Elderly persons should begin the suggested program slowly; for example, start by taking 8 oz. of water with salt 2 times a day; one a.m. and one p.m. Then, after a couple of days, add another glass or two to your daily intake. Keep adding a glass to your daily intake until you are drinking half your weight in ounces as suggested at the top of this page.

Water Cure Recipe and Nutrition
Update 12/12/06
NOTE: If your lower ankles, legs, fingers and eyelids swell or you gain three or more pounds (which means you are salt sensitive), don't do the salt for two days. Just drink the water. Then, on the third day gradually begin taking the salt again. By the way, a swim in the ocean or a salt bath is fine.
NOTE: If your kidneys are not working well then don't follow the program other to drink the amount of water your doctor suggests. The only fluid that is healthy for a person in this state is water. If you still want to try it on your own, just drink one 8 oz. glass of water and wait until you go to the bathroom. Then drink another glass. When your kidneys come up to speed (input matches output), then start the salt slowly to make sure your kidneys are working ok.

SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR WATER & SALT INTAKE
This information comes from the books Dr. Batmanghelidj wrote.
The formula for water intake is half your weight in ounces of water divided by 5 or 6 for the number of times you can drink the water throughout the day and the size of the container or amount of water you drink each time. IMPORTANT: When you drink your water, get it down in 5-6 minutes, “Don’t nurse it”.
EXAMPLE: For a 300 lb. person – half is 150 ounces divided by 5 equals a 30 oz. bottle
Use a 32 oz. bottle 5 times a day or a 24 oz. bottle 6 times a day
SALT: Sea salt is best: highest mineral content. When you add salt to water, use a measuring teaspoon. The rule of thumb is 1/8 teaspoon for every 16 oz.; 1/4 teaspoon for every 32 oz (1 quart); 1/2 teaspoon for 64 oz., or 1 full teaspoon for 1 gallon. (Some people will need less salt, others more). This is a starting point, not a set rule. You can just add the salt to your food or add the salt to the water and shake or stir it. The best way is to just throw the salt into your mouth and chase it with water.
NOTE: If your ankles, fingers, or eyelids swell, don’t do the salt for two days, just drink the water. Then on the 3rd day begin taking the salt again. NOTE: If your kidneys are not working well, then don’t follow this program. If you still want to try it on your own, just drink one eight-ounce glass of water and wait until you go to the bathroom. Then drink another glass. When your kidneys come up to speed (input matches output), then start the salt slowly to make sure your kidneys are working ok.
