00:01 Isaiah 58:11 says,
00:04 "And the Lord shall guide thee continually, 00:07 and satisfy thy soul in drought, 00:09 and make fat thy bones 00:11 and thou shalt be like a watered garden, 00:15 and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." 00:19 Amen. 00:20 Praise the Lord. What a wonderful promise. 00:22 Hello, I'm Rico Hill, the host of "From Sickness to Health." 00:26 And I'm Sickness. 00:27 Hey, did you know that 00:29 70 percent of the human body is water? 00:33 Therefore, like your blood and your bones are water. 00:37 In fact the brain is like 85 percent water. 00:40 Yeah, I knew that. 00:41 Did you also know that if you just drink 00:44 at least eight glasses of water everyday, 00:48 you'll cleanse the body of toxins 00:50 and then you can reduce your chances of being sick? 00:55 Oh, I knew that and that's why I don't drink this stuff. 00:58 I don't want to reduce the chance of me being me. 01:02 That wasn't that funny. I'll tell you what's not funny. 01:05 People know water's good for them 01:07 and they don't drink it. 01:08 They would rather have soda and tea 01:10 and sugary drink and this or that 01:12 and, you know what, at the end of the day, 01:14 they just want a little sugar in their water 01:16 with a little dye like some fool-aid. 01:19 Wait a minute, fool-aid. What is fool-aid? 01:21 Well, fool-aid is when people think 01:22 something is good for them, 01:24 but it's got so much sugar and dyes 01:27 that it's really not. 01:28 Fool-aid. Okay, wait a minute. 01:30 Let me see, if I can wrap my brain around this. 01:32 Yeah, don't hurt yourself. 01:33 So you're saying that a colored substance 01:36 that doesn't really have any substance 01:39 is what you're calling fool-aid. 01:41 Exactly. 01:42 So does this make you a fool-aid? 01:46 Yes. 01:48 Okay, I thought I understood that. 01:50 So today, we're gonna talk about not being fools 01:54 but actually understanding truth 01:56 about the real thing and that's water. 02:00 Wait a second, I'm no fool. 02:02 I can say water in multiple languages. 02:04 In Spanish "Agua," in German, "Wasser," 02:07 in Chinese, "Shui" and in Jamaican, 02:10 "Wata". 02:12 Clearly it's the food-aid. 02:16 Roll it. 02:53 Well, welcome and thank you for joining us here on, 02:56 "From Sickness to Health," right here in the studio. 02:59 And I'm joined today by Dr. Milton Mills 03:02 and we're gonna talk about a subject 03:04 that it seems so simple 03:05 but a lot of people are either neglect it or avoid it 03:08 or whatever the case may be. 03:10 But you're gonna find that it is so simple 03:12 but yet it's so profound 03:13 in terms of its impact on our health. 03:17 So I am excited about our guest, 03:20 Dr. Milton Mills, a friend to this program. 03:23 He is at critical care physician 03:25 at the United Medical Center in Washington DC, 03:28 but he's also the associate director 03:31 for preventative medicine 03:33 for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. 03:37 That means, he is educating people 03:39 on how to be healthy and live. 03:42 So thank you for being on the program with us. 03:44 Very happy to be here-- 03:45 Hey, we're talking about water today, aren't we? 03:46 Here's the water. Yes, to water. 03:51 So before we dive into the subject about water 03:54 I like to refer to this program as, never thirst again. 04:00 What do you call this water? It's the "elixir of life." 04:03 The elixir of life, I like that. 04:06 Let's see what people know about this elixir of life, 04:09 as we go to sickness and get his take on it. 04:12 Sure. 04:15 Thank you, Rico. 04:16 I've got an amazing concoction going on here today. 04:19 It's my own personal elixir. 04:21 You've probably heard of tonic water and spring water. 04:24 Well, guess what, 04:26 I've got something better than all of them. 04:28 It's called ta-da, blue water. 04:32 That's right, Rico. 04:34 You heard it here first, blue water. 04:37 It's gonna be amazing. It's the next big thing. 04:40 I'll tell you why, it's in the market. 04:42 You see, you just add a little blue dye or color to water, 04:45 even though it's bad for you, people love it. 04:49 Case and point. 04:50 Hey, buddy, 04:51 you want a little blue guy special? 