Format: Paperback
I found out about this book through a raw blog. A guy described his battle with candidiasis. I didn't realize that guys could get it and I never realized that candidiasis manifested itself in a spectrum of ways that I suffered from. I purchased this book and spend about 2 weeks reading, studying, and highlighting the book. I started the diet last Monday and I have to admit that the book has become my bible just because it's been a huge change for me that I continually have to refer back to the book. I photocopied a couple pages of the book to carry around with me and use as a reference when I'm out and I have to figure out what I can eat.

I used to be on the raw food diet, ate organic and healthy and I was still experiencing a low immune system, breaking out, and a chronic yeast infection that I've had for over 5 years. I've tried treating the yeast infection with antibiotics, a watered down hydrogen peroxide douche, and boric acid suppositories. None of the treatments stuck. My yeast infection returned with in a day or two of stopping the treatment. If I ever had more than one day a week of an early work day, I came down with a sore throat.

I'm so ecstatic to report that this diet has cured me of my yeast infection. I can't believe it.

It was difficult for me to return to cooked foods because I loved the principles of the raw food diet, but being cured of the yeast infection has made me a believer. Obviously my body wasn't receiving the nourishment it needed to heal itself.

I gave this 4 stars only because the book is a constant advertisement for her products. I realize that a person needs to make a living, but I felt like it was a little overkill.

I agree with what some of the other folks who did not give this book a 5-star rating had to say; HOWEVER, the principles at the heart of this book are priceless for us all. YES, the book is not very well thought out, it's structure leaves much to be desired, the graphic of the eating plan is a disgrace, there are a lot of details that simply are not there and the author does leave you with a lot of questions ... BUT, the idea of the good bacteria vs. bad bacteria that lives in our gut is right on and I guarantee you can be free of a plethora of different symptoms should you choose to follow the few simple principles in this book. Now, as far as the author constantly pitching her products goes (and boy does she) you need to look past that; think of it as her just helping you along with a one-stop shopping site to get you started eating this way ... hey, a girl has to make a buck - let's not hold this against her. I started out ordering some of her products at the get-go because I was so excited about the diet that I wanted to start a.s.a.p. but later on you can shop around and find similar products elsewhere if that makes you feel any better. Although, the products from her site are good quality and there isn't anything wrong with them, so really ... it's not that big a deal that she pitches them as much as she does.

Originally I was drawn to this book because I had experienced various digestive issues for a really long time which had completely disrupted my life, but what I was really noticing was how many of my middle-age girlfriends were experiencing the very same issues - I'm 48 by the way. I just knew there had to be something causing this and I was beginning to suspect the pathetic agri-business that is responsible for feeding this industrialized nation but that's another book.

While I fully agree with Donna Gates' basic premise that candida overgrowth can only be overcome by restoring the body's internal ecosystem (i.e., microbiome), I found this book to be nearly unreadable and abysmally referenced. Gates uses a lot of pseudoscientific ideas and a dearth of peer-reviewed work to support her claims (the bibliography contains nary a scientific paper). There is now a very strong body of scientific evidence on the role of the gut microbiome in regulating immunity, mental health, hormones, and general wellbeing, but absolutely nothing to indicate that food combining, colon hydrotherapy, acid/alkaline diets, blood type diets, and the like have any significant effect on human health. I suspect that people who do improve on the BED, as I am sure many do, do so primarily because they are avoiding junk and processed food, eliminating gluten grains, restoring their gut flora, and avoiding sugars, not because they are combining food in certain ways or eating according to their blood type.

I also strongly disagree with Ms. Gates regarding the use of kefir grains v. a starter culture to make cultured milk or coconut water. She claims that using a stater culture (which is sold on the BED website) is a far superior method because "you cannot be certain that the correct microflora are there [in the wild grains]." That may be true in the case of neglected grains, but wild grains contain a vastly greater number of microorganisms than starter cultures, all fused into a single, amazing symbiotic organism. No one has ever been able to replicate the diversity found in a kefir grain, not in a lab or a factory.
