The Water Cure
Other things to improve your health aside from EFT
As promised in the previous post, there are other things you must do if you want to improve your health. With this post I decided to take something that a person can see results quickly and without changing their whole life around. With this, hopefully, you will be encouraged to take your health more seriously and continue to do what is necessary to improve it.
Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day
Water should be filtered—not tap water
Stop all drinks that have caffeine in it, such as coffee, tea (with the exception of caffeine-free tea), and all colas
Caffeine is a diuretic, which means that it takes more water out of the body than it puts in.
This alone will get rid of minor aliments, including headaches, artificial hunger and ulcers
Do this for a week, notice the difference each day and enter it in the journal. Then look back over the previous week and see how you feel.
There is a lot of information you can read on this of medical experiments and how people have improved on this one simple thing alone.
Testimonials
Enjoying Wonderfully Painless Days!
"For many years I suffered with headaches. I consulted doctors, neurologists, chiropractors, and spent hundreds of dollars for head-scans and X-rays, all to no avail. At times only my faith in God kept me from wanting to die, as I lie prone on my bed for days on end in pain… Can anyone, without experiencing it for themselves, really understand what it is like to have usually pain-filled days changed to wonderfully painless days when you can do the things you want to do, instead of being 'down with a headache?'…I thank you doctor for your great work and perseverance in bringing this truth to the people."
- Mavis Butler, North Queensland, Australia
Fewer Wrinkles and Improved Memory!
"Within the three months that I have been drinking the right amount of water the right way, my chronic mucous began to leave, my hair became soft, and my skin is becoming softer. I have fewer wrinkles (I am almost 70 years old). My stomach aches stopped. My toenails are not brittle. Two black spots I have had on my leg for several years as an aftermath of deep cuts have disappeared. My eyebrows grew back. There are dark streaks showing in my gray hair. My hair is coming in thicker and my memory is improving."
- Beth Whitney, Portland, Oregon
Everything Seems Easier to Do!
"At 82 years of age I am still in fair shape and only regret I did not have the superb advice of Dr. Batmanghelidj sooner… I have used his advice for the painful arthritis I have in my hands and back and, within two weeks, I have experienced considerable reduction of pain. I sleep better, I have more strength, with greater coordination and relaxation. I see life from a different point of view, where everything seems easier for me to do."
- Laurence Malone, Chagrin Falls, OH
Blood Pressure Plummets Without Drugs!
"Leaving years of diuretics and calcium-blockers behind, for three months I drank your recommended amount of tap water, occasionally more. My blood pressure, heretofore contained by drugs, gradually dropped from an average of 150-160 systolic/over 95-98 diastolic to an amazing, drug-free 130-135 systolic/over 75-80 diastolic average… This drug-free approach, based essentially on tap water and a pinch of salt, has relaxed my system and justifies the confidence that you hold the handles of a truly revolutionary and marvelous medical concept."
- Walter Burmeister, Lt. Col., El Paso, Texas
No More Heartburn!
"No more heartburn, back feels great, fantastic. No more drugs." - Harry Finn, North Carolina Asthma Cured and Energy Revived! "After five days of drinking eight glasses of water per day, my 72-year-old husband, Robert, whose healthy 170-pound body had shrunk to about 149 pounds, and whose energy level was almost non-existent, was revived. In six weeks, he returned the nebulizer which had kept him going for five months."
- Annette Culler-Penney, Upperville, Virginia
Blood Sugar Returns to Normal!
"Within 12 hours my skin was soft and silky and I looked very different as I became rehydrated. My blood sugar, checked a few times a day over several weeks, remained in the normal range…I wish I had realized the importance of adequate water intake daily at the start of my illness…"
- Margaret Longstaff, M.D., United Kingdom
Lost 35 Pounds and Keeping It Off!
"Within the last 9 months to a year, I have successfully been able to keep 35 pounds of excess baggage off. I am able to wear clothes that I thought would never touch my body again. My success has been attributed to faithfully drinking your recommended amount of water every day. I am looking forward to my wedding day when I can walk down the aisle looking better than I have in 15 years…"
- Donna Gutkowski, East Bethel, Minnesota
Pain-Free in One Hour!
"We read your book, did exercises you suggested, and started drinking water. Within one hour my back was pain-free, and has remained so ever since. God bless you." - Dorman Bryce, Salem, Oregon Angina Pain Vanishes! "The angina pain I endured for five years has disappeared and my distress from a hiatal hernia has greatly lessened. I feel like a new person!"
