How much water should you drink for water therapy?

At least how many glasses of water do you drink daily if you want the benefits of water therapy?

Hi,

One form of water therapy is the consuming of a gutful of water upon waking in order to cleanse the bowel. A liter to a liter and half is the common amount ingested.

One liter is 33 ounces. That's four 8-oz glasses, so a liter and a half would be six 8oz. glasses.

Be careful if planning to do this. While ingesting about a litre and a half of water is usually harmless, this is approaching the level which can lead to water intoxication, an urgent and dangerous medical condition.
