Water consumption

That's great that just drinking the water helps you. I have been drinking high ph water for years. I really never noticed a difference but I'm afraid to stop drinking it. If I am away I buy the highest ph they sell in a regular store. I usually try to add lemons to it. Do you think RO water is the best. I know its a bit controversial.

I know there are a lot of health claims about alkaline water, but have you also read some of the potential disadvantages? Over the years, I've seen people push alkaline water pretty hard. (many were raw vegans) Later, many issued retractions and reversed their advice - suggesting that people NOT drink alkaline water.

If you have read both sides of the debate, then kindly disregard this note. My only concerns are for your health and your budget!

I prefer spring water like Zephyrhilis, assuming you can get over the BPA from the bottle. It's slightly alkaline and contains trace minerals. I am of the opinion that we have a decrease in trace minerals and we would have this whether we had Lyme or not. Farming pulls the minerals out of the ground and when farmers fertilize, they don't replace trace minerals. Sure, they use a little boron on peanuts, but in general, none of the crops get fertilized with trace minerals. Over time, the fields have reduced quantities of trace minerals. This contributes to aging.
