At every crossway on the road that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is
opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past.

Despite Candida albicans’ thirty-year history as a well-defined and well-
described clinical entity, the concept that a diverse range of seemingly
disparate symptoms could be attributed to systemic overgrowth of this yeast
species remains foreign to most medical practitioners. The unfortunate
consequence of this naiveté is that countless sufferers of this malady, mostly
women, know nothing about the medical and lifestyle interventions that can pave
the way to their recovery.
The relative obscurity of this disease in mainstream medicine is not the only
problem. Many of the time-honored practices of today’s healthcare paradigm,
including the excessive use of antibiotics and steroid medications—as well as
the neglect of such simple practices as the use of probiotic beneficial bacteria—
are actually setting the stage for the development of systemic candidiasis. As a
result, those of us who deal with this health condition in the clinical setting are
witnessing what now seems almost epidemic.
In the pages that follow, Ann Boroch provides the reader with a
comprehensive understanding of this disease and its relevance to our health. Her
firsthand personal experience coupled with extensive and exhaustive research
has produced a text that will surely stand as a fundamental resource in the
emerging story of candida as the hidden cause of many illnesses.
While The Candida Cure deftly weaves compelling text describing the
magnitude of the problem, its causes and cures, the offering that shines most
from its pages is summarized in one word—hope. For it is hope that is drained
from the countless undiagnosed and inappropriately treated candida patients who
stumble helplessly from doctor to doctor. And it is hope restored that is the
highest merit of this book.

Candida. Why write a book about a subject that most people don’t know
about? Because my personal journey of beating candida at age nineteen and
then conquering multiple sclerosis (MS)—a disease related to candida— at
thirty taught me how millions are suffering from this condition yet are in the
dark as to why they feel so bad.
From as far back as I can remember, I was sick. I had many colds, flus, and
sinus and ear infections. Throughout my life I was prescribed over a hundred
courses of antibiotics for many different ailments. My diet until the age of
eighteen consisted of processed foods filled with sugar, white flour, and trans
fats. By the time I was thirteen, I had fifteen silver amalgam fillings from all the
sugar I had eaten.
At nineteen, my body said no more and it collapsed from the Epstein-Barr
virus, known as mononucleosis. Unfortunately, a few months of bed rest didn’t
turn my health around. After seeing eight different specialists, taking over thirty
prescribed medications, and searching many months for answers on how to get
well, I was still sick from head to toe.
Serendipitously, as I was hunting for answers in a bookstore one day, Dr.
William Crook’s book The Yeast Connection caught my eye. I scanned through
the pages and went right to the questionnaire. I began to cry as I read the list of
all of my symptoms—disoriented, poor memory, exhausted, upper respiratory
infections, gastrointestinal complaints, weight loss, depression, etc. “Could this
book be the answer?” I thought to myself. “Is yeast overgrowth—candida—the
root of what is wrong with me?”
I decided to take the plunge and follow Dr. Crook’s program, which
consisted of following a candida diet (no refined sugars, dairy, white flour, or
alcohol) and taking an antifungal remedy called Nilstat. One long year later, I
regained my health. In that one year, I discovered so much about how diet plays
a critical role in getting rid of infection and inflammation, the root of disease.
Unfortunately, I did not know that I needed to maintain those healthy habits,
and at twenty-four my life came to a grand halt when I was knocked flat with the
diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. The doctor said, “Well, the great news is that you
don’t have cancer; the bad news is that you have multiple sclerosis. We have
chemotherapy to experiment with.” Terrified and shocked, I looked at my
