3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
“…Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected.” Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.” {MH 127.1}
“Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, PROPER DIET, the use of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies. Every person should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them. It is essential both to understand the principles involved in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will enable one rightly to use this knowledge.” {MH 127.2}
“We should EDUCATE OURSELVES, not only to live in harmony with the laws of health, but to teach others the better way…” (CG 361.2)
“…Become more intelligent in regard to the laws of life. . . .” {11MR 187.3}
EDUCATE IN REGARD TO THE LAWS OF LIFE:
“…Educate people in regard to the laws of life …” {GCDB, January 30, 1893 par. 2}
WHY?
“…Educate people in the laws of life so that they may know how to preserve health…” {MM 259.3)
“…It is the duty of every person, for his own sake, and for the sake of humanity, to inform himself in regard to the laws of life and conscientiously to obey them…” (MH 128.1)
“True religion and the laws of health go hand in hand…” (7T 137.1)
“You are to apply the laws of life and health to your own case. In violating the laws of health, even in doing the service of God, you misrepresent your maker…” {KC 20.4}
WATER:
Water is nature’s #1 natural source for quenching thirst. Humans, animals, and plant life alike could not live without it. Each could only live a couple of days without it, yet on a daily basis, most Americans are very deficient.
Approximately 85-90% of people do not get enough, resulting in many of the common ailments of today. Most of these ailments can be helped simply by increasing the amount of water a person takes in each day as well as drinking the proper type of water.
If your lips are dry and/or your urine has a yellowish or darker color, these are two signs that you are already extremely dehydrated. The color should be clear or pale.
THE CHEMISTRY OF WATER
Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H2O. It is tasteless, odorless, and without color. It is the basic fluid of all living organisms.
Amos 8:11 – “…His water shall be sure:”
“Teach the people that it is better to know how to keep well than how to cure disease…” {CH 135.2}
“In health and in sickness, pure water is one of heaven's choicest blessings…It is the beverage which God provided to quench the thirst of animals and man. Drunk freely, it helps to supply the necessities of the system and assists nature to resist disease...” (MH 237.1)
“I am to…place myself in the most favorable condition under the doctors God has provided--pure air, PURE WATER, and the healing, precious sunlight.” {MM 230.2}
WHAT KIND OF WATER?
“I should…DRINK…PURE, SOFT WATER.” {CD 419.2}
“…If those who are afflicted would assist nature in her efforts by the USE OF PURE, SOFT WATER, much suffering would be prevented…” {CH 61.2}
WHAT PURE WATER DOES:
“Pure water to drink and fresh air to breathe
- invigorate the vital organs
- purify the blood and
- help nature in her task of overcoming the bad conditions of the system.” {ML 139.3}
“…PURE WATER… DRUNK FREELY
- helps to supply the necessities of the system
AND
- assists nature to resist disease...” (MH 237.1)
PURE SOFT WATER IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE REMEDIES FOR DISEASE:
“…the most effective remedies for disease are pure soft water…” {MM 225.1}
PURE SOFT WATER WILL HELP THE SICK GET WELL:
“Thousands have died for want of PURE WATER and pure air, who might have lived…These blessings THEY need in order to become well. If they would become enlightened, and let medicine alone, and accustom themselves to outdoor exercise, and to air in their houses, summer and winter, and use soft water for drinking and bathing purposes, they could be comparatively well and happy instead of dragging out a miserable existence.” {CD 419.4}
WATER IS THE BEST LIQUID FOR CLEANSING THE TISSUES:
“….Water is the best liquid possible to cleanse the tissues.” {CD 420.1}
“…I should…drink FREELY of…water…” (CD 419.2)
“…pure water…drunk FREELY...” (MH 237.1)
WATER CALCULATION FORMULA
Most people believe they drink enough water. Unfortunately they don't. And as a result, approximately 85-90
% of people are dehydrated. They either do not drink enough water or they are not drinking it properly.
That's right!!! There's a right way and a wrong way of drinking water. Therefore, to ensure that people are not only getting enough water, but that they are drinking it the right way, the following WATER CALCULATION FORMULA has been provided.
#1: Upon arising, adults should drink 16 oz. of water. You will drink this within the first hour after rising.
try adding the juice of 1-2 lemons.
