Yes, I've read about Nystatin and I'll use it if its prescribed for me after

my Candida antibodies test results come back. I asked for it at the clinic

when they gave me Diflucan because my vaginal yeast count was so high, but

the nurse there said I couldn't have a systemic infection because I don't

have a compromised immune system. I don't know how she can be so sure about

that. I was only supposed to have to take the Diflucan one day, and then

again a week later only if the yeast didn't go away after the first dose.

Hah. I went back again after those two weeks, still had yeast, took Diflucan

again. Maybe I'll go bug them about it again. They're obviously overlooking

something. Since I'm seeing a real doctor now I don't bother with the clinic

much anymore, but I probably should just so they learn where they're going

wrong. It seems they should be asking themselves how a supposedly

non-immune-compromised patient could have such a resistant yeast infection,

rather than assuming that it can't be systemic. THEY should have ordered the

antibody test that I had to pay another doctor to order for me. I've had

yeast for 6 months. I have to wait another month for the test results.

I'm just really tired right now. Nystatin? sure I'll try nystatin, somebody

send me some.

Nystatin is expensive but if you just use it once a day it will last a long

time. You can get a special nystatin mouth wash of you can take it orally. I

just keep it in my mouth for about 90

seconds then swallow it. I am about out & I am not sure if I will reorder it or

not. I am not sure how much I believe in the whole yeast theory thing. Now that

I have my sugar intake down to a

minimum I do not have much in the way of digestive problems. I do not have food

allergies and leaky gut. The other drug (D) is a more serious drug whereas

Nystatin is pretty harmless. If you doc

says that you have a serious yeast infection go with D in the short term & if

you want more continuos protection take Nystatin over the long haul.

Nystatin is much cheaper if you can get it prescribed as the powder

form; compounding pharmacies are good for this. Then you just put 1/4

tsp in half a glass of water to use as mouthwash and to drink several

times a day. It has a bitter taste, but doesn't linger if you drink

some plain water afterwards.

Can you explain to me a how you are diagnosed with leaky gut and how you

know when it has healed?

Or a site tht mdight tell me this?

Thanks

I cannot really explain it. If you are interested in the possible role of yeast

in CFS you would want to read Crook's book " the yeast connection handbook " My

understanding of leaky gut is that due

to poor gut ecology undigested food get into the small intestines and then into

the blood. This results in food allergies and other problems --because the

immune system attacks these undigested

foods. I am not sure if there is any research that backs this theory up. I can

only say that I have heard most folks say that Nystatin helps somewhat with

digestive problems but provide only

marginal help for general CFS problems.

However the lady that clean my house (when she comes) told me that she know a

woman that had CFS and spent a year in bed. This woman claims that Nystatin and

vit. E cured her. I have never met

this woman but I can't imagine that anyone is be dishonest. Who knows?

The only other thing I know about Nystatin is that it was developed on New

York's Statin Island, hence the name.

I have MCS with frequent if not constant low grade headache, impaired mental

concentration and in general a low-grade constant mental fog that hinders my

work which unfortunately requires preparing presentations, mathematical

calculations and crisp thought processes.

About a year ago, I read the website of a doctor in North Carolina (if

memory serves me correctly). He proclaimed great success treating MCS and

other similar problems with a protocol that called for three different

anti-fungals taken simultaneously at levels in some cases way above the

normal dosage levels. The 3 different meds were Nystatin Powder (I found

only one brand that did not have any additives), Amphotericin-B capsules

(That I had to order from France with a prescription from my doctor) and

Sporanox. The idea is to stay on all 3 medications for a minimum of 3

months at maximum or greater levels.

I had to convince my local doctor that this was a valid treatment by

e-mailing the doctor in N.C. He graciously responded back to me with a

positive response as to the safety and validity of the treatment.

Amphotericin-B is available in the United States only in IV form and is used

only for the most complicated fungal infections in the bloodstream and is

highly toxic and dangerous to use in this form. But the capsules are

completely safe and without side effects, but not available here. Hence the

ordering from France, which was easy.

After about two weeks into the treatment, 90 percent of my mental

concentration returned and have continued to be improved almost a year

later. It did nothing for my other MCS symptoms, but being able to

concentrate and have a better level of work production has been great.

Unfortunately, I believe that such a protocol should be repeated probably at

least every year.

If I had any Yeast or Candida, certainly this treatment killed off a lot of

it and perhaps the idea that Candida are releasing toxins is true. All I

know is that it helped me a great deal.

Glad to find any of the information on the doctor, his treatment, the

specific drug manufacturer of the Nystatin, the drug store in Orly, France,

etc. if anyone is interested.

I did not know for sure. No specific fungus test seemed valid enough for me

to try.

I was responding to the candida albicans (yeast overgrowth) possiblity that

had been put forth by Dr. Crook, Dr. Truss, etc. They believed, as you

probably already know, that a lot of MCS patients in their care had improved

tremendously with anti-candida diet, nystatin and other fungal remedies.

The " Yeast Connection " book described my situation fairly closely and I had

cleared up an aggravating continuous 4-year sinus congestion and

inflammation problem in 1986 or so with Nystatin tablets within literally

days and had not had any sinus congestion since. That was proof enough for

me to believe that something about my condition involved fungus. And

probably still does.

But Nystatin tablets by themselves had done nothing in the past for my MCS

problems of chemical intolerance which was getting worse year after year.

So with the advent of the Internet I began to search again for answers. I

stumbled over the fungus/yeast idea again and the site of the doctor that I

mentioned in Virginia (not North Carolina as it turns out) at

www.drcranton.com who has modified his website a bit since I visited there

over a year ago and does not mention ordering from a specific pharmacy in

France directly. He seems to be a bit hung-up on some of his pet theories

that he discusses on his web-site, but there is no doubt in my mind that the

three-pronged attack helped my mental function, but still did not take the

major daily chemical problem away. He corresponded with me by e-mail (for

free) regarding my questions on having to use Amphotericin-B since it seemed

a bother to get from France. But my local doctor wrote the prescription and

the dealing with France in my zero French and their limited English worked

fine.

