Summary: Where's the Science?
Review: Due to constant poor health with no cause that any doctor could find, this book was recomended by a family friend when I was 15. Most unfortunately, I did not open it until I was 20. As I looked through it,I was amazed to find the answer I have been looking for for years. Yeast is more than an infection "down there," it can affect your whole life, causing fatigue, depression, weak immune system, irritability and more. This book gives examples of personal experience, which I could finally relate to. It explains how yeast can effect you, why it is there, and what you can do about it- which can be as easy as changing your diet in some cases. This was my saving grace! I took the book to my doctor and had to tell her what was wrong with me, since they never thought to look at yeast. After some testing, it was determined that this was indeed my problem, and now I am doing much better. If you think this may be your problem, read this! It could improve your life tremendously.

Summary: One Helpful Tool
Review: I have read the previous reviews, and I can honestly say that I recommend this book. Listen, this is just one tool in the search for answers. First of all, anyone who does not think that candida causes severe symptoms and illness has never had the problem!! Only through months and years of trial and error with doctors, anti-fungal drugs, and diet can you truly understand what is is like to live with CRS. So, take this book for what it is, one tool in the fight against candida. Educate yourself, but don't just look to one book, doctor, friend, etc., for all of the answers.

Summary: I was very disappointed in the content.
Review: I picked up this book hoping it would be a clear, concise view of how yeast can interfere with the body. What I found instead was an author so unsure of his own work, that he spent the whole book citing others information and neglecting to convey the actual information I was looking for! And to top it off, his "expert information" often didn't relate to yeast at all! I started the book with the assumption he was right-on (or I wouldn't have bought it) but ended up feeling more confused and angered at the huge waste of time this book was! His ideas were presented poorly, if at all. Information on diet was the best part of the book, but I've read a ton of other books that explain the same exact views better. Definately not worth the time.

Summary: A 600+ page advertisement for other books
Review: I was extremely disappointed in this book! I bought it because it was the most up-to-date of the Crook books, and was hoping for serious, factual discussions and step-by-step instructions on how to deal with yeast related problems. Instead, I find hundreds of excerpts from letters to the doctor (nice, but tiresome after a while), and broad overviews on important topics with references to other books. Getting to the most (in my opinion) important topic - modifying your diet - there is ONE PARAGRAPH about the initial diet and something like 'in general, you want to eliminate all sugar, yeast, etc...' OK, but how about IN SPECIFIC? This problem was repeated throughout the book - just when you think you're going to get some valuable, specific information, it says 'as discussed in The Yeast Connection,' or 'as discussed in The Yeast Connection Handbook.' I don't want/need an ad for THOSE books, I would like the information in this one!

Summary: important info here
Review: Ignore the review b4 mine - this person states that even people with AIDS or HIV don't get yeast infections? a very close person in my life had AIDS, suffered badly with yeast infections of the the mouth, and has since passed. b4 antibiotics, yeast was not common, we did not need anti-fungal meds until the advent of anti-biotics. this book is important.

Summary: This is required reading for anyone who wants genuine
Review: quality of life and medical care. This book has really been a turning point in my own health trials and trevails and I applaud Dr. Crook and his confederates for persisting despite the typical reaction of the public in rejecting that which is not add water and mix. And yet, this is as simple as that in many ways. I also enjoyed Proof Positive and really think that if Dr. Nedley could explore the yeast connection he would really have a very well rounded book because Dr. Crook has not ignored the very real and pervasive danger of chemicals and their deleterious effect on us humans and it's correlation to yeast problems. Highly recommended reading for the intelligent and open minded.

Summary: Excellent
Review: The information in this book changed my life. The 'Tradional Doctors' have no knowledge of Candida, I could not find out what was wrong with me until I read the book. This book was an answer to prayer. Thank You Dr. Crook

Summary: Where is the tallest mountain?
Review: This book has enlightened me so much that I wish I could go to the top of the tallest mountain and shout for everyone to hear. After being told that my problems are all in my head I was fed up with the whole medical community. Finding this book has allowed me to realize that that is true, but not in the way it was originally implied. Having a Candida problem has caused my migraines, sinus problems and general malaise for so many years that I began to believe I was doomed to a life of misery. I am now, with Dr. Crook's help, beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. So many things have been explained that it really does seem like this book was written for me, however it is also comforting to know that I am not the only one out there feeling like I do. Unfortunately it means giving up chocolate, but that is a small price to pay for relief. This book is the life-saver I needed to know that I would not have to spend the rest of my life in torment. I now have a reason to smile and I am sure others will too.

Summary: Read me after reading all the negative reviews
Review: This book helped me as I am sure that it has helped others. Other reviewers stated that they couldnt find the info that they were looking for or that he advertised other books. You must look closely into this book and you will find your answers. Most people read and get upset when there are not pictures to follow but if you are truly sick you will comb every page looking and finding the answers. He talks about other books and gives other doctors insights because he is trying to give resources to the reader and this sickness is not readily accepted by doctors and he asks you to give a copy to your doctor. He writes from the possible understanding that he must help another doctor see the way to help the better good of patients all over the world. This book is written to patients and doctors. Reviewers look a little closer.
