I spent a few days with some nomadic camel herders in the Sahara in
Morocco some years ago. Very nice people. They also drink very little -
for good reason, as water is a scarce commodity. Mostly they drink green
tea with mint.
The alternative health movement these days holds it as axiomatic that we
should all drink more water - the body's many cries for water etc. So
though Himagain's comments may seem like blasphemy to some, he is quite
right about the Bedouin, so I wonder a bit whether drinking gallons of
water every day, as I have in the past, is really necessary.

Hi Paul and folks,
Even when they have a lot of water available ( in towns) they only drink
what they NEED. They are amazed at how silly we are. Mind you, they are
using a much more advanced form of medicine than us. The Arabs got it from
India ( like mathematics and the fabled "Arabian" zero) and it passed ( no
pun) into folklore. Like using maggots in an infective wound.
I have a theory that this "flushing the body" idea was a Victorian thing -
like putting pantaloons on piano "limbs" to avoid the indelicacy of
gentlefolk being provoked into lascivious thoughts. :-)
Himagain. Still trying to grasp the idea of opening a vein and filling a
body with saturated sugar or saline solutions when they are severely
damaged.... another 100 y.o. peculiar Western phenomenon.
