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!

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.

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.

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!

I cannot recommend this book enough. It's like having your own advisor at your disposal at all times. If you've suffered from Candida and haven't been able to get a grip on it, then this book has come to save you! In addition to discussing the Yeast topic in great detail and in the most simple terms, it also contains the most luscious recipes. Don't think twice about buying this book. I've purchased numerous books on Candida, and this one, by far is the best. This book will give you hope for a healthier future! Good Luck!

The recipes in this book are tasty but the number of servings varies crazily--some recipes serve 2, some serve 8-10. Right next to each other! This happens all through the book, and it's the only thing I don't like about it. It's easy to multiply up to double a recipe but hard to divide it. I wish the authors would have made little recipes, as a diet like this will often just be for little ol' you and not a whole party of people. Otherwise an excellent book.

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.

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.

This book has a lot of great information about Candida in it but don't buy it for the recipes - as a busy person I found a lot of the cooking processes time consuming, the ingredients hard to find, and the dishes pretty bland. If you have a lot of time to go shopping, soak beans for 8 hours, cook things twice to kill "bacteria" get this book!
