Symptoms dehydration: What you need to know, reviews the various symptoms of moderate to severe dehydration (without shock).
Symptoms are the physical conditions that indicate that a disease or condition is present. Often the symptom is only apparent to the person with the disease or condition. This is the subjective part of identifying the disease or condition.
Headache
Dizziness or Fainting on standing
Delirium
Unconsciousness (late stages)
Increased thirst (may not be present in elderly)
Loss of appetite
Mood changes including grumpiness
Confusion
Fatigue
Decreased or no urine output
Urine will be dark yellow or amber colored
Dry or sticky mouth
Sleepiness
Tiredness
No tears when you would normally have them
Pain...actually, any pain
Poor skin turgor or elasticity (pinch the skin on the back of the hand and it will stay in the tented position for several seconds before it lays down again and returns to the normal state.
There are a number of other symptoms that many have experienced with dehydration. Among these, there are over 72 different diseases and conditions that are associated with the body in a state of drought and there is a lack of electrolytes.
Of the forces at work when the body is dehydrated, there is the drive for water intake. At the same time, a rationing and distribution system for what water remains goes into effect. This is a priority program, causing the water to go to the most important and reducing it from the least important.
Since our brain is almost 85% water, this is one of the necessary places that the water is distributed to. This is because the brain sends the signal for histamine to the subordinate regulators and when either the water or electrolytes arrive, the pain is relieved..
Using pain killers to manage pain are actually doing more harm than good. The physiology of pain production is a signal of a localized dehydration. Eliminate the dehydration and you eliminate the pain. Even if the pain is the result of inflammation, the inflammation is the bodies cry for water to flush out the chemical toxins and clean up the tissues to eliminate the pain.
Dehydration could precipitate multi-system organ failure.
More on this will be covered in the pain section.

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)

We are not promoting increased salt intake. We are suggesting taking salt in amounts appropriate to your bodies needs, based on water needs. Our needs are not one size fits all.

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.
