French Water Cure Diet® FAQ

The Diet is a patented, easy do-it-yourself (DIY) method to make healthy water for everyday drinking. It is the only diet method in the world to incorporate three different scientific processes to address and improve the qualitative aspects of water – pH, electrolytes and flow structure – and one scientific process to address improving the quantitative aspect of water with a monitor device. As a result, the Diet is based on good, sound, safe science.

It's not homeopathy because it includes added ingredients such as the minerals that permeate through the transformer as the water cures, and the added electrolytes.

The water cure copies Nature in how Nature itself makes curative water. The most curative waters have always been known to start from the source of mountain springs. Curative springs that flow down mountains and into streams often preceded human settlements, that chose to live near them for the water cure benefits.

Mountain springs are becoming more rare due to deforestation. When the trees are cut down, spring water tables are lowered, or completely disappear.

In order for the majority of mankind to benefit from and enjoy such fine waters for health (unless one is exceedingly wealthy and can afford fine imported bottled waters), a water cure such as French Water Cure Diet can be made at home.

The mystery of understanding disease and aging begins with knowing what our body needs throughout its lifetime to maintain health and vitality. Premature, unnatural aging can result from loss of water volume and the body being continuously exposed to contaminated water. Another major factor is the body's inability to adequately assimilate essential minerals and nutrients.

A major problem in maintaining health as years go by is a result of medications that have accumulated in the tissues. Even when a disease is treated successfully with drugs, the cells still retain the toxins of the medications that had been used to destroy them. As the years go by, this makes it possible for disease to re-emerge, as the body loses its sensation for thirst.

Water, which makes up over 70% of our body composition, is the most influential and vital component that provides the body with the ability to maintain health and prevent its deterioration. This can only happen if the quality, content, and structure of the water meets the body's requirements. For water to be most effective in our body, it is necessary for it to contain minerals that haven been completely assimilated in order to nourish and protect the cells. It should have a slightly higher alkaline pH, which is necessary to assure that the body fluids do not become and remain acidic, resulting in illness and more rapid aging.

However, because of contamination in our environment such as toxic wastes and chemical additives, food and water have been depleted of critical minerals necessary for metabolism. As a result, the body's chemistry becomes unbalanced, and destructive substances known as free radicals form. These free radicals destroy cells and cause the body in general to deteriorate.

As years of unintentional chronic dehydration go by, the body loses its ability to detect thirst. As the body becomes even more dehydrated, the onset of death is imminent with the appearance of degenerative diseases. These diseases could have been avoided had the individual taken the earlier precautionary action of proper body hydration with the highest quality water available, while avoiding dangerous, diuretic beverages that increase aging.

In the first days, you will notice more energy and better sleep. If your nose was chronically stuffed up, dry or caked, this almost immediately improves. Next, your skin will become softer, more glowing and eventually more blemish free. You will notice weight loss if you are overweight and constipation will disappear.

In the coming days, weeks and months you will notice more weight loss and improvements. If you suffer from the following, look for a cure or great relief:

* Angina
* Arthritis
* Asthma
* Autoimmune Diseases
* Back Pain
* Colitis
* Diabetes
* Heartburn
* High Blood Cholesterol
* High Blood Pressure
* Migraines
* Pain

But do take note -- this is assuming you stay with the program everyday. You can be cured with this water cure. But you must take charge and be committed to your own well-being! Your doctor won't do it for you!

If you have a condition, you may want to increase your electrolyte dosage to a minimum of one teaspoon per 54 oz bottle (80% of 2 liters) until the condition clears.

Likewise, download a hydration chart on the Instructions/Success tips page for use with the hydromotivator monitor. Remember to "Keep it in the Blue!" with full hydration indicator monitoring every day, whether you have a condition or not! Active monitoring and logging are mandatory for your success to beat any condition.

In fact there is. Your colon may have significant clogging in it to prevent the water cure from taking full effect. It is highly recommended that you consider a series of colon hydrotherapies to remedy this. Once your colon is free of these accumulated toxins, some of which may have been there for decades, the water cure is far more effective to permeate the intestinal walls so that it may hydrate blood cells.

