Topics include how to counteract the fungal infection, Candidiasis (commonly referred to as Candida), in addition to providing a healthy, seven-day menu (along with recipes), and a three-step nutritional program that the author swears by, which includes tips such as eating plenty of apples and drinking a minimum of 65 to 80 ounces of filtered water a day. . . . [T]he book is easy to read and well organized.
