Healing Chronic Candida


Book Description

Chronic candida is an invisible epidemic in our society today that is lacking a complete and effective health care regimen. Millions of people are suffering unwittingly with this condition as it may be an underlying contributor to numerous gastrointestinal disturbances, mental health conditions, neurological disorders, impaired cognitive or learning functions, antisocial behavior and conduct disorders, autoimmunity, addiction, inflammation, genitourinary, metabolic and endocrine system disorders, and much more. Holistic health counselor Cynthia Perkins has diligently researched the topic for nearly three decades and presents her findings in this groundbreaking book. Healing Chronic Candida is your definitive guide to combating yeast overgrowth and its associated conditions. As the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on the subject at this time, it tackles critical issues that are often overlooked in the literature and treatment itself that can undermine healing like mutation and resistance, biofilms, co-infection with other microbes like SIBO, excess sympathetic nervous system activity, adrenal fatigue, sugar and carb addiction, contraindications with nutritional supplements or antifungals and other complications like excess histamine and glutamate. Supported by hundreds of scientific studies Healing Chronic Candida will help you understand the magnitude and complexity of the problem, identify common yeast related conditions and develop a self-care protocol that optimizes your healing. It dispels the common myths and misinformation that abound around this topic and empowers the individual by arming them with the cutting-edge knowledge needed to take control of their own healing journey. Integrative Psychiatrist, Dr. James Greenblatt, writes in the foreword that "Healing Chronic Candida is the most innovative, inclusive treatment model for candida I have encountered."




Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis


Book Description

Incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis has been increasing over the years. The understanding of its pathophysiology has improved with newer serological tests and diagnostic methods helping in earlier diagnosis and reducing patient morbidity. It was believed earlier that invasive fungal sinusitis is seen only in immune compromised patients but clinical reports suggest otherwise. More anti-fungal drugs are being added to improve incidence of patient survival. This book aims to compile all practical information about invasive fungal sinusitis into a single volume. Therefore, busy clinicians would not have to perform exhaustive literature studies to diagnose invasive fungal sinusitis. The book aims to provide an overview of diseases which could be mistaken for invasive fungal sinusitis and discuss how the management is different. Book sections consist of clinical, microbiological, serological, pathological, radiological and pharmacological features of the disease and its management. Each section is important in today’s context as it dynamically alters the management of the patient. Early clinical suspicion and rapid microbiological, pathological and radiological diagnosis with aggressive treatment with surgical debridement and medical therapy leads to favorable outcomes.
