Note From the Hydration Coaches This is the story of John M and his journey to end his back pain after spinal surgery. When his spinal surgery pain was not relieved by drugs or supplements. Using the Water Cures protocol, he was able to end his back pain after surgery in less than two months.
John M. Avoca, PA
In 1989 I started having lot of pain in my legs. At the time I was an auto mechanic and my boss noticed that I was getting dizzy and staggering to work. I was forced to quit my job.
I went to my regular doctor, who sent me to the best neurosurgeon at Wilkes Barre General Hospital. The doctor sent me or X-rays that showed nothing. I then went or an MRI and it showed that my spinal cord was choked and the doctor suggested surgery.
Lower Back Bones and Discs
The surgery replaced three discs and shaved another one open. Looking at the MRI after surgery showed that the spinal cord went back in place after the discs were replaced. The doctor stated that I should be 70% better in one year. However I was 70% worse! I was in such bad shape that I qualified or a Jazzy wheelchair.
In December 1990 I had another MRI. This time it showed that my spinal cord was in place and was healing . I told the doctor I now had massive pain in my hips, knees and ankles, so I had another MRI of those areas. This one showed massive arthritis in all three areas.
The doctor said there was nothing he could do except put me on pain pills. I went on morphine, oxycontin and others without any success in eliminating the pain. I even tried a series o synvich shots (intra-articular injection o supplements into an involved joint) which didn't help at all. In 1991 I went on vitamins, minerals and other supplements with no noticeable difference.
I tired therapy for six months and was in more pain than without it. I tolerate the pain for many years. The pain was so severe that at times I considered committing suicide.
From 1989 to about 2008 I used the wheelchair and two canes. At this time I talked with Bob Butts from CeeKay Auto and he gave me literature and CD's on the Water Cures program. I had talked with Bob years before and at that time I thought he was nuts when he told me about the program.
This time I listened and started immediately on the Water Cures. Within one-and-a-half-months I began to notice improvements in pain relief.
Today I am walking without the two canes and have no use for the wheelchair. On a scale of one to ten, my pain was a ten and now about a three. I have stopped going to doctors and I have stopped taking all pills completely.

It is amazing how so many things that are new to us were common knowledge in the past. One basic practice of the Water Cures protocol is to drink at least 30-45 minutes before and 2 1/2 hours after a meal. This is not a new thought however. Notice what a magazine from 1925 had to say...
"Drink plenty of water two hours after each meal; drink none just before eating; and a small quantity if any at meal time. Do not take a bath until two hours after eating a meal, nor closer than one hour before eating. Drink a full glass of water both before and after the bath." (Golden Age, Sept. 9, 1925, pp. 784-785)

Listen to your body. Do not use this if you are under a doctors care. Do not stop taking medications without consulting your doctor. If you are on medications, consult your doctor if you start the Water Cures Protocol as it may change your needs.

Hi, my name is Sharon. The webmaster of this site is my nurse, my personal water coach and my husband.
As this site was first being built, I had a headache and as usual took an Ibuprofen. Impatient for it to start working, I decided to try the Water Cures. I took a pinch of salt and a glass of water. Then I took a second pinch of salt and another glass of water. My headache was gone in less than 5 minutes.
From my personal experience, it usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for Ibuprofen to work. Some have found it takes ibuprofen 24 minutes to start working.
Yet on the Water Cures protocol, my headache was gone in 5 minutes.
Its simple: give your body what it needs and your body will give you what you need, the ability to feel great.
Water Cures was the solution for the elimination of my headache. It is what I will use from now on.
Why not give it a try yourself.
