There is an aundance o! evidence
that proves one maFor cause o!
'idney stones is dehydration. G!ten"
'idney stone su!!erers live in the
South region o! the 3nited States
where the weather gets hot and
humid. These conditions lead people
to lose more water than they ta'e in and the 'idneys are
a!!ected negatively when this happens. It is very important
that you drin' at least H !ull glasses o! water every day.
A good guideline is -7 ounces o! water every two hours that
you are awa'e. Also" there is even more encouraging
ene!its to your health when the water you drin' is distilled.
Distilled water is" as Dr. &eil puts it" Iwater that has een
turned into steam so its impurities are le!t ehind. The
steam is then condensed to ma'e pure water. The process
o! distillation 'ills and removes virtually all acteria"
viruses" heavy metals" and other organic and inorganic

contaminants. Gnce distilled" the water is as pure as water
can reasonaly e.I
There are some myths that distilled water is not good !or
you" ut that is nonsense. It is the est 'ind o! water there
is1 pure. And" i! you add a twist o! lemon to your water" we
can assure you that will also help you !rom ever !orming
another 'idney stone !or the rest o! your li!e.
A good indicator as to whether you are drin'ing enough
water is the color o! your urine. I! it is right yellow or dar'"
you need more water. It should e almost clear. Don:t wait
until you:re thirsty to drin' water. .eep a ottle o! water
with you at all times. G! course" you can always chec' your
urine=s speci!ic gravity to test how well your are hydrated.
