“The RoseBouquet”

When Jalise came about four weeks back, she brought with her some gifts from
her Mom, my younger sister Elsie, who is teaching at the shiny new university
in Qatar. Elsie was back to Canada for a month this summer, but didn’t make it
here to see us, as she’d planned. (In fact, she lost her ticket until just the
last day, so they decided Jalise could come in her place).

Besides a lovely necklace of true salt-water pearls, not cultured, Elsie had
sent a book for me called, “The Body’s Many Cries for Water,” by a Dr. Fereydoon
Batamanghelidj, M.D. It took me a few days to get started on it, as I have
books on-the-read, in various spots throughout the house.

Last week as I was reading it, I had a few days of not feeling 100%, and since
it all made such beautiful sense, with such simplicity, I started drinking more
water. Sure enough, my pain eased, and I lost another two pounds of weight, and
I began to feel great.

This week Dad is reading the same book, and although a lot of the big words go
over his head, he has caught on to enough that he’s trying to drink more water
too. That Dr. recommends two to three quarts a day, but Dad finds 8 glasses
full a day a lot, so for now, he’s measuring out just that much, and aiming to
get comfortable drinking that much.

I’ve always had trouble getting motivated too, but now that I understand all
the various symptoms that the cells of my body are so thirsty, and having read
cured of all kinds of ailments by drinking enough plain tap water - well, I’m
all gungho too!

Some health fads cost a lot of money, this simple one rings like truth and is
