As a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, the author, a medical doctor, believes that he has found chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including asthma, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches, hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and diabetes in the elderly.

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the body possesses many different thirst signals. A dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of your body's water needs. He describes a variety of more reliable ones, and helps you learn to understand when your body is calling for water. In this way, he claims you can prevent, treat, and cure a variety of conditions of ill health, at no cost, with what he calls nature's miracle medicine: Water. The author explains how much water one needs to drink a day to stay healthy, and why tea, coffee, and sodas are not good substitutes for water.

The Washington Times
When Dr. Batmanghelidj thinks of a glass of water, he doesn't think of it as half full or half empty. He thinks of it as brimming over with the essential fluid of life. He thinks of it as the solvent of our ills and the deliverer of ripe old age. He thinks of it as the wave of the future.

A book the whole world should read
A book I couldn't put down - we all know water is good for us, but did you know it can prevent such conditions as hypertension and angina? This book will change your life.

An Important Book
I read this book, and I'm not giving it five stars simply because he could've condensed it a bit and not put as much medical system bashing in it. People are reading this book because they already know doctors don't have all the answers, so just give us the facts. Some people have some concerns over this book, but I want to address those:
First, for those people who say you only need to drink 3 or 4 glasses of water a day, that in insane! I've read book after book, study after study, telling you how much water is used by someone even sitting all day, let alone who is walking around or active. Water is required for EVERY cellular and chemical interaction in your body. Your body is 70% water. Where do you think that water comes from? You need to drink it.
Second, to people who say you get most of the water you need in the diet. IF Americans ate the ideal diet, I'd say that is true. But how many people do you know who actually eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, DONT drink coffee or soda, and don't eat processed foods with a lot of salt in it?? So I have to point out, especially to the Urologist who posted a review, that in fact, the "typical" American diet makes us even MORE in need of water replacement. To say that there is "no medical evidence" is just plain irresponsible and ignorant.
Third, people say "drinking too much water can upset your electrolyte balance and harm you". THAT is why he SPECIFICALLY addresses this issue in the book. He tell you to add some salt to your diet, and to eat fruits/vegetables so you ARE getting enough potassium, etc.
Now, I had been suffering from constant, annoying, burning wrist pain for two years, which I thought was a minor tendinitis from playing guitar. LONG story short, I tried several different things, but nothing would help. I stumbled on this book, and in desperation, I tried it. Guess what? My wrist pain steadily melted away over a period of weeks as I rehydrated myself. I'm still healthy, I'm not dead from electrolyte imbalance, and I'm PAIN-FREE. So please do some research if you don't believe what this, and MANY MANY other doctors and health-care practitioners know to be true.

Informative!
