This interview documents the health programme laid down by revolutionary Indian doctor Dr. Batmanghelidj. Batmanghelidj claimed the root of all serious disease on earth had a common cause - a lack of simple pure water and salt.
The following interview is between health magazine Crusader and a follower of the programme. I have not tried this myself so cannot vouch for it personally, but I find the idea very interesting:
CRUSADOR Interviews Water & Salt Enthusiast Bob Butts About Two Simple Elements That Are Healing Diseases That Doctors Have Said Were Incurable
“For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.” (Isaiah 44:3)
“Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” (Mark 9:50)
Oxygen, water, and salt are the most crucial elements the human body requires for survival. Without adequate supplies in every cell, serious health problems will result, ultimately leading to death. Dehydration and salt deficiency are the two leading causes of virtually all the diseases afflicting mankind. Sadly, because of profit motives, medical doctors treat these symptoms with drugs that cause further problems, instead of giving patients what the body really needs – Water & Salt.
When it comes to maintaining your health or restoring lost health, water and salt are the least expensive, most beneficial elements you can put into your body. People spend thousands and thousands of dollars on expensive drugs and nutritional supplements that don’t do anything to hydrate the body, or supply salt containing vital trace minerals needed for survival. All living things utilize water and salt for life. The body is under a constant drive to retain salt to keep water inside the system. In the book, Water & Salt – The Essence of Life, it discusses the important role salt plays in the functioning of every cell:
“Transformability of salt is very important for our body because it is the foundation of our cell metabolism. The life-giving principle of metabolism in all living beings is osmosis, when liquids transfer from one cell to another. This process of osmosis is managed by the salt concentration in the cells. The liquid in a cell always moves from a cell with a lower salt concentration (potential) to a cell with a higher salt concentration (potential), because the cell membranes are permeable for water but not for salt and the body always strives to achieve a balance in concentration.” (1)
In our October/November 2006 edition of CRUSADOR, we ran an interview titled, “You’re Not Sick, You’re Thirsty” where we discussed the importance of getting enough water and salt into the body. The response and feedback we had from that interview was nothing short of phenomenal. Bob Butts stated that every time he did a radio interview with Dr. Batmanghelidj on the “Water Cure” and what it can do for your health, the switch board lit up. I can see why. Our phones rang almost non-stop for weeks with customers requesting extra copies of the interview. One health food store in Pennsylvania even ordered 10,000 extra copies. Since the response was so fantastic, and the information so life-changing, we decided to do another interview with Bob Butts, so our readers will have additional information on this subject.
Crusador: Bob, obviously this topic strikes a nerve with people. I’m thrilled to expound on this subject further with you. Explain how the “Water Cure” works for depression? I understand that you gave a lecture at a counseling center to people that had depression so bad that they couldn’t work, and in three weeks they were all better.
I was asked to give a lecture at this center as a result of a nurse who got rid of MS by using the water cure, and the center thought I could be of help to their patients. My first question to the group was, how much water do they drink, and what else do they drink. They hardly drank any water and lived on caffeine and/or alcohol. I then asked what other problems they have because by drinking that little water, they must have a whole lot more, which they did. I told them how Dr. Batmanghelid, who was slated to be shot as a political prisoner in Iran, had cured over 3,000 highly depressed inmates of ulcers just by correcting their dehydration.
What else astonished him was that not only did the ulcers vanish, but so did much of their depression. That was when he realized that the main cause of depression was dehydration. I spoke there on a Thursday and by Monday amazing things were happening. One woman who also had severe asthma and could not even be around people or drive a car, along with a few other problems, literally came bouncing in Monday depression free, and told of how in just two days she drove her mother from Wilkes-Barre to a shopping mall near Philadelphia. In less than three weeks every one of those people were discharged and I was never invited back.
Crusador: Millions of people suffer with migraine headaches. You made the statement that curing migraine headaches is a no-brainer. How can it be that simple?
Dr. Batmanghelidj’s research has proven that the main cause of migraine headaches is dehydration in the brain area. When two to four glasses of cool water are taken, the circulation to the brain improves and the pain goes away. There is a lot of great information in Dr. B.’s book, “Water for Health, For Healing, For Life” under Headaches and Migraine. Obviously, if the migraine goes away just by drinking water, then it is a no-brainier and so are countless other dehydration problems being treated with drugs and procedures. Before I found out about the water cure, I had plenty of migraines and once I drank more water, I never had another migraine.
Crusador: Chronic fatigue is a problem that millions of people suffer with. In most cases you say that it’s a lack of water and salt. Can it really be that simple to correct, and what kind of testimonials have you had?
Water and salt together create energy and according to Dr. B. they are the main sources of energy for the human body. Most people with chronic fatigue quickly get rid of it after going on the water cure. That’s because only water and salt can cure a problem that is caused by lack of water and salt. I’ve had countless testimonials on it. In fact, the first thing almost everyone notes is the increase in energy.
Crusador: How did Paul Harvey get a hold of the “Water Cure” information and what did he say about it in the three spots he dedicated to it on his radio program?
I believe it was from an outside source that suggested he take a look at it. I have copies of three of his commentaries which he read on his radio show heard nationally. They are available on our web site www.watercure2.org where he reads them as radio spots. If you go to the media links section on our website under WYOU TV, you can hear these spots. Basically, as Paul Harvey so eloquently does, he discussed different people who have been helped immensely by following the simple formula of drinking water and salt outlined by Dr. Batmanghelidj in his books. I’m sure the spots had a big impact. I know they add a lot of credibility to what I tell people.
