water therapy..

September 5, 2011 12:27am CST
I was a bit sick this past few days. Maybe because of the changeable weather and I also a bit stressed up. I got a cold and a cough. I don't want to take medicine because I don't want my body to be dependent on it. Then one of my friend told me to drink a lot of water everyday to lessen my illness. I did it and it really did help me. How about you my co mylotters when you were sick do you find another alternatives instead of taking medicine directly? I'm waiting for your respond. God Bless... Happy Mylotting!

I have not needed any medication for three years now. My health is getting better and better. I have started to look after my health in all seriousness. I am not against medicine. I just prefer to avoid the need by working on preventative methods. The body is self-healing but we have to do things that promote health and not sickness. Example: instead of breathing polluted air I don't smoke any more. That makes sense to me. Here are some basics: Eat nutritious food Drink lots of water Get enough sleep Take a bit of sunshine every day that it is possible Do some exercise ever day Care for your spiritual needs Laugh and smile a lot Think positive Love your family or at least try to get along the best you can Associate with good and wise friends Each step can be refined to an art by doing research and finding people that are healthy and happy and learning from them. Every time I meet a happy healthy person I spent some time learning of how they live. Good health to you!

1hopefulman, I´m so very happy that your health is so much better. God really listens to prayers.. I try to remember to breathe deeply, especially outdoors, so that I get more of the oxygen that heals. And I do much of what you do and have not needed medicines for many years.. We have a wonderful season for fruits and vegetables now..

Well yea I also hate taking meds and so I drink lots of water. It always works for me and if it dos'nt I go straight to the doctor. I also hate going to the doctor so water HAS to work for me.

The same with me cvsuperman. But much better to see a doctor if you think your alternative med can't work it out already. Thanks for the respond...

Yeah water is good, but too much water is bad. It can alter the sodium content in the body, that's not good. And when you have the common colds, wait at least 3 days before taking meds to fight it off so that your body becomes immune to the cause, that's what my physio professor said.

What about the sodium content in the body? what happens if it alters?

Like you, I don't like taking medicine as well. I also don't want my body to be dependent on it, or worse be immune to the medicine. When I have colds I just drink lots of water and rest. Water and rest is the best medicine there is. The water flushes out the toxins and virus making you healthy faster than medicine. Also, AFAIK, there's no cure for colds

Yes exactly knicnac, you really hit it. Taking med is an additional expenses for us. And it is really good to find other alternatives than taking med. If you just have a minor illness. Thanks for the respond! Happy Mylotting

Hi cutiemeryll.. This is really interesting.. water therapy, as I read a while ago that.. this particular method of therapy is effective first thing in the morning.. befor eoyu have even brushed your teeth you should drink approx 3 pints of water.. then you should wait about half an hour before you eat.. This is supposed to aid with removing of toxins in the body and also prevent diseases such as cancer.. Im glad you are feeling much better and I wish you many years of great health and wellbeing..

I too drink a lot of water when I start feeling a sickness come on. Because of that I haven't been very sick in over 4 years. I do not know if it is just coincidence though.

Hi, cutiemeryll. Yes, when I get a sore throat, I will drink a Healthy Fuze drink at room temperature. I will not let it get cold. I will just drink it straight from the kitchen's cabinet. When I drink just about all of it, my sore throat lessens and it eventually disappears within a hour or so. Once I have discovered this cure, I always try to make sure that I have many bottles of Fuze drinks on hand when it is very cold. I am glad that drinking water has helped you to feel so much more better. Take care of yourself.

Dear Friend, Water is the best medicent to stop cold & cough but not cure it. I'll explain in brief. Now, cold & cough are caused b'coz of viral infection that enters the body they damage the red & white blood sells in our body. If your body is not healthy to fight it back it will cause viral fever. If your body is healthy than it wll fight back with the help of cough & coid. So, understand this by drinking water you are forcing back the virus back to the body which will prevent cough & cold only for a short period. A doctor will prescribe the right medecine (& not a injection) to destroy this virus. Drinking water is an esy way out & asking health tips on a social neworking site without prescribing a doctor is not a good idea. I all depends on you so stay safe, stay healthy... :)

Drinker more water is beneficial to our body. Like you said, water therapy that's why medical experts called it. Yes, it do helps to cure cough if you always drink water if you don't want medication. It's also good for our skin. Drinking more water helps us to cleanse our body system too.

I don't depend on medicines right away too, just if it gets too bad, coz I know I can brush off my cough and cold without them. But about a month ago, I got really sick. The cough and cold and I think I was having mild fever during the night times too. It went on for a week i think and I finally went and took my meds. I did get Ok after a couple of days but yeah like you said I don't really want to depends on meds too!
