Isn’t it a strange paradox - much of the developing world is suffering from diseases due to not having access to clean healthy water. Yet the developed world population is suffering from a plague of modern diseases extensively contributed to by their failure to drink adequate amounts of clean healthy water. They have been brainwashed to believe that they can drink any fluid and it will meet the body’s hydration needs. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Dehydration is implicated in many if not all of our modern diseases. For many years it was believed that water was just a solvent to carry nutrients and was just filling the spaces between the solid matter in our body. However leading scientists and some doctors are beginning to realise that its role is much more extensive and much more important.

Stroud Council wins eco-friendly award
Stroud District Council has won the 2010 Green Energy Award for being the south west's Most Proactive Local Authority, at the South West Green Energy Awards.
The award – which is designed to recognise the crucial role local authorities can play in supporting sustainable energy – was presented to the council at a ceremony, held at the Bath Assembly Rooms.
Head judge of the category, Dermot Grimson of the Crown Estate, said: "Stroud is increasingly seeing things happen 'on the ground'. There has been tremendous improvement in the district over the past 12 months, and its model is an exemplar to all smaller local authorities."
The council was particularly noted for its three-year Climate Change Programme "Target 2050", which has helped over 180 householders, 66 businesses and 20 community buildings to reduce their CO2 emissions. Their 'cross tenure' project in an off-gas area has delivered 48 renewable heating solutions, and their involvement in the 'DECC PAYS' pilot finances tailored local solutions with local suppliers and installers.
