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.
