Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Yup - that was me. I did read something that was referred to me in a Dr. Amy Yasko book but I'm curious if your info is the same. We eventually did stop Nystatin permanently about a month ago. He was in the throes of non-stop giggly behaviour, and nothing seemed to impact it (arbinose scores up to the same level as before treatment) so I threw my hands up and quit it and the carrot/garlic juice cold turkey. The giggling stopped almost immediately, pee is OK, but definitely worse than with the Nystatin - but we still don't have the social connectedness back that we had when we first started yeast treatment. Looking back - that was after the round of Diflucan - so I'm thinking that I might try that once more before moving on. Oh - also tried the Yeast Aid after the Nystatin stopped and that didn't make a change either.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Well, since several people are interested in this, I will try to summarize what she writes about it to the list. Keep in mind that this book is not an easy read. She talks about the tetanus vaccine, and states that " tetanus toxoid may also be able to inhibit neurotransmitter release " . Then she goes into something really complicated having to do with synaptobrevin and liposome fusion " . Main point: " Many parents comment on the fact that their children do better on nystatin, even in the absence of a yeast infection. It is possible that in addition to its action as an antifungal, the nystatin may be acting to aid in the release of neurotransmitters that have been compromised by the tetanus toxoid. " Interesting, huh? -- Nystatin/Sharon Yup - that was me. I did read something that was referred to me in a Dr. Amy Yasko book but I'm curious if your info is the same.
