I know this sounds silly and simplistic and that you juice raw veggies and do all the alkalizing stuff but......

What really helps me to alkalize is eating a bowl full of raw curly parsely (about 6 big sprigs with plenty of leaf bunches) with plain water before going to bed at night. Not only is it extremely alkalizing, it also helps the kidneys to cleanse out the gunk the kidneys may be loaded up with, acidic toxins from candida and dead candida. All toxins in the kidneys are acidic. Don't eat anything else with the parsely.

During the day you can drink herb tea to cleanse kidneys of the acidic toxins. Very helpful. Don't overdo the tea, though. One or two cups spread out. Too much will wash out the minerals.

Also, what is the last meal of the day like for you? Best to have the larger meal for lunch and vegetarian meal at dinner. The kidneys do their cleaning work at night while we sleep. It is much better not to load them up before bed.

Michelle is right, it takes months to realkalize and reestablish the mineral reserves.