04:57 Well, here you go. 05:01 Sure, blue water, all right. Oh, yeah. 05:05 Go on, taste it. 05:08 It's a hit. This is great. 05:10 You know, the reason is, 05:11 because of some super scientific ingredients 05:14 that were used like, tartrazine 102, 05:17 Monosodium glutamate 621, hydrochloride, 05:21 and phenylamine and some blue dye. 05:25 Fantastic ingredients, all of the good stuff. 05:27 You know, I think this is gonna replace water. 05:30 People won't even remember water. 05:32 It's gonna be great. 05:33 Hey, buddy, you want some more water? 05:35 Blue Water? There you go, enjoy. 05:42 We're gonna be rich. Back to you, Rico. 05:46 Blue Water. 05:48 And I would, you know, I don't even know 05:50 what he is pronouncing in half-- 05:53 you know, I don't know half of the things 05:54 he was pronouncing, in this blue water. 05:57 So--but this makes a point, doesn't it? 05:59 A lot of people are drinking, lots of things out there, 06:03 soda pop and all types of energy drinks 06:06 that have all these words that are long-- 06:08 I would say energy. Yeah. "Energy." 06:11 Okay, so-- but people are choosing 06:13 that over just simple water. 06:16 What's going on here? 06:18 Well, basically people have been 06:20 sold the proverbial billed goods. 06:24 They've been led to believe that all of this stuff 06:28 that is being marketed to them is good for them 06:33 or necessary or helpful and in fact it isn't. 06:37 There is nothing more helpful, 06:40 more important than good, clear, clean water. 06:46 Your body, as you know is 70 percent water 06:50 and you need to replenish that every single day 06:54 to keep yourself fully hydrated, 06:56 to keep your body flushed out internally 07:00 so that your kidneys are able to rid, 07:02 your body of the toxins 07:06 that are produced every single-- 07:07 Every single day? 07:09 Actually, every single second that we're living because-- 07:12 Oh, you just tripped me up there. 07:14 I was, I was ready to say conceit to second. 07:18 I mean every day, 07:19 but you're saying every single second? 07:22 Yes, every single second that a cell is living, 07:26 it is metabolizing and as it's metabolizing, 07:29 it is producing waste products-- 07:30 Waste products. Exactly. 07:32 And those waste products have to be gotten rid of. 07:36 And they are carried away by the blood stream 07:39 which then goes to the kidneys, which filter out the toxins 07:43 and those ultimately come out in our urine or conversely, 07:48 they are filtered through the liver 07:50 and they are taken out 07:52 and excreted through the GI tract. 07:57 So toxins are continually being produced 08:01 and removed from our system. 08:03 But you know what, you know, what people are saying, 08:04 "Well, you know, that's fine. 08:06 I'll get my water from soda pop." 08:09 Well, actually the problem is-- There's water in it. 08:12 Yeah, there is water but there is also 08:13 a lot of dissolved solutes in there. 08:16 And when you take in water 08:20 that also has other materials in it, 08:24 in the process of metabolizing the stuff 08:27 that's in the soda pop, you end up using the water 08:30 that's in the soda pop to get rid of the stuff 08:32 that's in the soda pop. 08:34 Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. 08:36 Let me make sure that I just understood that. 08:38 So you're saying, you know, if you drink water, 08:40 let's look at that first, so if you drink water 08:42 it's just simple, it's, it's flushing out, 08:44 it's removing, 08:45 it is a benefit to the process, the natural process is, right? 08:49 Sure. 08:51 Drink a soda that has water in it 08:53 but because of so many other additives 08:56 the water is being-- the body is using the water 08:59 that's in there to actually get 09:01 rid of the junk that's in there. 09:03 Absolutely, let me ask you-- 09:04 So you don't have any water at all. 09:05 Let me ask you this, can you take a bath in muddy water? 09:09 I would, I would never do it. 09:11 Why? Because-- Because, I wouldn't be clean. 09:14 Exactly, likewise, you can't use 09:19 soda pop to get rid of compounds 09:23 that are in your system. 