One thing that came to my mind is a liquid enhancer, Leo. My Mom has one that 
restores the water to its proper magnetic fields, like spring water, and it 
affects the pH also. It is great for neutralizing acid in orange juice, pizza 
sauce, etc . . . My great aunt Hilda in Sarasota FL could not drink her own 
fresh orange juice for years as the acid bothered her. Then my Mom cared for 
her last winter and poured the juice through the liquid enhancer and PRESTO! 
Aunt Hilda felt great on it and loved drinking the juice again!!!!

When water comes out of the earth, the magnetic fields are perfect for us and 
are therapeutic to the skin. When the water goes through metal fittings, pumps, 
and faucets, then the magnetic fields are changed to less desirable fields.

Another product on the market that would help is a coral tea bag, drop one in 
the water and shake it up or stir it, and this releases minerals in the water 
which also balances the pH.

I, personally, would not drink distilled water with what I have seen in people 
that do for a length of time . . . it is a challenge to get enough minerals in 
your diet alone and many of us supplement in some way or another, but with 
distilled water, you tend to have even more of a mineral deficiency.

Just one instance, I have a brother who is a body builder. When he tried 
distilled water for several months, he lost strength!!! He did great after he 
went back to 'regular water'. You can buy good purifier for around $100 that 
will balance the water pH, purify the water, and this is also great tasting 
water!!!!

I like water that has been purified, magnetized with the liquid enhancer, and 
then enhanced with a little coral tea bag . . . talk about some 'sweet' water 
now!!!! How close to Garden of Eden do you want to get?!

For more information on distilled water go to: www.mercola.com

I understand that plants die when they get only distilled water.

Distilled water has it's place, for one, making Colloidal Silver! Maybe for a 
short term cleanse it would be okay?

I am glad it is a free world and that I can choose my own drinking water!!!!

Sincerely,
Orpha

  Subject: CS>ph?


  Thanks for the help and ideas so far. 
  Well, I measured my filtered tap water just before it entered into my home 
distiller - it was about 7. 
  The distilled water dripping out of the charcoal filter on the draining 
(outgoing) side was about 6 - one full point lower than the stuff going in! 
Does anyone know which mineral is most responsible for raising the ph - or 
lowering it as it is distilled out of the water and left as residue at the 
bottom of the boiling chamber? 
  I repaired to my health food store shortly after my last post and bought some 
mineral solution that was supposed to raise the ph of distilled water. Six time 
I added 10 drops and measured each time. The ph paper changed a bit but not 
much. The water tasted odd. After I drank the water, it left me with a strange, 
but full feeling, not unpleasant. I sensed it was good for me and I will 
experiment a bit. 

  I have been drinking dw for 30 years, and I may be suffering from mineral 
depletion and low ph because of long term use of this stuff. I tested my CS and 
it was the same ph as dw. But the calcium hydroxide solution (limewater) was 
sky high. Would it be advisable to raise the ph of our dw CS to make it more 
effective - any thoughts? 
  Leo
