Therapy Procedure
Early morning, after you get up from bed, (without even brushing your teeth) drink 1.5 liters of water i.e., 5 to 6 glasses. Let us all know that ancient Indians termed this therapy as "Usha Paana Chikitsa" . You may wash your face thereafter.
Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hour before and after drinking these 1.5 liters of water.
It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks should be taken the previous night.
If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose. It is difficult to drink 1.5 liters of water at one time, but you will get used to it gradually.
Initially, while practicing you may drink four glasses first and to balance two glasses after a gap of two minutes. You may find the necessity to urinate 2 to 3 times within an hour, but it will become normal after quite some time.

By Research and Experience, The following diseases are observed to be cured with this therapy within the indicated days as below:
Constipation 1 day Acidity 2 day Diabetes 7 day Cancer 4 weeks Pulmonary TB 3 months BP & Hypertension 4 weeks

Note:
It is advised that persons suffering from Arthritis or Rheumatism should practice this therapy thrice a day, i.e. morning, midday and night, 1 hour before meals for one week; and twice a day subsequently until the disease disappears. How Does Pure Water Act?
Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as " Haematopaises". That the mucous folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that the mucous fold produces new fresh blood.
If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucous folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern.

any idea how this can scientifically happen (in detail please)

[maikeru]

Hematopoiesis, the production of new blood, does not happen in the colon or its mucosal layers. It occurs in the bone marrow in adults. (In fetuses and babies, it is produced in the liver.) If you want to clean your colon out, eat more fiber and visit the bathroom. If you want to stay hydrated, by all means, drink a lot of water or other liquids.

But I can guarantee that water alone isn't going to cure half or most of the diseases and ailments listed. Check your sources, because most of this sounds like baloney (on rye).

Here's where your yoga class got the information:
Beneficial Water Therapy

That the mucous folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that the mucous fold produces new fresh blood.
If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucous folds they are turned into fresh blood.

It's a sham and they can't even get their physiology facts right. The mucous fold does not produce fresh blood. As maikeru pointed out, hematopoiesis occurs predominantly in bone marrow. Nutrients from food do not become fresh blood, only the haematopoietic stem cells become what constitutes blood. Also, where is the "research and experience" that proves what they're promoting is true?

Excess water consumption will lead to water intoxication.

I agree with maikeru that water alone is not the cure. The body needs more than water to function well, so a healthy diet with plenty of exercise, and a positive state of mind would be more beneficial.

This is slightly less than the minimum of 2-2.25 liters of clean water than most clinicians and nutritionists recommend an average adult drink every day.

Yoga is generally beneficial for one’s health.

any idea how this [the many nearly incurable by conventional therapy diseases listed as being curable in very little time by drinking ordinary amounts of water] can scientifically happen (in detail please)

As the several previous posters have pointed out, it can’t. However, even though it can’t cure conditions unrelated to under-hydration, together with good nutrition, exercise, and personal hygiene, drinking appropriate quantities of water promotes general health, and thus can prevent many diseases.