09:24 You need-- Just like you need clear water 09:27 to get rid of dirt on your skin, 09:29 you need clear water internally to get rid of the toxins 09:34 and waste products in your body. 09:36 Okay now doc, now here's a point 09:38 because people don't realize that. 09:40 So there is a need for water externally, 09:44 which no one is gonna argue that. 09:45 Absolutely. 09:46 So in the same way, we are actually sort of, 09:50 washing our vital organs. 09:53 Kidney, liver-- That's exactly right. 09:54 Let's look at some facts about water, okay. 09:57 Since we're talking about, 09:58 let's get people a clear prospective 10:00 and look at what is water really doing in the body. 10:04 You mentioned already, first of all, 10:06 you said that the body is 70-- 10:08 some people say 70-75 percent water right? 10:10 So it's mostly water, but then you've got the brain, 10:14 some 75-80, sometimes even 85 percent water, right? 10:18 You've got water in the bones, you've got water in the blood, 10:21 you've got water in-- 10:22 every single aspect of our body needs water. 10:26 What does it do? 10:27 It's a great laxative, it's a natural laxative. 10:30 We need water to actually use-- Right. 10:33 To make stool, right? Yes, we do. 10:35 It's-- so we need water to-- 10:36 it actually helps to lower the blood sugar in the body-- 10:40 Yeah, we need it as it's-- 10:42 water is almost like lubrication for the joints. 10:46 Yes, exactly right. 10:47 If you have arthritis and you're not drinking water-- 10:50 Your joints become stiffer. They don't work as well. 10:52 We've, we've so much more to say about this. 10:54 Let's, let's go and let's hear if there's some information 10:58 that we can gather from what the news is saying. 11:00 Where-- you know on this program-- 11:01 you've on been before. 11:02 We like to get our perspective from everybody. 11:04 We want your perspective, we want even your perspective 11:08 and certainly we'll listen to what the news say. 11:10 Sometimes you all listen to what the news will say 11:13 before you even what the doctor who cares about you says. 11:17 So let's take a look at what's the news is saying. 11:18 Sure. 11:20 And so, Coke and Pepsi announced 11:22 that they're gonna change the formulation 11:24 of the caramel coloring that they use in their sodas 11:26 to avoid putting a cancer warning label. 11:29 And here's why. 11:30 A consumer group called 11:31 "Center for Science in the Public Interest" 11:33 claims that they did testing of this caramel coloring 11:37 and they found a chemical in there 11:38 that has been linked to cancer in animals. 11:41 Is above what's allowable in our food supply. 11:43 And they demanded that The Food 11:44 and Drug Administration take action. 11:46 You know, there're a lot of people, 11:47 who drink Coke and Pepsi 11:48 and they're gonna be very concerned 11:50 about their health right now. 11:51 Yeah, you know, there're number of opinions on that. 11:52 Coke says that there has never been a problem 11:55 in terms of cancer from this caramel coloring 11:57 but they want to make the change 11:59 to avoid that warning label. 12:00 The Food and Drug Administration, 12:02 they told writers that you would need to drink 12:04 more than 1,000 cans of soda every single day 12:07 to hit that threshold of, of risk in animals. 12:11 Even before this came out, 12:13 you've never been a fan as most doctors 12:15 are not a fan of drinking this kind of, of beverages. 12:18 Yeah, you know, I don't see 12:19 that there's a real cancer risk here 12:21 but you're right. 12:22 You know, I say this every day that 12:24 if you want to do one thing for your health, 12:26 just one thing that you could do today 12:28 that will have the biggest impact, 12:30 it would be cut out your sodas, 12:31 cut out your sweetening beverages 12:33 because-- I mean, cancer is not the risk, 12:35 you're more likely to die from the diabetes, 12:38 it's linked to obesity 12:39 that's linked to all these sweetening beverages 12:41 than you ever don't have to worry about the caramel. 12:43 And you can see a dramatic change if you cut out sodas. 12:46 It's unbelievable. Yeah. 12:47 You will lose pounds. 12:48 You will lose pounds just from that one simple thing. 