''Obesity'' - Completed shortly before his untimely death in November 2004, this final, topical book of a series of six by Dr Batmanghelidj offers radical new solutions to the health crisis announced in ''The Times'' on Saturday 26 February 2005: namely that in the UK alone ...'More than 8 million are now dangerously obese.' Depression and anxiety are now the most common reasons for people starting to claim long-term sickness benefits, researchers in London have found. They have overtaken musculo-skeletal conditions such as back pain which used to prompt most such claims, the team told the ''British Medical Journal''. They called for more to be done to help people with depression return to work and the Kings College Hospital team said these benefits. This book offers a new and original solution to the three most devastating diseases to afflict the health of our world today...obesity ...cancer...and depression...More importantly, this solution 'needs no doctor's prescription, is freely available, costs nothing and has no dangerous side effects. It is the medication our body cries out for when it is stressed - It is good old plain natural water.'Dr Batman's message in all his revolutionary books has always been clear 'You are not sick you are thirsty' and after three decades of dedicated research and communicating his breakthrough in medicine, this last book highlights the three major health issues of our day and expounds further on the wisdom that it is dehydration which lies at the root of many of today's serious modern diseases. The extraordinary and ground-breaking medical legacy left to us by Dr Batmanghelidj is simply in short - that water should be our number one dietary supplement - and in this book he spells out in particular how it can help us to recover from or avoid becoming fat, getting depressed and developing cancer.
