The X-Files: Why Mineral Water Is Used With Covid

“Water is the only drink of a wise man.” – Henry David Thoreau.

Power of water

The power of “living” and “dead” water is known to every child from fairy tales. There is always a deep meaning in folk art: indeed, water is a universal solvent, it can be charged, purified, made into medicine or poison. There is even an interesting version of the origin of life on Earth – the so-called theory of “primordial soup”. We need water for life – this is a fact, but let’s see what the main task of water is.

Man is complex. For the well-coordinated work of the body, consistency in the work of each organ is required. Water carries neurotransmitters, electrolytes, hormones and vitamins. And this is exactly what is needed to unite cells, organs and systems into one whole – the human body. Therefore, we cannot live without water for more than 5 days, and with an emergency loss of one fifth of the liquid, the so-called dehydration, the death of a living organism occurs.

How important is the quality of the water we drink? To answer this question, let us recall the main processes involving water:

• Regulation of body temperature.

• The transformation of consumed food into elements suitable for building tissues.

• Release of energy from food.

• Protection of skin and mucous membranes from external influences.

• Removal of metabolic products from the body.

• Metabolism.

Of course, to perform these functions, you need the highest quality and useful water.

Necessary micro and macro elements

Most of the elements of the periodic table are present in the human body. There are about 80 in total, and 25 of them are vital for us. The human body cannot produce micronutrients by itself, so we have to get them along with drinking or food. Prolonged lack of micronutrient intake leads to serious illness and even disability. In this case, irreversible processes of cell death are triggered and the connections of the main systems are destroyed.

That is why it is so important to monitor the intake of micro and macro elements constantly, and it is better to have some supply of them just in case.

Basic elements of natural mineral waters

• Hardware carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, providing the processes of respiration and nutrition of cells. With insufficient iron content, iron deficiency anemia can occur. The main symptoms are: chronic fatigue, pale and dry skin, brittle nails, alopecia, depression, decreased immunity and frequent colds. Iron deficiency is most susceptible to women.

• Iodine. Living in endemic areas with low iodine content leads to thyroiditis. Most often, middle-aged women are affected by this disease. Also, iodine is indispensable for the normal functioning of the entire endocrine system as a whole. With insufficient intake, apathy, drowsiness, obesity and frequent colds can develop.

• Magnesium… Macronutrient of good mood! With its lack, there is a danger of developing depression, muscle spasms, and vegetative crises. Magnesium is able to reduce pressure and relieve muscle hypertonicity, improve sleep and mood. Plus, it can regulate the heart rate and is considered important in pregnancy.

• Calcium. Without it, we would be as soft as a rag toy. It is this macronutrient that is responsible for the strength of bones and teeth. Deficiency can lead to fractures, accidental falls, muscle atrophy, dental problems, and early aging of the body.

What happens to the body when ARVI is affected

Evolutionarily, the relationship between the virus and the person has led to a certain system of interaction and struggle. The purpose of the virus is reproduction, the purpose of the human body is not to let itself be destroyed. The main role in this relationship belongs to the immune system. The secreted substances and special cells try to kill the virus. As a result of the struggle, decay products arise that can damage the vascular epithelium and mucous membranes. Immune complexes are formed, which lead to the onset of intoxication and overreaction of the parasympathetic nervous system. A possible result is damage to the microvascular bed, respiratory, nervous and immune systems at the same time.

When infected with ARVI, it is recommended to flush the mucous membranes, removing the virus, which multiplies there in the first days. And it is best to do it with mineral water.

If intoxication occurs, you need to drink as much as possible. It is mineral water that is able to remove decomposition products and intoxication.

Experience of using mineral water in patients with COVID-19

During the pandemic, I had many patients, more than two hundred. My first recommendation is to drink as much as possible. The second is to rinse your nose and gargle with mineral water. But this in no way cancels the call to the doctor. Self-medication is categorically not worth it.

Drinking water, up to 2 liters per day, can help reduce fever. When appointing “Vincentki” и “Break of Water” patients drank water willingly, noting its pleasant taste. In dynamics, it became noticeable that they were less prone to depression. Most of the patients underwent full outpatient treatment. Unfortunately, at that time I did not keep statistics. And only now I understand that water could contribute to recovery.

Personal experience

I was lucky: working on the front lines with COVID-19, I stayed healthy. It was during this period that I began to drink Prolom. The water is tasty, clean, and I drank it with pleasure. Then I tried alkaline Bilinsku Kiselkuand I liked it too. These waters helped me to accustom myself to drink, before it did not work. I got rid of the slight swelling from my fingers and my skin is better despite the hard work and little sleep.