#2: After-ward, take your weight and divide that by 2. Now take your answer and convert it to ounces. This is
the total # of ounces you will be drinking for the entire day on top of the 16 oz. of water you are to drink
first thing in the morning you will start to drink this water one hour after you started your morning water.
#3: The next thing you want to do is calculate the # of hours you are awake each day. What time do you get
up on average and what time do you go to sleep? Now if you are awake for 16 hours, you would subtract
1 hour before bedtime, and 1 hour for your morning water, giving you a total of 14 hours for the day.
#4: Then, take the # of ounces you are to drink each day (not including your 16 oz. for the morning) and divide that by the # of hours you are awake after having subtracted the one hour for the morning drink and the one hour before bedtime. Your answer will be the total # of ounces you are to drink each hour of the day, stopping 1 hour before you go to bed.
By drinking water this way, you are not only getting enough of it, you are also drinking it properly. Most people wait a couple of hours before they even take their first drink of water for the day. This causes dehydration. Therefore, when they drink, they gulp their water instead of sipping it, which in turn causes the water to run right through them, still leaving them dehydrated. By drinking the water every hour, you are helping your body to absorb and store the water instead of helping it to be flushed out.
***If you have any questions please contact me.
WATER MAY BE DRUNK SOME TIME BEFORE OR AFTER MEALS TO QUENCH THIRST:
“…if anything is needed to quench thirst, pure water, drunk some little time before or after the meal, is all that nature requires…” (CD 420.1)
DRINKING DRAFTS OF CLEAR, HOT WATER BEFORE EATING IS GREAT FOR HEALTH:
“…Drafts of clear, hot water taken before eating (half a quart, more or less), will never do any harm, but will rather be productive of good.” {CD 303.1}
WATER NOT TO BE DRUNK ICE-COLD OR DRUNK WITH MEALS:
“Many make a mistake in drinking cold water with their meals. Food should not be washed down. Taken with meals, water diminishes the flow of the saliva; and the colder the water, the greater the injury to the stomach. Ice water or ice lemonade, taken with meals, will arrest digestion until the system has imparted sufficient warmth to the stomach to enable it to take up its work again...” {CH 119.2}
“…the most effective remedies for disease are pure soft water…” {MM 225.1}
PURE SOFT WATER WILL HELP THE SICK GET WELL:
“Thousands have died for want of PURE WATER and pure air, who might have lived…These blessings THEY need in order to become well.

EXTERNAL USE:
“The external application of water is one of the easiest and most satisfactory ways of regulating the circulation of the blood…” {MH 237.1}
FROM THE BOOK ‘HOW TO LIVE’
By: Ellen and James White, and others…this book was the first health book for God’s SDA people. Sister White highly endorsed the reading of this book and gave it to all new believers. (See 3SM 276.2-277.3/ 1T 666.2)
WE take the following from Dr. Jackson’s lectures on the use of water upon the human body, published in the Laws of Life for April, 1860:
“THE QUALITY OF WATER TO BE USED
Water, to be of the highest benefit when used either by the healthy or the sick, should be pure and soft. By purity I mean freedom from impregnation by mineral substances, or earthly salts, or the infusion of vegetable matter, either or all of which render it more or less unfit for external or internal application. There never was a greater mistake in the use of an agent whose natural and ordinary effect is to promote human health, than is made by those who are led to believe that water impregnated with earthy and medicinal substances is more beneficial than water which is entirely free from them. Hence the popular belief that to wash the body in medicated water, or to use it as a drink, is superior to the use of pure water, leads to most doleful results. Water, therefore, which is to be used for bathing, or for drinking purposes, should be as free from all substances which do not enter essentially into its composition, as it is possible to obtain it. Hence in addition to its purity it should be soft.
