Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi All- I've not checked in for a while. My history was a diagnosis 10 years ago. Optic neuritis/optic neuropathy attack 1 1/2 years ago with some vision loss. In past two years increase in neuro symptoms.. eye pain, balance issues, circulation, muscled jerking/twitching, brain fog. IGENX positive western blot ( 2 bands ) fall 2006. Zhang herbs for lyme 8 months did not help. So far no positive tests for auto-immune. I started LDN (2.25mg) September 2007. Slowly improved, but still not back to where I was prior to July 2007 before bad attack. I also improved during winter last year, so not sure if it is LDN or winter season. An amish herbalist/intuitive told me all my issues including optic neuropathy stemmed from Yeast/Candida. I tried his diet/herbs twice and so no improvement. I am working with my GP who is very open minded and he agreed to do some detailed testing through great plains lab (specializing in autism and immune issues). Well, my full acid urine test does indicate a yeast/fungus issue! I just began an intense yeast diet and ramping up on nystatin. I know there is a wealth of info and individuals who have tried everything on this board. Has anyone tested positive for yeast , and tried nystating/diet changes? What was the outcome? Thoughts anyone? Here is link to Dr. with yeast theory to autoimmune and author of several books including Extraordinary Power to Heal. http://www.nutritioninstitute.com/2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
