'Let me give you the single most effective prescription for well-being, improved helath, disease prevention - and finally the best pain medicine in the world.

• It needs no doctor's prescription.
• It is freely available. It costs nothing.
• It has no dangerous side effects.
• It is the medication your body cries for when it is stressed.
• It is good old plain, natural water.'

These new words of Dr Batman will not surprise half a million people who have read Your Body's Many Cries For Water. In that revolutionary book first published ten years ago, the author, a respected British educated physician, revealed what may prove to be 'the greatest medical discovery in history'. Made whilst he was under sentence of death in a crowded Teheran prison, he summed up his breakthrough with the message:

'You are not sick, you are thirsty'

Now he draws together nearly 25 years of research, particularly exploding the modern health myth that salt is bad for us. He further applies his findings to an even wider range of ailments including heart disease, allergies,  asthma, osteoporosis, sleep disorders, depression, addiction, infection, diabetes, menopausal problems, athritis, autoimmune disease and obesity.

Finally the book spells out a straightforward, easy-to-follow eating and exercise plan. There are no complicated rules, no expensive dietary supplements, and no need for faddy eating. It is in fact:

The ultimate health guide for everyone, of any age.
