The treatment of water retention depends on whether or not the primary cause is excessive leakiness of the capillary walls. If this is not the cause, as in cases of heart or kidney disease, then diuretic medicines (diuretics) may be an appropriate treatment[3].
If, on the other hand, the capillaries are very leaky, and tissues are therefore retaining both water and protein, then diuretics can do more harm than good [14]. They will cause the kidneys to remove fluid more rapidly from the blood while at the same time the protein in the tissue spaces will be drawing fluid from the blood into the tissues. The result can be dehydration of the blood. Over time, the use of diuretics can aggravate water retention of this type, as the body will learn to hold on to water in an attempt to avoid becoming dehydrated[15].
When presented with water retention, a doctor may sometimes find it difficult to distinguish between these two different types. Many doctors will automatically prescribe diuretics. However the most appropriate treatment for the protein-related water retention is to address the cause of the leaky capillaries while at the same time giving remedies which will help to break up the protein[14].
The Waterfall Diet - so called because it is intended to release water retention through urination - does not work by stimulating the kidneys. It is designed to be high in flavonoids and other nutrients which help to repair leaky capillaries. It also contains a programme for helping the user identify any foods which are being improperly digested and may be stimulating histamine release. Coumarin-rich foods such as celery and parsley also form an important part of the Waterfall Diet as coumarin has been found to help white blood cells known as macrophages break up protein particles which have leaked into the tissue spaces[14].Comment
