emergency room is an intravenous saline solution. Emergency room doctors are well
aware that dehydration, second only to oxygen deprivation, is the fastest thief of life.

Protoplasm, the basic material of living cells, is made of fats, carbohydrates, proteins,
salts, and similar elements combined with water. Water acts as a solvent, transporting,
combining, and chemically breaking down these substances. A cell exchanges elements
with the rest of the body by electrolysis. In a normal case, minerals and microelements
pass through the cell membrane to the nucleus by electro-osmosis. The body needs
electrolytes (minerals like sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate) for its basic
functions.

Cells are made of water and live in a water solution. Our blood is mostly water. It serves
to dissolve, process, and transport nutrients and eliminate waste. When dehydrated the
blood becomes thick and saturated and is unable to flow freely. The excess of toxins must
then be stored within the interstitial space surrounding the cells, pending elimination for
life to continue. Over time this space begins to resemble a toxic waste site—an acidic
medium. Since cells do not have proper oxygenation and nutrition, they begin to change
in form and function in order to survive.

Painful joints are often a signal of water shortage, thus the use of painkillers does not cure
the problem but instead exposes the person to further damage from these pain
medications. Intake of water and small amounts of mineral salts will address this problem
especially if that mineral is magnesium.

Dr. Norman Shealy says, “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium
deficiency” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical
stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more
diseases than any other nutrient.” The benefits of drinking water are amplified
immensely with water high in magnesium and bicarbonates.

Like water we need magnesium every day. When magnesium is present in water, life and
health are enhanced. One of the main benefits of drinking plenty of magnesium-rich water
is to prevent heart disease and stroke even in children. Full hydration is essential to
help prevent clogging of arteries in the heart and brain. When water is rich in magnesium,
