Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Depends on what your usiing it for. Sinus, skin? <brianc8452@...> wrote: Can someone offer some advice about which antifungal is best to use. On a recent post, someone mentioned Diflucan but I thought that was given to women for yeast infection. What about Sporanox or Lamisil? __________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Cholestyramine is not an " antifungal " but it is what many people use for mold illness, as oposed to fungal infections of the lungs, sinuses, etc. Cholestyramine doesn't prevent the damage mold toxins do as they enter the body, but it can removes toxins from enterohepatic recirculation. They build up in people and that causes major issues. On Feb 2, 2008 8:29 AM, <brianc8452@...> wrote: > > > > > > > Can someone offer some advice about which antifungal is best to use.

On a recent post, someone mentioned Diflucan but I thought that was given to women for yeast infection. What about Sporanox or Lamisil? Brain, Ask your doctor which is best for the molds you were exposed to. Dr. Marinkovich used Nizol antifungal spray for compromised sinus, and told me that Diflucan, and Nystatin don't touch penicillium and aspergillus exposures. He said one needs Sporonox for those mold exposures. Another mold friend was told by her doctor that VFend is the one to help with Fusarium exposures. I'm not a doctor but I would ask your treating doctor which antifungal is best for your exposures. Seems like some alternative doctors believe that all mold exposures lead to Candidiasis and treat with Diflucan. Do some more research... > > > ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ > Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Amphotericin B (in the form of a nasal wash) has worked great for my sinuses (which also has helped my lungs). I've been using it for almost 2 years along with avoiding the moldy indoor work environment as much as possible. Before using it, I had frequent profuse nosebleeds, coughed up bloody foam, frequent asthma attacks, fatigue, frequent loss of sense of smell or taste, fatigue, digestive problems, coughing, frequent difficulty speaking, intolerance of very cold foods or beverages, etc..... It really is only for the sinuses. It kills the live mold spores and washes away the dead spores. You can find information by using a search engine for The Mayo Clinic-chronic fungal sinusitis or Dr. A. Sherris or Dr. Jens Ponikau. It's too bad I can't drink the stuff - maybe I'd feel totally better. --- In , <brianc8452@...> wrote: > > Can someone offer some advice about which antifungal is best to use.
