Hi TW.....When I think back, I believe I had candida for a long time. I think the mercury impaired my digestion from birth, I got alot of mercury in utero. I have had chronic constipation all my liife and I am sure that caused an overgrowth and then when I got a flu shot 4 years ago, my mercury threshold was reached and the candida got out of control. The body produces more yeast to protect us from mercury.

Yes pH balancing is so important, especially in a chronic disease situation....disease thrives in an acidic environment. That is why the veggie diet is so important for me, and I was eating so much protein cause it binds to heavy metals. I was eating lots of oils too and now I find that cancer feeds on proteins and oils. That is why cancer patients lose all their body fat. I am pretty much balanced now, I use the ph strips occasionally.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, I appreciate them the most.

Best love,
Sandi
