By Leon Chaitow
Today’s all-too-common sugar-rich diet, along with the widespread use of antibiotics, antacids, contraceptive pills, and steroids, can lead to a proliferation of the parasitic yeast Candida albicans within the body. Using the latest research and his decades of clinical experience, Dr. Leon Chaitow explains how to recognize if yeast is your problem and offers a 10-point program for getting it back under control. He reveals how Candida overgrowth occurs and its connection to many common health problems. He explores how to control Candida naturally with enzymes and herbs as well as detailing a sugar-eliminating anti-Candida diet to “starve” existing yeast overgrowth in the body. He explains the importance of probiotics and bitters and how antibiotics and inflammation disturb the balance of normal “friendly” intestinal bacteria, allowing Candida to colonize the gut. I would highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from or looking to prevent Candida overgrowth.