12:51 Wow, the research is so clear, 12:55 sugary drinks are simply bad for us. 12:59 That's absolutely true. 13:00 The research clearly shows that it is the massive increase 13:05 in the consumption of sugary drinks 13:08 that has contributed to this epidemic obesity 13:11 that we're seeing in the country. 13:13 Not only does it contribute to obesity 13:16 but it also contributes to dehydration 13:18 because it takes a lot of water to metabolize all of the sugar 13:22 that people are actually consuming. 13:25 And even worse yet high fructose corn syrup. 13:31 High fructose corn syrup is actually-- 13:33 You can't get around it is in all those drinks-- 13:35 It is in all of the drinks and there's a-- there's a-- 13:43 there's a very interesting reason 13:44 why that's, that's, that's so. 13:47 It turns out that there're, there're are different types 13:52 of sugar molecules and fructose is a, 13:58 what's called a monosaccharide meaning a single sugar molecule 14:03 that our taste buds perceive as being many times sweeter 14:08 than what we call table sugar or sucrose 14:12 which is a disaccharide meaning 14:14 it's two sugar molecules linked together. 14:17 So in other words, you have a single sugar molecule 14:22 that is perceived as being many times sweeter 14:25 than a double sugar molecule. 14:28 Well, why is that important? 14:30 It's important because that means 14:31 that God designed fruit which is where the term 14:34 fructose comes from, fruit sugar, 14:36 to have a small amount of sugar in it 14:38 but still be perceived as very sweet 14:41 so that we would eat the fruit, get all of the health benefits 14:44 without getting a huge sugar level. 14:47 But industry said, "Hmm, well, 14:51 instead of putting sucrose into our soft drinks, 14:56 we could put half the amount of sugar 14:59 for an equivalent level of sweetness 15:01 and not only would we be using less sugar 15:04 but then when we want to ship it 15:06 all over the country, 15:08 we will have to pay lower transportation cost 15:11 because they would weight less." 15:13 The problem is that 15:15 when we consume large amount of fructose, 15:19 non physiologic amount of fructose 15:22 it deranges our physiology. 15:24 It raises your blood pressure, 15:26 it causes your body to store excess amounts of fat 15:30 and it contributes to a number of 15:33 other disease processes in the body 15:36 because, our bodies were not meant to handle 15:39 huge amounts of fructose like 15:41 we get when we drink all of these sugary drinks. 15:44 Let me try to put that into some language 15:47 because I mean, you've hit some serious topics here, 15:50 but let's make it real, real practical. 15:54 And you tell me whether this is true, 15:55 but I've looked at some research shows 15:57 that if-- say for instance we take a-- 16:01 your average 12 ounce of soft drink, okay soda pop. 16:06 You drink that and you're getting 16:09 high fructose corn syrup. 16:11 Now that would be the equivalent 16:13 because the sugar there has been, 16:15 has been refined or processed, right? 16:18 And-- but if you were to look at the amount of sugar 16:21 that the body has taken in, 16:23 you would have to in it's natural state be like 16:26 the equivalent of a 30 foot cane, 16:30 you know, like the sugarcane, 16:31 like a-- no one would eat a 30 foot sugarcane. 16:37 But you find that, all sort of processed 16:39 or compressed in this one can of soda. 16:43 This is unnatural for-- 16:44 you said it's unnatural for the body's physiology. 16:47 Right, furthermore, 16:49 it's even more unnatural that that because one, 16:53 if you were to eat that 30 foot sugarcane, 16:58 you're actually gonna get sucrose, 17:01 which is actually natural sugar. 17:04 In that can of soda you're getting all this-- 17:07 "high fructose corn syrup." 17:09 I ask my patients, "When was the last time 17:11 you squeezed a cup of corn and got sick?" 17:15 Never and that's because there is no syrup in corn. 17:20 Corn syrup, number one, is an artificial product. 17:23 It's made by taking corn starch, 17:26 chemically breaking a part, 17:27 the starch molecules into sugar, adding water, 17:30 then they take that sugar water 17:33 and send it through another chemical process 17:35 which rearranges the glucose molecules 17:38 into fructose molecules. 