DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days

2. Gastric - 10 days

3. Diabetes - 30 days

4. Constipation - 10 days

5. Cancer - 180 days

6. TB - 90 days

7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active. This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ...not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.

Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

I have been doing this for the last more than 10 years without fail. It surely didn't help to reduce my sugar levels. May be it has helped me to stay away from other ailments! But I can't say that for sure.

I have had results! I had a visit with a sports physician to check my knee. He took my blood pressure and, my BP was 202/130. I started doing research on BP because I refused to take medication from doctors. Started taking herbs hawthorne, cinnamon, folic acid, magnesium, garlic etc. And drinking about 6 16oz bottles of water a day. Along with eating fruit, salad, oatmeal etc.. Not just watching my salt intake but learned, that Sodium is the key. So I don't ever 1500 mg of Sodium a day I recently took my BP and it read 167/94.. So I'm pleased to see results also working out more cardio etc.. If anyone has any more helpful tips for me please share... Thanks

Its not a japanies but ancient naturopathic lifestyle of India, as water therapy. It is called "Usha-paan". It works like flush and the since it is taken before brush, saliva of mouth works as Acid. Your point No. 4 is not clear. Water should not be taken between 30 minutes before and 1 hour after the meals.

I also have been adopting this practice of dringking water for the last twenty years or so but there is no relief of reduction in sugar level.but it definitely has helped in reducing other common ailments.

I am in agreement with various suggestions for drinking water and following few of the rules given since 1965. I drink at least few glasses of water in the morning followed with regular cups of tea/green tea. Curd and butter milk is regular part of my food (no consideration for morning or evening etc.).

I drink water generally half an hour after food. At that time water is very tasty and further delay is during summer increases taste of water many fold. If allowed to add, occasionally a glass or two of beer is part of my pleasure.

I am generally healthy at 70 though on BP medicine since 1983. Lately, alternate day a tablet for cholesterol and prostrate medicines since last three years are letting me fight ageing. Diabetes medicine may be added soon since FPS/PPS are 130 / below 200.

Friends, there are no wonder cures. Every individual has to listen to signals of his body and act judiciously. However keeping and understanding MIND is a must. Ashtang Yoga has two parts for self/society, two i.e Asanas and Pranayam for Body and remaining four i.e. Pratyahar, Dhyan, Dharana and Samamadhi for our MAN (Chitt).

Fact is we are all the times busy in mundane with the hope of miracles through many suggestions or by miracle men called Baba or Bapu missing the greatness of MIND the fundamental force of keeping UD HAPPY AND HEALTHY.

Kindly let me know the name of medicine you are taking for prostrate initial state.

vikramaditya profile image
vikramaditya in reply to 0073gurprasad

I had prostrate problem earlier. I got medicine from alopathy Doctor. you can consult some doctor. Beside taking medicine I following accupressure by pressing obverse side of my wrists on points given in book " health in your hand" by NN Vohra.near about 120 times. Also press the mid points of both palms 48 times. Also rub your feet (taliya) i20 times as many as three to four times a day so there is more blood flow in feet.

KumaRamesh profile image
KumaRamesh in reply to 0073gurprasad

Fincar and Urimax. In fact these are most commonly prescribed. Recently Urivoid has been added to improve flow.

I am also taking homeopathy Prostonum drops (15-20 in one fourth cup of water) in the night. It improves control. However I would suggest all this may be taken with proper/regular follow up of Doctors. Ultrasound gives good feedback on enlargement and void volume.

So called "Water Therapy" is a popular recommendation among practitioners of alternative medicine but there is hardly any credible evidence of the value of the method suggested. Such claims are not backed up with valid research.

Yes,it's an old system of detoxifying one's body.Best is to take lukewarm water(1glass) with 1/2 lemon & 1tps Honey.(Diabetic Honey in case of diabetes patients).Another treatment is:Take 1 cup liquor TEA + 1tps KALONJI OIL(20 drops) daily in the morning and before going to bed at night after dinner.This is a very good treatment for Blood Sugar.One can safely try this treatment.

