The Candida Cure

Book excerpt: The cult-classic book, revised and updated with a quick start cleanse, easy recipes, and more. Foreword by David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain. Many of the most common symptoms and illnesses that plague us today—anything from fatigue, bloating, and weight gain to arthritis, allergies, depression, prostate problems and multiple sclerosis—can be traced back to a surprising source: Yeast. Yeast and fungal overgrowth—called candida—affects millions and is a hidden cause of many health conditions. One out of three people suffer from candida overgrowth, which is also associated with asthma, hypoglycemia/diabetes, hypothyroid, brain fog and anxiety/depression. In a chronic state, yeast overgrowth can also lead to conditions such as lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, autism, and even cancer. The Candida Cure, newly revised, is the most current and concise book on this subject. Ann Boroch, certified nutritional consultant, naturopath, and author of Healing Multiple Sclerosis, shares her proven ninety-day program to beat candida and restore your health and energy. She reveals how the body can quickly get out of balance as a result of high stress levels, poor diet, antibiotic and steroid use, hormone replacement therapy, and chemotherapy. This simple and effective guide provides user-friendly information and practical tools to bring your body back into balance: A candida questionnaire Common yeast-related health conditions Candida symptoms as they specifically pertain to men, women, and children Step-by-step ninety-day program to beat candida Delicious recipes and recommended foods Two weeks of sample menus Recommended supplement schedules. “A fascinating guide for anyone seeking health and vitality.” —Gabrielle Bernstein, New York Times–bestselling author of May Cause Miracles
