Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 does CSM work in a way that even if you didn't take it every day, that you could take it if you knew you had to go somewhere and would likely get exposed to something? if you take it ahead on time does it help that way?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I'm confused. What is compounded CSM? How does it differ from what my doc prescribed me--basically a powder in a quaker-oatmeal-type tin with a scoop inside. Thanks. -AN On Nov 14, 2010, at 11:37 AM, KathyB <calicocat477@...> wrote: I wanted to share my experience. Not to influence your decisions, as I have a sensitive system. I convinced my mainstream doc. to prescribe CSM & Nystatin. Within minutes of CSM cleared head fog lifted. The 1st time I was okay, the 2nd had stomach upset & couldn't eat. Not vomiting but felt awful. I might try compounded. It's an amazing med for those who tolerate it. Compounded Nystatin is helping. As an alternative to CSM I take pygnogenol. They work the same way but CSM is much stronger. I had improvements w virastop for viruses/biofilm Candidase w it for mold/yeast.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 AN, Some people get prescriptions to get the CSM made without the added dyes, aspartame or sugars since you can put it in juice or applesauce, sweetners not needed and not desireable. It is basically same thing other than that. > > I'm confused. What is compounded CSM?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 For the 1st 8 weeks of using CMS I was fatigued (the fatigue started the 2nd week) and still had symptoms but now at 2 3/4 months into CMS I am so much better. Last night I slept 6 hrs straight w/o a trip to the bathrm. My IC was incredibly bad prior to CMS with horrible pain & urgency sometimes every 15 min. I was mold exposed and had migraines often with throwing up. I have a dreaded gene 4-3-53 but am getting better. It was not an easy detox. I had a mold exposure for 3 consecutive days last week which gave me 3 days of migraines. For the last 3 days I am OK, I bounced back fast. I am in the process of sorting through my possessions exposed in mold so I had exposure. I use the N-95 mask which seems to work but I did not wear it a couple of times and oops got hit! I had migraines since 1983 right after severe head injury auto accident and IC since 2002/3. Living in the FL Keys and So FL I was exposed to a lot of mold, so hard to prevent. I accumulated a lot of neurotoxins during that time and whenever I was in an obvious moldy environment the migraines were extreme with vomiting. When I had this last exposure and consequently migraines they were less severe and no vomiting. Dr. Shoemaker told me he thought I had a pituitary hormone problem caused from the toxins preventing my kidneys to hold onto water causing my killer headaches b/c of dehydration. He thought my diagnosis of migraines was wrong. They occur on the one side and are awful, I was bedridden with most of them. Well, the blood test proved Dr. S right and now since the CMS my kidney is holding more water than before. It is a slow recovery but at least I see improvement and am very hopeful.   From: KathyB <calicocat477@...> Subject: [] CSM Date: Sunday, November 14, 2010, 12:37 PM  I wanted to share my experience.
