The Yeast Connection and Women's Health
Yeast-related problems ranging from PMS to endometriosis trouble millions of American women. But fatigue, headache, depression, and digestive and skin disorders have also been linked to an overgrowth of yeast.

reviewed in retrospect July 2009:
I had a health scare in 2007. It was horrible. My body was constantly in pain. I had been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (cystitis means a bladder infection, but interstitial cystitis means that there is no infection present, jst all the pain and symmptoms.)

Excellent, highly informative and readable guide to dealing with systemic yeast infections. One of the author's virtues is his flexible attitude and his repeated statements that the condition and treatment vary from person to person--something many doctors deny or ignore about diseases.
I also liked this more in depth book by William Crook. This one delves into the woman's body specifically in its relationship with this awful fungus called candida. As I have had much pain and symptoms that relate to my hormonal cycle, the book helped me to connect all that is going on in my body together.
Great book. Very helpful.
