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!

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!

after 5years of misdiagnosis (after rounds of harsh antibiotics) this book helped me to get healthy again.
after about 3 months following the strictest diet - every symptom gone, my quality of life returned!!!
that was in 1996.
i recently looked on amazon to re-purchase this book because i had given my away to a friend a few years ago, and i wanted to go back on the maintenance diet.
i can't thank the authors enough for writing this book.
thank you!!
:)

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!

We purchased 3 books related to Candida from Amazon. This one stands way above the other two. It doesn't just preach, it explains why to do or not to do something. My wife and I have been on a Candida cleanse for 2 weeks (she has it, I'm doing it to support her). The food is pretty good. It does take more time to prepare the meals but the results will be worth it (lost 12 pounds in 1 week!). Miss some things (like coffee and wine) but will stick it out for 4 weeks. Wish us luck.

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.

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.

I particularly liked the section written by Dr. Rona. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the author had quite as scientific approach as I would prefer. I also found almost all the recipies to have more ingredients and steps than I am willing to use. It was, however, quite comprehensive and easy to follow. I will say that the author does know about foods and had information that was totally new to me. For example, she did not recommended storing onions and garlice in the refridgerator. My total assessment is that this is a good book but I would not use it as my only resource on the subject.

This is the best book on candida I have seen on the market. When I learned that I had candida I read what seemed to be every book on the subject and this one is by far the best. It has everything that you need to know on cause and treatment. The recipes are great, enjoyable and easy. I can't say enough about this book, it made my life much easier.

Zoltan Rona, the co-author of this book, has written online some excellent articles on Candida. However, this book is not much more than a grocery list of supplements and a reiteration of diet hints that is fairly common knowledge. For me, there was not any new or interesting information. The book may proove useful as a first time read for someone who has no prior knowledge of Candida Albicans or what to do about it.
