I used the water treatment last cycle, and though I didn't always drink enough through the day, it was breaking up the cycle. I was down to one attack every other or third day instead of two a day (then I ended the cycle with another method: magic!)
I use water as an abortive as well. When I feel an attack coming on, I quick chug down a full quart or more in a couple of minutes. It often, but hardly always, will at least reduce the severity and duration of the attack, and sometimes will end an attack completely in five or ten minutes. You got to catch it early though. A glass or two also seems to help chase the shadows.
Tonite I go hit with a six while on the road. Damn thing snuck up on me. Chugged water when I got home after about ten minutes, but it was too late.
That was an hour ago. Now the beast is fading, but I sure gotta pee. Life is grand.
