Candida will alkalize the stomach causing you to be unable to absorb iron and b12 as well as other nutrients creating malabsorption, anemia, and having low blood pressure. I know because I have been that way for years until I discovered that I needed stomach acid supplements (HCL) and digestive enzymes. When I started that I started experiencing candida die off because it can not exist in a stomach with healthy acids.I was told years ago I was anemic but being an MD the witch doctor had no suggestion on what to about it unless I spent more money for tests and saw a specialist and all the other nonsense that comes with seeing a modern witch doctor.Too bad I had to take years of research to figure it out for myself when a doctor should have been able to tell me what I needed without raiding the bank account and insurance company selling me useless drugs. Its all a big scam and we are being scammed by the so called medical establishment.
