New York Times: Stomach Bug Crystallizes an Antibiotic Threat April 13, 2009
Our Sponsor, Peter Simon
A warm welcome to our well known sponsor, Peter Simon, a nationally acclaimed photographer, photojournalist, author, music historian, instructor, and the son of Richard Simon, co - founder of Simon & Schuster. Peter, through his talents, is capturing the imagery and story of a silent epidemic, which is affecting nearly 30% of the world population. It is by no accident that Peter landed with us here. Fate brought him here with a job to do, a job that is truly Peter's specialty. He has personally suffered for over 10 years from a condition caused by taking too many antibiotics, known as systemic candida. Read More about Peter

The Systemic Candida Survivor Team
Since many people actually self diagnose and self treat for this condition, it is important to find support for ideas, suggestions, and methods to survive this debilitating condition.
I have recently organized a support group. It is called the Systemic Candida Survivor Team, and it is national in scope. While we will have local meetings, it is still possible to connect with our members via our website for ongoing support. Don't go through this alone.
Hope is the thing with Feathers, It perches in the Soul, It Sings the Song, Without the Words, And never stops at All. Emily Dickinson
Here, you will find hope. Just visit our Candida Meetup Group
