Rating: Summary: Thorough and full of lots of good information. Review: This book is one of the best on the subject of Candida because it presents information that many of the others don't have. For example, it lists Stevia and FOS as alternative sweeteners. Most books don't mention those two.I especially found the sections on related illnesses to be very helpful. There are sections on Cystitis and Endometriosis, among many others. This book could use still more information, but it's already very long. Perhaps compiling all of the current data on Candida would make the book too large. This book also has many mini case studies that help you understand what other people have been through with Candida. I recommend this book for any woman who has any chronic physical problem that she can't resolve. You just might find the answer in here.
Rating: Summary: A must read for anybody raised on antibiotics Review: This book provided me the most insight into what actually has been happening in my body. This book was recommended to me by a friend and has been a godsend. It explains how a person with Candida can use food as a tool to achieve health. Before reading this book, I did not understand how my eating habits were keeping my body in a state of illness. This book also explains why children who grew up being given anitbiotics for everything are more at risk for candida. I never thought I would find the topic of bowel flora and intestinal function interesting, but this book put the medical concepts within my grasp.
Rating: Summary: Where's the Science? Review: This petard hoisted on those desparately seeking an answer should be tossed in with all the other "self-help" suppositions that have no foundation in fact. It's rather silly to treat something that's so rare that even people with AIDS and HIV don't get! Sure, these poor souls are infected with candidia, but none are "invaded" in the intestines, except a rare few at the terminal stages of AIDS. Why, then, would so many women be at risk for something that the most immuno-suppressed people on the planet are not at risk? If just one scientific evidence had been cited, this nostrum might have some interest. But building a hypothesis on anecdotal herbal-craft, sending women who have serious illnesses in the wrong direction, borders on malpractice. So don't waste your money, much more importantly your time, on a hypothesis made of spun honey, written for no other ostensible purpose than to lear women into a false secuity about a disorder that doesn't exist.
Rating: Summary: Read me after reading all the negative reviews Review: [this] book was ok, and I read [the authors'] first book. [The authors are] right on with diet and what to eat and what not to eat but perscritive drugs is not the answer. They only sugar coat the problem. Have to remove with a good candida program and lots of cultures that are natural. Why won't...doctors get back to basic and start giving advice the natural way and don't chemical drugs that damage other organs like your liver and kidneys.