Life started first in Water. Keeping right water percentage in our body definitely have it cleansing property. In Tirunalveli dist, and Nagarkoil in India, .or so, water treatment is prevalent even now. I have met a patient who had a big wound in the leg from a Rikshaw accident, getting well, under water treatment from Tamilnadu, by an old traditional Vaidya. The man said there is so many other diseases treated by this Vaidya using just water!

Wonderful India, Wonderful Indians, who mostly adapt and mimic Foreign people, who invariably learned very many secrets from India, Eg. Mass Hypnotism, Karate Kumphu, and many remedies and cures for many Maladies, was spread in China by Great Prince and Acharya Bhodhidharma, from Tamil Nadu (India) in 5th Century (?)

Flowers in own backyards are often ignored by people, likewise we forget our valuable traditional values, remedies and cures, cultures and getting from foreign countries, who came,learned our Sanskrit and Grandhas, Mantras, and Slokas, translated into many other foreign Languages, they claimed it is all their country's ancient knowledges, we, Indians praised them, gave full attention to them, gave our assets to get them, we claimed and are proud of our own Knowledges when translated and got it in English-Wine Glasses.

Ramachandran.

KumaRamesh profile image
KumaRamesh in reply to Ramchandran

Dear Ramchandran

As I see you have mixed facts and emotions. Human society is sum total of knowledge at every corner of this planet. History has witnessed that a particular junction of time India had become rigid in its approach. How one can explain a brave man from Gajani could visit year after year 17 times between 998 and 1018 from Somnath to Kanauj (Kanpur) and have his ways. It must be due to weakened society. It repeated again when few thousand officials of East India Company took over reign of this mighty nation.

Science is no ones property. Water therapy has to be developed scientifically and then applied to life. All good things should be adopted but with care. It is true for all alternate medicines too. Ayurveda have now changed approach and slowly becoming more scientific thus not remaining property of few Vaidya. Their knowledge too used to disappear with them in the absence of lack of collection in proper books.

No wonder, in India Influenza killed lakhs in 1919 (including my grand mother at very young age in Himalayan village that would have no pollution in those days) and Cholera used to kill millions in Bengal, Bihar till simple medicines provided great relief. Malaria is still to be conquered. I believe no one will apply alternate medicine to it inspite of tall claim since it would not stand scrutiny.

Let us remember a famous Godman preaching day and night about Yoga had to visit ICU for controlling his anger and BP.

I've been drinking water on the empty stomach since 1981, but of no avail, whatever, particularly, on regulating my blood glucose level. True, I 've no other ailment. My micro albumin urea is well below the permitted range.

Talking about side effects, drinking too much water can cause undue strain on the kidneys, if kidneys are not functioning normally.

Once i consulted the doctor on this idea of drinking water. This is not harmful so long we do not add any thing in such as salt honey etc in water. Kidney does not get loaded so long we drink plain water. only. However people who have kidney problem shall not drink huge quantity of water since there is limitation on total fluid to be taken during the whole day. Of course we may feel brisk and discharge day to day work comfortably. This may not help directly Diabetic health. I once started and discontinued.

I too practice drinking at least a litre in the morning immediately after brushing up. I do not find any significant impact on my diabetes level.But it surely helps in easy bowl movement and free urination.

Dear sir,

It is very difficult to control the urge for tasty food. There are several videos of Dr. Manthena Satyanaraya's MNLS (Manthena's Natual Life Style system). Even a lady Diabetician doctor was impressed with his research and ahsram and started research at his Ashram etc. (absolutely non-commercial). His videos are in Telugu language and if you have any telugu friends with you, take their help to understand his invaluable guidelines for BP,Sugar, Obesity, etc. and also his recipe for diabetic patients etc.