17:40 And so what you have is a chemically produced 17:44 completely unnatural product, which is then turned around 17:47 and put into these soft drinks, fed to our children. 17:51 And it makes them obese, diabetic 17:53 and have all sorts of health problems. 17:56 And I might add, the same thing happens to the adults. 17:59 So this is completely unnatural and very unhealthy. 18:03 Now it makes me think about, you know, sometimes 18:06 when you're in the grocery store 18:07 and you see these two leaders, these huge things of-- 18:11 Oh, disgusting. 18:12 And it's-- and then you look and you wonder, 18:14 well, where is the, where is the water, 18:16 where's the, you know, the natural foods. 18:19 And it's all so processed but we're talking about water 18:22 but there is a price that has to be paid 18:26 when someone is constantly-- I've heard people who say, 18:28 "I don't even like water. 18:30 I don't like to drink water. 18:31 Just give me my soda or my juice." 18:34 There's a price to pay on the kidneys. 18:38 Where will that lead to because we're seeing dialysis? 18:42 Absolutely. 18:43 That's just-- all of the chart is expensive, 18:45 it's inconvenient, it's cumbersome. 18:47 Talk about that for a second. 18:48 This is people who are not drinking water, right. 18:50 It's going to lead to all kinds of disease. 18:53 It's going to-- You know I often ask-- again, 18:58 groups that I speak to. 18:59 I ask them, "If I would have ask you 19:01 what is the leading cause of disability 19:04 in African-American men between the ages of 25 and 55? 19:08 Is it gunshots? Is it auto accidents? 19:12 Is it HIV disease or none of the above? 19:16 Many people pick one of those three problems. 19:19 It's actually stroke 19:21 from untreated high blood pressure 19:24 and that can be directly traced to things like 19:27 drinking all of these sugary drinks, 19:30 not getting enough water 19:32 and other dietary indiscretions. 19:35 So these things do come with a price 19:38 and that price is the diseases 19:41 that result from inappropriate dietary habits like 19:44 not drinking enough water, drinking too many sugary drinks 19:48 and so on and so forth. 19:50 So yes, there's a terrible price to be paid 19:53 and we have to make changes 19:55 if we want to preserve our health. 19:57 You know what, those are excellent points. 19:59 Let's take a look-- We want to see 20:00 what the people are saying out there on the streets. 20:03 Do they understand the value of water, 20:06 the necessity of drinking water 20:07 and drinking it in the right amounts that you need? 20:10 And when we come back from the other side, 20:12 let's talk about, how much water should we be drinking? 20:14 Sure. All right. 20:17 All right, you don't drink milk that's fine. 20:19 You drink water? Yeah. 20:21 Why would you drink water? 20:23 I don't know, it just seems like you have to. 20:25 Seems like you have to-- you don't have to. 20:26 From now on, do not drink water, drink soda. 20:30 Do you like soda? 20:31 No, I don't just like, simple water. 20:34 What? Water. 20:35 Water? How do you do that? 20:38 That just tastes like nothing. 20:39 He's got water, wasting his arms' 20:42 strength holding some water out here. 20:44 Hey, you can do better than that. 20:46 How about water, you drink water? 20:47 Yeah, I love water. Oh, what a waste of time. 20:49 You like blue water? I have blue water, yeah. 20:52 Yeah, they've got blue water. He drinks it. 20:54 That is fantastic, it has got the good flavor. 20:56 Anyway, I won't advertise my blue water right now. 20:58 Back to you. 21:00 They are drinking everything but water. 21:03 So it's not just soda, it's also coffee and teas and-- 21:07 Well, number one, milk is not-- 21:08 should not even be considered a liquid 21:11 because as soon as it heats, your stomach acts it, 21:13 you're stomach acid it colligates a form of solid. 21:17 So that's really not a liquid. 21:20 So you can't even consider that to be water, number one. 21:22 Oh, that is scary, I'm sorry. I've never heard that before. 