Although some good comes out of personal colon hydrotherapy, the best service is performed by a registerd colon hydrotherapist. This may be one of the most important services you ever have done on your body. Remember, you only have one body in this lifetime; don't go cheap on this particular service. The number one occurring cancer is colon cancer, and it can be avoided by the two step method of water cure and colon hydrotherapy.

If problems continue to persist, consider going raw with living food, and avoid cooked food as much as possible. The easiest way to do this is to make smoothies, especially green smoothies. Check out some books on the benefits of green smoothies. The books by Viktoria Boutenko are very good.

If you follow all of the above, chances are extremely good you will be healed.

It’s very easy and takes very little time! All the items included in the kit work with one another. Complete instructions are sent with each order. Stay faithful to the whole method and you won't fail!

No, not really, although it is recommended, as usual, to get plenty of sun, exercise and fruits and vegetables. As your body changes with this diet you will actually find yourself more attracted to fruits and vegetables - mainly because your body pH is changing more towards that which is more alkaline in pH. One of the main reasons people don't eat enough greens, for example, is because greens are alkaline, and an acidic body is less inclined to be attracted to what it's not!

Even if you had a somewhat bad diet (ie, fast food 2-3x per week, not observing food groups and healthy foods, eating meats and greasy foods), the Diet will benefit you enormously and may even keep you out of the hospital! It does this by acting as an emulsifier of greasy food, while detoxing your body of nasty, fat-causing toxins from processed food additives.

Oh but there is so much more. Your teeth will be protected more with the water cure than any toothpaste can offer - but do note that we still recommend brushing!

The electrolytes and transformer contain bacteriacides - primarily silver - to protect your teeth, but operate far more efficiently than this one element when acting with all the minerals and electrolytes in unison.

Your teeth and gums will feel the difference.

Make sure you have the following ready to go, as they are not included in the kit: two empty 2 liter soda bottles with bottle seals cut off below caps, one small paper cup and an optional funnel. When your Diet kit arrives, place the cup and the hydromotivator monitor in the bathroom. Everything else will likely be located in the kitchen or anywhere else you want to make the water cure.

You are not only what you eat. More importantly, you are what you drink. You can live three weeks without food, perhaps only 3 days without water. On average, 70% of your body weight is water. For a two month old baby, the water content is 91% of the body weight. Water content of the eyeball is 99%, blood 85%, muscle 76% and bones contain 22%.

As for the electrolytes, they are trace nutrients. They are the literal building blocks of the universe. There are 103 known elements. Over 80 are in this electrolyte mix. You were literally created to have these electrolytes present in your body at all times - to be deplete of them is to live at your own peril!

In short, you will find that the Diet will contribute more to your health, and to every region of your body including the brain, than any other drug or food supplement on the market - and with zero side effects and many side benefits, some quite unexpected. That's a big promise and we plan on keeping it, but it's up to you to make it happen. Make the commitment to better your health with the Diet and you'll never regret it.

Not only will it, it can! Once your body starts changing you drift away from that which you no longer are. The Diet water has a high cure factor to those who are committed. The key to success is to log your hydration readings several times per day with the hydromotivator monitor. If you are consistently taking blue readings, your substance abuse will start falling away. (See Instructions / Success Tips).

Other substance abuse addictions that will be alleviated or cured:

* Alcohol
* Sugar
* Soda pop
* Greasy foods
* Medications or drugs, both prescribed or illegal
* Processed food toxins

Relax, soldier! This is not an "Awe and Shock" method like you read about in those magazine and Internet ads.

You can lose weight safely and slowly with this Diet. Safely and slowly is the best and only way to lose weight permanently. The Diet is not a temporary fad diet, whereby you lose weight fast, stop due to side effects and typically gain it back, plus more. The French Miracle Water Diet is perhaps the only diet you can be on for a lifetime without ever stopping. It is a permanent Diet! If losing weight is your aim, expect to lose about 2 lbs per week until you either change the formula and use more electrolytes – which will retain more water in your body – or until your body stops losing weight when it reaches optimal weight for your unique body! The Diet works best when you just relax and let Nature take its course!

If your first goal is to lose weight, do not exceed 1/2 teaspoon of electrolytes per 54 oz bottle.

Yes, absolutely. It’s completely safe to use with any other diet.

