This sorry state applies most obviously to you in the field of health since you have been interested in this Book.

I am eager to share with you more of this type of information. To further that purpose I offer a free trial subscription to my monthly newsletter, Viewpoint, when you register your purchase of this Book with me.

My newest Book, Four Roads To Ruin, Your Health In The Twenty-First Century, [ISBN:1-882537-06-8] is to be published in summer of 1995.

Just send me your name and address. Send them to me, Karl Loren, PO Box 10443, Burbank, CA 91510.

But, consider how messed up are the fields of education, of politics, of economics and of international relations. In each of these areas there are principles and truths yet to be presented, and I, as an author, am eager to share my insights in these areas too.

It is not that I am a brilliant technical researcher. No, I’m nothing more than an objective observer -- one who sees the truth of what is there when others have been blinded by the deliberate lies.

I got my first interest in drinking more water when I was suffering from back pains that had continued for more than five years. I was going to the chiropractor, sometimes as often as twice a week. Sometimes the pain in the morning would be so bad that I had to take pain-killers.

I would often go to bed at night with the certain and dread knowledge that I would wake up in the morning in pain. I was not in pain at night, but during the night something happened with my back and I awoke in pain.

Those pains have now been gone for many months, as I write these words in April, 1995, I’ve been drinking far more water for several months and the relief from back pain started immediately.

There is an entire book I expect to write about the fraud in medical treatment of back problems. The worst fraud, of course, is the knife-happy surgeon who starts cutting into your spine! That is so evil that I can’t wait to expose it.

Yes, even arthritis gives way to water. If you use shark cartilage also, you’ll get excellent results.

Many people, particularly older people, suffer from water retention -- where their feet, usually, get swollen and puffy. There are many drugs which are used to "solve" this problem, but as you can guess, these drugs actually aggravate the water shortage in the body.

The best solution, as already indicated, is to drink more water!

Here’s a story from a person who bought the first edition of this Book:

A woman wrote me just a few weeks after my Book, Life Flow One, The Solution For Heart Disease, was published. She had purchased an early copy, but too late for her mother. Her mother had died just a few days before the woman read my book.

My book might have saved her mother’s life.

The doctor in this story comes close to deserving a criminal indictment -- but doctors won’t testify against other doctors so there is no self-policing within that "profession." Ask YOUR doctor if he would testify against another.

This woman wrote, tearfully, that her mother had been doing rather well, at 81, but suffered from edema. That’s usually understood as a puffy or swollen area, often of the ankles or legs, which traditionally indicates too much fluid in that area.

Modern medicine treats edema with a diuretic. If there is too much fluid, take a drug and then pee the "excess" water out! When you understand the body’s need for water, covered in my Book, you’ll see that edema is a sign that the body is dehydrated and is hanging on to whatever water is available. The cure for edema is usually to drink more water, not pee it out. The woman in this story read that in my Book, just a short while after her mother died.

A lack of water can cause hypertension, or even depression. When a doctor "treats" hypertension with an antihypertensive drug, instead of finding the true cause, he is guilty of malpractice, in my book. The drugs mentioned in the story below, Lasix and Capoten, are both psych-oriented diuretic antihypertensive drugs.

Dear Karl,

I recently received your excellent Life Flow book. Sadly, it came too late to help my mother. She died September 26th.

I am quite sure that her prescription "drugs" killed her. I thought I had her convinced never to take another pill and to drink lots of water. She was so dehydrated that the skin on the back of her hand remained standing up after being pinched.

Her murderer/doctor told her she had edema, he prescribed 40 mg of Lasix per day and later, told her to take 2 tablets per day. He also told her to take 12.5 mg of Capoten, 3X a day! She apparently didn’t think she was getting well quickly enough so she started taking the Lasix again, as directed -- her blood pressure fell to 88 over 50 for a couple of days. The doctor told her to cease all medication and wanted to hospitalize her but she refused.

Within 6 days of stopping the pills she was dead.

She only had one kidney and I don’t think she could get rid of the poison from the drugs quick enough.

Her death, of course, is listed as "natural." I wonder if there really is such a thing anymore.

Just last year, my 35 year old cousin died of an asthma attack, of all things. He, of course, was on lots of medication.

By the way, my mother was 81 years old but I’m sure she had another 10 years at least.

You have no idea how sick this makes me.