Crusador: Woman’s World magazine also ran a great story about the “Water Cure”. What prompted them to cover this topic, what did they get into, and did you have a part in helping them with the story?
Actually, Woman’s World ran headlines across the front page called “The Slimming New Water Cure” four times from 9/01 to 10/10/06. The initial story was the result of an Associated Press feature story on my personal and financial commitment to Dr. B. and his water cure, where I would not accept one cent for anything that I did. The story was also carried on ABC news. I received many offers of interviews. Woman’s World contacted me from Chicago for an interview and I referred them to Dr. B. and also to Amy Biank, a Chicago talk show host who had previously contacted me for an interview, which more than doubled the all time record for listener calls. Amy dropped a few dress sizes in a short time and got rid of a number of problems. Amy was the featured guest in the initial article. The responses have been so great that Woman’s World continues to run articles. I spoke to them in October and they plan to do more from time to time.
Crusador: An article that ran in a Physician’s newspaper details how water helps prevent heart disease. What was the actual paper that ran this story, and what did the article have to say?
It was called “Family Practice News,” the leading newspaper for the family physician. The headline read, “Drinking a Lot of Water Sinks Fatal Heart Disease Risk.” No local paper would run the story, so I paid to have it run again myself. The highlight of the story reported:
“In a study of more than 34,000 Seventh Day Adventists followed for 6 years, drinking at least five glasses of water a day was associated with a significantly decreased risk of fatal coronary heart disease among those without CHD, stroke, diabetes or baseline, Jacqueline Chan, Ph.D., reported at the 20th Congress of the European Society of Cardiology.”

rusador: You say that some of the quickest visible results with the “Water Cure” that can be seen are with pets. Can you elaborate on this since pets are such an important part of so many people’s lives?
I met a chiropractor friend, Dr. Gary Weissberger, who had a severe limp and nobody could figure out what was wrong with his foot. He was going to go for an MRI and told me not to tell him about the water cure because he warned all his patients to avoid salt. He said that he didn’t drink any caffeine or alcohol. I told him that his foot is hurting him because he’s salt deficient. He just laughed. I challenged him to prove me wrong. I told him to just take ¼ tsp. of sea salt in 16 ounces of water before bed and do the same thing in the morning before he goes for the MRI. He agreed. The next morning he called laughing and said, “I don’t believe it.” He told me that he took the salt water before getting in the shower and before he got out the pain was gone. He thought it was just a coincidence; that it’s not possible for salt to cure his problem, although he did cancel the MRI.
“Let me think”, I said, “There must be a simple way to prove it to you and it immediately hit me. Dogs and cats get cancer and arthritis and the only thing they drink is water. That means it must be lack of salt or junk salt in the pet food that is the cause. I asked him to try to find someone with a dog or a cat with terminal cancer or severe arthritis and just suggest that unprocessed sea salt be sprinkled on its food and water for three days. Put ¼ tsp. per quart of water. “I’ll do it,” he said.
Two weeks later he called saying, “I’ve got a testimonial from Pete the dog. Pete belongs to another skeptical doctor, Dr. P.J. Marciletti, a naturopath who also was telling his patients no salt. Pete had a big malignant tumor over his eye. He only had about 30 days to live. Within three days the tumor shrunk 50% and they were both astonished. Dr. Marciletti had Crohn’s Disease and decided to try the water cure. Within a few days, most of his symptoms were gone. Both doctors said they wanted to pass out all the water cure information to their patients and I told this story all over the media, in newspapers, radio and TV ads because the news media wasn’t interested in doing a story. These spots along with others are on our www.watercure2.org site along with the full story of how this discovery was made. It can be seen under the headline, “Sea Salt Cures Pet Arthritis & More.”
There are many pet testimonials for everyone to read. Thus far, I have never heard of a single failure in curing pet arthritis and asthma. A local pet radio show told the story and for about 8 weeks asked their audience if anyone knew of any failures. Not one was called in, but a great many positive testimonials were called in. While the results of pets with cancer were incredible, they were only about 65% successful. I think it would have been much higher if they were given more salt.
The bottom line is that when people saw the great results it had on their pets, many tried it on themselves. I challenge everyone out there to find one instance where it doesn’t cure pet arthritis or asthma. When you find out the truth, please tell everyone and ask your government officials at all levels to investigate why a free health solution is being deliberately withheld from people and pets.
Crusador: You have a story on your website that discusses a year 2000 report from the World Health Organization that ranks the USA as having the 72nd best health at the #1 cost. Can you elaborate on this report a little and tell our readers why drinking adequate water with salt could eliminate most of the health problems today?
Christopher Murray, M.D., Ph.D., Director of WHO’s Global Programme in Evidence for health Policy said, “Basically you die earlier and spend more time disabled if you’re an American rather than a member of most advanced countries.” (A condensed version of this report is on our www.watercure2.org site.)
I believe it is vital that every American adult read this report and ask their legislators why they have allowed this to happen. What does it say about our ethics if we have the 72nd best health at the #1 cost? And if that is irrefutably true and is being ignored, then what else is going on that we are unaware of?
Actually, the only things water and salt can cure are water and salt deficiency caused problems. Therefore, everything that disappears was never a disease in the first place. According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, the common denominator in most of our worst health problems are chronic dehydration, and water and salt deficiency, and there is no drug or operation that can cure dehydration, except a saline IV, which is nothing more than
water and salt.
