Millions of people of all ages and both sexes are troubled by yeast-connected disorders. Complaints range from fatigue, headache and depression in adults to ear problems, hyperactivity, attention deficits and autism in children.

Many other chronic health problems are also related to the common yeast Candida albicans. These include:

• PMS
• Sexual dysfunction
• Asthma
• Psoriasis
• Digestive and urinary problems
• Multiple sclerosis
• Muscle pain

If you:

• crave sweets
• feel sick all over
• have taken many antibiotics
• have seen many physicians and have not found help

your health problems are probably yeast connected. 

A comment by Dr. James Brodsky, M.D. regarding Dr. Crook's most recent book, The Yeast Connection Handbook.

"An extraordinary handbook and resource guide for individuals with yeast-related illness. With remarkable simplicity Dr. Crook gives us an approach to many health problems over-looked by conventional medicine. It should be read by every person who is not well and unable to find help." 

James H. Brodsky, M.D., Chevy Chase, Maryland Diplomate, American Board of Internal Medicine Clinical Instructor Georgetown University Medical Center

Suggestions for Further Reading

If you'd like even more information, especially if you're a woman, you'll find it in my 750-page book, The Yeast Connection and the Woman. Here are the comments of Philip K. Nelson, M.D., Fellow, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists:

"This book is well organized and written - immensely readable. In areas of my expertise (gynecology, hormone therapy, chronic fatigue syndrome), I've found the material to be up- to-the-minute, factual and practical.

"This book will be useful to any reader. Yes, it is a book about women's issues, but so much more. It is for every member of the family. It's like a health encyclopedia."

For more information about what foods you can eat and how to prepare them, you'll find it in The Yeast Connection Cookbook which includes over 200 recipes. Here's an excerpt from the introduction by my co-author, Marjorie Hurt Jones, R.N..

"I've emphasized tasty vegetables of all sorts which will make your diet more enjoyable and less apt to cause allergies. . . I can't deny that cooking takes time, I can only suggest that, if you really want to enjoy better health, planning and preparing nutritious meals is the place to start."
