Candida thrives in acid medium - Really???
Many posters in this forum believe that candida thrives in an acid medium.
i wanna put a note on that.
slow metabolism is a cause of candidiasis - and it is mainly due to excessive alkalinity of the intestine.
Again saying: slow metabolism is a cause of candidiasis - and it is mainly due to excessive alkalinity of the intestine.
one who has candidiasis has a slow metabolism - it's a fact. The reason for this is copper imbalance , alkaline organ and tissues, medications, high carb diets and other toxins.
The body cells of a candida sufferer tends to be acidic, but the intracelular spaces where candida thrives are too alkaline.
The gut cells do not produce enough acid end products such as lactic acid which help feeding beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria like lactobacilii also
helps resisting outgrowth of candida.
one reason of these being taking enough
Antibiotics . It's known that taking enough
Antibiotics kill beneficial bacteria and help outgrowth of candida. Why?? because most
Antibiotics form alkaline environemnt in gut. Acidophilus and other ëfriendlyí yeasts help maintain an acidic intestinal environment. Antibiotics often kill acidophilus. E. coli and other bacteria replace the friendly organisms and produce an alkaline environment in which candida thrives. too much alkalinity in gut
resists forming of lactic acid and thus kills beneficial bacteria.
slow metabolisers are often found deficient in HCL. This stomach acid normally kills candida. This is one reason acidophilus, an acid-forming organism, often helps alleviate candida.
proper bowel flora is extremely common and often contributes to candida infections. Much of the problem is due to
Antibiotic use and constant ingestion of small doses of antibiotics found in drinking water and commercial animal products. Other toxic chemicals or
additives in foods may also be a factor.
Low fiber in the diet, parasitic infections and stress also impair bowel activity. Debris in the intestines, often in pockets in the colon, also harbors bacteria that interfere with normal bowel flora. Constipation also aggravates candida infection. If one does not have a daily bowel movement, extra fiber, ox bile, pancreatin and magnesium will usually correct the problem. Herbal laxatives can be habit-forming.
One may, however, be constipated even if one has daily bowel movements. Food should pass through the intestines within 48 hours. When it is delayed, harmful organisms have more time to multiply and generate toxins. To test bowel transit time, eat some beets at one meal and note how long it takes for the red color to show up in the stool. Extra fiber and an improved diet will often decrease bowel transit time.
