Finally!

Customer Rating:
Finally someone has figured out that depression, fatigue, lack of motivation, confusion, headaches, yeast infections, PMS, cramps, and everything else that ails ya can be attributed to this biological event. I was so tired of being misdiagnosed. I went into a doctor's office looking for nutritional information 4 years ago, and all I got was a diagnosis of anxiety and a prescription for prozac. It took me two years to get rid of its side effects. I only took it for 5 months before I decided it was very wrong for me to be taking this drug as I realized that my problem wasn't starting in my brain chemicals as is the latest theory.
The body fuels the mind, so I started paying attention, about 3 years ago, to the way my body reacted to soda pop. Since then I have changed my sugar intake and thus eliminated my depression, aches and pains, headaches, colds and flu, lost weight, gained energy and motivation...everything is different for the first time in my life. The first time!
I was searching for a way to explain my recently frequent yeast infections and stumbled upon this book at a local drug store. I have had them since I started menstruating, and thus started experiencing fluctuating hormones. This book shows a lot about how my lower-middle class American diet of processed foods has certainly attributed to the problem as well! At 35 I am healthier than I have ever been and going through stage 1 to get my balance in check, so that I can control the infections, eliminate the candida growth, then progress through stages 2,3 to bring my diet and biology back into harmony.
I am so excited about finallly finding a "cure". So far, the only difficulty here in the Midwest is finding the stage 1 foods in my city (pop. 300,000). The nearest organic/health food store that carries antibiotic, and growth hormone-free meat is about 35 minutes away. And I spent 3 hours with this book in hand at the main grocery chain trying to find sugar and yeast-free foods. It is everywhere in everything! I am not surprised at America's obesity problem anymore now that I am an avid label reader. especially since eating healthy is 2 to 3 times more costly!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is intuitive and perceptive about their bodies' behaviors, and for those who are tired of being told that it's all in their heads. Chemically imbalanced yes, but not in the brain.
The real imbalance(and injustice) is the way we have been forced to eat and live in this country. While I got a fatter waistline, those who process the crappy food I ate got fatter wallets. So did the pharmaceutical companies, the "specialists", the "doctors", the clothing companies where I had to keep buying clothes that fit, the cold drug manufacturers, and everyone else who made money from my illnesses. This book is freedom and control in your life if candida is your problem. Buy one, buy many, and share them with everyone you know.

Comprehensive and very well put together.

I've read many books on this subject. The best thing about this book is that it gives you hope. 3 stages to this diet and easily explained with common sense and science. The recipes are easy and wonderful. There are appropriate lists of foods that help you see how to plan. This is not a "fad book" but brilliantly put together by women who know the subject and have lived the misery. There is simply not one negative I could say about this. It is the only book I've seen that gives a person a complete understanding of what is going on within the body, the consequences, and a way out that leaves you with a positive outlook. Gone are the absolutes of a bland menu. The ideas are new and undated. Everyone has their own version of things, as is said, but this is a plan that is possible to follow and also enjoy at the same time. Not kidding. The recipes are good enough for someone not suffering the condition also. Good for guys too. We can get this imbalance also. You can't lose.
