Water is a simple substance consisting of one part oxygen and two parts hydrogen. It has no calories, it’s low in sodium, and contains no caffeine. Water has no fat and no cholesterol.

Every cell, tissue, and organ of body needs water to function. The body needs water more than it needs any other nutrient. Water is main constituent of every bodily fluid--blood, saliva, urine, amniotic fluid (the liquid in a fetal sac), perspiration, synovial fluid, sputum, and tears. Water moistens eyes and tissues lining nose and mouth.

You ask how much water is required by human body? The American Dietetic Association recommends 8-12 cups of water daily. The National Kidney Foundation says, "You should drink at least 12 to 16 cups (3 to 4 quarts or liters) of fluid throughout day. Most of this should be water."

I can't stress to you enough importance of water for a healthy diet/lifestyle. It’s one of my incredible secrets that's really no secret at all.

Research done on embryonic stem cells are obviously not going to be source of a cure for anything except search for some black hole in which to dump a lot of resources that can be allocated to much wiser pursuits. It has been shown that safe, natural and effective increase of stem cells in human body can be achieved by addition of certain nutrients to your diet. Give your body nutrients it needs to produce trillions of stem cells on its own. Recent research shows that adding these necessary ingredients to your daily food intake will result in an increase in stem cell count coming form your own bone marrow stem cell production. This situation can lead to restoration of cell function throughout body. And it is important to consider that this can be achieved with but a small fraction of cost of such extravagant and risk laden procedures as are mentioned above. The fact that safe and effective increased stem cell production can be induced by dietary supplementation is a common sense approach that needs to be considered as a worthy course of action against backdrop of this rather bizarre public display of emotional outbursts, hastily funded research, morally based arguments and fantastically expensive therapies that we have been obsessed with lately.

Our new understanding of how stimulating development of bone marrow stem cells, which have capacity to develop into any cell body needs, has provided us with a scientific understanding of how many different areas of human body can be maintained and repaired where our previous knowledge of such benefits were thought not to be possible. Restorations in such vital and complex areas as brain function with dietary supplementation as catalyst is an amazing discovery. Imagine, if you will that people who have suffered loss of brain and central nervous system function due to strokes, trauma or neurodegenerative disorders can heal and regain lost abilities that previously physicians and scientists had regarded as permanent and irreversible. That is magic of properly supported human machine.

So, don’t hold your breath for embryonic stem cell research to develop cure for Alzheimers or anything else. That just “ain’t goin’ ta’ happen’.” Help your body produce all of stem cells needed to maintain and repair itself with appropriate nutritional support. Remember to move your body, eat well, supplement wisely, drink plenty of pure, filtered, and enhanced water and support your body’s natural ability to produce stem cells necessary to maintain and repair itself while it continues to move you toward health and wellness.
