of 2005 showing highly positive candida overgrowth. I have been in

Nystatin since 12/20 with 2 weeks of dyflucan. Also, I have been

following the SCDiet for more than a year--initially I thought that

was enough, but then found the candida situation.

==>The SCDiet is not adequate for curing candida and for maintaining

ongoing health for many reasons, so please read the article sent to

you when you joined and tweak your diet accordingly.

My questions:

> 1.How long shall I stay on the prescription? My doctor just

keeps renewing it.

==>Diflucan is extremely hard on the liver and should only be taken

if liver function tests are done before taking them. Nystatin can

be taken for a very long time - I took it for 1 1/2 years - but the

diet is most important aspect of curing candida - you will

understand better after you the read the article (it's also in our

Files on the left side-menu of our Group).

> I have heard that yeast can build tolerance to this med. I am

just afraid to stop because I feel SO much better and I do not want

to go back to the awful feeling I have had for about 20 years!

==>I didn't build up tolerance/resistance to nystatin, but there are

many excellent natural antifungals that are much better, i.e. raw

crushed garlic, clove oil, oil of oregano, and coconut oil (coconut

oil is extremely important for health anyway).

> 2.The only craving I ever have is for raw cashews....is that

normally a candida connection?

==>Everyone has their own cravings for different foods. Cravings

foods that aren't recommended are due to addictions or a lack of

nutrients (especially minerals).

> 3. I read about syclovir as a candida treatment. Any info on

that?

==>Yes, it contains Diatoms which are very damaging - see the " Not

Recommended Supplements, Treatments, etc. " article (after the

Folders in the Files).
