THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

If you have suffered because of the application of 'medical ignorance' to your body's earlier calls for water, it becomes the responsibility of your attending doctor to supervise your return to health by tailing off the use of chemicals for the treatment of chronic dehydration in your body. You should make sure your doctor becomes aware of the information on water metabolism, and your body's other call signals for water, when dehydration begins to alter the body physiology. Your doctor is responsible to you and, as your physician, he needs to become informed. It is your responsibility to help your doctor become aware of the paradigm shift. It is now your responsibility to help change the health care system to work for you and not the commercial and political aims of its administrators.

It may become necessary to pass legislation to exclude dehydration as a causative factor in the production of disease conditions before any pharmaceutical or invasive procedures are undertaken. The evaluation of drugs for ultimate use in treatment procedures should be carried out only after patients are fully hydrated and several days have elapsed before starting the test. After all, the water used in taking a pill is immediately more effective in a dehydrated person than the chemical composition of the pill! I have explained that the 'placebo' effect seen in drug trials is most probably the result of some correction for the unrecognized dehydration as a contributing factor in disease production. You are now in 'the arena.' You should use your knowledge for the benefit of mankind and try to bring about the paradigm shift on water metabolism of the body into the everyday practice of medicine.
