Links
(Updated 2/14/2003)
On the web there are some large list of links to Candida resources. Rather
than duplicate them here, I will simply list the most important links and those pages
which themselves contain a large number of links.
This list is not intended as an endorsement of any particular site. I have listed these
only because the web-sites have useful information.

This contains many excellent articles on Candida.
The Chronic Candidiasis Syndrome
This page contains the most comprehensive write-up on CRC of any page I have seen on
the web.
The Yeast Connection
This is the web-site for Dr. Crook and his book on Candida. Unfortunately, a rather
useful forum was discontinued.

This site is small so far but interesting.
Other Useful Information

true.
Great Forums to Discuss Candida and CFS with Others
RainCity Candida Forum
This forum is a great place to exchange information with other Candida sufferers.
Candida Listserv at
St. John's University
Probably the busiest Candida forum. It is a bit complicated to join and use. It is a
listserv forum.
Yahoo CFS

Groups
Local Support Groups
Center for Disease Control
page for local support groups.
Find a local support group, or register one.
Testing Labs
Great
Smokies Diagnostic Lab
This lab has an excellent reputation. It has a good food allergy blood test, and
an innovative adrenal test. I cannot recommend their Candida test at this time.
Antibody Assay Labs
This site contains excellent information about Candida blood testing. They offer the
Candida Immune Complexes blood test which is the most reliable test.
Better Health USA
This is the site of a blood-testing lab. Information is therefore somewhat biased. It
is rather expensive though they will make it easy on you by arranging for someone near you
to draw blood. It also has a forum where people can ask questions of knowledgeable
personnel.
Meridian Valley Labs
This lab also has an excellent food allergy test.
York Nutritional Laboratory
This lab in the United Kingdom also has very good information on allergy blood testing.
Pharmaceutical Sites
Claritin Site
Claritin is a prescription antihistamine that does not cause drowsiness. Candida
and CFS sufferers frequently find it provides some relief. The Claritin site
provides mold counts which may be useful to the Candida sufferer.
Allegra Site
Like Claritin, Allegra is a prescription antihistamine that does not cause drowsiness.
Candida and CFS sufferers frequently find it provides some relief.
Zyrtec Site
Allegra is another competitor to Allegra and Claritin and may provide relief.
Midrin Information
Migraine medications can often help fatigue. Fatigue is sometimes caused by a
condition called "migraine equivalent". It is difficult to diagnose.
Midrin is an older medication. The main side-effect is that it can
temporarily cause drowsiness itself.
Imitrex site
Information on the Imitrex migraine medication.
Diet Information
Glycemic Index
Did you know that bread is just as bad for your blood sugar levels as pure
table sugar and white rice is not much better?

Books and Videos on CFS
The Wellness Books Site
Overton Studios Site
Information on "Therapeutic Thinking", a therapy with a
Christian point of view.
Zoe's Win
This book proposes a possible explanation for sudden onset CFS. This
is a book I have not yet read, but the idea sounds interesting. My CFS had a slow
onset, but that is the exception and not the rule. Most people suffer an illness
which the CDC suspects is viral in nature followed by CFS. This book contains some
interesting ideas on this.
