I use to have headaches and chronic low back pain...
I've been doing the water cure for
about 2 years now; rarely do I have a headache
or back pain; and when I do get a headache or
back pain I increase the amount of water; it
works "for me"...

I bought Dr. B's book on water and it makes
a lot of sense...

Not sure of the placebo factor; however, all
I know is it works for me and the friends who
have tried it...

I've recently been looking at a web site
