This quick and easy to read book introduced me to a new home remedy for yeast infections that, up until I read this, I had never heard of.  But after attempting it as a treatment for the first time, I regret that I went all these years without knowing about it!This book is about treating Candida/Candiasis/Candida albicans - more commonly known to you and me as a yeast infection.  Every single one of us has Candida, but problems arise and require treatment when an overgrowth of Candida occurs.  Aside from just being downright annoying, Candida can make you feel fatigued, and just plain sick.  What this book offers the reader is a five step plan for treating and ideally curing Candida.Firstly, the book helps you figure out what predisposes you specifically to a Candida overgrowth.  Tips are offered to the reader to boost your immune system, how to detox and get rid of the yeast infection, follow a specific diet for this ailment, and then maintaining a supplement program at the end.  If you follow these steps, then you will have as much success as I did.  Something I found particularly interesting is that the main cause of Candidiasis is the use of antibiotics.  So supplementing with probiotics and things of that nature help to assist in treating and curing the infection.  The book lists out what foods you should try to avoid if you want to also avoid a yeast infection, the role of alcohol in Candidiasis, and lists out some environmental factors as well.  You are taught the symptoms in detail so that you can effectively diagnose yourself if necessary, and there is even a detailed and comprehensive questionnaire to determine the likelihood of you having a yeast infection or related condition.The five step treatment plan is really quite comprehensive, and attacks the infection from all angles.  Following this all but guarantees that you will cure this in a timely fashion, like I did.  Rounding off the book are some general lifestyle tips that put you at a lesser risk of candidiasis.  After reading this, I looked around to see if there were any other resource that might offer more information, and this book is without a doubt the only one you need if you want to learn more about Candida, have the infection yourself, or want to serve as a resource for someone that you know that is affected by it.  Definitely a value, I highly recommend it.