In Nature, everything is in the correct proportion. Any mineral or electrolyte used out of proportion or isolated and used or consumed could have side effects (ie, plutonium, mercury, etc.). To extract one or a few minerals out of the electrolyte mix will throw the others out of proportion and decrease their potency (quite like the analogy of throwing the baby out with the bathwater). In fact they are all needed when used together in even very trace amounts. Your observation of these three minerals are true only if they are isolated and overdosed, which is often the case in mercury (fillings and vaccines), lithium (neurosis med) and aluminum (pans, etc.).

Since we're on the subject, the electrolytes will also buffer aluminum, lithium and mercury overdoses in the cases I noted. This means that anyone who still has fillings, frys in aluminum pans or takes lithium (not that I advocate such practices...) will be helped because these overdoses will be partially or almost wholly neutralized from the buffering effect.

In summary, you are right that these three are dangerous, but only when they are isolated and ingested in far higher amounts. Bu the trace amounts of these three are buffered by the dozens of other electrolytes in the mix and rendered useful, not harmful.

The water won't taste as good because it is of a higher pH, approaching 9.5. It's totally safe. However, to dilute the taste at 90 minutes, add 50% more water, or 100% at 2 hours. The transformer will be used up faster as well. Using an oven timer or online countdown helps - http://www.online-stopwatch.com/

Yes! Previous studies suggest that proper hydration and electrolyte intake alone makes a basketball player make more baskets. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16960527
Yet the Diet addresses more than hydration and electrolytes by observing pH balance, flow structure, and high level monitoring, three often critically overlooked mental and physical performance factors that can add a competitive edge in any sport.

If you are a fitness fanatic, this is THE Diet to be on. There have literally been dozens of hydration and electrolyte clinical studies to confirm their benefits, while pH studies are still relatively new and flow structure studies are coming around in Russia and some Asian and European countries. As in anything new, the legal, premier athletes always use what's most beneficial and safe to keep their edge. Steroids and HGH are out - the Diet is IN.

Athletes may choose to supercharge their water cure by adding more electrolytes - 3-4 teaspoons - to their 54 oz water cure bottle and drinking it before (30-60 minutes prior) competition for added performance. In fact, anyone needing to perform, such as planning for sexual activity in advance, may do the same, for better results. You will achieve remarkable results in short training recovery in the gym when your water is "super-charged", while being high pH and flow structured.

Any blood clusters present need only 20-30 minutes maximum to decluster after drinking the water cure. The primary reason for low performance in any activity is due to unnecessary blood clustering, possibly as a result of stress, injury, diet or lack of exercise. Declustering the blood with the structured water of the Diet is the perfect antidote for achieving higher results and shortened recovery periods.

Electrolyte replacement during exercise can vary as much as tenfold between two athletes. No other area of endurance nutrition or supplementation calls for such individualized dosing. And perhaps no other area of fueling can drop you out of the competition as quickly as electrolyte depletion or overdose. This is a critically important area where correct dosing is a must; you simply mustn't consider getting electrolytes out of a premixed drink. The risk of too much fluid/too few electrolytes is high, which means bad news for your stomach, your muscles, and your performance.

You want a product that allows effective electrolyte replenishment under any weather condition, any length of exercise, and any intensity of exercise. French Water Cure Diet electrolytes, with its 80+ electrolytes, unlike any other pill, tablet, or premixed drink, is that product.

Yes! Keep track of your health by downloading hydration readings and health assessment charts.

Use your monitor hydromotivator monitor with the hydration readings chart to help you track your Diet hydration level - always keep it in the blue for maximum success. With the health assessment chart, track your health every week by rating each illness from a 1-4 scale, with 4 as most severe. If you stay true to the entire Diet method and once again - consistently achieve blue monitor readings - chances are your health is improving or is destined to improve!

In the case of multiple health symptoms on the assessments chart, keep in mind that your body may repair only one at a time - every body is unique. Just wait and be cured! It may not happen how you think it would happen, but just let it happen!

Completely safe. It’s the first and only Diet that addresses weight loss, health and wellness, healing and recovery and disease prevention and treatment. There are no side effects, only side benefits. You can only benefit when you make and drink your own French Water Cure Diet water.

The purpose of the French Water Cure Diet Transformer is to condition plain water for conversion to mountain spring quality. It contains minerals that do that: ground dechlorinating ceramics, tourmaline, coral fossil, binchotan charcoal, silver (as bacteriacide) and maifanshi stone.

