On a more serious note, I've been reading this water cure from a Dr. Batmanghelidj who claimes to be able to prevent as well as cure many sickness's He seems to make lot's of sense and I myself am drinking water like I have never done before.
Give a try you have nothing to loose.
"Water prevents and helps to cure arthritis.
Rheumatoid joint pain - arthritis - is a signal of water shortage in the painful joint. It can affect the young as well as the old. The use of pain-killers does not cure the problem, but exposes the person to further damage from pain medications. Intake of water and small amounts of salt will cure this problem".
