Synopsis

Candida is a type of yeast that grows in the human body. An overgrowth of candida has been found to be at the root of many health problems, from chronic fatigue and digestive disorders to skin conditions and allergies. Some health professionals are calling it a hidden epidemic. One of the main instigators of candida overgrowth is sugar, of which the average American consumes more than seventy pounds per year.

In Living Candida-Free, Ricki Heller (with functional nutritionist Andrea Nakayama) offers a complete exploration of this condition and an expansive approach for anyone wishing to follow an anti-candida diet. A comprehensive guidebook for living a life free of refined sugar, it includes a three-stage program; tips on how to transition to eating the anti-candida way with ease; information on herbal supplements and treatments; a full list of substitutions; and delicious, satisfying recipes that anyone can prepare.

Review:

"Savvy Vegetarian, 1/24/15
"I recommend Living Candida Free for everybody, healthy or not, vegan or not. If you don't have candida, this book will keep you from ever getting it. If you have just a bit of candida, it will help you restore balance and avoid a lot of misery. If you do have full on candida, this book, Living Candida Free, could help save your life."

Vegan Culinary Crusade, 2/2/15"Ricki's talent for recipe development is astounding. She works within all of the parameters necessary to live candida-free yet offers a delicious array of recipes for every stage of the ACD [anti-candida diet] plan . . . . this book is patient and honest and full of answers. It is everything you need when you want to stop suffering but know it is a journey to get to health."
