POSITIVE LIVING WITH WATER

Water is the key to life. All living plants and creatures are composed of water.

Salt is the key  to life in conjunction with water in producing homeostasis or water salt balance.

All plants and living creatures have a given water salt balance that maintains life. If the balance changes, the living entity may die.

Think of a small plant placed in the ground. We water the plant regularly with a steady growth of leaves and branches.

We place a large handful of fertilizer around the base and the plant slowly wilts and dies. The salts in the fertilizer have entered the plant massively changing the water-salt balance.

High concentration to low concentration

High concentration of salts outside will enter the plant to an area of low concentration of salts. High concentration of water inside will leave the plant to the low concentration of water outside. Then the plant dries out and dies.

We have the same with human beings suffering from HIV/AIDS. In a normal person, there are water and salts that enter the digestive system.

These are absorbed in the small intestine and contribute to a water salt balance. This equalizes the homeostatic balance of all tissues and organs. But we should not eat too much salt.

This means that all processes in the body will operate normally. There will be water salt content in the blood, lymph, organs, brain, nervous system, reproductive fluids, bone marrow, urine and faeces.

But a person in later stages of HIV/AIDS will have damage to the lining of the gut, preventing the absorption of water, salts and nutrients. These pass straight through with the faeces. 

The gut lining has the greatest accumulation of CD4 cells in the body and attracts the HIV down through the artery to the intestine. 

The gut has the greatest accumulation of bacteria in the body and the greatest number of protective CD4 cells. The gut lining is the epicentre of the HIV attack. 

The gut lining is destroyed by HIV and the gut parasites that infest the gut particularly of gay men. HIV destroys the CD4 cells and the gut parasites destroy the epithelial cells.

The water salt balance will be changed preventing the normal operation of all body systems. The nutrients, water and salts will pass out of the body causing the onset of diarrhoea.

Permanent damage to the gut lining will cause chronic diarrhoea, a danger sign for a person suffering from HIV/AIDS.

Gut bacteria will enter the body through the damaged gut lining. The sufferer is a long way past the need for antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

ARV drugs destroy HIV in the blood and give the small intestine the chance to mend with water, salts and nutrients absorbed again. The sufferer puts on weight as digestion begins again.

Any person with HIV/AIDS should notice that normal soft to hard faeces will mean that the small intestine is working normally. Water is being absorbed together with nutrients and salts.

If faeces are too hard with constipation, it may mean that the time has come to eat greens regularly – beans, spinach, cabbage, carrots and lettuce. Villagers may have access to all kinds of greens.

Water, salts and nutrients are still being absorbed through the small intestine. Systems are operating normally.

But the time will come when the gut lining breaks down if the sufferer is not taking ARV drugs.

Water is the key medicine for all people including those who are HIV positive. All creatures and plants have the requirement for a set balance of water and salts.

People suffer from dehydration if they do not drink water and may die.

A lack of water means that all body components become dry and begin to die. There is no water-salt balance.

All people should check their urine regularly. If the colour is light orange, the body is being well hydrated. If the dark colour of beer, there is the need for more water each day.