People suffer from the madness of doctors in the privacy of their funeral homes, while doctors try to escape the guilt of their sins by playing golf! Psychiatrists have one of the highest suicide rates of any group. Long ago they realized, deep in their hearts, that they had no help to offer. The regular medical doctor is fast moving in that same direction. He, like the psychiatrist, is desperately trying to cause an effect, any effect, and now with government and insurance encouragement, he prescribes book-approved drugs so as to escape any pangs of conscience for a wrong personal judgment.

He doesn’t have to be personally responsible if he gives the government-approved drug for the symptoms he sees. And, who can come along later, when the patient is dead, and prove that his observation of those symptoms was incorrect?

The doctor HAD to find something wrong -- something that could be treated with a drug out of the approved treatment bible, or insurance wouldn’t pay. How could that doctor earn a penny telling this old woman to go home and follow her daughter’s advice -- drink more water?

The doctor lost a profitable patient, but he can blame it on the patient for lack of patient compliance. That’s another term you will hear the doctors talking about, among themselves. They all "know" that the real problems with patients is that the patients won’t follow the doctor’s orders -- that’s why psychiatrists thought they had it so good when they got the power to lock up THEIR patients, and inject them with drugs against their wills.

Even family physicians sometimes resort to committing a patient to a psychiatric ward just so they can get them locked up and ensure patient compliance with the drug injections. Psychiatrists have the power to intervene in your life. They have the power to get the police to take you to a hospital where you will be tied down while your body is injected with drugs, against your will. Family physicians haven’t been able to get that power openly, but they are achieving it through the role which government and insurance companies are now playing in the standards of health treatment.

Long ago doctors may have had a noble purpose, but in the past fifty years or so they have become mere prostitutes, accepting money and performing as requested. Since the patient so seldom pays, the prostitutes do the bidding of the man with the money.

Do you want to test YOUR doctor? Take this Book, or copies of Viewpoint to him and ask him to read it. Insist that he give you an opinion.

He probably won’t like this data! Then compare! Give this to your friends and neighbors. Find out how many of them would agree with these statements and opinions!

One of the largest sources of health upset in America is the all-too-common upset stomach.

One of the largest sources of profits for drug companies comes from the sale of antacids and other substances for handling gas and upset stomachs.

Insufficient water is the real cause.

Antacids aggravate the problem terribly.

What doctor is going to make money by telling his patient to "Go home and drink 8 glasses of water per day, for three days. If that doesn’t handle the pain in your stomach, come back and see me."

Such a doctor would get very few return visits.

An entire book needs to be written on this subject. I’m eager to do it and have it on my schedule.

More people die of heart disease than any other source of death, so that has been the subject of this Book.

But, more people lose time off from work because of back aches than any other source, so that needs to be another high priority for publishing the data about water.

But, even though heart disease kills millions, and even though back aches give people problems at work, it’s stomach upset which is the every-day life for even more millions of people in pain.

You can take my word for it right now -- just increase your intake of water when you have stomach or digestion problems. In many cases the pain will go away in less than an hour.

It’s worth a try.

You’d be amazed at how much money drug companies make with mood changing drugs. Psychiatric drugs have a particularly dehydrating effect on the body -- an effect hardly ever mentioned in studies that look for adverse reactions to drugs.

Other drugs are used for heart problems, allergies, back aches and stomach problems. Virtually all of these drugs increase the problem of water shortage in the body. When you see the word "antihistamine," you are seeing a drug which is blocking one of the most common natural actions of the body. Every cell in the body can and does produce the substance called histamine -- it the body’s warning message that the cell is in trouble.

The most common sort of body trouble, now-a-days, is a shortage of water. So, the cell emits histamine and your nerve fibers pick up this chemical with a sensation of pain. When you take some drug to block the action of histamine, you may get rid of the pain for a while, but you have done nothing to alleviate the source of that pain message. So, as lack of sufficient water is often the root cause of physical problems, the anti-histamine is simply hiding an important message your body is trying to send to you.

The Wall Street Journal, in its edition of July 21, 1994, reported on the earnings of several drug firms. Interestingly, these drug companies obtained most of their profits from categories of drugs which all cause shortages of water in the body.

Then, just a few days later, also in the Wall Street Journal there is an article about a Harvard Medical School research report which shows that more than 6.8 million Americans, over the age of 65, are being prescribed drugs where the FDA approval for the drug included restrictions on prescription for those over 65.

What are those drugs?

They are the some of the drugs which cause the body to need more water while at the same time damaging the body’s ability to send you a message that you need more water.

Is there no end to the bad effects of drugs?
