From Standard process site - Lactic Acid yeast used is saccharomyces cerevisiae

"There are many kinds of yeast. There is one the baker uses that changes carbohydrates to carbon dioxide to make bread rise. The brewer uses one that changes carbohydrates to alcohol. Then there is Lactic Acid Yeast, which changes carbohydrates to lactic acid. The advantage of this, of course, is that the lactic acid keeps the gastrointestinal tract acid as it should be.

If by eating refined foods a person develops an alkaline gastrointestinal tract, not only does he not digest protein -- a very bad thing, as protein is toxic when it rots in your system -- he also can't assimilate calcium and iron. This is true of other minerals as well, but especially calcium and iron. These two just cannot be picked up in an alkaline gastrointestinal tract. People are often anemic not because they do not have iron in their food, but because it goes right through them.

The main symptom of the need for Lactic Acid Yeast is intestinal gas. Intestinal gas only forms in an alkaline gastrointestinal tract because gas-producing organisms can only live in an alkaline medium. If you acidify their environment, they can't exist."

HI sickofhives

Lots of people push lots of things they know nothing about and do not have results to back it up. IN my experience one cannot force the body into an alkaline state. And now that I am well, I still believe even more it does not work. Way back when I was really sick I succumbed to whole "alkaline' theory. I bought the books ( cause you just can't listen to strangers regarding your health), I did the research and I follwed a regimen. it DID NOT WORK. Many people had a plenty of excuses. You didn't do this right, you did did not chant something positive, you did not believe. Okay I am being facecious. But it was almost that bad. IF you have candida it releases toxins. IF you kill candida it releases toxins. Toxins will make you acidic. It is really that simple. As long as you are toxic from candida or it's death you will be acid. Many people proclaim that taking excessive amounts of calcium , drinking lime water, using a refractometer to check their food etc ensures they are getting a high amount of good minerals into their system and that SHOULD counteract the acids and cause you to be more alkaline. And it does. But all it is doing is masking what is really going on. You are still acidic. You have not changed your chemical makeup. All that is happening is that you are urinating out what you have ingested. Much like the urine of a diabetic. The chinese used to test diabetics by seeing if ants were attracted to their urine. Alot comes out in the urine is my point. It does not mean it is actually forcing the body into an alkaline state.

I found absolutely no difference whatsoever by bombarding myself with so called alkaline foods. And if that is not bad enough people cannot decide what is alklain and what is acid. Google it, you'll see. All the lists contradict themselves. Getting rid of candida will make you alkaline. If you are acid it is a symptom of what is going on in your body. Get rid of candida and you will not be full of toxins making you acid.

I think the mistake that the alkalizing diet people are making is that the foods that do most of the healing ALSO make the body alkaline. So they make the assumption that the healing that takes place, IS BECAUSE the foods are alkalizing. So then they create a diet that geared towards alkalizing the body, which still heals... but not for the reason they think it does.

The key is non-acid generating foods. Does the body generate stomach acid when a certain food is eaten, if it does... then it should be avoided. Chewing well the food greatly reduces stomach acid generated. Once the body becomes saturated with acid... from digestion, health issues start to arise. I cant explain this nearly aswell as MH can in his Book 1. Read book 108 on his website, then ask him to read book 1. I am sure he will give it to you...

Raw fruits, veggies, nutts, and seeds do not generate stomach acid like does other foods.
