Yes, correct it is alkaline. I have seen the ammonia for myself and ammonia is alkaline. I believe the solution is to mostly or only eat foods that when candida eats, it will die. Such as rutabaga. If it eats all of the food it dies. If it says NO! I dont want that, you get the nutrients and the immune system gets a powerup. You can have Sugar and carbs from raw beans and certain vegetables, and at the same time starve the candida. If you starve yourself you are only weakening the immune system which is your biggest weapon. When you're up against an army of thousands do you come into the fight with a hand gun or a big bomb?