- Samuel M. Liguori, Pittston, Pennsylvania
Cholesterol Drops 76 Points!
"Last year I was shocked to discover that my blood cholesterol level had shot up to 279. When you 'prescribed' ample water be taken before meals instead of medication that I was just about to submit myself to, I was very skeptical. In two months, and with very little observance of all the old 'rules' which were making my life miserable, my cholesterol went down to 203 for the first time in more than nine years! My weight too was surprisingly down by about eight pounds and has since been under control...I believe I owe you a big THANK YOU."
- Mohammed Whaby, Washington, DC

EFT on Life-long Addictions
(Note: many people that that EFT works only on mild cases of illness, and think that because some problem is of long standing it will not work. Well, time is not the issue.
In the next postings of this blog—fantastichealth100.blogspot.com—we will take a look at other things that must be done to prevent illness and increase your current energy levels)
By Joan Hitlin
Dear Gary,
Since meeting you at the Holiday Inn in Emeryville just before Xmas I have been using EFT on myself for everything with impressive results.
I seem to have gotten over a lifelong addiction (not just the craving) by dealing with every thought that came up while tapping (aspects and sub-aspects).
GC COMMENT: When she talks of a "lifelong addiction" she means the jumping from addiction to addiction in much the same way as an alcoholic quits alcohol but then overdoes cigarettes, coffee or both. You will see evidence of that in her next paragraph (below). She indicates that she got over various addictions but what she really means is that she shifted from one addictive behavior to another...to another...to another...
JOAN CONTINUES: Here's my story: I was bulimic in my late teens. Got over it. I was a pack and a half smoker from 16 to 28. Got over it. I was a binge eater. Got over it. I was a carbohydrate junky. Got over it. I was an overeater at meals. Got over it.
GC COMMENT: As we see with some regularity, an underlying cause of addictive behaviors is the need to tranquilize a form of anxiety or unrest that comes about from unresolved emotional issues. Until we get down to the underlying emotional drivers, the addictive behaviors merely shift from one form to another.
JOAN CONTINUES: What remained was grazing or nibbling, mainly at night; chewing sugarless gum (a pack a day habit); and, most annoying, intense lip biting.
GC COMMENT: While chewing gum and lip biting are certainly milder than bulimia, it is still a "nervous habit," a form of tranquilizer like fingernail biting, skin picking and the like. I always assume such addictive behaviors are symptoms of underlying emotional causes.
JOAN CONTINUES: The lip biting was hardest to work with because I never became aware of it until I'd already been at it for a while.
Solution: I tapped on: night time eating, gum chewing, lip biting, the feeling of chewing in general, anxiety, boredom, fear, sadness, and whatever else came up while I was tapping (I don't remember it all).
GC COMMENT: While this appears to have worked nicely for Joan, I would suggest including, as tapping targets, some specific emotional events from her past that may be contributing to her ongoing unrest (anxiety). She may have done this in her tapping for "whatever else came up" but, as she says, she doesn't remember this specifically. I wish to emphasize, though, her method of tapping in daisy chain style on whatever issues come up. It shows promise. I think others (you?) may find success with it. It's certainly worth a try.
JOAN CONTINUES: It's been 2 weeks and without trying I've stopped chewing or buying gum (or wanting to); I've stopped nibbling, except when hungry; I've stopped lip biting!!!
Once in a while (rarely) I feel an urge to bite my lip and I tap, but mostly I'm not doing anything except noticing that I've stopped doing those behaviors. (If nothing else I'll save the $365. a year that I was spending on chewing gum. Hopefully it will keep me from getting lip cancer!)
GC COMMENT: Is she done with her addictive behaviors? Hopefully so--but we'll have to let time go by to know for sure. If they re-appear, I would take that as evidence of more issues to address.
JOAN CONTINUES: I have -- ta-da -- located one side effect of doing a self-directed EFT intensive. (I did have the week off). For a few days I felt over stimulated, jumpy and had a few nights of insomnia (not a usual problem). My solution was to do more EFT (I think aspects were coming up fast and furious) as well as to journal, and to be nice to myself in general, and it subsided.
Blessings and gratitude,
Joan
PS. I'm also using EFT successfully with my clients, but I won't write any more today.
