Elements:\n\nMain constituents are H, C, O, N, with considerable amounts of Ca, Na, P, S, Cl, less Mg, K, Fe, I, and traces of about any common element.\n\nThe most common simple molecule is water.\n\nMost important "inorganic" compounds are CaCO3 (in the bones), NaCl (dissolved in the water) and Ca2(PO4)OH in the teeth.\n\nThe main classes of chemicals are carbohydrates and proteins, which form the main structural elements of our cells as well as most of the functional framework. (DNA for instance has a modified carbohydrate linked by phosphate as its structural basis). Fats (triglycerides of fatty acids) are abundant, but don't participate structurally in most features of human anatomy except as fillers (lower skin, lips, breasts...)

A diuretic is any drug that elevates the rate of bodily urine excretion. Diuretics also decrease the extracellular fluid (ECF) volume, and are primarily used to produce a negative extracellular fluid balance. Caffeine, cranberry juice and alcohol are all weak diuretics.\n\nIn medicine, diuretics are used to treat heart failure, liver cirrhosis, hypertension and certain kidney diseases.Diuretics alleviate the symptoms of these diseases by causing sodium and water loss through the urine. As urine is produced by the kidneys ,sodium and water which cause edema related to the disease move into the blood to replace the volume lost as urine,thereby reducing the pathological edema.Some diuretics, such as acetazolamide,help to make the urine more alkaline and are helpful in increasing excretion of substances such as aspirin in cases of drug overdose or poisoning.\n\nThe antihypertensive actions of some diuretics ,thiazides and loop diuretics in particular are independent of their diuretic effect. That is,the reduction in blood pressure is not due to decreased blood volume resulting from increased urine production, but occurs through other mechanisms and at lower doses than that required to produce diuresis.Indapamide was specifically designed with this is mind, and has a larger therapeutic window for hypertension (without pronounced diuresis)than most other diuretics.\n\nChemically, diuretics are a diverse group of compounds that either stimulate or inhibit various hormones that naturally occur in the body to regulate urine production by the kidneys.

The difference in solubility of the components allows for separation.  I don't remember the specifics, but that is the reason.  Water will not have a big enough difference.

AKA: ALDACTONE\nSimplified answer. It is a POTASSIUM sparing diuretic.\nMeaning. Diuretics make you urinate, but you deplete your sodium and potassium along with it. \nAldactone just gets rid of the excess fluid and sodium and leaves the potassium in the body. Resulting in decreased blood pressure, helping to prevent patients from going into Congestive heart failure to name a couple\n\nRARE SIDE EFFECTS: diarrhea, cramps, drowsiness

Physical and chemical properties\nThe hydroxyl group generally makes the alcohol molecule polar. Those groups can form hydrogen bonds to one another and to other compounds. Two opposing solubility trends in alcohols are: the tendency of the polar OH to promote solubility in water, and of the carbon chain to resist it. Thus, methanol, ethanol, and propanol are miscible in water because the hydroxyl group wins out over the short carbon chain. Butanol, with a four-carbon chain, is moderately soluble because of a balance between the two trends. Alcohols of five or more carbons (Pentanol and higher) are effectively insoluble because of the hydrocarbon chain's dominance.\n\nBecause of hydrogen bonding, alcohols tend to have higher boiling points than comparable hydrocarbons and ethers. All simple alcohols are miscible in organic solvents. This hydrogen bonding means that alcohols can be used as protic solvents.\n\nThe lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen of the hydroxyl group also makes alcohols nucleophiles.\n\nAlcohols, like water, can show either acidic or basic properties at the O-H group. With a pKa of around 16-19 they are generally slightly weaker acids than water, but they are still able to react with strong bases such as sodium hydride or reactive metals such as sodium. The salts that result are called alkoxides, with the general formula RO- M+.\n\nMeanwhile the oxygen atom has lone pairs of nonbonded electrons that render it weakly basic in the presence of strong acids such as sulfuric acid. For example, with methanol:

I would say CH2O2 (I'm assuming you mean formic acid, not dioxirane), CH3CO2H, and water.  \n\n"Important" is a tough word here, as all of these compounds can participate in h-bonding to varying degreees, with water being the strongest and CH2F2 being the weakest.  That said, strong hydrogen bonding gives rise to many of the nifty properties of water and in all three cases the h-bonding is powerful enough to raise the boiling points to be significantly higher than what you would expect based on molecular weight.

Lemon juice in warm water is claimed to be a great diuretic. I learned this while my wife attended  the Diet Center program and it worked.
