My reason in calling the book the health bible no. 1 is that it reminds us about the impotence in daily getting enough water (and salt), as we know that (nearly) all existing life is depending on water, and all life originally started in the ocean.

To me this book has shown up to been, and will continue being, an important book for me to recall. Firstly, I always have known that daily we must take 2 liters of water, but wrongly I thought that most of the content in for example coffee and beer was considered as water. Now after reading the book I have rehabilitated my mistake, and totally changed my daily drinking which most of all was coffee.

Secondly, and happily, I in the book see that it through decades have been me and not the doctors and the medical firms, which have been correct, in my arguing for daily taking about more than 1 gram of salt. When 65 years ago I was child, then we learned daily to get at least 2 grams of salt. And since then I always have argued that the only problem in taking much salt would be the result in weighting more, by being heavier as the body then would have to contain more water.

Among other it's interesting in the book to read about his showing how we as teenagers contain 70% of water in the body, while when being old then it's only 60%. And then his speculation about if this changing simply is a result of peoples during history having changed the drinking from originally only being water, over to mostly being beer, wine, Coca-Cola, and so on. And in his thinking about how the increase of Alzheimer and cancer has come parallel to decrease in the drinking of pure water.

The book is important in telling how we in the nerves are containing water - and showing this in good drawings "“ and that many nerve diseases, as pain, and bad functions can be the result of too little water in the body, and thereby in the nerves.

And as he argues, the book is intended to brush aside the professional resistance of the AMA and the NIH against his arguing about the importance in the missing water. Actually it's awful how we daily from the medical firms, in their advertising, from most doctors, and from FMH, are misinformed about nearly anything concerning our health.

I understand that dehydration causes obesity.
But did any of the readers actually loose weight when applying the water cure? At what rate?
If yes, please leave a comment underneath this review. Thank you.

A gift. have not heard anything bad about the contents of the book.

My wife bought this really believes it is answer to a lot of things that people have problems with in their bodies. Makes sense but following all the suggestions is like everything else, you have like water and committed to drinking more water.

I bought this book after reading all the reviews on Amazon. I couldn't wait, so I bought it from Barnes & Noble the same day. I am already sleeping better. The first night trying the simple method of drinking water and salt before bed worked like a charm. I slept so soundly that the only thing I heard was the alarm the next morning, I don't think I moved all night. I was so excited that I went to work the next morning and told everyone I work with. This book talks about the importance of drinking water. Our family doctors all my life have been advising us to drink 8 glasses of water a day. So the reviews that claim that this Dr. is a quack, I don't see that at all. I feel that he goes into more detail with everything that he proposes. He tells us to exercise, drink water, eat salt, take vitamins. He talks about what kinds of food are healthy and which aren't. So he does discuss a lot of other things than just "drink water". I loved this book so much that I bought the one on back pain, I haven't read it yet. If you're someone who wants to take control of your health and do something about it, I highly recommend his books. He's my sleeping angel. I feel happier now that I'm sleeping better. I can't wait to see other benefits manifest, I just started hydrating myself, now I just have to wait and see. I'm very excited. My family is getting this book for Christmas this year, it is the gift of life.
