This book has been written and published strictly for informational purposes. In no way should it be used as a substitute for your own physicians advice.

While John Parks Trowbridge, M.D., and Morton Walker, D.P.M., are collaborating here as coauthors, Dr. Trowbridge is the physician expert on the Candida (yeast) syndrome and Dr. Walker is the medical journalist reporting on such health care information.

You should not consider educational material in this book to be the practice of medicine, although almost all the facts have come from the files, publications, and personal interviews of informed physicians who diagnose and treat candidiasis and/or their patients who have suffered from the yeast syndrome. Moreover, lecture presentations, audiotapes, case reports, anecdotes, testimonials, patient histories, and other information have been utilized from the three Yeast-Human Interaction Symposiums held in San Francisco, March 2931, 1985, in Birmingham, Alabama, December 911, 1983, and in Dallas, Texas, July 35, 1982.

If you, as a potential user of knowledge received from these pages, require opinions, diagnoses, treatments, therapeutic advice, correction of your lifestyle, or any other aid relating to your health, it is recommended that you consult either Dr. Trowbridge, the other physicians contributing to this book, or your own medical expert on the Candida syndrome. A list of such candidiasis experts is appended to this book.

These statements are to be considered disclaimers of responsibility for anything published here. The coauthors provide the information in this book with the understanding that you may act on it at your own risk and also with full knowledge that health professionals should first be consulted and that their specific advice for you should be considered before anything read here.

Writing a nonfiction book usually is a collective action involving the cooperation of many people, and this one has been no exception. First we want to acknowledge enthusiasm for the subject from our literary agents, Lois de la Haba and Luna Carne-Ross of New York City. They encouraged us to invest in The Yeast Syndrome about three thousand hours of research, actual writing time, and extra editing. Rob Fitz helped with the editing, too.

We also want to thank Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., for his superb foreword. J. J. Wetz deserves a special expression of gratitude for supplying recipes for Section Three. Adhering to our nutritional requirements, he cooked quantities of food for tasting as an adjunct to our four-phase Celebration of Healthy Eating program.
