Why is water so important for EESystem sessions?

Why you should drink more water - Vital Body Wellness Centre

For the last two and a half years, here at Vital Body Wellness Centre people have been using Adelaide’s first EESystem, coupling it with Browns Gas (a better form of Hydrogen Therapy) and Ionic Footbaths to super charge their body’s inbuilt ability to heal itself. And in that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that over 90% of people who come here, live in a chronically dehydrated state. They have been that way often for decades ad to them it is just normal. 

Many people we meet, rarely drink water; instead filling their daily liquid intake with coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices, energy drinks etc. So, when we are constantly telling people to drink more pure water, they are curious as why they should, if they are drinking so many other things.

Many people don’t realise that drinks with sugar, caffeine and carbonation actually dehydrate the body, rather than hydrate the body. They affect the biochemistry of the body in a negative way.

Our bodies need WAY more water for the base line day to day processes that our bodies require, than most people realise. And if we are needing to detoxify and heal, then we will often need even MORE than the first amount.

An excellent book that we recommend here at the centre ,‘You’re not sick, you’re thirsty’ by Dr F. Batmanghelidj, is a 20-year study on the effects of chronic dehydration on the body. Here are some reasons why the body needs water.

Without water, nothing lives.

Comparative shortages of water first suppress and eventually kills some aspects of the body. 

Water is the main source of energy – it is the ‘cash flow’ of the body. 

Water prevents DNA damage and makes it repair mechanisms more efficient. 

Water increases greatly the efficiency of the immune system in the bone marrow, where the immune system is formed (all its mechanisms) including its efficiency against cancer. 

Water energizes food and food particles are then able to supply the body with this energy during digestion. This is why food without water has absolutely no energy value for the body. 

Water increases the body’s rate of absorption of essential substances in food. 

Water increases the efficiency of red blood cells in collecting oxygen in the lugs. 

Water clears toxic waste from different parts of the body and takes it to the liver and kidneys for disposal. 

Water is the best lubricating laxative and prevents constipation. 

Water helps reduce the risk of heart attack and strokes. 

Water gives us power and electrical energy for all brain functions, particularly thinking. 

Water helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression. 

Water restores normal sleep patterns. 

Water dilutes the blood and prevents it from clotting during circulation. 

Dehydration prevents sex hormone production – one of the primary causes of impotence and loss of libido.  

Dehydration causes deposits of toxic sediments in the tissue spaces, joints, kidneys, liver, brain and skin. Water will clear these deposits.  

Water integrates mind and body functions. It increases ability to realize goals and purpose. 

Water helps prevent the loss of memory as we age. It helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease.’

When we are wanting the body to heal, it makes sense to understand that all systems need to be online. The millions of processes that go on every day in the body require water to work properly. So, if we need all of our systems working properly so we can detoxify and heal, it makes sense that the body requires adequate amounts of water to do this.  

Detoxification for Healing 

Before the body starts to heal, it must first detoxify and clean out a whole lot of toxins, poisons, waste products that shouldn’t be there. Once that the body has cleared out a whole lot of gunk and then comes back into a state or equilibrium or homeostasis, we can start to heal. You can find out more information about practical ways to do this in another article we have written here. 

Our body has many ways that it detoxifies. Through the breath, the skin, the bowels, the lymph system, the liver and the kidneys. And we need to be well hydrated for these pathways of detoxification to be working well. 

As an example, it is not hard to imagine how well the bowels will expel waste if we are dehydrated. The fecal matter hardens due to dehydration and then we get constipated. So, this waste continues to sit in our bowel and the toxins and reabsorbed into the blood stream, creating more toxicity in the body.

Or if there is not enough water in the lymph system, the lymph which should be a clear, free flowing liquid that moves easily around the body, collecting toxins and transporting them out of the body becomes a sludgy, stagnant river, full of toxins and waste products that do not exit the body in a timely manner. This garbage disposal system just gets more and more clogged over time, a bit like a blocked drain.

I could go on and on about how dehydration affects all of these detoxification systems, but I assume you get the idea.  

With a well hydrated body, people can poop, wee, expel toxins through their skin and breath and have a lymph system moving better (plus doing dry skin brushing, exercise, rebounding, lymph drainage massage can assist this most essential of systems too), in a manner that supports healing.

One of the best ways to support your body through its detox process is with an ionic footbath - these help to kickstart your body's natural detox process, while assisting in rebalancing the charge of your cells. This can be seen below, and learnt about on our website - www.vitalbodywc.org/services.

Charging up our cells

So, with EESystem sessions in particular, one of the main things that research has shown is that our cells require a millivoltage charge for excellent health of between -70 to -90 millivolts. In essence our cells are like batteries, so if you can imagine trying to charge an old battery that is dry and doesn’t have the correct amount of fluid/acid etc in it… you can plug it in all day, the battery is not going to take a charge or not going to a hold a charge for very long.

The same with our cells, want people to be able to get the very best out of their sessions and have the most impactful change for them every time. So, if they come in dehydrated, the positive effects of their sessions are going to be limited indeed, their cells will struggle to take that charge on.

‘Water generates electrical and magnetic energy inside each and every cell of the body – it provides the power to live’. You’re not sick, you’re thirsty. 

Detox reactions

Some people can actually feel slightly under par or a bit rubbish when they are detoxing after EESystem sessions. Sometimes it is because they have a sensitive constitution and other times it is because their detox pathways in the liver can be impaired. But most often, we see it is because people are not hydrating well so they are really asking their bodies to do the impossible! To detoxify while being in a dehydrated state.

We will get phone calls occasionally from people, wondering why they are feeling so terrible after their sessions. The first question we always ask is, have you increased your water intake? And have you done your detox bath? Usually, the answer is no to one of these and most often, no to both.

While there are other things that people can do to assist the body to detoxify and heal like our ionic footbaths (especially good for people with impaired detox pathways) and also adding in Browns Gas (hydrogen is the world's most potent antioxidant and the free electrons give the body energy to do the cleaning that is needed to do), the most simple thing and the first port of call is TO DRINK MORE WATER!

Going back to the ‘You’re not sick, you’re thirsty book’ Dr Batmanghelidj has come up with a formula where you can calculate how much water your body needs each day.

His simple yet effective formula is 1L of water per 30 kilograms of body weight, with ¼ teaspoon of pure Celtic Sea salt for every L consumed.

So, without water, the body is a desert. Systems don’t work well, processes that are necessary don’t occur and the body lives in an ‘emergency type setting’. We stay upright and alive but only doing the bare minimum. We age more rapidly, get dis-eased more easily and just exist rather than thriving.  

Here at Vital Body Wellness Centre, we want people of all walks of life and ages to thrive in every area of their lives. And this starts with health. You might have the best relationships, the most fulfilling career, all of the material things you could possibly want. BUT if you don’t have your health, you absolutely can’t enjoy any of those other things. Our health determines every single other aspect of our life.  

We see miracles here every day at Vital Body Wellness Centre. We see over and over again that when you give the body what it needs and take away the things that it shouldn’t have, the body just heals. So we encourage you to start with increasing your water intake - pure, high quality water. Your body will thank you for it and it will heal so much easier here at the centre.
