''This cookbook looks at the reasons why people are prone to candida albicans and offers an action plan to prevent the often recurring problem. Erica White looks at ''friendly'' bacteria that every healthy digestive system needs and also at the over-production of bacteria which leads to digestive disorders such as candida. Looking at diet, Erica White identifies the food factors that help candida thrive and those that reduce yeast, developing a 4-point plan to starve the yeast by diet, boost the immune system with a programme of vitamins and minerals, anti-fungal supplements and the introduction of supplements which introduce ''friendly'' bacteria to the intestines.''