21:26 You're saying that milk goes 21:28 into the stomach and it becomes-- 21:29 It curdles. It curdles. 21:30 Yeah, it forms a solid. 21:32 But that's what it is supposed to do. 21:33 Milk is designed to be a food for baby mammals 21:40 and it's designed to be a liquid form of a solid food 21:44 that when it hits the baby's stomach acid, 21:46 it forms a solid 21:47 and that's the way it feeds the baby. 21:50 Now again this is another story. 21:54 We've done a program on milk, 21:56 but I've never heard that before. 21:57 Adult animals shouldn't be drinking milk 22:00 but, you know, that's another story, 22:02 but just suffice it to say that you shouldn't consider milk 22:05 as a way to get liquid because it really isn't. 22:08 But you see have kids coming in from playing sports 22:11 and they're thirsty. 22:12 They're looking for-- even the commercials. 22:15 The commercials show them, 22:16 they come home and they go near the fridge, 22:17 they pull out and drink the milk-- 22:18 That's exactly-- and why is that? 22:20 That's because the dairy board wants your money. 22:23 They don't care about your health. 22:25 The dairy board will show you African-Americans drinking milk 22:28 even though they know that 70 percent of us 22:30 are lactose intolerant. 22:33 Now the fact that you will drink that milk 22:34 and then develop stomach cramps 22:36 and diarrhea and gas and bloating 22:39 they don't mention that-- 22:40 Because once they get you to drink it, 22:42 they have your money 22:43 and they don't care about the health consequences. 22:46 So how much water should we be drinking? 22:48 Okay, that's a very good question 22:50 and there're a number of different formulas. 22:52 You know, people say eight ounces 22:54 or-- excuse me, eight glasses of water a day, 22:57 you know, some people use a body weight formula. 23:01 And many of these formulas are valid and very good-- 23:04 Well, at least people are drinking water. 23:06 You've got something better. 23:07 I try to give my patients a very practical way of gauging 23:11 how much water to drink, and this is the analogy I use. 23:15 I tell them, if you went to take a bath, 23:18 you ran a tub full of clean water, 23:20 you got in it, you took your bath 23:22 and when you stepped out the water will look like mud. 23:25 What would that tell you? You need to bath more often. 23:27 Oh, oh, I know where you're going with this. 23:28 So if you go and you pee and your urine is dark yellow 23:33 that tells you, you are dirty inside. 23:35 So you need to drink enough water 23:38 throughout the course of the day 23:40 so that your urine is pale yellow to clear. 23:44 That tells you that you're keeping yourself 23:46 adequately hydrated. 23:47 And I know people who will say, 23:49 "Oh, yeah, I drink six glasses of water in the morning." 23:52 Well, that makes no sense. 23:53 That's like taking the shower, 23:55 going out and running a marathon 23:57 and then not bathing for the rest of the day. 23:59 You're gonna stink. 24:00 So you need to drink your water 24:05 distributed throughout the day 24:07 because again, your body is constantly metabolizing, 24:12 making those toxins, 24:13 you need to be continually flushing yourself 24:16 and your system out. 24:17 Dr. Mills, you have a way of putting 24:20 probably giving them a point. 24:22 You're gonna stink. 24:26 That's just the way it is. 24:28 Let's just be real, let's be real. 24:29 So you make a very good point though. 24:31 It's-- You have consider time, place and occasion 24:34 if you are exercising, if you're doing something-- 24:38 by the way, you lose water, 24:40 and I think it will be giving you something. 24:41 Absolutely that's a very good point. 24:43 So if you are sweating, you're loosing water, 24:46 even if you're talking a lot you're loosing water. 24:49 I talk a lot, so I need to be drinking water 24:52 because when we talk, we-- 24:53 You are, yes, you are loosing 24:55 more and more water, a very good point. 24:57 So you have to consider, are you working out, 25:01 are you exercising and other things sugary drinks, 25:05 milk, coffee nothing is gonna do it-- 25:07 No substitute. You have to have water. 25:10 Right, and again, people have said to me, 25:12 "I don't like the taste of water." 