I did some more research and have to say that after my personal experience with candida and the alkaline/acid ph thing, that; If you feed your body 80% alkaline and 20% acid you're on the right track. With candida issues however, no matter what you ph you choose to eat, Sugar of any ph is Sugar and that's what feeds candida. stopping the Sugar is what kills candida. Having an alkaline setting when you stop the sugar feedings is not only crucial but is the only way to live with candida in balance and harmony. And the only way to feel good. There are good supplements out there that will help keep the body in control like msm.
