## Going on those two samples aforementioned I had tested it showed that the Ph is dramatically high alkaline immediately after the brewing process and drops over time in storage to around that base 7 to 8. > So storage in air tight, almost full bottles would age the > solution differently than partially filled bottles or open > beakers would.

I think the vessel is actually around 12-1300 ml. Trouble is, every time I open the lid the solution is exposed to whatever is in the atmosphere, and I guess that will result in the solution pulling something out of the air into it, each and every time the lid is taken off. Minor thing perhaps, but may be more important that one first thinks? > pH is a big factor in most biochemistry. and its change with > time or preparation method for silver water may explain some > of the non-repeatability that different people have seen in > the use of silver water. ## This is an area of which I'd like to see more information about, but that information *must* relate to the predominantly ionic solution as produced in the home and not the shop bought 'CS' stuff. For example, if cancer is supposed to suffer in a high alkaline environment, and prosper in an acidic environment, then this could go some way to explain the efficacy of EIS when taken immediately after brewing {high Ph}, or later on after it's been in storage for a while and Ph has dropped? And this could also apply for any number of other health related issues as well?
