Candida Albicans: Could Yeast Be Your Problem?

by Leon Chaitow

This non-drug approach to the treatment of Candida infection shows how to detect the effects of Candida albicans, and provides a comprehensive, drug-free program for its control. A yeast that exists in all of us, Candida albicans normally presents no problems. But today's widespread use of antibiotics, contraceptive pills, steroids, and sugar-rich diets can cause this parasitic organism to proliferate. Its spread often can be the root cause of a wide variety of depression, anxiety, irritability, allergies, migraine, fatigue, acne, menstrual problems, heartburn, and diarrhea.

Reviews

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.

[Paul Dabrowa]

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.

Excellent book!

A little dated. Better books out there about yeast.
