Aquas Q&A

aquas, dehydration, hydration

This is the third in a series of investigations about the impact of dehydration on the prospects of recovery from Parkinson’s symptoms. In a Parkinsons Recovery Radio show interview, naturopath doctor John Coleman discusses the importance of taking Aquas for the success of his own personal  recovery from Parkinson’s disease. In a recent post here on the Parkinsons Recovery blog, Jaraslov Boublik PhD answers questions about hydration in general and the implications of dehydration for the prospects of recovery.

This post constitutes third in this hydration series which features a Q&A with Leonie aquasHibbert who is a co-developer of the Aquas along with Dr. Boublik. His previous discussion prompted questions from members of my audience who listened to my interview with him. In this interview, I ask Leonie Hibbert the questions from listeners which are listed below.

  • How do I know I am dehydrated?
  • What are symptoms of dehydration?
  • I drink water all the time but I am still thirsty all the time. Why is this?
  • How can taking a few drops of this homeopathic remedy every day help hydrate the body?
  • Would it help to increase the number of drops I take every day? Isn’t more better?
  • How did you determine what ingredients to include in the bottles?
  • If I am a man – can I take the female Aquas or vice versa?
  • If someone is very ill, can they take this homeopathic remedy and if so, how many drops should they take?
  • What are the side effects of detoxing from getting better hydration?
  • How do you know the Aquas work?
  • How long does a bottle last?
  • Why can’t I solve the problem of dehydration by simply drinking more water?
  • Why do so many people with Parkinson’s symptoms take Aquas?
  • Will Aquas help people with diabetes?
  • Why do you recommend a break of 2 days every week when taking this homeopathic remedy?
  • Are the Aquas FDA approved?
  • How do you know the Aquas are safe?
  • Who manufactures the Aquas?
  • Is a doctor’s prescription required for the Aquas?
  • Will the Aquas help with dry skin?
  • Do I have to take the Aquas with apple juice?
  • Is it ok to take the Aquas with breakfast?

Good Hydration Is Critical to Recovery

dehydration, hydration

Listen to a Q&A with an international expert on hydration who discusses why good hydration is critical to recovery. Jaroslav Boublik PhD is the “go to” resource for how to drink the right water to hydration cells throughout your body which makes for good hydration.

Good Hydration
Good Hydration

When you your doctor answers the question: “What can I do to feel better?” by saying – “Drink more water” Do not laugh. Your doctor is probably right.

Dr. Boublik is, in my book of experts, the international expert on why good hydration is critical to recovery from Parkinsons. His research centers around the effects of dehydration. Dr. Boublik answers questions about the effects of dehydration on your health and how you can realistically address problems such as:

  • Why do we get dehydrated as we age?
  • Why is hydration so important to eliminate toxins?
  • If I add such substances to my diet such as – salt, energy drinks, coffee, tea, alcohol, colas, milk – will I be better hydrated?
  • What are the symptoms of dehydration?
  • Is drinking structured water a good idea?
  • Can good hydration reduce Parkinson’s symptoms?
  • Will better hydration enhance mental clarity?

Jaroslov Boublik is also one of the two amazing developers of the Aquas (https://www.aquas.us) a homeopathic treatment for dehydration.

Aqua Hydration Therapy and Parkinson’s Disease

aquas, dehydration, hydration

In terms of the aqua hydration therapy and Parkinson’s disease, does that include putting your arms in a bathtub full of water for about 20 minutes a day? What is an ideal aqua hydration therapy and how many times does it have to be done on a weekly basis? Is this therapy one of your top 3 recovery mechanisms?

Gino

Response:

The Aqua hydration therapy recommended by naturopath doctor John Coleman, ND (who successfully recovered from Parkinson’s in the 1990’s) is a homeopathic treatment known as the Aquas. Dr. Coleman attributes 60% of his full recovery to the Aquas.

The Aquas are a combination of essential oils and Bach Flower essences that are designed to reset the mechanism used by the body to hydrate cells. As we age, this mechanism begins to break down.

You can find more information about the Aquas by visiting: https://www.aquas.us

It is recommended that you take the Aquas each week day, then take a break on the weekends. This approach insures that the homeopathic signalling system remains potent.

Summary: Aqua Hydration Therapy and Parkinson’s Disease

Neurons are the juiciest cells in the body. If you are not well hydrated, there is no doubt in my mind that neurological symptoms will result. Many people report feeling a great deal better when their bodies become better hydrated. The better hydrated you are, the better you will feel. For any chronic illness I would put oxygen and water at the top of the list as therapies that are essential to health and wellness.

Best Way to Hydrate the Body

aquas, hydration

My doctor is giving me amino acid therapy. He says that I have a lot of toxins that need to be removed. What is the best way to hydrate the body, especially if a persons has Parkinson’s Disease?

Best Way to Hydrate the Body

I have identified a surprising number of methods people with Parkinson’s Disease have used to detox their body. Most  involve putting something into the body to facilitate removal of the toxins. Realize that what needs to happen is the removal of harmful substances from the body.  You may not need to put anything extra into your body other than water.

As I mention in  my response below, Naturopath doctor John Coleman, author of Stop Parkin’ and Start Livin’, is a man that reversed his own Parkinson’s symptoms who recommends people with  Parkinson’s symptoms take an Aqua Hydration Formula which is designed to help the body hydrate.  John is one of the Pioneers of Recovery who was featured in the first edition.

