text: i have really bad hip  and knee pain? i didnt injure my self playing sports.. or anything.. but everytime i bed donw i get a sharp pain in my kjnee.. and then when i stand up i get it in my groin and my hip.. could this be caused by stress? the most probable cause of non-sport's related body aches is chronic dehydration. drinking 6-8 glasses of distilled and remineralized water could cure your pain. get 3 glass containers and fill them with distilled water. add 12 grains of  brown rice per gallon. if you have half gallon containers, add 6 grains for example. when you finish one container put fresh grains of brown rice in your container an refill it. this will give your body the fluid it needs to htdrate your body.  change from using refined table salt to sea salt for adding to your food.
