Fruit promotes alkalinity, so...?

[Guest guest]

I've just been reading The Optimum Nutrition Bible by Holford, and

he says that fruits like oranges promote alkalinity in the body (even

though they taste acidic). Does their sweetness really outweigh this fact

when it comes to candida? I read on the internet that someone actually

cured their candida by drinking fresh fruit juices (they were attempting to

cleanse themselves of parasites but also ended up eliminating the candida)

- and I know that this flies in the face of all that we've been told, but

to me it seems like fruit should be helpful if it promotes alkalinity!?

Does anyone have any experience of this, or is anyone here a nutritionist

who can help or explain this to me?

i over dosed with carrot juice. i drank 1 glass ful of fresh squeesed carrot

juice & was really sick the rest of the day. it has a lot of sugar in it.

if i drink reg. coffee in the a.m. i'll eat a fresh apple or take liquid

greens or chlorafill (sp) after. & that seems to help. also i use the old

time perk coffee pot you cook over the stove and let it perk for 10 minutes.

it boils some of the acid and caffeine away. hope this helps Mog

I fast my colonic irrigation clients, and that includes my candida clients

on pineapple and apple juice. I may also take one vegetable and one fruit

combination. It does not flare the candida up. It does work better.

If they are not doing colonics, I advise my candida clients to stick to

vegetable juices. Again, depending on the client, I will include apple

pectin tablets.

It all depends on the individual and their immune system. I work very

closely with them.

I heard someone say yesterday that they drank straight carrot juice for

days as a cleanse.... also helps with digestion... anyone try this?

I can definitely see the truth in that. I had 2 kiwis since last night

(recommende for better digestion), and my sinuses and revolting! I just

can not tolerate the sugar.
