After reading the article on the site below I have questions but no means to
answer them, being in the IT environment. Maybe one of you learned people
could shed some light on this? I think this is an avenue for some very
valuable research.

Is the LVDC method not adding too much energy to the water? (Causing the
particles that colide to lose their energy & then stick together)
What happens to the water during the process of making CS, Is it transformed
in any way?
Does the suface tension change, are we structuring the water in some way?
Should we not make CS with structured water, in this form it would be more
benificial?
Does magnetic stirring in effect make CS in structured water?
Does the pH change when making CS?

Some extracted paragraphs.
But how long the water retains its added energy structure or colloidal form
is a very complicated question. The concentration is one factor. Remember,
electrically charged colloids act as tiny electrical 'seeds' for the
formation of liquid crystals. The more colloids we have, the greater the
effect on liquid crystal formation. This is true up to a critical colloid
concentration. When that point is reached many things can occur - surface
tension bottoms out, and the system may become unstable due to too much
charge. 

The fifth factor that must be considered is the pH of the system. pH is a
measure of available free hydrogen (positive charge) and free hydroxyl
(negative charge) ions in the liquid. At a pH of 7.0 these ions are in
balance. As the pH goes up we have more hydroxyl ions which have a negative
charge. As the pH goes down, we have more hydrogen ions which have a
positive charge. In colloidal chemistry pH is critical as a change in pH
will affect the zeta potential (charge). For every colloidal system there is
a perfect pH balance for life-span and zeta potential. By changing the pH we
can raise zeta potential charge to a critical point where surface tension
will be at the absolute lowest, but the life-span of the colloid system may
also be at its lowest. For example, by altering the pH balance of a given
concentration of liquid crystal colloids we can vary the surface tension
from 25 dynes per centimeter to 65 dynes per centimeter. The life-span of
the colloidal system at 25 dynes is a few hours, while the life-span at 65
dynes is greatly in excess of 150 years! 

And lastly, we must consider the time factor. When we add colloids to water
we see a change in surface tension that varies with time. For example, when
a given amount of colloids are added to water the surface tension may change
from 73 dynes to 65 dynes. After thirty minutes we may see a surface tension
of 45 dynes. This time factor is due to the time it takes liquid crystals to
form around the colloidal 'seeds'. 

Think about the explanation we gave you earlier and you'll see why. In
layman's terms you could say that the structured water concentrates the
disorganized water atoms into liquid crystals which are then surrounded with
relatively "empty" water. Positively charged silver atoms are then
introduced into this water. Some adhere to the negative points of the liquid
crystals turning them into positive points. With all the liquid crystals now
having nothing but positive points. Additional positively charged silver
does not "adhere" to the crystals but rather, stays in suspension by the
repelling action of "like charges". The resulting colloid will accept more
silver and keep it in suspension much longer than a colloid made with plain
distilled water. What's more, this silver colloid, being made from a water
that more closely resembles the water found within your body and it's cells,
is assimilated much more rapidly and thoroughly - and is thus, more
effective. 

The vortex combined with the magnetic field is the best. Providing you
remember to take into account the Zeta potential - one of the 5 essential
factors that determines a colloids life and effectiveness. Too much of a
magnetic charge can make your structure (and its resulting colloid) almost
worthless. In between is the stirring method. Put the water into a cup or
glass and stir it with a magnet, swiftly enough for a vortex to form in the
liquid. Stir for 30 seconds. Let the water stand for 6 minutes at least.
This produces structuring four times better than the shaking method. Repeat
the stirring method after the first 6 minutes and you'll make it almost as
good as the funnel method, which follows. 

With the funnel method you acquire a funnel that produces a vortex of
swirling of the water as it empties. Not all funnels will do this. The swirl
should be in a clockwise direction. Attach one or two magnets to the outside
of the funnel, on opposite sides, down near the narrow end, with the
positive side and negative sides in toward the funnel. Pour the water thru
the funnel (making sure of the swirling action). Let stand at least 6
minutes and repeat. This method produces an excellent structure, but it only
works well if you're doing a quart or more at a time. 

If you are doing small amounts use the magnetic stirring. If you're doing
larger amounts, use the funnel method. Sound like too much work and bother?
Think you can never assemble the equipment to do it yourself? Fear not!
We've done it for you! As usual, we've taken most of the work out of this
project and can now provide you with a water structuring kit! And this one
really is so simple that an 8 year old can do it. 

An infant at birth has an average body water content of 97%. By the time we
reach adulthood, our average water content is 70%. As we age the average
water content decreases along with flexibility, youth, and vital bodily
functions. What displaces the water so vitally needed by the cells? The
answer is of course inorganic minerals and toxins which are stored int he
cells. Since liquid crystal waters increase water uptake in plants by 400%
its possible that these may increase the vital content of the cells by
washing away toxins. Studies show that there is not one area of human life
that high energy colloids cannot improve. Those, by themselves, are very
good reasons why we should all be drinking structured water. However,
structured water has additional advantages not yet mentioned.
