I've always wondered about this, for the popular notion of an acidic environment leading to candida is not true for me. I'm actually on the alkaline side, yet I have bad fungal issues. I am also hypochloric and need to take HCl in order to eat and digest and prevent GERD (it helps, but not entirely).
How do u suggest a person become LESS alkaline in order to kill candida?
The flora are what maintain the proper acidic pH, especially in the colon. So the best way to restore the proper pH is with live culture foods to jump start the flora numbers, then making sure to feed the flora with prebiotics. Prebiotics are fibers that the flora use to ferment creating food for themselves and acids and bactericides to control fungal Candida and other pathogens. These include brans, vegetable gums, inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), etc.
