Are you addicted to water? (feat. @zachbushmd)

Well, we're actually addicted to a lot of things that seem inherently good for us and are actually the foundations of life, and breath would be another one. We're very addicted to breathing because we don't know how to breathe. If you look at a doctor's chart, we'll typically chart the number of respirations next to your heart rate and everything else, and it'll typically be 16 to 20 as your typical average. The reason that's so ridiculous is because the actual normal rate of breathing in a healthy being who's in their full capacity for breath is about 4 to 8. And so somehow we've 4X'd the rate of breathing as a normal phenomenon, and the phenomenon of not breathing well is that you are breathing at the top of your lung capacity. You're not actually breathing at the bottom of your lungs. You're way up at the apex because you actually haven't exhaled all day, and so because you never exhale, you can't take a breath in, so you have to take these little sips of breaths. You have to take 16 or 18 tiny little breaths because you haven't taken the time to exhale. In the same way, water is this thing that we constantly have in front of us these days, and the reason is because this glass of water here is in a state that I cannot actually turn into the liquid crystal inside my cells that my body's actually craving. So as soon as water gets inside the human cell, it turns into a gel, and it functions as a liquid crystal. It can actually hold light energy just as a liquid crystal in your radio would. And so that liquid crystal that I'm craving is the interplay between H2O molecules and salt, electrolytes, not sodium chloride, but we're talking about 64 different mineral salts that would come off the periodic chart with your interaction with the natural water system, whether it be a spring-fed thing that's coming out of the deep earth filtered through with all those minerals, a river system, or bathing in the ocean. The water in all of its natural states is never just H2O. It's always a dance between energy in the form of minerals and electrolytes and these massively beautiful molecules of the H2O itself. What we've come to do is take all of nature out of the water, and then we give you a bunch of H2O in a glass and be like, here, this will satiate you. You drink that glass, you put it down, 20 minutes later, you're peeing that out because it couldn't get inside of your human cells because it had no interplay with nature. And so you're peeing it back out. Now you're thirsty again, so you're addicted to this constant intake of water to satiate a palate that's actually being driven by a desire for the water in a living state to get inside of itself. And it's the same reason that you overeat because you don't have availability of nutrients in the food as well. So for the same reason you're eating too many calories for too few nutrients, you're drinking too much water for too little life force within it.
