Hi, It has nothing to do with your bowels being acidic; It is very simple ACV is a powerfull poison for candidas? Don't forget candidas have some kind of roots after they have muted from yeast to fungus, when ACV kill them, they are "uprooted" and leave tinny scars in the tongue the same in the intestine, should you try with hydrogene peroxide it would be exactly the same. You can go on but with ACV a little more diluted.
