According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, water regulation is
divided into three different stages during one's lifetime. The first
stage of life is the life of a fetus in the uterus of the mother.
The second stage occurs approximately between the ages of 18 to 25---when
full height is attained. The third stage is from adulthood to death.
Dr. Batmanghelidj points out that dehydration begins at an early age,
and becomes chronic due to a gradually failing thirst sensation. With
aging, the intracellular water content diminishes to the point that
the ratio of the volume of water inside the cell, compared to extra-cellular
water, changes from a figure of l.0 to almost 0.8. This is a significant
change. Since our daily consumption of water directly contributes
to cellular function, the decrease in our intake affects the quality
of cellular activity. The end result is chronic dehydration, which
contributes to disease symptoms. In many cases, these symptoms are
the direct result of a water shortage in the body. Frequently, these
symptoms are treated with medications, ignoring the body's cry for
water.
