An especially important result of this treatment is that it cleanses the colon, which makes the body much more able to absorb nutrients from food.More recently in the 1970’s, now famous, Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj,re-discovered this ancient knowledge and found through his own research,that water can naturally heal us from diseases likehigh blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, autoimmune disorders, diabetes and migraines using what he calls: water therapy.
