Baking soda made me worse. Others feel better on it.

It would be nice if some people on this forum would not use attacking language.

Yes, I am still sick, mainly because my stressful life and lack of will power keep me from sticking to a wonderful diet. Yes, I've started all the variations of that diet, including the alkalizing one, but due to the above cannot stick to them for long enough to get far.

Baking soda, while it may help some people, made me worse. That worsening in me was not die off. (I get die off when I avoid all fruit and sweets, I know what die-off feels like in me.) Yet baking soda, whether used orally or in enemas, seems to help some people. Other people the opposite.

All of the actual scientific studies that I've seen, except the orange mold fungus study in the thread lower on this page, strongly imply that C. Albicans grows faster in alkaline conditions, not in acids, if all other conditions are equal. The orange mold study shows the opposite, though.

I saw a post from someone with candida, who had colon tests done where their colon was slightly alkaline, and the labs write-up stated that the average person has instead an acidic colon. So if that person's colon is alkaline, and people without candida have an acidic colon, that made me believe there may be a connection. At the very least, that person who did that colon lab test still had candida, despite their alkaline colon.

Posting that "he/she doesn't know what they are talking about" is not a polite way to make a post on the forum. If you disagree with me, consider another way of responding please.
