I buy bottled distilled water, and I have read that it can go more acid as it sets, but should be neutral pH 7 when first made. I plan to do more study on this later. Still I believe you should be drinking distilled water.
Jim I make my own distilled water, by the dual distalation process, this uses two containers separated by a catch system and spout. The upper tank acts as a condenser by having an inverted funnel inside, and the water is preheated to drive off low temp distillates. This water is then manually poured into the lower tank where H2O is boiled off at a low flame to prevent splashing into the separator. I don't believe that better distilled water can be had for a reasonable cost, and I only use store bought distilled water when traveling, which has been rare of late. > The urine test readings were taken at wakeup + just before bed. > > Wakeup late in day > 05/16 5.1 7.0 > 05/17 5.3 6.3 > 05/18 5.3 6.5 > 05/19 5.0 6.8 > 05/20 5.1 7.2 > Is this unusual, as this is the first time that I have had more than 1 > test in 1 day?

Best time to take the pH is around 2 p.m. Fast those 2 hours and give me a pH reading for that, and I can tell you more. I rarely eat anything in the morning, taking only a sip or two of distilled water until lunchtime. So most of the ( late in day ) tests are fasting for 2 to 4 hrs. > I have SLEEP APNEA and am on a Bi-PAP machine every night. > Also have had anemia for 10 years and have had blood transfusions > several times, last blood test RBC was 4.84 just above the low > of 4.40 to 5.90 normal range, several other tests are low also. > Have had kidney infections for 10 yrs also, have been on almost constant > antibiotics until 9 mos ago started CS, three current urine tests have shown > no bacteria growth.

The kidney stones that I have are STRUVITE the rarest type and are caused by bacterial action. My calcium levels at least according to the MDs and hospital blood test are normal at 9.5 with the normal range being mg/dl (8.7- 10.1). Is it still possible to have a calcium deficiency when blood tests show normal? First off, I can tell you that you have a . The kidney stones are caused by a calcium deficiency, plus the pain you have in your legs and feet are probably caused by the calcium deficiency as well. When the body chemistry gets off, the body will not accept minerals even if you are taking plenty of the right kind! You also have an iron/vitamin B-12 deficiency which is causing the anemia. My mother is to most forms of iron, and she is on kidney dialisis 3 times per week. The MD's were unable to do anything about her iron. She would have to have blood every now and then. Then I started working on the problem, and found the herb Yellow Dock to be high in iron, so she started taking that. It helped, but would never get her iron level up to normal. Then I added a product called Doc's Ferro Tonic, which was developed by the man who started the urine/saliva test I do. That did the trick. She found the yellow dock made her have the runs, and the Ferro Tonic made her constipated, so she was able to balance the two supplements so she was regular, and at the same time brought her blood levels of iron up to normal!!! I would also be interested in what foods you eat. That is probably playing a part in your health (a big part!) Take care. Keep me posted! God Bless you! Jim Einert, N.D. I am also allergic to any iron products that have ferrous sulfate in them which is in every one the MDs prefer. I was supposed to take 2 ferrous sulfate tablets three times a day, I took two and was deathly sick for three days, the MDs answer was to take only one tablet per day, which only made me sick for two days. He assured me that it was not possible to be alergic to iron pills, I went directly to the library and looked in the drug co. manual and found that it was a low percentage but many people are in fact alergic to iron products. After many trys I found that I use could ferrous gluconate, and have been taking them for 4yrs. I eat mostly a veg diet including home grown sprouts, have slowly moved in this direction since I became ill, but still crave meat, chicken. This may not be bad,according to D'Adamo blood type O need some meat to be healthy. I have found that many of the things that he says for type O to avoid I naturely dislike. I still eat some things that he says to avoid like cabbage, and whole wheat bread, I have cut them out for long periods and did not notice any change in my condition without them or when they were resumed.
