Summary: highly recommended
Review: after 5years of misdiagnosis (after rounds of harsh antibiotics) this book helped me to get healthy again.
after about 3 months following the strictest diet - every symptom gone, my quality of life returned!!!
that was in 1996.
i recently looked on amazon to re-purchase this book because i had given my away to a friend a few years ago, and i wanted to go back on the maintenance diet.
i can't thank the authors enough for writing this book.
thank you!!

Summary: Candida Diets are the True Answer to Good Health
Review: After being "sick" for over 3 years with yeast related problems (sinus, vaginal, urinary tract), my Ears, Nose, Throat doctor recommended that I go on a Candida Diet. This is the first book I bought and after following the Phase II diet for the recommended 35 days I was completely healed of all illness and I just felt GREAT! I have not had any type of sickness or infection in over 6 months. This diet is a true miracle! and the weight loss is great too!

Summary: finally, something for vegetarians
Review: Having suffered from candida symptoms for years and knowing intellectually that I should change my diet(emotionally finding it hard), I started trying to educate myself by buying books. All the other books made me feel a little hopeless and isolated. Not eating meat cut down my choices of allowed foods. I'd get desperate and reach for the potato chips and candy bars again. This book is sooo wonderful. I'm excited about trying all the recipes--vegetarian recipes!-and taking the restaurant suggestions to heart so I can go out and eat with my friends. Also ,Miss Martin and Dr. Rona have the most comprehensive overview of natural anti-candida fighting actions I've seen. I don't feel hopeless anymore. Thanks for this wonderful book!

Summary: Delicious recipies with great results.
Review: I particularly liked the section written by Dr. Rona. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the author had quite as scientific approach as I would prefer. I also found almost all the recipies to have more ingredients and steps than I am willing to use. It was, however, quite comprehensive and easy to follow. I will say that the author does know about foods and had information that was totally new to me. For example, she did not recommended storing onions and garlice in the refridgerator. My total assessment is that this is a good book but I would not use it as my only resource on the subject.

Summary: A comprehensive, easy-to-follow, complete resource
Review: I searched through several publications on Candida, both online and printed materials, and nothing compares to the extraordinary, invaluable information packed into this book. I wanted something that contained the following: Explained what Candida is; Possible causes; Symptoms of Candida and closely related health problems; How to treat it naturally as well as through traditional medicine; Candida diet recipes.A Candida diet was always difficult to find since many sources contradicted one another and/or contained food sensitivities while offering no alternatives. This book explains these contradictions, offers plenty of food alternatives, and guides you through the phases of your healing process. Best of all, the RECIPES TASTE SPECTACULAR! I was amazed at how delicious everything has been thus far, not to mention easy to prepare. Each dish has loads of flavor, making this diet seem not like a diet at all. This book truly is a gift for someone who needs a complete, informative reference with a wealth of wonderful recipes to get them on track to recovering from Candida. Highly recommended!

Summary: best candida book ever!
Review: I, too, am someone whose life was changed for the better with this book. It is thorough, comprehensive, well-organized, with both the Western approach and nutritional/herbal/homeopathic remedies. The recipes are fabulous. As many people have mentioned (and as the authors point out with infectious zeal in their book), even those without dietary restrictions will enjoy! Absolutely recommended. This book is one of the best investments in your good health you can make.

Summary: Recipes are too huge
Review: The recipes in this book are tasty but the number of servings varies crazily--some recipes serve 2, some serve 8-10. Right next to each other! This happens all through the book, and it's the only thing I don't like about it. It's easy to multiply up to double a recipe but hard to divide it. I wish the authors would have made little recipes, as a diet like this will often just be for little ol' you and not a whole party of people. Otherwise an excellent book.

Summary: Delicious recipies with great results.
Review: The recipes in this book are yummy, my husband agrees. Medication alone wouldn't clear my yeast infection, now with the help of Martin's diet I have no symptoms. I followed it without cheating and will continue with her less restrictive diet indefinately because it I feel so much better and because it tastes so good. She has saved me an expensive visit to the nutritionist.

Summary: From heaven!
Review: This book saved my life. I found it better than any of the other books out there, as the approach considers natural cures--not like other books which only discuss taking human made drugs to cure yourself. This teaches you how to prevent candida and disease happening to you for your lifespan. It is informative and covers the full ambit of issues necessary to treat yourself. It has wonderful food contact information, as well as a resource reference guide for other books that pertain to all she's discussed (unlike other books which want you to think they're the definitive answer). The recipes take a lot of time to prepare, but it's worth it. In any other country you would not get this complaint. It is a lifestyle overhaul that many Americans would find intimidating. Beyond candida, the basic information in this book has revolutionized my life. Luckily, I love cooking and keeping good health!
