Candida is not an easy thing to get rid of and generally it can take a long time. Did you go raw hoping to improve your PH? I found this does NOT work. If a person does not have candida or has a very mild case then this could possibly work. But once the intestine is covered with mucoid plaque preventing absorbtion of the very minerals you need to absorb in order to become alkaline, you now need to take a different route. The ONLY route is to cleanse the bowel. This can take months , UI did see almost immediate results though. PB& C shakes are highly recommened. These flush out the bowel , kill candida and remove toxins , all important key actions in ridding yourself of excess candida. Once you have cleansed you will now have clean bowel surface are to re-establish good bacteria...this is when going raw can really help. My belief is that going raw beforehand will not help and could actually hurt. Digestiong raw foods can be hard for those of us with dirty digestive tracts. Especially since the villi ( little hairs that absorb and diget mtter in the gut) are covered with plaque, undigested matter and candida. Whatever yopu do chew alot and drink tons of water. You also need to supplement wiht magnesium, calcium, vit c with zinc, b-vitamins and EFA's.
