Well I was working on a pet private theory I've had for years regarding EIS. From my earlier laboratory tests the pH was between 7.0 and 8.0, on the alkaline side, even after weeks in storage, now if cancer and other nasties supposed to thrive or grow or multiply in an acidic environment I considered perhaps this could have something to do with how efficacious this stuff is, and I sort of still believe it has some merit. I also believe if taken first thing in the morning before breakfast the stomach acid will be at it's lowest ebb, due to having nothing to digest for a number of hours during the night, this also is included in my pet theory for efficacy. I have only stumbled upon one article which supports that view. May be common knowledge to other folk, but being a numpty I only considered it in more recent times. As you may remember, I have always held the belief that EIS ingested immediately after brewing contains the highest amount of Ag+ ions, {which it does}, and hence is at its highest in efficacy, due to relative dormancy of stomach acid as explained above. One other pH test I had undertaken in the past, {tested within hours of production and apparently was extremely high alkaline from what the bloke said} convinced me I may not be talking out of my hat. All these in combination I had hypothesised could, and I repeat, "could", have something to do with why this stuff is so good for some health issues. Now of course everything, other than the stomach acid thing, is all hypothesising and simply pie in the sky and has been blown completely out of the water with these other pH tests I had just got done. It now seems one just cannot rely and/or trust anyone else to perform any form of tests, nor can one rely on the cleanliness of equipment used for that testing. There are just too many inconsistencies and potential variables with DW, personnel involved in the testing, equipment used, unknown contaminants etc etc. It just annoys me that I can find zero information in the public domain regarding the stuff we make, everything revolves around that damn so called "colloidal silver" and it's illegitimate cousins. I am unable to find anything to do with our predominantly ionic product which can be taken as gospel or of any relative value. Today was a disappointing day for me. OK, I may use a cheap brand of DW, but it would be nice to try Pure Water such as chemists use for prescriptions, or other water of excellent purity for pH testing, even RO water, which I can't/won't do in my kitchen anyway, so not being strong on patience I shan't bother messing around with pH for a while now. The more answers or clues I look for only turns up even more questions and uncertainties. N.

I've never tested for ph - only ppm and my distilled water always reads '0' on that and the CS always ends up about 15. Does ph matter - I mean I know it does in our bodies, but does it in CS? Many thanks...Dee