Toxins and Parkinsons

dehydration, detoxes, heavy metals, hydration, Pioneers of Recovery

I have noticed that when I drink more water I begin to feel really lousy. I get more headaches, have low energy and feel like I have the flu. Parkinson’s symptoms are problematic as it is – and now this. I there a connection between toxins and Parkinsons?

Response:

I suspect you may be experiencing a huge detox effect from becoming better hydrated. The symptoms you list are all the symptoms that are typical of detoxes. Toxins may well be the pest causing the neurological problems you currently experience. Is there a connection between toxins and Parkinsons? The research clearly concludes the answer is yes.

You might consider getting an assessment of toxins of some sort or another – perhaps bioenergetic testing or voice analysis or hair analysis. You may have already had some assessments done – but they might not have picked up the true culprit which can show in the form of heavy metals of one type of another or pesticides. I aired a radio show with Dr. Joe Hickey, MD, several months ago who offered some fascinating perspectives on diagnostic assessments for heavy metals and detox protocols that succeed for people with Parkinson’s.

If the diagnostic assessments show toxins – then a strategy would be to set in motion a detox program to release toxins gradually and safely. The hydration is obviously a key but some toxins need a little extra nudge to leave your body. They do not exit willingly unless gently encouraged.

If the nudge is too aggressive you can pay dearly for the consequences. You certainly want to be rid of the toxins, but not at the expense of feeling lousy for months on end.

I have received a number of reports from people who report a worsening of symptoms when their detox programs are begun. This may be due to an inadvisable protocol or to a detox program that is too aggressive. It is best to proceed with detox programs slowly. Do not expect immediate relief.

Or they may simply be seriously dehydrated. Naturopath John Coleman ND recommends taking the Aquas which were formulated to hydrate the body.

People often assume that because they are feeling worse, the detox program is making the situation worse. They thus decide to abandon the detox program. Instead of giving up, I suggest that you recognize that toxins are an issue. Search for another detox protocol that offers a more gentle release.

Parkinsons Relief Through Better Hydration

aquas, hydration

A letter about Parkinsons relief thorough better hydration from Mary follows. Mary  gave me permission to post here on the Parkinsons Recovery blog.

Parkinsons Recovery

I am enjoying reading your new book [Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease: https://www.parkinsonsdisease.me] and look forward to trying some new things for myself that are mentioned in there.

I know that the dehydration thing is right on for me. I started drinking lots more water this past summer at my friend’s insistent urging. And it has really been so helpful. I already have the Aquas [http://www.aquas.us] and will start doing those again in the morning and evening and see what happens.

I had remembered that in 6-08 and 12-08 after two surgeries I had felt much better. I had thought that it could have a couple of things that made me feel better. One was the O2 that I received during the surgeries. I have sleep apnea and having 02 might have made a difference. I also thought that it could have been the IV’s hydrating me.

Well I went into the hospital in Oct. 09 and stayed there for three days, recovering from a kidney infection . I slept and rested for three days (admitted through ER with 104 degree fever) and had an IV 24/7 all those days. What a difference!

Magnets for Healing Parkinsons

aquas, hydration, magnets

My dentist of many years retired, & I needed dentist shortly before I moved to my present location. When I explained that my unsteady gait was from Parkinsons Disease, he told me that he had cared for his mother who had had Parkinsons Disease. He said he did hours of research & found the most helpful thing was using magnets for healing Parkinsons & good hydration.

He said that he had a patient come in that shook so badly the walls were shaking. He told her of magnets for healing Parkinsons & his research. When she came the next week for a follow-up, he gave her magnets & had her put them on her forearms. He said they had to be pretty strong. He said in about 20 minutes or so her shaking had pretty much stopped. He saw her again about 6 months later, & she had a new car & was able to return to a fairly normal life. I assumed she was still on medications, but the tremors had stopped. He told me to find the info on the Internet, or he & his wife would even make the 2 hour drive to my new location to tell me more about it. I do not find that much about magnets helping PD.

Do you know where to find more information? Or do you know of anyone else having a good experience with them? When I left, he repeated to keep the magnets on the forearms & stay hydrated.

Sylvia

This is the first report of magnet use I have received. What an interesting story! Too bad you do not have the specifics. I could interview the people involved on my radio program.

First, I do hear over and over from people with Parkinson’s symptoms that good hydration makes a big difference. Some people are getting good results from taking a homeopathic treatment that was designed to help their bodies become better hydrated called the Aquas.

Second, magnets for healing Parkinsons alter the field which surrounds the human body. I do know there are companies which promote magnets as a device to clear blockages in the human energy field and thus help to restore energy and heal illness. I do not have any evidence from people with Parkinsons on the effectiveness of such devices.

I do know that the many forms of energy healing (reiki, healing touch, energy healing, acupuncture, etc.) also help to clear blockages in the human energy field. Magnets are one approach to achieving this same goal.

The problem as I understand it is that if you get the poles reversed when you apply the treatment, the treatment can backfire. Instead of opening chakras and clearing the blockages, the chakras can shut down and blockages can be solidified. I have heard Barbara Brennan (a famous healer) warn against use of magnets because of the pole reversal problem. Apparently, use of magnets can either work big time or backfire big time.

I have an intuition that in the years ahead, such machines will be much more sophisticated than today. I can also add that of the many therapies that we now know help give symptom relief, I know of no therapy that helps everyone. Just because it might have helped someone else does not mean necessarily that it will help you out.

Anyone out there have any experience with magnets as a treatment option for Parkinsons? Let us hear from you!
