You can take it by mouth to kill candida in your intestines, and it is very effective. You can read more details in the Files under Nystatin.

Well, my doctor gave me this " swish and swallow " formula, but when the pharmacist told me it was suspended in sucrose, I threw it away. Seems to me if sucrose feeds candida, and how much nystatin is there in the bottle (10 days' worth) to knock out the effect of the sucrose AND the Candida? I'll go to the files and read it, but ... On the other hand, I hear the powder is horrid to taste. Bee, would you comment on the sucrose vs. nystatin efficacy?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Bee, I am still alittle confused after reading the nystatin info.. What exactly IS nystatin? and why, if it is a drug, is it so safe to take? Also, what do you suggest, power or liquid?Which tastes worse? At what unit dose does 1/8 tsp powder equal the 750,000 4 times daily we need? Thank you for your time.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Dear Jo, I didn't know they were adding sucrose to nystatin. That's nuts! I'm glad you threw it out. The nystatin powder does taste horrible, but I took it anyway, because it is so effective. You can take it with more water, or put it into a good juice, like unpasteurized tomato juice from the health store. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it for 2 1/2 years. > Also, what do you suggest, power or liquid?Which tastes worse?

I'm not sure about your question on Units. I think a pharmacists can work out the units so you will get at least a month's supply at a time.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Dear Bee and Jo, I've been taking the liquid Nystatin for almost 2 weeks now. I wondered why it tasted so palatable, and now I know! I'm glad I didn't know it had sucrose in it before I started it because I personally can not afford to throw away a bottle of expensive medicine. Don't know what you pay for it, but without insurance, the 10 day supply was just over $50.00 (I'm in Missouri, USA). I will tell you that even though it may have sugar in it, it IS working for me. The white-colored tongue I've had for months is almost gone as are some of my other symptoms. I feel it is effective for me and will get a refill and continue with it. just thought I'd offer a personal liquid Nystatin " success " story. all the best, jackie > > Dear Jo, > > I didn't know they were adding sucrose to nystatin.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi Bee, Oh ya, I saw details for powder and tabs, but on my first look it didn't hit me that suspension is liquid :-) Could you clarify the dose for me? Near the top of the article it mentions taking 750,000 units per day, 4 x a day then under suspension it ways taking 100,000 units 4 x per day - would this be a starting dose? The bottle I have says it's 250,000 IU per 5ml/teaspoon. Should I take 1/2 a teaspoon 4 x a day or 3 full teaspoons per day?

Dear Elyse, 1/16th teaspoon nystatin powder = 250,000 units 1/8th teaspoon nystatin powder = 500,000 units 1 teaspoon nystatin suspension = 250,000 units 2 teaspoons nystatin suspension = 500,000 units It is recommended you start with 1/16th tsp. powder x 4, so the equivalent would be 1 teaspoon of suspension x 4. Gradually increase it up to the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of powder, which would be 16 teaspoons of suspension 4 times a day. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hey Bee and co... I just got myself some liquid nystatin today and have found it does contain sucrose. I'm going to use it anyway judging on other people's success with it. My question is would it be better for me to swig it around in my mouth for 2 minutes and then spit it out rather than swallowing it? I'm of course following the rest of the diet and digesting 5-6 T of coconut oil a day, etc. etc. so anti-fungal properties are still being swallowed... just won't be the nystatin. Thanks in advance!

That is because candida is only cured by building up the immune system, which is done by: 1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements), 2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and cancer), 3) Eliminating damaging foods, and 4) Eliminating toxins in general. When the immune system is strong enough it will automatically " make " candida (or any bug, cancer, etc.) change back into the organism it is supposed to be when the body is healthy. It's like the manure pile and the flies, with the manure pile representing the poor condition of the body. You cannot get rid of the manure pile by killing off the flies. You must clean up the manure pile instead, which means building up your immune system. Taking nystatin will interfere with the healing processes, so I don't think you should take it. Nothing speeds up the healing processes anyway since it still take 1 month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy, and for most people today that is since before they were born.
