4.0 out of 5 stars HUGE help for those suffering from intestinal yeast!, December 4, 1999

By 

groundless (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yeast Connection Handbook (Paperback)

This book is one of the most comprehensive books on intestinal yeast and its trauma I have seen to date. Just by taking some of the recommendations: acidophilus, a multi-vitamin, and severely reducing the sugar, yeast and pasta in my diet has made an incredible difference in my symptoms and the way I feel in the past month. I recommend this to anyone with intestinal yeast because the improvement, though not 100% is very drastic! I am feeling better every day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeast Connection Handbook, June 23, 2000

By 

Connie Bloss (West Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yeast Connection Handbook (Paperback)

Dr. Crook's book saved my life. Before his program I suffered from blurred vision, headaches, weight gain, low energy, dizzy spells, depression and a multitude of other ailments. Since January I have lost 30 pounds, have clear thinking, improved vision, a positive outlook on life, and boundless energy. I am ordering two more copies of this book; one for my daughter and one for my best friend Carole who is in the hospital. The book is an easy read, makes a lot of sense, easy to follow and the recipes are tasty and filling. My husband also is on the program with me. He no longer suffers from heartburn and his cholesterol has dropped over 150 points. This works and we are blessed to have Dr, Crook researching and continuing to assist others. Thank you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough on alternative treatment, September 3, 2000

By 

Helene (Quebec City, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yeast Connection Handbook (Paperback)

I was disappointed after I read the book. It is loaded with explanations on what candida intolerance is and describe in details the symptoms suffered, but there was nothing there that I did not already know by surfing the internet. I found the part on changing the diet very good. My main reason for buying the book was that I thought there would be more on alternative treatment... Yes, the book does say that you should try the probiotic, caprylic acid, echinacea, Co10Q, etc, but does not offer any type of indication as to what standardized extract should be used, what to look for in a specific product, or how much to take and when, to maximize their effectiveness. Now it's back to the internet to find out...
