When will my pH start going up?

I've been on the diet for a week, eating mostly alkalizing foods. In addition I'm taking cod liver oil, coral calcium, and I'm juicing veggies, all in effort to alkalize. But my pH tests still show (every morning via saliva) no color changes (i.e. they are 5.0 - 5.5).

That said, I've had candidiasis before, i've been on the diet before, and i've used the pH strips before. The last time it worked and my pH alkalized over time and the strips got more and more blue each day. But why isn't this working now? How many weeks might it take? Tweet