The pH of the water will go up to an average pH of 8.2 (Tap water is 7.0 neutral).

Replace every 300 bottles (2 liter bottles filled 80%, or 54 oz).

You'll save a ton of money.

Let's figure the cost of Aquafina as an example. Cost: Case of 24 20 oz bottles = $18.

18 divided by 24 = 75 cents per bottle. 75 cents divided by 20 oz = you are paying 3.75 cents per oz. for Aquafina.

Now let's figure the cost per oz. of the French Water Cure Diet.

Based on calculation of:
One 2 liter bottle = 67.65 oz., minus 20% (80% filled for vortexing) = approx. 54 oz. per bottle.

One transformer makes just over 16,000 ounces, meaning you will be able to make about 300 54oz bottles (2 liter bottle, 80% filled) of French Water Cure Diet before replacing the transformer. Depending on your use, this same figure of 300 bottles holds approximately true for the electrolytes as well before they are depleted.

Therefore, we can very reasonably say that the original purchase of the French Water Cure Diet for $99.95 is good for 300 54 oz bottles of French Water Cure Diet water (before replacing the transformer and electrolytes).

300 x 54 = 16,200 total oz. $99.95 divided by 16,200 is $.006, or just slightly more than 1/2 penny per oz of French Water Cure Diet water.

So let's summarize.

Aquafina is $0.0375 cents per oz., and other than being plain water has no healing properties, is destructive to the environment, and you have to haul it from the store. It costs 6.25 times more than the French Water Cure Diet.

The French Water Cure Diet is $.006 cents per oz, has healing properties in it, is not destructive to the environment and you don't have to haul it from the store. It costs 6.25 times less than Aquafina and other popular storebrand bottled waters.

Let's say you drink just 40 oz, or two bottles of bottled water per day. That's $1.50 per day - not much, until you extrapolate the yearly cost at $547.50.

Now let's say you drink 54 oz of Diet water you make at home. At $.006 cents per ounce, that equals 32.4 cents per day, or $118.26.

With our Diet, you get more water and save $429.24. That answers your question, plus consider that not only do you save this money but you get the health benefits that you won't get from drinking just purified water, you'll save the environment from those empty bottles and you no longer have to transport that heavy water from the store.

Magnesium, Sodium, Chloride, Calcium, Potassium, and Sulfate are the dominant electrolytes. These are what one would often find in electrolytic beverages such as Gatorade. In the Diet, and in accordance with Nature, we also include the following in naturally occurring varying trace amounts: Boron, Carbonate, Bromide, Iodine, Rubidium, Cadmium, Boron, Phosphorus, Nickel, Manganese, Chromium, Strontium, Cobalt, Zinc, Titanium, Zirconium, Cerium, Barium, Copper, Iron, Silicon, Tantalum, Molybdenum, Tin, Gallium, Gold, Silver, Caesium, Beryllium, Selenium, Vanadium, Thallium, Holmium, Terbium, Praseodymium, Lutetium, Gadolinium, Samarium, Bismuth, Antimony, Erbium, Europium, Neodymium. Plus others for a total of over 80 electrolytic minerals working together as a complete whole.

The two highest-percentage electrolytes are sodium and chloride. This is what causes the electrolyte combination to taste "salty", and why we recommend a limitation of one-half teaspoon per bottle of 54 oz for every day use and to safely lose weight.

We list a profile of 27 electrolytes on our Electrolytes / Ingredients page, and the precise quantity content of nearly all of the electrolytes in the water cure, down to the parts per million.

The electrolytes work as catalysts along with the Transformer minerals to convert plain water into a water cure.

The water cure can be supercharged for persons with health problems for quicker recovery (use 1 or more teaspoons per bottle of 54 oz, depending on severity of condition) and athletes in training and before competition (use 3-4 teaspoons per 54 oz bottle 30-60 minutes before gametime).

Did you put in more than 1/2 teaspoon? 1/2 teaspoon to 54 ounces water is barely noticeable in taste.

Hexafluorosilicic acid has replaced the traditional flouride. Unlike the 80 + electrolytes that act independently and in unison, hexafluorosilicic acid does not exist as a discrete elemental species. It is produced as a byproduct from the aluminum industry, is toxic, aggressive and attacks glass, stoneware and enamel including tooth enamel.