I had another indication that fungus of some sort was involved after having

slight improvements in the past with Nystatin tablets with no other

anti-fungals. And, very important in my thinking was the fact that Nystatin

powder in water (slowly sipped) had also been able to relieve a major sore

throat problem within a few hours after various antibiotics had failed. So

now Nystatin Powder is my first defense when a sore throat occurs. Not

Antibiotics. Particularly when there is no discernible reason for the sore

throat.

There it is, sorry that I was so long-winded,

Lawrence

What are the symptoms of candida? I mean, if you have a child that doesn't

really complain of pain, or discomfort. When was 2-1/2 he had Mekel's

Diverticulum, which is basically the intestines have stomach lining instead of

intestinal lining and it eats itself. The doctor said he should have been in

excruciating pain. He was laughing. They ended up doing an emergency bowel

resectional.

Hi Lori -

I took Nystatin for a while for yeast and couldn't

really tell any difference. What helps me the most is

Diflucan (prescription) for active infections, and

SF-722 (made by Thorne) on a regular basis to fight

systemic yeast. It's a tough problem to beat.

Good luck - Jennie

Subject: systemic yeast/nystatin

My sister has been put on a low dose antibiotic many

months ago for

cysts on

her face. Each time she has been taken off the

antibiotic, the cysts

return. Apparently the actual cause has never been

addressed. Anyhow,

she

is taking nystatin to kill the bad yeast. Will this

stop the yeast

from

becoming systemic? I am worried because I have

systemic yeast and have

been

battling it for years and I know how hard it is to get

rid of. My

sister

keeps insisting on it being okay because it is low

dose???

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you

Lori

They sell it in caps in Holland and Barrett in 250mg caps - I don't buy much from them but this is charcoal is charcoal kind of thing.

==>Hi. It was 20 years ago when I took Nystatin. Unfortunately there

are no tests that are conclusive for candida.

I don't think you need to take nystatin because natural antifungals I

recommend are much better. Overall antifungals aren't very important

since candida cannot be cured by killing it off. The only way to cure

it is by building up your immune system so it becomes strong enough

to " make " candida change back into the friendly organism it is supposed

to be in the body. Diet and supplements are critical, including

coconut oil (antifungal too), while antifungals and probiotics aren't.

You can get totally healthy on nutrients alone.

I order the threelac from GHT products and get it shipped to Page, which

is a shipping company. They bring goods to Cabo by truck all the time. And

they have a warehouse in San Diego and Tijuana. So when they cross the border

they don't get checked. That is how I get it into Mexico. But it costs $70 for

shipping each time. So the last order I made, I purchased a case of fivelac.

Here is the address for Page. You could email them and see if they have

trucks to Puerta Vallarta. And if not, we could order it to here and then I

could DHL it to you.

day) of iodine quite effective but just wondering is it safe to take idoine (24

daily drops) for long term, meaning 3-4 months? BTW, I also have lyme disease

and fibromyaliga caused by mycoplasma fermatans for 6 years on top of candida.

Please advise. Thanks.

Nystatin is only absorbed from the mouth all the way down to the gut. It's not

systemic. . .it WILL kill only candida, which may be in your mouth & gut, but

NOT kill any good bacteria, so that's what's advantageous about it.

I'm actually suspicious about ThreeLac and FiveLac. They seem very overpriced

and overadvertised. What makes them better than other probiotics?

Hi Everyone,

That is very interesting about the Nystatin. I just met someone at work who had

a severe case of candida and he used the powder form of Nystatin to cure it. He

swears by it. I have been trying to buy it here in Mexico but I am a little

nervous about it. I have been feeling good with the fivelac and I am not sure if

I want to take the risk to change things.

I did just read on a website that it is not absorbed in the stomach and that it

is good for thrush only????

Does anybody have any experience with it? It supposively is an antibiotic, and I

thought that antibiotics were bad for Candida?

==>You are correct. Nystatin is a unique drug which doesn't get past

the gut so it doesn't affect the liver like Diflucan and other

antifungal drugs do.

+++Hi Emma. Yes, you can just stop taking Nystatin orally, and just

do the diet, including coconut oil, and take the supplements.

However, you can still insert nystatin vaginally.

you can get in Australia! If you suggest, I will stop oraly taking

them and stick to the VCO and diet - but should I keep inserting at

night?

+++I didn't know nystatin contains lactose, so it would be better if

you use another type of antifungal vaginally, which are in that

vaginal treatment article.

Em,

Another thing you could for the vag yeast infection is to insert a

whole piece of garlic. What you can do is take a needle and thread

and thread it through the bottom so it's like a tampon so you won't

have to go digging for it(!) when you want to take it out. If you

leave the hard end on the garlic, it will prevent to the thread from

ripping through the garlic, just be gentle when putting it in so that

the hard end doesn't scratch you. You can leave it in over night or

during the day and you will likely taste garlic in your mouth.

If you want a stronger treatment, make a few cuts on the garlic so

the garlic juice can come out. Be careful, it's quite strong and can

irritate you. Otherwise, for a gentler treatment, just try to keep

the garlic intact.

I hope that works for you.

My doctor put me on nystatin 3 was ago. I've spoken to you before, but I don't

write much. the only thing I've noticed since then is a lot of stomach cramping

and pain. could this be from the nystatin? also the pharmacy here wouldn't fill

the powder he prescribed so I had to get the oral suspension form. what do you

think about that kind?

thanks, christie
