Interesting Tidbits for Your Health Jun 26, 2009
By Gary Dale Cearley
"Gary Dale Cearley"
I was at first fooled by the title of this book. I thought that Dr. Alexa Fleckenstein would be touting the drinking of water, its consumption, as a therapy, much the same as the well known Iranian doctor, Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj. But any mistake on this was purely my own! While Dr. Batmanghelidj recommends drinking lots of water, Dr. Fleckenstein recommends bathing in it!
Dr. Alexa Fleckenstein is a medical doctor who, after her professional training and internship in Hamburg, went on to study European natural medicine. Much of this knowledge of traditional medicine that Dr. Fleckenstein gained was centered around the baths in southern Germany and the writings of one sage from the 19th century, Sebastian Kneipp. Kneipp was raised as a poor farm boy but later became a seminary student in Dillingen (Bavaria). While at the seminary he became ill and it was determined that he had tuberculosis. As a poor seminarian Kneipp became desperate to find the cure to this often terminal disease. He poured over ancient German texts and cures of old until gradually he discovered his way to health, and it was mainly through water therapy. Kneipp diligently wrote all of these treatments down. And it was here that a century-and-a-half later Dr. Alexa Fleckenstein discovered many of her own treatments.
The book shows how with just using water we can alter our health. Dr. Fleckenstein shows us the many ways we can turn our bathroom into our own spa using cold showers, hot showers, cold shower gushes, head dunks, arms dunks and many other treatments to ward off or help heal many physical maladies. There was actually one great example in the book where Dr. Fleckenstein points out that she had a sinus problem that would not go away so she went to a specialist in the Boston area who ultimately recommended an operation. After having refused the operation the specialist confided that Dr. Fleckenstein could likely treat her condition with an old remedy of basically snorting salt water into the sinus cavity and then spitting out the water when it flushed back into her mouth. As terribly gross and painful to hear it, Dr. Fleckenstein reported that it actually cured her condition and she now does this regularly when she has sinus problems. I had always known that salt water was good for throat and tonsil ailments - why not sinuses?
Since I have read Dr. Fleckenstein's book I have been taking cold showers, doing arm dunks, cold water gushes after warm showers and also doing the cold water mouth rinse. I have to say in the short-term I have seen some good results. Unfortunately, I haven't gone as far as Dr. Fleckenstein has advised. I have not bought any of the herbs to bathe in, etc., as I have not always been so committed to this type of therapy but I will say that I am a whole lot closer to it after reading this book.

Health2O provides practical advice for improving your health Mar 21, 2010
By Ben Leonard
Health2O is a practical book to use for turning your health around. It covers a wide number of topics providing the reader with easily implemented instructions for solving a wide variety of problems.
The book is divided into five sections:
1.Water
2.Movement
3.Fresh Food
4.Herbs
5.Life Balance
These sections are listed in their order of importance and provide a broad range of topics to work on. I am a believer in Pareto's law or the 80-20 rule. In this case 80 percent of optimal health can be achieved with 20 percent of the optimal lifestyle. In other words the initial work done in any particular area will give you most of the benefits. Once you have covered the initial aspects of each area, you can dig into any area of interest in more depth.
A healthy life can be lived with relatively little effort and the correct guidelines. One example from the book is the two minute workout. Many people don't workout because they don't have the time or energy; however, everyone can spare two minutes a day. This is less intimidating than joining a gym and does not require buying a new workout wardrobe. The "activation energy" needed to begin exercising is within anyone's reach. After getting in the habit of two minutes a day, you can exercise more if you wish.
Another useful section of the book is the section on herbs. I don't generally use herbs, but her book concise, easy to understand and practical. I refer to it when I have questions about the topic.
Even someone who is already knowledgeable about health will learn something new from this book because it covers such a wide variety of topics. I first learned about Sebastian Kneipp in this book and learned about about the traditional herbal medicines which originate throughout Europe and the rest of the world. I had always associated traditions such as these with India and China.
