Fluids Hypertension Syndromes: Migraines, Headaches, Normal ...

Fluids Hypertension Syndromes – Dr. Leonardo Izecksohn – page 297
We recommend to drink only 100 milliliter (3 fluid ounces), or half glassful, of some liquid each time
the patient feels thirsty.
We recommend do not drink anything without being thirsty, after dinner, or before sleeping.
When the patient says that he has too much thirst, to reduce this we recommend to reduce the salt in
the food.
Nearly half patients with all Migraines cure only with this liquid restriction, without any other medication.
All the Glaucoma medications and surgeries are more efficient if the patient also restricts the liquids
drinks.
The patient with Normal (Peak) tension or High-tension Glaucoma, who does not reduce his excessive
drinks, usually fails to fix the evolution of his glaucomatous damage (glaucomatous Optic neuropathy).
“Patients at the office even with intraocular pressure of only 13.8 mmHg on Normal-tension
glaucoma still present worsening of their visual field defects after 5 years”. (Inatani M and others).
The patient with renal stones needs the excessive liquid drinks during the time the stones are been expelled,
but not as a lifelong prevention.
Excessive water drank does not prevent constipation: “Neither dietary fiber intake nor intakes of total
water and water from fluids were associated with constipation. Conversely, low intake of water from
foods was associated with an increasing prevalence of constipation.” (Murakami K, and others).
The hospitalized patient that receive overhydration can aggravate their Migraines and any definitive
damage caused by the Fluids Hypertension Syndromes.
XVIII- d - We prescribe the Abstinence of Wine and Beer drinks. The patient may drink small
volume of pure distilled drinks, without raising the intraocular pressure and without Migraines. To the
patients that drink wine and justify with the Resveratrol benefit, we advise to drink grape juice that is
healthier and has in it the same Resveratrol. Some patients only stop their pleasant drinks when begin
to become blind, which is too late.
XVIII- e - We prescribe the Reduction of Visual Strain:
Reduction of visual work, as on dark as on light conditions.
Reduction the dark glasses use to the strictly necessary.
Rest the eyes for some minutes when the patient feels the symptoms of visual tiredness.
Shorten the excessive TV and computer use.
XVIII- f - We prescribe the use of precise spectacles and contact lenses, never permitting Myopia
overcompensation or insufficient hyperopia or Presbyopia correction.
Some patients who had refractive surgery, with thinner and less resistant corneas, the corneal
curvature may fluctuate secondarily to the intraocular pressure variations, consequently changing their
ocular refraction. After lowering the intraocular pressure with the medication, it may be necessary to
update the glasses.
XVIII- g -We prescribe to withhold or the reduction of coffee, tea, caffeinated soft drinks, chocolate
and caffeinated medications.
We prescribe drinks of decaffeinated coffee, except for the patient with gastritis.
We prescribe drinks of fruits juices. We warn against the juices with caffeine, as “Açaí with Guaraná.”
Without the complete withdrawal of caffeine the patient’s cure will not be complete. To the very
sensible patients, even only one small cup (50 milliliters) of caffeine per day is too much and
make them sick.
Caffeine is poisonous and treacherous! It relieves the headaches and Migraine’s aches in minutes,
but it worsens them after some hours or at the next day, besides all the sicknesses it causes.
