Ay wait sir, I did not say na 5.6. It is 5.5 - 6 or 6.0 to be exact.
pH 6.0 IS STILL acidic, so if they claim the alkaline water is at that level, IT'S NOT ALKALINE.
By the way, you can't make pure water by boiling. Pure water means that you got to remove ALL the other components present in the water. So tell me, how does boiling remove Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, Zn, etc? Heat IS a catalyst BUT it can NEVER remove elements or even compounds from water. Those elements do not evaporate so as to say.
Let me restate what I said previously, and I'll set it in bold.
"you can make your own pure water even with
home distillation (didn't you have this experiment in high school chem?). The
closest possible in purifying is SIMPLY boiling tap water. Personally, I sometimes do buy filtered / distilled water for convenience, but I have survived on tap water."
So, I didn't say you can purify water by boiling it.
Pure water means pure H2O and no other impurities. Those used in the IV Lines of patients are not really Pure water as they have like 0.9% NaCl (though it depends on what he/she needs)
IV drips are are saline solutions. They are used to rehydrate patients and give their blood electrolytes.
As with distillation, it does not remove those elements present in water. If you really would want to remove them, then you should rather perform electrolysis, etc.
Electrolysis DOES NOT remove impurities (nor it alkalizes the water). In fact, impurities need to be present in electrolytic liquids in order for electrolysis to work.
Distillation does. Impurities in water are microscopic solid particles of minerals. When you distill water, the impurities are left when water turns into vapor, which is then collected into another container.
By the way, neutral pH is not really 7. 7 is still acidic. The neutral range is from 7.35-7.45, the pH of our blood.
Incorrect. A "neutral" pH range is somewhere greater than six but not more than 7.5. Water is called a NEUTRAL acid.
Where did you study chemistry?
Yes, I do agree that what causes our diseases are mainly bacterias. But sir, our body is a system of checks and balances. A mere alteration in our pH level causes either acidosis or alkalosis. It may be metabolic acidosis or alkalosis or even respiratory acidosis or alkalosis.
I didn't say pH balance does not matter, but, we do have a very efficient pair of machines built in. They're called KIDNEYS. They are the organs that keep the body's pH in check. If your urine is too alkaline, it means you've consumed too much alkaline-forming substances. If it's acidic, it's the reverse. If you get acidosis or alkalosis, there's something wrong with your kidneys.
So basically, don't go around telling people that pH doesn't matter and it won't affect your health.
You should follow your own advice, since it's obvious you drink alkaline water.
FYI, people will DIE because of acidosis or alkalosis. For example, acidosis may cause contraction of blood vessels in the brain which may cause cerebral infarction while alkalosis may cause dilation of such vessles resulting in an increase in a person's intracranial pressure.
You must be a doctor, but one who does not know why the body is in a constant state of pH flux.
It's good to be skeptical at times, but one could not contest with someone who had been exposed with all these stuffs for such a long time. 
I'm not a skeptic just because. I can actually say your exposure to these "stuff" didn't make you any more knowledgeable. For one, your ideas in chemistry suck.
