Seven Components of Great Health - No. 1: Water

Component 1: Start drinking ionized water consistently

You need to hydrate your body because there is nothing more important regarding human health than a properly hydrated body, which translates into sufficiently hydrated cells throughout the body. If the body’s cells are not healthy, we cannot be healthy. Cellular health equals human health.

Ionized Water has four qualities that are perfect for the body’s health: Antioxidant, Alkalinity, Hydration and Detoxification. Start slowly and increase the potency of the Ionized Water you consume until you are drinking 1.5 – 2 gallons per day. Drink it all day except around mealtime. An extra trip or two to the bathroom is an extraordinarily cheap price to pay for your most precious possession: your health. You are the only person who can consume enough water to start on the road back to the health you were born with, that which God intended you to have, not the body you have transformed it into from a lifetime of eating primarily dead foods that are acidic, dehydrating and void of any rejuvenating properties.

Hydration is the first step toward reversing chronic illnesses and strengthening the immune system. It is our first defense against disease and the very keystone of human health.

There is a certain calm and stillness that only water offers. It is impossible to sit by tranquil waters and not feel at peace. Herman Melville mused that “Meditation and water are wedded for ever.” He could not have been more right. We came from the sea.

Bob McCauley's Story of Great Health - Pt. 4

As far as medical advice, I can offer none whatsoever. Anything regarding medicine should be between you and your doctor.

I am not a formally trained medical, health or nutritional professional in any way. What I know of health is what I have read, experienced and spoken with others about. I offer on this website no medical advice, but rather guidance and ruminations about health. The reason I know almost nothing about medicine is because medicine does not lead to health. This book is essentially one person's opinion, that of my own. However, I challenge anyone to find flaw with the basic tenets of my health philosophy, which is that water and raw foods rule . What does it take to understand how to Achieve Great Health, a doctorate or a few letters behind your name? (to be continued . . . )

Bob McCauley's Story of Great Health

I got my first warning sign that I was heading for physical ruin in 1992 after a stressful move from New Jersey to Michigan. I became quite ill over a 12 hourperiod and had to be taken to the hospital. The stabbing pain in my side was likely a kidney or gall stone, but the doctors never determined exactly what the problem was. Then it happened again one year later. I was on the road to the demise of my health.

Back then, I was a lacto-vegetarian. I consumed dairy products, but no meat at all. Even though I'd lived on a meatless diet for 12 years, I had acidified my body and laid myself wide-open to disease. I was in my thirties and wondered how I could have lived without meat for so long and still get sick. I got at least one cold or flu annually. One year, I had a chronic cough that lasted six weeks and I was never so miserable in my life. I knew something was still missing in my health picture, but I didn't know what it was. I learned later that the foods I was eating were killing me because they were not raw. (to be continued . . . )

Ionized Water

In order to be healthy we need only do three things: Alkalize, hydrate and detoxify the body. If we accomplish this, we can prevent and even cure the body of any disease. All we need to know is how to achieve this. Ionized Water accomplishes all these things and much more. It alkalizes, hydrates and detoxifies the body more effectively than any other substance. No other water can accomplish this. Running normal tap water through a water ionizer creates a miracle that can help put your body into a position of health you never imagined you could achieve.

I start each day with a 16 oz. glass of Ionized Water, fresh out of the tap at a pH 9.5 – 9.9. Considering that we spend 6 – 8 hours each night sleeping, the first thing we should do upon waking in the morning is drink a big glass of water. After my first glass of Ionized Water, I draw another and drink it over the next 30 – 40 minutes. Therefore, each day I consume one liter of water before I put anything else in my body.
