03
and so you need to
keep it moving all the time,
00:19:25.06\00:19:27.70
but in her case we had her
to put her hand in ice water.
00:19:27.73\00:19:32.80
Ice water can be tolerated
quite nicely by the tissues
00:19:32.83\00:19:36.71
but it is not so pleasant
for the person, so we recommend
00:19:36.74\00:19:40.81
that they set a timer for twenty
minutes because that is the
00:19:40.84\00:19:44.35
duration of the treatment
so they put the hand in the
00:19:44.38\00:19:47.38
ice water with ice cubes
floating around on the top
00:19:47.42\00:19:50.89
and then they can watch the
ticking of the timer as it ticks
00:19:50.92\00:19:56.83
off the minutes because by
about five minutes they will
00:19:56.86\00:20:00.73
begin to say oh I'm sure
I've been in here twenty minutes
00:20:00.76\00:20:03.67
already, and there are
fifteen minutes yet to go.
00:20:03.70\00:20:06.23
So one has to be very careful
to go the full length of time
00:20:06.27\00:20:10.54
to get the full
benefit of the treatment.
00:20:10.57\00:20:13.51
Now water will also dissolve
the various toxins and one of
00:20:13.54\00:20:19.75
the things that causes a person
to accumulate various toxins in
00:20:19.78\00:20:26.22
the body is the and is expressed
in the form of a headache,
00:20:26.25\00:20:31.23
so with a headache there
is usually not anything wrong
00:20:31.26\00:20:35.23
with a head, usually
not anything wrong with the
00:20:35.26\00:20:37.77
blood vessels when a person
has a headache, but there may be
00:20:37.80\00:20:41.90
toxins or antibodies or antigens
or antigen antibody complexes
00:20:41.94\00:20:47.88
in the body that cause
the person to have a headache.
00:20:47.91\00:20:51.15
So with the headache the first
thing to try is a glass full
00:20:51.18\00:20:55.25
of water every ten minutes
for an hour, now of course an
00:20:55.28\00:20:58.82
individual who has kidney
disease will have been told
00:20:58.85\00:21:02.79
by their physician that
they must not take water in that
00:21:02.82\00:21:06.83
quantity so they will know
that they should not do that,
00:21:06.86\00:21:09.63
but for individuals who are
healthy and have healthy kidneys
00:21:09.66\00:21:12.90
they can very easily do that.
00:21:12.93\00:21:14.77
Now the glass of water every
ten minutes for an hour can be
00:21:14.80\00:21:19.37
done by a number of
people for a number of different
00:21:19.41\00:21:23.18
kinds of problems.
00:21:23.21\00:21:24.55
I remember one time my son
had a bad cough, we went to bed
00:21:24.58\00:21:30.92
and we had been in bed
maybe five minutes when we heard
00:21:30.95\00:21:34.76
from the other room my son
coughing, so I said son get a
00:21:34.79\00:21:40.43
glass of water and drink
it, so I heard these steps going
00:21:40.46\00:21:44.10
down to the kitchen, glass
of water and he went back to bed
00:21:44.13\00:21:47.57
a little bit he coughed again
I said son get another glass
00:21:47.60\00:21:51.44
of water, back down to the
kitchen another glass of water
00:21:51.47\00:21:55.11
came back to bed in a
little bit he coughed again.
00:21:55.14\00:21:58.55
So this time I said drink
a glass full there and bring
00:21:58.58\00:22:00.98
another glass full and
put it beside your bed.
00:22:01.02\00:22:03.99
But after the third glass
of water his cough went away
00:22:04.02\00:22:07.69
and so he had no more cough
the rest of the night he was
00:22:07.72\00:22:10.33
able to sleep and so were
we, everybody was able to sleep
00:22:10.36\00:22:14.46
at that time.
00:22:14.50\00:22:15.83
Now water is also a
vehicle for red blood cells,
00:22:15.86\00:22:20.40
white blood cells, and for
platelets, these are the formed
00:22:20.44\00:22:25.17
elements in the blood, and
so the individual who wants to
00:22:25.21\00:22:30.01
have healthy circulation
must have plenty of water in the
00:22:30.05\00:22:34.12
blood, and it's a known
fact that individuals who
00:22:34.15\00:22:37.19
do not drink much water
tend to have more blood clots
00:22:37.22\00:22:41.02
they tend to get more strokes,
they also tend to get more
00:22:41.06\00:22:44.53
thrombophlebitis, that's a
clotting of blood inside blood
00:22:44.56\00:22:50.37
vessels, usually in the
lower extremities either in the
00:22:50.40\00:22:53.37
pelvic veins or in the lower
extremities, thighs, calves,
00:22:53.40\00:23:00.18
and even in the feet, so
drinking plenty of water can
00:23:00.21\00:23:03.18
make a nice vehicle to keep
the fluid elements of the blood
00:23:03.21\00:23:08.08
fluid, we want to keep
the blood flowing nicely.
00:23:08.12\00:23:11.52
Now platelets because they tend
to stick together under certain
00:23:11.55\00:23:16.16
circumstances will stick
together more if the person is
00:23:16.19\00:23:20.56
dehydrated and so that's a
good way to prevent clotting
00:23:20.60\00:23:24.30
of you blood
inside your blood vessels.
