Water and weight loss go hand-in-hand. Let me give you an illustration. When you empty pot of oatmeal into sink it just sits there. If you didn’t do anything with it and allowed it to sit, eventually it would ferment and rot, and become infested with flies or maggots. Imagine if you eat a meal and don’t take in any liquids, your food would just sit there and ferment and rot causing constipation and other digestive problems.

Once you’ve thrown oatmeal into sink, if you wash it down drain with water, it will easily go down pipes and your sink will be clean and fresh and healthy. The body is same way. You’ve got to wash that meal down pipes (your esophagus) with water to keep your system clean and fresh and healthy.

The much publicized stem cell research debate focusing on moral arguments is off target with goal of real progress in direction of human physiological benefits potential. No matter what side of this issue you come down on, practical considerations ultimately trump this emotionally clouded subject. Stem cells are a valuable renewing asset of human physiology and thus are deserving of our intense interest, but passionate disagreement about research and cloning issues miss mark of discovering just how simply we can use what we already know about stem cells and how we can benefit from that knowledge to improve health of everyone.

Let us start with basics. Stem cells are produced in bone marrow of our bodies. They have remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types. Serving as a sort of repair system for body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell or a red blood cell. Stem cells have ability to regenerate any other cell in body. Thus a stem cell can become a neuron, a liver cell, a brain cell, a fingernail cell, or any other cell that needs to be replaced or repaired.

Because recent progress has been made in area of naturally increasing production of stem cells in human body, researchers mistakenly believe that injection or artificial means of increasing stem cell count in a person is pathway to curing diseases. This line of experimentation has already shown to be a direct route to disaster. Implanting stem cells in laboratory animals has created malignant tumors and has otherwise resulted in various counterproductive effects ranging from slow and costly to lethal. There is no substitute for body’s natural production of stem cells. This system has been developed over eons as opposed to recently generated arrogance and stupidity of our thought processes that think this marvel of human physiological engineering can be reproduced in a laboratory.
