Yes, I understand I need to become more alkaline and I know it will take much more than one drink or a week's work of drinks. I never thought or said that one drink would make a difference. It may take years to change from acidic to alkaline. But in the meantime, while my system is too acidic, perhaps the alkalizing drink is not appropriate until I can rid myself of candida.
Two posters suggest I need to adjust the drink for my condition. Increased lime possibly could help, but I hate to use myself as a guinea pig to see what proportions are right, if it means aggravating the candida, which is an awful condition to live with and an awful condition to make worse. My experience with candida is give it an inch and it will take a mile.
