This petard hoisted on those desparately seeking an answer should be tossed in with all the other “self-help” suppositions that have no foundation in fact. It’s rather silly to treat something that’s so rare that even people with AIDS and HIV don’t get! Sure, these poor souls are infected with candidia, but none are “invaded” in the intestines, except a rare few at the terminal stages of AIDS. Why, then, would so many women be at risk for something that the most immuno-suppressed people on the planet are not at risk? If just one scientific evidence had been cited, this nostrum might have some interest. But building a hypothesis on anecdotal herbal-craft, sending women who have serious illnesses in the wrong direction, borders on malpractice. So don’t waste your money, much more importantly your time, on a hypothesis made of spun honey, written for no other ostensible purpose than to lear women into a false secuity about a disorder that doesn’t exist.

[this] book was ok, and I read [the authors'] first book. [The authors are] right on with diet and what to eat and what not to eat but perscritive drugs is not the answer. They only sugar coat the problem. Have to remove with a good candida program and lots of cultures that are natural. Why won’t…doctors get back to basic and start giving advice the natural way and don’t chemical drugs that damage other organs like your liver and kidneys.

I picked up this book hoping it would be a clear, concise view of how yeast can interfere with the body. What I found instead was an author so unsure of his own work, that he spent the whole book citing others information and neglecting to convey the actual information I was looking for! And to top it off, his “expert information” often didn’t relate to yeast at all! I started the book with the assumption he was right-on (or I wouldn’t have bought it) but ended up feeling more confused and angered at the huge waste of time this book was! His ideas were presented poorly, if at all. Information on diet was the best part of the book, but I’ve read a ton of other books that explain the same exact views better. Definately not worth the time.

quality of life and medical care.
This book has really been a turning point in my own health trials and trevails and I applaud Dr. Crook and his confederates for persisting despite the typical reaction of the public in rejecting that which is not add water and mix. And yet, this is as simple as that in many ways.
I also enjoyed Proof Positive and really think that if Dr. Nedley could explore the yeast connection he would really have a very well rounded book because Dr. Crook has not ignored the very real and pervasive danger of chemicals and their deleterious effect on us humans and it’s correlation to yeast problems.
Highly recommended reading for the intelligent and open minded.

This book is good if you know nothing about Candidiasis. It really lays out the basics. What I really liked was the last section that describes the phases of the yeast diet. That was the most informative for me. Other than that I thought that each section on each disease or condition related to yeast was repetitive and redundant. Still very good info for someone who is “new” to these facts.
