"Fereydoon Batmanghelidj was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1931. He graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School of London University, where he studied under Sir Alexander Fleming. In 1979, he was sent to the Evin Prison when the Iranian Revolution broke out. Charges were leveled against him and he was scheduled to be executed, however, it was realized that he was useful as a resident doctor among the prisoners, so his execution was delayed. According to numerous writings by Dr. Batmanghelidj, he discovered the medicinal value of water during his prison stay by treating inmates with water because medication was not available. It was from these experiences that he gained an understanding of water. His methods have been deemed controversial by some, but others have claimed to benefit from his treatment methods.

The main idea of Dr. Batmanghelidj's way of healthy life is to upkeep the desired amount of water in the organism. He gives the overview of substances that decrease and increase the quantity of water in the body. The substances covered are alcohol, tea, coffee, salt, sweeteners and so on. He gives examples of how the lack of water harms various organs and various deceases, including AIDS. Some examples are doubtful, but traditional health care practitioners approve some of Dr. Batmanghelidj's assertions about water.

I personally do not agree with all of the Dr. Batmanghelidj's statements that water can heal every decease. I did drink a lot of pure water before reading Dr. Batmanghelidj's books, and I also follow his advices about water (I did even heal some of my deceases with water), but I'm sure that in many cases you should not refrain from applying to professional medical care just because you drink enough water. You should not try to heal every disease with just water.

"I've been an advocate of this book for many years now. I am a massage therapist working with my Chiropractor husband. We DO NOT preach against medicine, pharmacuticals, surgery, etc.. when NECESSARY, however we do push for preventitive measures first. Proper hydration being one of the first measures. I can't even begin to tell you how many people come to see me for therapeutic massage that tell me they are properly hydrated with SODA, JUICE, COFFEE to name just a few. How many people say to me "I just don't like the taste of water."? Too many. I can feel when muscles are dehydrated. My husband can tell when the discs are dehydrated. Drinking water is really the most important nutrient your body can get. Without water, oxygen can't flow properly through your body and without oxygen cells die. I recommend this book to all of my clients. Most of them have found tremendous relief from just drinking more water. (Massage of course helps!!) Please, don't hesitate to buy this book and/or recommend it to all of your friends, family and colleagues. "

"Thank God for this information....I was swimming around in the scientific medical community all my life. No real solutions, just drugs and hopelessness. Now there are some sensible explanations to what has ailed me all these long years. Allergic to the drugs and just writing checks for all those fruitless doctor visits , I felt like the woman with the issue of blood in the bible. Spent all her money and still bleeding. I lost my hope in doctors helping me a L-O-N-G time ago. Good thing I didn't eat all those antacids or stay on those antidepressants and antihistamines.No more rectal checks for this girl. My all time favorite response from every doctor. "You should see a Psychiatrist !" I finally did, and LOST MY MEMORY for a year on lithium and prozak and my skin paid a huge price in wrinkling that never went away, while having to drink 8 glasses of water a day or feel like throwing up. You have to be careful about the naturepathic doctors also. They say eat a low salt diet, very dangerous ! Buy the book , bend page corners , get a highlighter , take some notes and write on every page as you read and learn . Enjoy being healthy for a change and rejoice in the freedom of not having to wonder what is WRONG . Love , kay"
