Acidosis and Yeast Infections

Over the past year or so I have had the opportunity to work with quite a few people in regards to their yeast infection treatment. Most have gotten well following my plan but some haven't. All of them achieved marked improvement in their symptoms and the way they felt. This lead me to do some research into a possible acidosis link to yeast infections.

I have come to believe it is part of it, as this condition affects everyone whether the yeast infection is a simple reoccurring vaginal infection or a systemic yeast infection. Acidosis is also a common link as pertaining to all the diseases found on the systemic yeast infection page and more.

Many people suggest acidosis is a by-product or the result of disease. But what if it was the other way around? What if some doctors and scientists are correct and acidosis is part of the cause? The Japanese for example have been treating diabetes with great success since the 50's by treating the acidosis of the body first, and not trying to control the blood sugar levels through medication.

The pages below are reports on my findings.

How to Balance Your Ph

NOTE: As of 11/2006 acidity is not the common cause of yeast infections. Matter of fact, candida yeast can live in a ph environment of 2.5 to 8.0 and that about covers all possible extremes of the human body. Now this doesn't mean maintaining normal ph levels are not important because they are. Most other diseases are caused by being over acidic, which leads to oxygen starvation at the cellular level and subsequently cancer and many other minor diseases. Maintaining alkalinity does promote good bacteria in the body so it does help treat yeast in a round about way.
