Candida Albicans. Could yeast be your problem?
Thorsons, 1991

This little book offers a comprehensive and non-drug programme for the control of candida. This is the book, to read, when you have found out that you have candida, and start on your quest for more knowledge. The book contains a lot of explanations about the supplements and some case histories. This is not a "first book", newcomers who suspect they have candida may be put off by too much detailed information.
