How pH affects Candida
pH affects Candida
Candida loves an acidic environment in the body.
Candida, or otherwise know as yeast overgrowth and over acidity are commonly found together. Kind of like peanut butter and jelly.
Remember that commercial with the cartoon character bugs setting up home sweet home inside someones body? Then along comes the magic medication and sweeps then away. Well candida is not so easy to eradicate. It is hard to get rid of once it has set up shop in the body. It is very hardy and tenacious.
Candida contributors:
- Antibiotic use – kills off the good and bad bacteria. Lack of beneficial flora in the gut creates a great environment for candida.
- Sugar – yeast loves sugar, kind of like throwing gas on a fire. And the candida usually doesn’t care if it’s all natural or refined it’s all the same – food.
- Caffeine
- Alcohol – see sugar, same idea
- Refined foods – try whole, natural alkaline forming foods instead.
In this video, Dr. Christopher Lepisto recommends an anti-fungal along with an alkaline eating program. Garlic is my personal favorite.
Alkaline Broth Recipe
Get a large pot.
- Add a variety of vegetables celery, carrots, potatoes, and spinach, collards, kale. Many other vegetables will work here as well. Use what is available. In season vegetables are always best.
- A large onion
- Several cloves of garlic
- Fill the pot with water, covering the vegetables completely
- Simmer for up to an hour
- Strain
- Enjoy a bowl while it’s hot.
Store the rest in the frig. Glass containers are best for storage. A few peanut butter jars that have been washed out make a good single serving storage.

Doris, if you have mercury in your body you will never get rid of the candida. The fact that you eat fish means you have mercury, even freshwater fish contain dangerous levels.
Check your fillings, if they are silver, you have even more mercury. This may explain why it got worse after dental work. Candida lives on mercury salts in the body.
Detox/chelate the mercury with cilantro/chlorella or DMPS. But only if you remove the dental fillings first. Otherwise it’ll will pull the merc out of your fillings into your body.
Hi, I am currently (4 the past 2 weeks) doing a Candida diet. Some of the recipes on the internet will keep me from starving,while I try to starve the fungus. I have suffered with it for 20+ years. Doctors did not know OR acknowledge that this was the problem,or even that there was a problem. I had one of those itches,YOU KNOW,YES for years.But no other usual symptoms.AND I went to a team of Gynecologist in a well known hospital in Dallas, who said I had chronic bacteria & they did not know the cause,Nor offer any curing help. So,I have no idea how deeply rooted this is. But it DID mutate and travel. I suffer from chronic coated tongue. I got sick with a respiratory illness last November after Dental work and a visit with a child that had Bronchitis(they did not tell me until I ask after we had been there a hour & it was his birthday party so I didn’t leave,too late anyway.) I gave all the symptoms to each doc I have seen over the past 20 years…Not one would tell me about this fungus!!!
I could not get well,so I visited the doc,who prescribed Antibiotics Not once,or twice, but 5 times between Nov and March. He even treated me with Nystatin and Another round of Antibiotics after I showed him my tongue!!
I get help from my local health food store. I was at least a pot a day coffee drinker,and loved my red wine. And drank tea all day long.All that is GONE!!
I studied everyones comments on the Web, and found some great blogs! I take 6 vitamins a day. One is a multivitamin,one b50,one occuvite,one C,one Calcium & Magnesium,and one Omega 3. AND I take one Heavy Metal cleanse(4 about 10-15 days only) and I take Proactazyme plus,or Probiotic Eleven every day. I am cooking the above mentioned broth while I write this. I have been eating Garlic and onions and cooking with them. I have eaten No red meat. Only fish and chicken. Pilgrims Pride only(to avoid antibiotics,which flared this all up)And only green vegetables or Red bell peppers and tomatoes.
Carol, lucky you to get the answers earlier than I did! But the blood test came back with no sugar problems,ect.,So I hope I actually CAN get this starved out before I do have internal trouble!
A big note: I went back for Dental work and it all got worse again??? She mentioned she had another patient on the diet,but did not see a connection. I have emailed her to take another look.
And I have instructed the physicians office to note my file…That we will have to find another way to get me well,since the fungus loves the antibiotics.FUNNY, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE HEALTH CARE PERSON SHOULD GIVE THE INSTRUCTIONS.Turns out they don’t even read the stuff you fill out in the office. So I go in explaining everything over on every visit!!
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?? I try not to stress but, give me a break! In this economy??? LOL! I have retired from a Extremely stressful job,but, then duh, went to work part time for the Post Office. OH, well. THANK YOU for this site and Info!
Years ago I suffered from severe candidasis (spelling) due to being on antibiotics for 8 months. I followed those suggestions which were from in a Yeast answers book and it took two years but I eradicated it. I know am able to enjoy most foods in moderation. I still cant have very much caffeine, nuts or alcohol. I can’t have juices, sodas or energy drinks at all.
I’ve been lead to understand that baking soda plays havac with your B vitamins. Not a good way to go alkaline.
Does baking soda lower pH levels? Which in turn can alleviate and/or cure Candida?
Possibly leaky gut too?
If so, how much baking soda would you recommend?
Any Internet material on the subject?
Thank you immensely
