============================ Joy, Water is a powerful solvent and in nature, it naturally attracts minerals. Depending on the minerals present in water, water will be acidic (below 7.0) or alkaline (above 7.0). Distilled water by definition is water that has had all contaminants and also minerals removed via a special process. Pure distilled water theoretically, therefore, has a neutral pH of 7.0. However, this is rarely the case because the moment air touches distilled water, the water-which is trying to "right" itself by attracting other ingredients to it-absorbs carbon dioxide, thus creating a small amount of carbolic acid which ends up in the fluid. So distilled water in real life normally has a pH of anywhere from 6.3 to about 6.8. One colloidal/ionic silver company, Natural Immunogenics, deals with this problem of distilled water's extreme volatility by exposing its tanks of freshly-made distilled water to a layer of inert gas (I believe argon) so nothing in the air can react with the distilled water and lower its pH to an unacceptable acidic level. I make my own distilled water for my CS. I have accepted the fact that it will be slightly acidic. The benefits from CS outweigh the disadvantage of the water being slightly acidic. However, for each point of lowered acidity, one needs to drink 10 times that amount of alkaline water to balance that out. My drinking water is naturally alkaline, and I add Willard Water and Sea Minerals to it so I drink many glasses of alkaline water throughout the day. This counterbalances any acidity I might get from drinking CS.
