Customer Reviews

best candida book ever!

I, too, am someone whose life was changed for the better with this book. It is thorough, comprehensive, well-organized, with both the Western approach and nutritional/herbal/homeopathic remedies. The recipes are fabulous. As many people have mentioned (and as the authors point out with infectious zeal in their book), even those without dietary restrictions will enjoy! Absolutely recommended. This book is one of the best investments in your good health you can make.

finally, something for vegetarians

Having suffered from candida symptoms for years and knowing intellectually that I should change my diet(emotionally finding it hard), I started trying to educate myself by buying books. All the other books made me feel a little hopeless and isolated. Not eating meat cut down my choices of allowed foods. I'd get desperate and reach for the potato chips and candy bars again. This book is sooo wonderful. I'm excited about trying all the recipes--vegetarian recipes!-and taking the restaurant suggestions to heart so I can go out and eat with my friends. Also ,Miss Martin and Dr. Rona have the most comprehensive overview of natural anti-candida fighting actions I've seen. I don't feel hopeless anymore. Thanks for this wonderful book!

A comprehensive, easy-to-follow, complete resource

I searched through several publications on Candida, both online and printed materials, and nothing compares to the extraordinary, invaluable information packed into this book. I wanted something that contained the following: Explained what Candida is; Possible causes; Symptoms of Candida and closely related health problems; How to treat it naturally as well as through traditional medicine; Candida diet recipes.A Candida diet was always difficult to find since many sources contradicted one another and/or contained food sensitivities while offering no alternatives. This book explains these contradictions, offers plenty of food alternatives, and guides you through the phases of your healing process. Best of all, the RECIPES TASTE SPECTACULAR! I was amazed at how delicious everything has been thus far, not to mention easy to prepare. Each dish has loads of flavor, making this diet seem not like a diet at all.This book truly is a gift for someone who needs a complete, informative reference with a wealth of wonderful recipes to get them on track to recovering from Candida. Highly recommended!

Delicious recipies with great results.

The recipes in this book are yummy, my husband agrees. Medication alone wouldn't clear my yeast infection, now with the help of Martin's diet I have no symptoms. I followed it without cheating and will continue with her less restrictive diet indefinately because it I feel so much better and because it tastes so good. She has saved me an expensive visit to the nutritionist.

From heaven!

This book saved my life. I found it better than any of the other books out there, as the approach considers natural cures--not like other books which only discuss taking human made drugs to cure yourself. This teaches you how to prevent candida and disease happening to you for your lifespan. It is informative and covers the full ambit of issues necessary to treat yourself. It has wonderful food contact information, as well as a resource reference guide for other books that pertain to all she's discussed (unlike other books which want you to think they're the definitive answer). The recipes take a lot of time to prepare, but it's worth it. In any other country you would not get this complaint. It is a lifestyle overhaul that many Americans would find intimidating. Beyond candida, the basic information in this book has revolutionized my life. Luckily, I love cooking and keeping good health!
