Water treatment, The english version. Afrikaans I wrote 25 minutes earlier. below. This morning I got the biggest surprise of my life. My wife somewhere read about a water treatment yesterday evening and decided it will do us no harm. Tunes she me now quarter to eight this morning when I started to think of a nice cup of coffee in bed: “Four glasses of cold water on your empty stomach and that will heal your blood pressure and cancer and everything. Thereafter you should not eat anything for the next three quarters of an hour. I thought by myself: The old lady had a night mare or she is off her rocker or something. But no, she is dead serious. Two minutes later she hops in with a two liter water bottle and two proper glasses. Look, she says, now you drink those 4 glasses of water on your empty stomach or I take you outside to the crib and keep your head under water until you have swallowed those 4 glasses. I thought by myself: I rather try this thing here in bed than outside in the crib. Now you should know that my wife drank tea all of her life, 24 cups every day and boiling hot and she does not touch water. Water is for the fishes she always says, not for people. But here she pulls away with her first glass of water. I follow her timidly and after the first glass my stomach is no longer empty. But she carries on, two, three and so on. I swallow equally brave my four glasses and look at my tummy that is now bulging dangerously. I promise here where I sit and write it is already an hour later and I still have no desire for breakfast. In any case now comes the cat and jumps on our bed. She walks deliberately in the direction of Nel’s tummy. NOOOOOO!!! You are not going to dance on my tummy today!! Says Nel very adamant and wipes the cat off the bed. I grab my tablet and google “Four glasses of water treatment” for Nel no longer has any idea where she read the stuff. Very soon I arrived at Snopes and they allege that the water can do no harm but there is no scientific prove of any healing benefits. My wife heaved a sigh of relief. Fine, for I would not have sustained this for very long. In any case I cannot now weigh myself for I weigh at least 1 Kg more with a liter of water in my stomach. And furthermore I still wonder if our bladders now will be synchronized after 4 glasses of water and we are storming the only toilet in our home at the same time!