Hexafluorosilicic acid is often not removed in most common tap water faucet filters (Brita, etc), and is only partially removed by reverse osmosis.

The French Water Cure Diet neutralizes and renders harmless this toxin and other excessively present heavy metals in tap water.

Consider that doctors are NOT nutritionists and have likely never learned the difference between refined salt and unrefined salt. For these professionals, "salt is salt". Unfortunately, even nutritionist academics miss the boat on this as well. Their study does not cover it, or it just skims over it, as if it's not very important. Even at time of this FAQ - as this 2/24/2010 editorial in the NYTimes shows - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/23/science/23tier.html - there is more confusion now than ever over the role of salt in human health.

We feel this ignorance is a very dangerous stance. The World Health Organization has long stated that demineralized water (or aggressive, industrialized water) has longterm health consequences.

Animals absolutely crave electrolytes and search for them constantly in Nature, and on farms where they are allowed to roam.

There is no doubt that refined table salt, which has been sterilized of nutrients other than sodium, chloride and iodine and uses chemical de-caking agents, can be dangerous. We need to reduce table salt and MSG consumption in processed foods while considering the benefits of the numerous electrolytes in the Diet.

Sodium and chloride are only two of the electrolytes in the Diet mix. Consider talking to your doctor on the differences between "the salt" your doctor is against and electrolytes. Chances are, your doctor will allow electrolytes, even if the doctor originally ordered a low salt-diet.

Research shows that without a doubt, even a handful of electrolytes helps energy or health recovery (from Gatorade to concentrated Hospital IV's)...but how about a supercharged version of over 80 electrolytes and minerals? That's a quantum leap into unknown regions of health that is only justified by the ancient wars over certain mines in the world containing these minerals. These electrolytes are just as valuable now as they were back then, when water cures were the norm for wealth, power, health, recovery, energy and endurance! Back then, the army that had the electrolytes was strong and endured. The army that had no electrolyte access - because their opponent controlled the mines - became weak and depleted and died off from disease, infection and malnutrition!

Yes, and you’ll be healthier and glad you make that decision!

Yes! Any of your house pets will prefer the Diet’s water you make over any other water. Use a more powerful mix of electrolytes (experiment for reaction, start with 2 teaspoons/54 oz, more for disease recovery) and give this water to your pet. Your pet will love you for it! Big smile : )

Absolutely not, and from a legal standpoint, we would be in error to tell you to replace your medications or other medical treatments with the Diet. Scientifically, the Diet addresses hydration, electrolyte, pH and flow structure. These are all important, as they help fill a considerable gap in care between the doctor and you. In fact, medications and treatments, such as chemotherapy, will work better with the Diet.

As always, consult with your doctor for the right care, and if he/she has never heard of the Diet, now's the time to introduce the method. They will be glad you did as most doctors already prescribe water, but are unfamiliar with a water curing method.

Yes, use filter treated water. You can use a basic (Brita) filter, distilled, store-bought ($0.25/gal) or a home reverse osmosis system to obtain treated filtered water. We must ask you to use treated water because we do not claim to be a tap water treatment company as the companies that soften or make your filtered water do!

The first vortex may collapse due to pressure build-up. Release the pressure by partially unscrewing the bottle briefly to let air in, then tighten back up. This will happen with cold water, but rarely with lukewarm. Remember to use a table for leverage. You will get the hang of it.

Quite good. Not harsh like purified or distilled water alone. It goes down easily, is digested fast and feels great.

Yes. Most purified bottled water is inferior and is even bad for your health, according to a World Health Organization study. http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/nutdemineralized.pdf
In studies, an average of 20% of bottled water had bacteria counts in them considered to be unsafe. http://www.mdconsult.com/das/article/body/180573912-2/jorg=journal&source=&sp=21027988&sid=0/N/663160/1.html?issn=1473-3099

In addition, consider how much money you can save over the long run and how much stress you can take off the environment by making your own premium health water!

The Diet water tastes great on its own but it's fine to add a few drops of lemon or lime juice to taste.

You'll need a new transformer. Electrolytes can be ordered at the same time if you are running short.
