This Video is from Mozambique South Africa, given to me by a Lovely Christian Lady who assisted with the water cleansing treatment. The people are so joyful and appreciate all they have.

DYING of Thirst
Please Help!>>
So here it is... the raw truth of what happens to a person who cannot drink the water needed to sustain life.
Signs and Symptoms of Dehydration: These may include a dull headache, muscle cramps (especially leg cramps), a sudden episode of visual haze, decreased blood pressure (hypotension), and dizziness or fainting when standing up due to orthostatic hypotension.
Body Water Content: The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water by weight. Blood contains almost 70% water, body fat contains 10% water and bone has 22% water. Skin also contains much water.
Body Shut Down: In untreated dehydration, the person feels very sick, the blood pressure drops from the decreased Body Water Content. Delirium then unconsciousness with swelling of the tongue, and, in extreme cases, death occurs.
CLEAN Water IS Required: For Hygiene related good Health.
Disease Results: Diarrhoea 1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases (including cholera); 90% are children under 5, mostly in developing countries. 88% of diarrhoeal disease is attributed to Unsafe Water Supply, inadequate sanitation and hygiene.
Malaria (1.2 million die), Trachoma(500 million sick), Schistosomiasis (160million infected, many die) Intestinal Helminths (e.g. Ascariasis, Trichuriasis, Hookworm) disease (133 million infected) ETC .... would you believe, there ARE even more.
All foods contain water. Even the driest nut or seed has a lot of water in it. Furthermore, when food is digested, it is converted to energy, carbon dioxide and WATER. Most people can get the fluid the body needs from food, and they only need to drink enough water to prevent constipation.
"When you eat, the pyloric valve at the end of your stomach closes to keep food in the stomach. Then the stomach takes fluid that you drink and food that you eat and turns the solid food into liquid. If you don't drink enough fluid, your stomach takes fluid from your blood and adds it to the food in the stomach to create the soup. The pyloric valve will not let food pass to the intestines until this liquid soup is formed. Then the liquid soup passes to the intestines and remains a soup until it reaches your colon. Only then is the fluid absorbed to turn the soup into solid waste in the colon. If you do not have enough fluid in your body, your body extracts extra fluid from your stool and turns your stool into hard rocks, causing constipation. Drink water whenever you feel thirsty, but there's no health benefit from forcing yourself to drink eight glasses of water a day. Drinking too much water can be dangerous; (Hyponatremia.) This is of particular concern if you are exercising in hot weather and fail to replace the salt you lose in sweat."

I am going to be very forthright here.. I think when we live in countries with adequate water supplies we take a glass of that life giving GOLD for granted.

Thalassemia (WHAT???) The children cry out for help.
Never heard of it???
Well the predominent countries are, India, Pakistan and Iran with millions of sufferers.
Thalassemia minor is an inherited form of hemolytic anemia that is less severe than thalassemia major. This blood smear from an individual with thalassemia shows small, pale, variously-shaped (poikilocytosis) red blood cells.
These small red blood cells (RBCs) are unable to carry the sufficient amount of oxygen required by normal RBCs.Cells require oxygen (O2) to live, because O2 is what our body cells feed off.
Without O2, cells will starve and die. .
When you breath in air you get approximately 21% O2 as you inhale.
Transported to your lungs it hops aboard the fresh blood's haemoglobin in RBCs pumped from your heart.
Via circulation it then gets transported all over your body to feed and revitalize billions of cells to keep you alive.
Treatment for these children is a blood transfusion every month.
Without this treatment the sufferer would die.
And what about the children who's parents cannot afford this??
There is also a cure, but it is an expensive one, and not one that is readily available.
The cure is a Bone Marrow Transplant,
or for some, the Stem Cells from the mother.
Yet this is not a hundred percent success.
It is only for unrelated (donor registries) bone marrow donation that the age limit is much narrower, generally between age 20 and 40.
This is a despairing disease and the sadness is.... many die.
Should the Lord place it on your heart to help then your donation would gratefully be appreciated.