DEAR v9od, be regular on water therapy. You may start with 1 glass of water and gradually increase it. For many diseases constipation is reason. Once you do water therapy, you will have free bowl movement and you have to rush to toilet immediately. Headache may be for any other reasons. Please check.

I totally agree with the concept; Scientifically you can prove that by drinking not enough water but measured 3.0 lit per day will definitely reduce serum triglyceride, which one of the basic reason for CVD, Arteriosclerosis, High blood pressure, Acidity, Type 2 diabetes etc.

Generally smokers do have the risk of high triglyceride; but when they take large amount of water the risk is reduced.

i have gone through the replies of the sufferer friends from some or the other ailment..if a therapy does not work on you it does not mean the therapy is not working..one should not compare alternative remedies with alopathic treatment. one should see that allopathic treatment is harmful in long run..it cures our X ailment and the doses of medicines developes Y complications..with any natural remedy, say water therapy one has to also live life accordingly as drinking water is not all..disciplined lifestyle is also a must..nobody commented about the quality of water..we find different test and contents in water at different places..it will also have substantial impact on desired results..

I would say people's has their own opinion and experience. I would like to share myn, its been 1 year only for me and my wife drinking Luke warm water 3 Glass just after waking up in morning.

This has changed our life like miracle i should say. Yes miracle, because before that we have been both suffering with very erratic problems.

My wife was suffering with very veered problem since her childhood. After we married we had one kid and till then it was all right. After our first son became about 1 year her same childhood problem started drastically.

Stomach burning at the end of chest bones or can say the starting place of your stomach, and than it converts to acute gastritis and she use to start vomiting and than it required to take her to hospital. We had to take her to hospital 8 times and every time 3-4 days in hospital and all tests happened (endoscopy, cornoscopy, brain scan, Tubroclosys, ctyscan of stomach) you name any test because we were insurance covered so they did all possible tests. Nothing came out. Every time DOCs gives us lectures, donnt eat this donnt eat that, resulted her weakness.

In sort we were fed-up of all above. For me was suffering with skin related problem on my hands, my skin of my palm becomes ruff and than it cracks and some times water or blood use to come out of it. Similar to the people use to have in their encl-es in their feet back side skin use to become hard and ruff and than it cracks. Took so many kind of medications, Ayurveda, Homeopathic, Alopathic, followed all precautions DOCs suggested, every time lecture's from them donnt do that donnt do this, bla bla. No change in life.

When we planned our 2nd kid. We were some how managing with our decries and things were OK OK with medications and precautions. We had our 2nd kid touch wood safe without any major complications. Than some where red about drinking luke warm water in morning can help to correct metabolism. My Father and Grandfather use to say every problem of your health some where starts with your stomach and metabolism plays significant roll in that.

This was our turning point of our life. I had started 3 glass of warm water in morning without brushing, mean time wife was in hospital. After around 10-15 days my hands skin started becoming easy. In around 1 month my both hands were clean. Wife was back to home. She again started to have same problem. My father gave one home remedy black salt in hot water and that helped for while. Thanks to my father millions of times saved us a lot and gave time to think of this more deeper the problem.

But i was puzzled why such situation is at all there. She was doing all majors doc use to suggest for her. Shared with her the remedy was following (water therapy) and she started same with hesitation. But it worked for her as well, within around 2 weeks she started feeling better. We were without any trouble in our life. No more hospitalization any more touch-wood. She was not able to eat properly like normal people's now she can eat as an what she wants. We love spicy food and our life is normal now and are trying all spice levels :)

There were many other small small things we were suffering with like for me use to have half head headache if some times drive bike in pollution or long drive without covering my nose, frequent cold and cough, for my wife she also had piles problem. All solved guys. Yes all solved. Started for my elder kid as well, encouraging him to drink at-least 1-2 glass of water in morning at-least. :)

The article referred said to drink Luke warm water 3 liter in a day and may start with 1-2 glass of water. After 1 year we are without any health problem touch-wood. Would suggest to any one suffering with any health related problem to try this religiously and am sure it will help.
