There are two versions of unraveling candidiasis

UNRAVELING CANDIDIASIS: THE PERPLEXING PUZZLE OF MEDICAL MALADIES

by Marc J. Bielski, MD

Available on Amazon in paperback only (566 pages)

This version contains the most comprehensive discussions about the variety of expressions and manifestations of candidiasis with a holistic-integrative medical approach to diagnosis & treatment.

What is mainstream medicine missing? Why is the incidence and prevalence of frequent, recurrent, and chronic medical illnesses increasing? 

People are suffering with medical maladies such as allergies, asthma, cardiovascular disease, depression, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and headaches more than ever before. What is the missing piece of the health puzzle?

Rather than being an obvious infection, candidiasis is often a subclinical problem that is readily overlooked. Candidiasis is an infection involving one or more species of disease-causing yeast. Their physical presence within the body creates disturbances, directly and indirectly. In addition to their metabolites and toxins, they are also strong allergy-inducing microorganisms. Their adverse effects produce numerous medical maladies with or without the assistance of harmful parasites, bacteria, molds, and/or viruses. Other factors, like environmental toxins, also contribute to the disarray.

This book has four parts. Part 1 contains general information for practitioners and patients. Part 2 discusses the various candidiasis connections within the body. Part 3 explains how candidiasis impairs the immune system, creating immunocompromise, chronic fatigue, and allergies. Part 4 includes information related to the diagnosis and treatment of candidiasis. Three appendices provide supplemental information, and an extensive list of supporting references (over 2,400) concludes the book.

Dr. Bielski's postgraduate training was in mainstream medicine. He shifted his interests and has over thirty years of experience and knowledge in many alternative, complementary, holistic, and integrative therapies. His extensive clinical work and understanding of candidiasis inspire him to educate and enlighten doctors and patients about this prevalent promoter of ill health. Rather than being involved in an active clinical practice, Dr. Bielski continues to be a private consultant and has other books and projects in development.