“Hard water is neither fit to use as a detergent, nor as a diluent. Its unfitness for external use upon the body is readily perceived by whoever applies it for any length of time. For, the skin which in its healthy conditions is soft and velvety to the touch, and feels to one who has the sense of touch nicely developed, as if it were covered with oil, and then rubbed with the softest material till it is polished like Mahogany, when it is washed for any length of time in hard water, loses that softness, and acquires in its stead a roughness and harshness which is very unpleasant to the sight and to the touch. Housewives who have their hands much in water, know the difference between the effects upon their skin, of hard and soft water. In one instance the skin of the hands becomes dry, and readily cracks, making them sore: in the other, the hands are soft, the skin pliable and smooth. It is a very great mistake, therefore, on the part of persons who are in health, ever to use hard water for purposes of bathing…
“WATER AS A DRINK – It is not only for its effects upon the skin and indirectly upon the organs lying immediately subjacent to the skin, that water should be pure and soft; but, if possible, its effects upon the internal structure of the body, when taken as a drink, render it more imperatively necessary that pure and soft water should be used. Eighty per cent of the human creature is made up of water. Thus, if you take a person weighing a hundred pounds, and place him where all the fluids in his body shall be removed, and you have left the actual dry material of which he is composed, he will be reduced in weight to twenty pounds. Now, for all this organic use, this great life-sustaining purpose, nothing but pure water will serve. Just to the degree that there is in it any material which does not enter essentially into the formation of this remarkable substance, is it spoiled for the uses to which we wish to put it. You can have no lime, soda, magnesia, arsenic, sulphur, nor any other medicinal substances in it; - nor the essences of vegetable substances, without rendering it unfit for the purposes for which it is intended in the great constructive policy of Nature; as applied to the human body…I wish to call your attention to the unfitness of all waters which are simply hard, for use as a drink, and for the purposes of cookery.
“On no single point is there need of enlightment more than on this, of the superior quality of soft over hard water as a hygienic agent. Not only is hard water productive in many instances of diseased kidneys, irritation of the bladder, mucous dyspepsia, and scrofulous development, but as I have said before, its effects on the skin are to leave it rough, causing it to put on a dry, scaly appearance, making it to crack - and its effects on the mucous membrane are even worse, creating an irritation of that texture, serving to introduce dyspeptic conditions, sore throat, nasal catarrh, inactivity of the liver, costiveness, piles, and headache…
“We who are so artificially educated in all that pertains to the nicety of perception by the special senses, know very little of the instinctive dislike WHICH THE UNPERVERTED TASTE WOULD SHOW TOWARD HARD WATER AS A DRINK. The animals might teach us on this point. Horsemen, who study the natural conditions of their horses, and seek to preserve their health, are very particular in procuring soft water for them to drink, they having been taught that the taste of the horse is so perfect and nice in this matter, as to cause him even when thirsty, to refuse to drink at hard-water springs, and go for miles till he can find soft water. Besides, horsemen say that the remote effects of hard water as a drink for the horse, are, that instead of a glossy, sleek appearance of the hair which the horse shows when in the habit of drinking soft water, there arises a staring, dry, and apparently half-deadened condition of the hair and skin, making the grooming of the animal doubly difficult.
“I am satisfied that right views and a practical reformation on this point on the part of the people, would do much toward introducing them to better conditions of health, even though other things should remain as at present. And I should advise every family who may read this lecture, and who use hard water either for drink or for culinary purposes, to take measures immediately to supply themselves with soft water in abundant quantities; and if it can only be obtained by being caught in reservoirs as it falls from the clouds, to filter it before it is used. Filtered rain-water is perfectly unobjectionable as a drink; and an expenditure of from five to twenty dollars in the purchase of a filter, would secure to any family in this land the means of purifying all the water they might need for drink and for cooking purposes.” {1865 JW, HHTL 124.2}

READ THE FOLLOWING WONDERFUL BOOK ON WATER AND HOW IT PREVENTS DIFFERENT DISEASES:
‘Your Body’s’ Many Cries for Water’: You’re Not Sick; You’re Thirsty’ by: F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
“Study and Teach Laws of Preventive Medicine.--There is now positive need even with physicians, reformers in the line of treatment of disease, that greater painstaking effort be made to carry forward and upward the work for themselves, and to interestedly instruct those who look to them for medical skill to ascertain the cause of their infirmities. They should call their attention in a special manner to the laws which God has established, which cannot be violated with impunity. They dwell much on the working of disease, but do not, as a general rule, arouse the attention to the laws which must be sacredly and intelligently obeyed, to prevent disease.” --Medical Ministry, page 22
