Reddit reviews The Acid-Alkaline Food Guide - Second Edition: A Quick Reference to Foods and Their Effect on pH Levels

Hello my beautiful friend :)

Although I do like to take my time in crafting my responses to posts here, I am choosing to write things down a little more quickly as I am like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland today... late, late, for a very important date! :)

Not really but I need to attend to an assignment :)

I would like to share with you my experiences in healing my own genital issues. I am a fellow woman.

Most relevant to my journey: I visited a craniosacral practitioner recently and together we helped unblock much stuck energy in my sacral chakra. Craniosacral practitioners help conduct prana (life force energy) to where healing is needed, so that flow can be established. Healing the sacral chakra was a significant part of my first healing. Although I do not think you need to find one of these practitioners (although if this resonates, please do) I would like to suggest sacral chakra healing to you. There are foods one can eat (think orange-colored foods, sweet potatoes, orange red bell peppers, oranges, etc., google is your friend!) meditation music one can listen to (youtube is your friend!) and learning to conduct your own awareness and consciousness in a new way by exploring emotional healing, your sense of creativity, etc:

Things that I resonated with for your healing journey:

Marc has given you some very nice advice, and I particularly resonate with changing your laundry soap.

I believe you may have candida yeast over growth. What the heck is that?

Need to caution you, some icky pictures!

Does this interest you? You may take a quiz that may help point you to finding your diagnoses:

https://bodyecology.com/quiz-php/

This is a quiz you can take where you check off your symptoms, the higher the score, the higher the likelihood of yeast overgrowth. Don't feel bad or guilty if you think you have candida. We all have it, and a significant portion of the population has the overgrowth too. Our symptoms just manifest differently, and some are more sensitive than others. Sensitivity is a divine gift, so please do not feel ashamed :)

How to treat?

Yeast feeds on sugar, sugar fermentation leads to increased levels of acid in our body, which lowers our pH and makes us more susceptible to other microorganismal and physical/mental/emotional imbalances :) I think you might be interested in The pH Miracle by Dr. Robert Young:

Now, I provided a lot of information on candida stuff, but I certainly do not want to limit the possibility that you might have another, or different, root cause for the symptoms you are experiencing. If this does not resonate, you certainly do not have to try anything :) This is just my knowledge that I have gathered over many years of being interested in alternative health :)

May you find the healing that you seek :)

Blessed day, happy weekend :)
