Max Gulhane MD: "Should I drink an arbitrary amount of water? […] Should I drink to thirst versus a prescribed amount? […]"
Carrie Bennett: "Yeah, drinking water is an interesting one. […] The vast majority of the water inside of our cells is due to our mitochondrial production.
"It is, however, important to maintain healthy blood volume […] Do you know Dr Batmanghelidj, have you read his stuff? Dr Batmanghelidj has written so many books. He was an Iranian physician who was kept prisoner during the Iranian Revolution. He being a doctor, they brought prisoners to him in this very stressful prison situation. All he had to give these prisoners was water to drink.
"He saw time and time again how it reduced pain so drastically. […]
"He found that when the blood volume gets too low, which is going to be more likely to happen in a stressful situation, because mitochondria, when they're stressed, they're going to be poor water producers as well.
"The stressful situation would result in what he called chronic unintentional dehydration. When someone's blood volume drops to a certain extent, histamine turns on.
"He saw that histamine was a drought management system, […] that histamine's job at that point was to direct blood and fluid to where it was absolutely needed, and it would shut off in other other parts. […]
"Which was good temporarily. Right? Because at some point then someone would come across water and then they would potentially be able to rehydrate their blood volume.
"But if it was chronic, in terms of we were in a very dehydrating environment for extended periods of time, he found a pathway where histamine elevated certain cytokines that would lead to tissue destruction. Those pathways would also do things like fragment DNA and RNA, which has its own implications. That would just further than drive things like autoimmune disease. […]
"And so I'm of the opinion that the amount of water that one needs to drink is dependent a lot on their environment, their mental state, and how functioning their mitochondria are." —Carrie Bennett with maxgulhanemd (npub19yj…unad) @ 39:50–43:39 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=2390