00:23:24.33\00:23:27.30
There was once a woman
who came to one of my meetings
00:23:27.34\00:23:31.31
who sat right down on the
second row with another group
00:23:31.34\00:23:35.91
of women and as soon as I
started talking I introduced
00:23:35.94\00:23:40.35
my topic which for
that time was water.
00:23:40.38\00:23:43.28
Almost immediately this
lady got up and walked out and I
00:23:43.32\00:23:49.12
thought "Oh she was probably
offended" because of the very
00:23:49.16\00:23:53.16
simplicity of the remedies that
I am going to be talking about
00:23:53.19\00:23:56.87
so she left the meeting and
I suspect I will never see her
00:23:56.90\00:24:01.37
again at a meeting.
00:24:01.40\00:24:02.94
Well we had our hour in the
meeting and at the end of the
00:24:02.97\00:24:07.84
hour this woman came back
in and came walking right down
00:24:07.88\00:24:12.95
front with a good bit of purpose
and I thought oh, I'm probably
00:24:12.98\00:24:17.45
get a scolding now she's
probably going to tell me how
00:24:17.49\00:24:22.69
impossible it is to make
water do the things that I was
00:24:22.72\00:24:27.06
saying that it would do.
00:24:27.10\00:24:28.43
But instead of that this woman
came right down front she said
00:24:28.46\00:24:32.60
Dr. Thrash when you started
talking I had such a headache
00:24:32.63\00:24:38.57
that I thought I would not be
able to sit through this meeting
00:24:38.61\00:24:41.74
and when you said a glass full
of water every ten minutes for
00:24:41.78\00:24:44.91
an hour might help a headache
I went out and took the glass
00:24:44.95\00:24:50.09
full of water every ten minutes
for the hour and I want to
00:24:50.12\00:24:53.22
tell you that my headache is
almost gone, she was a very good
00:24:53.25\00:24:57.96
attendee of the meetings on
Simple Remedies from then on.
00:24:57.99\00:25:02.93
So let me encourage you
to remember that you can have
00:25:02.96\00:25:07.07
a great benefit for a headache
from a glass full of water
00:25:07.10\00:25:11.57
every ten minutes for an hour.
00:25:11.61\00:25:13.04
A person can also get a lot
of benefit from a headache for
00:25:13.07\00:25:18.35
just a simple treatment like
a massage, massage of the neck
00:25:18.38\00:25:23.75
and the lower portion of the
scalp muscles, those can also
00:25:23.79\00:25:29.56
give one a very good
benefit for a headache.
00:25:29.59\00:25:33.50
Women often have a problem
with feeling weak, they just
00:25:33.53\00:25:39.33
tell you that they are just
to weak to do their house work,
00:25:39.37\00:25:42.74
especially in the morning,
it takes them a long time to get
00:25:42.77\00:25:45.77
going in the morning.
00:25:45.81\00:25:47.14
Often for these individuals
I will say to them do you drink
00:25:47.18\00:25:51.18
water in the morning? And
often they say No! I can't
00:25:51.21\00:25:56.89
really tolerate water in
the morning, in fact if I drink
00:25:56.92\00:26:01.29
water in the morning I'm
going to throw up I know I will
00:26:01.32\00:26:04.13
I always do, and I say to them
start with a thimble full of
00:26:04.16\00:26:09.73
water but you need to
drink because your problem with
00:26:09.76\00:26:13.13
feeling weak in the morning
is that you are simply wilted.
00:26:13.17\00:26:17.24
You don't have your forces
about you because of the fact
00:26:17.27\00:26:23.85
that you don't have
enough water on board.
00:26:23.88\00:26:26.38
And so by starting with a
small amount of water, the next
00:26:26.41\00:26:30.75
morning double that amount and
usually you can do that without
00:26:30.79\00:26:34.29
feeling nauseated.
00:26:34.32\00:26:35.66
A lot of people will tell
you that even so they don't feel
00:26:35.69\00:26:38.99
good drinking water,
they simply have no appetite
00:26:39.03\00:26:41.66
for water, that makes them
tell you that they can't stand
00:26:41.70\00:26:48.20
the taste of water.
00:26:48.24\00:26:49.57
So what do you do for these
individuals, it's to give them
00:26:49.60\00:26:53.51
some kind of tea, the tea can
be catnip tea which is a sort of
00:26:53.54\00:26:59.41
sedative tea, or it can be
mint tea, which can be sedative
00:26:59.45\00:27:04.52
if you need a sedative, but
if you need to be perked up then
00:27:04.55\00:27:08.06
mint tea can also have that kind
of function for you, and so it's
00:27:08.09\00:27:12.53
a very good way to improve
the person's appetite for water.
00:27:12.56\00:27:19.53
Whatever your experience with
water may be remember that the
00:27:19.57\00:27:24.94
body needs about eight glasses
of water every day, that's
00:27:24.97\00:27:31.25
provided you are under the age
of 50, if you are over the age
00:27:31.28\00:27:34.55
of 50 then you may need a little
more than that, so remember to
00:27:34.58\00:27:39.92
keep the water that you have
in your system always at a good