25:14 Then you know, what my answer to that is, prayer. 25:17 No, why do I say that 25:21 because there was a time in my life, 25:22 I didn't like water. 25:24 I didn't like the taste of it, 25:26 but I knew I needed to drink it. 25:27 So I just said, you know, Lord, I know 25:30 You want me to drink more water. 25:31 I know I need to drink this. 25:33 Give me the taste for this water. 25:36 And He did and now I crave it. 25:39 You crave it now. 25:40 I crave it and if I don't have enough water 25:44 my body tells me, you need to get water. 25:46 You need to drink it. 25:47 And it's-- I mean, I love the taste of water now. 25:50 Okay, so somebody out there is thinking, 25:52 okay, you're convincing me, 25:54 I'm gonna start drinking more water. 25:56 Now what kind of water do I need to drink? 25:57 Do I need to drink Kangen water or Kangen 25:59 some people call it, its alkaline water. 26:01 And we don't have much time but we want to get them 26:03 something practical that they can start to do. 26:06 Kangen water, is alkaline water, 26:09 should it be spring water, should it be distilled water, 26:11 should it be reverse osmosis water, 26:14 what kind of water? 26:15 Okay. In 30 seconds. 26:16 Right, I'm gonna give you my personal preference. 26:22 The most important thing is to drink water. 26:24 If you have a choice, 26:27 I think distilled water is the best option 26:30 and if you can't get distilled try to get purified. 26:33 That's reverse osmosis or RO water. 26:35 Sure, because basically all you want 26:39 are two Hs and one O, okay. 26:44 I like that. 26:45 Yeah, you just want water and you don't need, 26:48 because people say, "Well, you need the alkaline." 26:49 No, you don't. 26:50 The great thing about a plant based diet 26:52 is that plant foods are very alkaline. 26:55 They will give you all the alkali that you need. 26:58 You don't need to get it from your water 27:00 plus all you will get from the amount of-- 27:02 from alkaline water are very small amounts of alkali. 27:05 Most of it comes from the diet. 27:07 You don't need to get it from your water. 27:09 Just drink as pure water as you can get, 27:12 your diet will take care of the rest. 27:15 Praise the Lord. You hear this? 27:16 So we want to start drinking more water 27:19 but we don't have to go 27:20 and spend thousands of dollars to get it. 27:22 You know, water is readily accessible 27:25 and available at a relatively low cost 27:28 anywhere you go in the world. 27:30 That says to me, God intended for us to have it 27:33 and to have it in abundance. 27:34 You need it even to think. 27:36 So one could say, 27:37 if you're not drinking enough water, 27:39 you may not be in your right mind. 27:41 Absolutely. Drink more water. 27:43 The brain needs water. Your body needs water. 27:44 And we thank you doctor, for being with us. 27:46 My pleasure. 27:47 God bless you and we look forward to see you again. 27:53 Well, today we've learned how vitally important 27:58 water is to the human body. 28:00 How it cleanses, how it refreshes. 28:03 It is the world's most amazing solvent. 28:06 It's heavens elixir. 28:08 Many people take it for granted, 28:09 and no substance colored or sugared 28:12 can ever take the place of pure water. 28:16 When you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated 28:20 and every single organ needs water. 28:23 You not only need to be washed on the outside 28:26 but water actually cleanses us on the inside. 28:30 Isn't that amazing? 28:33 Can you move to the side a little bit? 28:34 Just move right over there. 28:36 My fellow Americans, the founders of this country 28:39 fought for freedom. 28:41 Don't let someone like this take your freedoms away. 28:44 You enjoy the right to drink soda and pop and colas 28:48 and teas and sugary drinks 28:51 and I don't want to take that freedom away from you. 28:53 So I want to tell you today, don't worry about water. 28:57 Enjoy the new stuff, blue water. 29:02 Wow, what do I have to say to that? 29:05 Oh, wait a minute, I think I know, 29:07 John 4:14 says, "The water I give you, 29:11 you shall never thirst again." 29:15 I don't remember it saying anything about blue water. |
