Finally found what I was looking for!

Due to constant poor health with no cause that any doctor could find, this book was recomended by a family friend when I was 15. Most unfortunately, I did not open it until I was 20. As I looked through it,I was amazed to find the answer I have been looking for for years. Yeast is more than an infection "down there," it can affect your whole life, causing fatigue, depression, weak immune system, irritability and more. This book gives examples of personal experience, which I could finally relate to. It explains how yeast can effect you, why it is there, and what you can do about it- which can be as easy as changing your diet in some cases. This was my saving grace! I took the book to my doctor and had to tell her what was wrong with me, since they never thought to look at yeast. After some testing, it was determined that this was indeed my problem, and now I am doing much better. If you think this may be your problem, read this! It could improve your life tremendously.

Where is the tallest mountain?

This book has enlightened me so much that I wish I could go to the top of the tallest mountain and shout for everyone to hear. After being told that my problems are all in my head I was fed up with the whole medical community. Finding this book has allowed me to realize that that is true, but not in the way it was originally implied. Having a Candida problem has caused my migraines, sinus problems and general malaise for so many years that I began to believe I was doomed to a life of misery. I am now, with Dr. Crook's help, beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. So many things have been explained that it really does seem like this book was written for me, however it is also comforting to know that I am not the only one out there feeling like I do. Unfortunately it means giving up chocolate, but that is a small price to pay for relief. This book is the life-saver I needed to know that I would not have to spend the rest of my life in torment. I now have a reason to smile and I am sure others will too.

A must read for anybody raised on antibiotics

This book provided me the most insight into what actually has been happening in my body. This book was recommended to me by a friend and has been a godsend. It explains how a person with Candida can use food as a tool to achieve health. Before reading this book, I did not understand how my eating habits were keeping my body in a state of illness. This book also explains why children who grew up being given anitbiotics for everything are more at risk for candida. I never thought I would find the topic of bowel flora and intestinal function interesting, but this book put the medical concepts within my grasp.

Excellent

The information in this book changed my life. The 'Tradional Doctors' have no knowledge of Candida, I could not find out what was wrong with me until I read the book. This book was an answer to prayer. Thank You Dr. Crook
