Hello List. This is Nenah Sylver. Y'all may remember me from awhile back when my name was "Nina Silver" (different spelling, same pronunciation). After taking some time off to write another book and work on some other things, I'm back on the list.
About a month ago I had an interesting experience with CS. I have three nice little generators and make my CS in what's called a "sun tea" jar, made of glass. I put the electrodes through a hole in the plastic cover and the CS is dispensed through a spigot at the bottom. I was plagued with all sorts of annoying infections. Despite my knowledge of how well CS works, I was not drawn to use the stuff I had made. This seemed strange to me, considering how blocked my sinuses were and how miserable I was feeling. I finally added some pH testing drops to the CS and discovered to my horror that it was 5! This indicates a fair degree of acidity. I then tested the distilled water that I'd been buying from the local supermarket. The DW was 5, too. Knowing that DW is highly reactive and that once exposed to air, it immediately combines with carbon dioxide and becomes acid instead of its neutral pH of 7.0, I have always made sure to ONLY use freshly opened DW for my CS. Therefore, I knew that the pH of the DW must have been 5 at the place where it was bottled. (The DW is also in plastic, not a positive thing since DW will leach out the plastic into the water.) This incident showed me how often, our intuition will be working when there is no "logical" reason for our choice of actions. Somewhere in my not-conscious mind, I knew (or felt) that the CS was acidic and therefore dangerous to drink. At a pH of 5, any benefit from the microbe-killing activities of CS are likely to be mitigated by the acidity of the fluid -- at least for me. For every .1 (that's point-one) gradation on the pH scale, it takes 10 parts of alkaline fluid to offset the negative effects of 1 part of acidic fluid. At any rate, this incident convinced me to buy my own distiller. There are a lot of them out there. Three of my friends have had their distillers break down in the course of two years, so I want to be very careful before I buy. I suppose a plastic, rather than glass, container would be okay as long as the plastic is fairly stable. But this leaves me with the matter of exposure to air. I want to make sure that my distiller does not simply give me more acid water. So what do the people on this list use? Are there any good distillers out there you can recommend? Thanks in advance for your help and interest.
