1.0 out of 5 stars A 600+ page advertisement for other books, October 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yeast Connection and the Woman (Paperback)

I was extremely disappointed in this book! I bought it because it was the most up-to-date of the Crook books, and was hoping for serious, factual discussions and step-by-step instructions on how to deal with yeast related problems. Instead, I find hundreds of excerpts from letters to the doctor (nice, but tiresome after a while), and broad overviews on important topics with references to other books. Getting to the most (in my opinion) important topic - modifying your diet - there is ONE PARAGRAPH about the initial diet and something like 'in general, you want to eliminate all sugar, yeast, etc...' OK, but how about IN SPECIFIC? This problem was repeated throughout the book - just when you think you're going to get some valuable, specific information, it says 'as discussed in The Yeast Connection,' or 'as discussed in The Yeast Connection Handbook.' I don't want/need an ad for THOSE books, I would like the information in this one!

This review is from: The Yeast Connection and Women's Health (Paperback)

I agree, to a point, with the reviewers who didn't find this book to have all the answers, BUT like another reviewer pointed out, this should be just one of the books in your library. I have suffered from candida for more than 20 years. If the reviewer who claimed that candida was invented by the author had suffered from it, then (s)he would know that it is very real and can be, for some people, debilitating. I suggest you check this book out of the library before you buy it. If you are well versed in this disease, then you might not want to buy it... but if you are just starting your research, you'll find a lot of answers in here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read me after reading all the negative reviews, December 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yeast Connection and the Woman (Paperback)

This book helped me as I am sure that it has helped others. Other reviewers stated that they couldnt find the info that they were looking for or that he advertised other books. You must look closely into this book and you will find your answers. Most people read and get upset when there are not pictures to follow but if you are truly sick you will comb every page looking and finding the answers. He talks about other books and gives other doctors insights because he is trying to give resources to the reader and this sickness is not readily accepted by doctors and he asks you to give a copy to your doctor. He writes from the possible understanding that he must help another doctor see the way to help the better good of patients all over the world. This book is written to patients and doctors. Reviewers look a little closer.
