From Dr. William G. Crook, a pioneer in the
practice of preventing and treating disease through diet, comes
Yeast Connection Success Stories, a compendium of forty
testimonials from men, women, teens, and children. Each story recounts
an individual’s struggle with yeast-related health problems, including
their often-baffling symptoms, as well as their eventual return
to health as the result of dietary changes and appropriate medical
treatment. Following these stories, ten physicians share their own
experiences treating patients with yeast-related disorders. Finally,
the author presents an important questionnaire that can help you
determine whether your own health issues may be caused by yeast.
If you or someone you love is suffering from
this common yet severely undiagnosed problem, Yeast Connection
Success Stories not only offers much-needed inspiration, but
also guides you toward the road to recovery.

Every day, millions of people complain that
they are tired. In fact, studies show that fatigue is one of the
most common problems for which people seek help from a physician.
But tests often fail to provide an explanation of chronic fatigue.
Tired--So Tired! explains why so many people experience exhaustion
and, more important, presents easy-to-follow steps for boosting
energy and regaining health.
After years of research, Dr. William G. Crook
discovered that sugar and yeast, along with other foods and chemicals
to which people can develop sensitivities, are major dietary culprits,
and can cause everything from headaches to chronic fatigue syndrome.
He also found a connection between fatigue and certain nutrient
deficiencies. With this information in mind, the doctor developed
a diet and vitamin plan that can eliminate fatigue and related symptoms.
Tired--So Tired! presents the doctor’s treatment program
as well as his research on this important subject.

Introduction: The Yeast Connection and Women’s Health
If I told you that there is a fungus trapped in your intestines that produces 180 chemical toxins that are capable of shutting down your thyroid, throwing your hormones off balance and causing you to crave sugar and alcohol--all of which would also make you put on weight-- would you believe me?
Chances are you would find all of this hard to believe. If this is true why isn’t this devastating condition and its cascade of consequences making headlines? At the same time, why isn’t every high-tech research lab in the country frantically searching for a cure? Yet this problem faced by millions of women, is kept under wraps, hidden in plain sight.
Many physicians are unaware of the extent of the problem or what to do about it. Many have even told women that their yeast-related problems are ‘‘all in your mind.’’ In reality, the yeast problem is so extensive and so devastating that we have updated this book and included a completely new section on excess weight and the yeast connection.
All of this expands on the life’s work of one extraordinary man. Dr. William Crook, ‘‘Billy’’ as his friends knew him, was an unusually kind and caring physician, exactly the type of physician you’d be delighted to find after shuffling from doctor to doctor in search of answers to your health problems. These may be problems that have plagued you perhaps for years, with no one offering you the solutions you need-- and which are available--as I said above, ‘‘hidden in plain sight.’’
Billy Crook was a humble and unassuming man. He withstood a great deal of professional ridicule and ostracism, which began in 1983 when he published TheYeast Connection, his first book on candida yeast and its potential for widespread destruction in the human body. Conventional medicine did not, and unfortunately still does not, fully understand the phenomenon of yeast overgrowth. However, doctors like Billy Crook persevered and brought hope to thousands of people desperate for answers.
In my years of conventional medical training, Iwas taught only that yeast causes vaginitis or it contributes to a life-threatening blood infection found in patients with advanced cancers or AIDS. Fortunately during my naturopathic training in the early 1980s, I learned more about yeast overgrowth. Thus, from the time I entered practice, I treated yeast in my patients, often with remarkable results.
One day in 1986, I had the honor of being a guest on a Canadian television show, along with Dr. Crook. The 90-minute program was all about yeast. Astonishingly, the station tabulated 80,000 people trying to call in, all clamoring to ask questions. Talk about an unmet need!
After that show, I made sure that the treatment of yeast played an even greater role in my medical practice. By 1991, I had treated more than 2,000 cases and had begun to call yeast overgrowth ‘‘Crook’s Candidiasis.’’
So what is this Crook’s Candidiasis? In the simplest of terms, this condition involves an overgrowth of yeast that has been stimulated by the excessive intake of sugar and the overuse of antibiotics. These two factors cause yeast to invade the GI tract and create leaky gut syndrome as well as a yeast allergy and other widespread adverse reactions. (These terms will be part of your vocabulary by the time you’ve finished this book.)
The insidious increase in yeast-related medical conditions is directly related to the advent of antibiotics some 60 years ago. I’m not saying that antibiotics are a bad thing. However, the pervasive use of antibiotics for viruses, forwhich they are completely ineffective, and in our food supply has caused a condition known as dysbiosis--an imbalance of good and bad flora in the intestines.
Billy Crook was not seeking to have a medical condition named after him, although I believe everyone should use the term‘‘Crook’s Candidiasis’’ as a tribute to his lifelong research, treatment and educational efforts on behalf of sufferers.
It was Dr. Crook’s life’s dream for this condition to be accepted by the medical community, and I’m honored to continue to carry his torch, to help this dream become a reality and to help millions of women with nowhere to turn.
Please enjoy this latest edition of The Yeast Connection and Women’s Health, including the neweye-opening section on weight problems and yeast overgrowth.
This updated book is dedicated to the memory of the remarkable Dr. Billy Crook, and to our readers who have the intelligence and perse- verance to take control of their own well-being and find the solutions they need to bring them back to vibrant health.
Reviews
