Sol, Traditional Chinese Medicine, in fact, insists on a "differential diagnosis". To achieve a correct diagnosis and prescription depends upon the uniqueness of the presentation i.e., the strength (condition) of the pathogen and the strength (condition) of the individual as just two concerns of many. TCM is certainly not one size fits all. The alkaline/acid differernation is viewed more precisely as a tendency towards yang / yin.
Distilled water, is not dependable upon one individual metabolic type. rather viewed as one side in a many sided equation. The value of distilled water for me is that it is the only clearly defined variable in the equation. And water is in every equation. The individual can be viewed as best they can be it metabolic, acid, alkaline, yin or yang, or a big soup. water by itself may be the cure or the problem or tweaked by CS lemons herbs or drugs. always viewed case by case.

There is no "one size fits all" recipe for bringing a body into proper pH balance. Just like there is no one size fits all best diet or supplement regimen. This the problem with alternative medicine as well as with conventional medicine. Both rely on one size fits all diagnsois and treatment. sol Ed Kasper wrote: >The process of adding silver to distilled water creates >charged water.
