Those with a science education are correct.
Water exists in a slight equilibrium with hydroxide and hydronium ions. You can ionize water by passing electricity through it until it forms hydrogen and oxygen, but then it's a bit of a stretch to call this ionized water!
The term is usually used by scammers to sell fake benefits to a gullible public.
Pure water can't be ionized because it does not conduct electricity. For electrolysis to occur some concentration of minerals must be present in the water. Water ionizers use filtered tap water to produce ionized mineral water.
While some may scoff at water ionizers, you should note that ionized water machines, producing both acid and alkaline water are used in industry. I have included a link to a company that sells commercial-grade ionizers so you can see for yourself.
One of the machines quoted on the page produces: "264.55 gallons per hour of water with a pH of up to 10" the machine that does this costs $31,990.00! I hardly think that a company would shell out $32K for something that didn't work!
The skeptic websites quoted in previous answers on this thread are misleading.

Pure water contains extremely small concentrations of "water ions", hydronium and hydroxide, under normal conditions. Each individual ion only exists for an incredibly short period of time. The molecules are constantly reshuffling themselves through collissions. So yes, water returns to "normal" almost instantly.
Anyone who trys to make a miracle claim for water is about 2,000 years too late.
That fad should have died long ago.
Medical advice from someone trying to sell me something?
That is called "conflict of interest" and that interest is never in my interest, if you know what I mean...

Yes. It's more water snakeoil. Ionized water is meaningless to chemists.

What Phil said really, you can't ionize water, although water will self-ionize to some extent - hence water being the "universal solvent"
No
