Re: Re: Nystatin Experience... good or bad

[Guest guest]

Yolanda,I have never taken Nystatin nor has anyone else in my family, but I would like to point out a method of implementation that appears to affect the outcome positively. It looks like some doctors prescribe diflucan first for a period to get rid of the weaker bunch of fungi. Then towards the end of the diflucan period, the person begins also taking a small dose of Nystatin. The Nystatin is increased over time until the optimal dose is reached. It is maintained for a certain time and then stopped. I think this accomplishes the killing of the yeast in a way that mimizes the die-off toxins. I would, of course, want to make sure that the person undergoing treatment is in a fairly healthy, stable condition before trying it though. Your decision to wait before

trying it with the children seems prudent. Just wanted to mention the pattern I was noticing so you would have that info when/if you decide to try it.Just my 2 cents.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, February 27, 2010 6:28:06 PMSubject: Re: Nystatin Experience... good or bad

Hi Dave, thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately I think all of the responses I've gotten so far are saying the same thing (I received a few emails directly). This is unfortunate that so many are getting worse on it. Have you found out why? I'm wondering if it has to do with methylation/ sulfation and die-off toxins that can't be processed out creating an even more desirable environment for the bad bugs? I am definitely holding off on that for the kids until I research this further. Have you researched alternatives or do you think in hindsight you would stick with the natural antifungals?

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it -

She has never tested positive for yeast but she has dysbiosis and she can not tolerate the higher carbs or fruit.

Yolanda,I should have reversed the order of the drugs I mentioned. I think it is Nystatin first then the diflucan. Whichever way it is, though the pattern is the same -- mild drug first then slowly build the stronger one.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, February 27, 2010 6:28:06

No, the first way.First diflucan, then nystatin. Yolanda,I should have reversed the order of the drugs I mentioned. I think it is Nystatin first then the diflucan. Whichever way it is, though the pattern is the same -- mild drug first then slowly build the stronger one.
