Fully updated with the most up-to-date medical research, this book provides a clear, accessible and practical guide to determining whether Candida is your problem, then outlining ways to fight and prevent it. The book contains information on the full rage of complementary and orthodox treatments available, as well as an anti-Candida diet and advice on which supplements, prebiotics, probiotics and herbal extracts to take to control Candida naturally.

Reviews

[Nicola · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmmm, I preferred "The candida cure : the 90-day program to balance your gut, beat candida, and restore vibrant health / Ann Boroch. This is an approachable read and has some slightly different suggestions around natural supplements but I think I prefer the other book in terms of depth of details when it comes to supplements, schedule, and recipes.

I was surprised at how accurate the science in this book was. A decade after it was written; doctors at Harvard discovered that many of his suggestions are actually proven true scientifically in reference to how Gut Bacteria behave and influence the body.

A little dated. Better books out there about yeast.
