What is Dehydration?
Answering the question, "What is dehydration?" requires a number of answers. A basic, a more complex physiological and a scientific explanation.
Dehydration Definition
The most basic definition of dehydration, it is a condition when fluid is leaving the body faster than it is being taken in. We lose water when we breathe, sweat and pee. Sometimes we loose sweat from disease and from certain medications.
Your body is between 65% and 75% water. That water is stored inside two oceans. One ocean is inside and one is outside the cells. To help you appreciate the difference, inside your red blood cells is water and outside the blood cells is additional water laden fluids that suspend the blood cells. The same is true of muscles, brain cells, skin and other cells.
There is a complex system that helps maintain a balance, making sure the most essential cells get water when there is a drought in any part of the body. When there is a drought in the body, the essential cells maintain hydration at the cost of damage to the less important cells.
As this page continues to grow, here are the topics soon to come.....Dehydration Myths and Misconceptions updated for October of 2015. Includes the science based info...Note, we will have to make a lot of corrections based on this info. Most other sites are wrong, at least according to the science.

A Better Definition of Dehydration
At Water Cures, we feel a better definition of dehydration is fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Most people are in a state of having less water and electrolytes than a body need.
This is because we need more than water. We also need the electrolytes to get the water into and around the cells.
The best source of electrolytes is unprocessed salt. The minerals in the salt are in the exact balance that we need. The sodium chloride helps to transport the minerals to the cells. The minerals act like buffers for the sodium chloride.
Correcting Dehydration
In most cases, dehydration is easy to reverse by increasing fluid intake and consuming an electrolyte. In severe cases, dehydration may require immediate medical attention. Even then, the chances of saving a life are limited if not started as soon as possible.

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.
