This is a theory promoted by Dr. Crook (Yes, that is his name), but he has not, in the many years he has been lecturing and publishing on all of this, ever been able to produce any reputable research to substantiate the theory.
It used to be that all conventional medicine doctors pooh-poohed unconventional techniques, but nowadays it seems many docs are more open to new (or even ancient) ideas, but when I have asked docs about the yeast theory, they have all responded that it has no merit.
On the other hand, it is given a neutral to cautiously positive treatment in Elizabeth Vliet's book, "Screaming to be Heard".
I, myself, am not well informed enough to say with certainty that it cannot be valid, but I am certainly very skeptical of any approach that hasn't been able to produce any good research to validate it.
