dear kathrynne thought you may be interested in this. an article in our san bernardino paper. a nutritionist and spokesperson for dietetic assn. kathleen zelman was quoted by saying water consumption should be based on weight --as a guideline she said a person should divide your weight by half and drink that many ounces of water up to 12 glasses. thus a person weighing 160 lbs. should drink 80 ounces water per day. jack finally started increasing his water intake since i made him read your article about water over and over again. he really felt good to see this article confirm what you said. men !!! they are worse than kids when they are sick. using your prune cocktail he has finally quit taking citricel which pleases me. so bless you for writing a book for non medical people. love connie cg jack 79/d1995
