The Yeast Connection by Dr Crook, Multiple Sclerosis by Judy Graham and The Candida Cure by Ann Boroch/foreward by Dr Perlmutter. These three books lead me to my interest in the similarities in my MS journey and all things they speak on in book. Did you know that YEAST is not just yeast infections and fungus on toenails? Yeast overgrowth is tied to ear and sinus problems, upper respiratory infections, PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, acne, anxiety, autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, lupis, autism, cancer and mental illnesses.. list goes on. YEAST is not talked about because western medicine continues to quietly ignore the connection between yeast overgrowth & overuse of prescription drugs, especially antibiotics and steroids, and other common offenders like diet and the air we breath. Fungus burrows its roots in the intestinal lining and creates leaky gut.. porous openings in the gut lining..which allows the fungus and byproducts to escape into our blood stream.
