Candida albicans is a yeast that exists inside all of us. Normally it presents no problems, but today's widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, contraceptive pills, and steroids, as well as a sugar-rich diet, can cause a proliferation of this parasitic yeast. This can often be the root cause of a wide variety of problems such as depression, anxiety, irritability, bloatedness, heartburn, tiredness, allergies, acne, migraine, cystitis, and menstrual problems. Leon Chaitow, using the latest research and his own clinical experience, shows how to determine if yeast is your problem and provides a comprehensive, non-drug program for its control.

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.
