This testimonial letter came to us this month from a lady living in the Orkneys, she has a remarkable story to share with you about her father....

5th September 2004

My name is Ann Chapman; I am 53 years old. I was born in South Yorkshire, England. After leaving school I worked in an office in the city of Sheffield. At 17 years old I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and put on the usual steroid medication. I spent a number of years battling with the illness until at the age of 32 years I moved to Orkney and changed my life style: physical job not a sedentary one, a diet of fish, fresh fruit and vegetables replaced canteen food, and pure, clean spring water from my private well. I now find that with each new day my health continues to improve and my energy level, both physical and mental, increases.

I write this testimonial tell of my first-hand experience of how giving water to my father, in my opinion, saved his life. I bough Dr B's book 'Your Body's Many Cries for Water' because, although water (8 glasses a day) is part of my approach to a healthy lifestyle, I had not understood the part it played in the body's overall metabolism. Therefore I was interested to find out what Dr B had to say.

My father, John Williamson, is 79 years old and has spent his entire working life as a coal miner. He suffers from 60% emphysema and 10% pneumoconiosis. I visit my parents in Yorkshire four times a year. Prior to my last visit my mother had forewarned me not to be shocked when I saw my father, as he was extremely ill. She was not expecting him to live much longer. My father's doctor had prescribed the usual antibiotics and steroids but the medication, nor his nebuliser or oxygen supply was giving him any relief.

It was while I was reading chapter 9 'Asthma and allergies' in Dr B's book and my father was having great difficulty expelling mucus, that I realised for the two days that I had been with them I had not seen him drink any water. He had only taken half-a-cup of tea in the morning, one cup of coffee at midday and another half-a-cup of tea at teatime. About three months earlier, my father had taken a fall leaving him very unsure on his feet. (For some years he has only been able to walk about the house with the aid of a stick and holding on to the furniture.) With the fear of falling again he had decided to cut back on his fluid intake so that he would not have to keep walking to the toilet.

I gave my father two glasses of water (with about one hour in-between each glass): within hours he was feeling much more comfortable. The change in my father was so dramatic I could not believe the difference in him: I was so relieved. The next day, after two further glasses of water, he was back to 'his' normal level of breathing.
I am so glad that I decided to read Dr B's book and thank him most sincerely for going to the trouble to share with others his theory about the effects that dehydration can have on the the human body.

Thank you Dr B.
I wish you and your family the very best of health.

Ros in Dorset also contact us and wanted to share the profound improvements to her health since hearing Dr Batman give a talk in Corfe Mullen, Dorset.

October 2002 - Corfe Mullen Dorset

Hearing Dr.Batmanghelidj tell us his story on the healing powers of water
and salt was the day that changed my life....

I was asthmatic as a child and had remained allergic to feathers, dust and animals all my life and had difficulty breathing when walking up hills.

The first thing I noticed after a gradual increase in my water intake was that my energy and memory improved followed at Christmas time by the realisation  that a week of exposure to a leaky feather cushion at a holiday cottage did not produce one wheeze! I was very excited.

Two months later I visited a friend with a dog and spent two hours in their company completely wheeze free. By this time I had also noticed that walking up hills was becoming easier. I started to take water with me everywhere and can now walk up steeper and steeper inclines without any of the troubles I had before as long as I keep drinking water.   

I am so grateful that Dr. Batman has persevered to spread has message to all corners of the world. Already I have friends who now have their own story to tell as well.
