You do not want to activate it. When you activate it you are producing
chlorine dioxide, which will dissipate over the next few hours.. You
want the sodium chlorite unchanged when you drink it so that it will
alkalize your body. (Actually if you activate it with citric acid, that
produces sodium citrate plus chlorine dioxide, and the chlorine dioxide
dissipates, leaving behind sodium citrate. Thus all you are doing in
the end is adding a little more sodium citrate to what you already are
making, a very expensive way to do it).
Ionizing water is a good first step for getting alkaline water.
Depending on the mineral content of the water, I would say that adding
the sodium citrate as given is probably 20 to 100 times as effective as
just alkaline water alone. I personally am putting the sodium citrate
and MMS INTO ionized water, but don't think it necessary to do so, and
probably only adds 1% to 5% to the alkalinity..
I did make a mistake below though. I said 15 drops of the commercial
alkalizing drops per gallon of water. It should have been quart of water
for 15 drops, which is 60 drops per gallon.

Thanks Marshall.
Towards the end -- is that a "typo" when you wrote MSM and not wanting to
activate it? (I assume yes but since this would be the first time for me to
do this I want to make sure -- I just ordered my MMS and it should be here
in the next couple days).
Is this alkalizing water anything like Ionized water? Or is that completely
different?

I am using the following protocol:
1. Put one level tablespoon of citric acid and one level tablespoon of
baking soda into a drinking glass of at least 8 ounces.
2. add about 2 ounces of water. When foaming diminishes, stir until
foam once again diminishes
3. add 1/4 teaspoon of soda. Stir until foaming diminishes again. It is
normal for this to get very cold.
4. add 2 or 3 ounces of water and another 1/4 teaspoon of soda and stir.
If it fizzes, repeat. After adding soda about 3 times it should not
fizz any more when adding. At that point it should be right at a pH of
7 or slightly aklaline. If you taste it before adding the additional
baking soda it should taste somewhat sour. Once it has quit fizzing it
should taste salty. You can always use a pH test as well, you are
aiming for a pH of 7 or slightly over.
Either put the entire amount into 5 gallons of water, or add sufficient
water to have 5 ounces, and add one ounce to a gallon of water. If you
have it, add 4 drops of MMS to each gallon as well ( or 15 drops of
water alkalizing drops). It is important that the water be a pH of 7 or
more at this point, or it will activate the MSM, which you do NOT want.
If drinking this water be sure to take a calcium, magnesium and
potassium supplement. This water contains significant sodium and you
need to make sure and keep your electrolytes balanced. Also monitor
blood pressure if you are sensitive to sodium, as it may increase blood
pressure in some people due to the sodium content.

Hi Marshall,
Can you tell me how you "make" alkalized water? I think my pH is way off
too
and I'm interested in getting squared away!
Thx.

Well, my wife and I have been using the alkalized water now for about a
week I guess. She has also gotten all the green stuff to go with the
diet, and is eating mostly alkaline foods. Her pH has gone from 5.5 to
6.0/6.25 range first thing in the morning. Mine went from 6.75 to 8
yesterday, which is too alkaline, so I switched back to eating more acid
foods, but this morning it is 8.5, which is way too alkaline. I am
going to have to start drinking untreated water, to try and get back in
balance. However it seems that her insomnia has gone away as well as
most of her pains.

I really hope you will keep us updated on the results. Wish the best
for your wife. I am also diabetic and have to watch but think I am
holding my own right now. Would love to rid myself of this disease.
I think the better fats help. Since everyone has gone to the canola
oils etc. I think there is more incidence of the disease.
