Re: regarding vasculitis-tony - nystatin

[Guest guest]

I know people with dental infections (with pain) who've applied

nystatin directly to the gums around infected teeth (they held the

tablets in place until they dissolved) and experienced dramatic

reduction in pain or mental fogginess. My doctor friend (who died)

started " sucking on " nystatin almost all day long (after meeting

Tony). It helped him get his medical license back. He had just

started working again in my doctor's office and was finally getting

the abx he needed, but a seizure got him first. He died while he was

at a medical conference trying to convince other doctors about the

seriousness of these infections. Talk about making your point.

I've seen the same thing with other anti-microbials placed near the

site of infection. One of the " advantages " people with dental pain

have, is that they can tell if they hit on a good drug, because the

pain diminishes greatly. I've seen this time and again.

I also gauge my own abx effectiveness this way. I don't have

terrible pain, but I do have occasional pain and a mild achiness,

with a constant kind of pressure, in my jaw. Certain antibiotics

make that go away, and over time my fatigue lifts as well. I can

tell when the abx is wearing off (on a daily basis), or losing the

battle altogether, because the pressure/pain comes back.
