Re: Question about Candida and Nystatin/Medistatin

I'm afraid that your protocol -- just using nystatin to cure your candida problems is way too simplistic. Candida is well known to be able to adjust to nystatins in the same way as certain bacteria can adjust to antibiotics. So your apparent assumption that "all I have to do is just kill the candida in my body and I'll be cured..." is all wrong. For you to be able see the reasons for this, you must study candida behaviour -- in depth.

Here is a summation of candida behaviour. To beat or overcome candida you must address every single one of the behaviours below, otherwise no cure. See beow.

Here is the succesful strategy that I eventually used against my own candida problems:

* Avoid using any antibiotics. Antibiotics are one of the top causes of dysbiosis in the human body—a malady well known to encourage the persistence and spread of candida as well as aiding in and supporting the spread of numerous other pathogen problems throughout the body.

* Directly attacking, killing and removing candida as well as killing and removing all other co-infections from other pathogen species in the body. These anti-pathogen protocols should be selected and employed to act as wide-acting pathogen killers – that can kill fungi, bacteria, viruses and mycoplasma quickly – while at the same time acting throughout all regions of the body (not just acting in the intestines) for a fuller effect in order to eradicate both the fungal and yeast forms of candida as well as to efficiently kill all the associated pathogens that may also be involved.

* Removal of heavy metals, halides and other poisons that have accumulated in the body over time. Apart from greatly depressing and weakening the immune system and liver, heavy metals are a part of the building material that candida uses to construct biofilms. So heavy metals removal from the body will also help to expose candida and other pathogens by reducing biofilm formation that would normally help to protect and hide various pathogens – including candida – from the body's immune system.

* Using other protocols on a daily basis with specific surfactant or digestive properties that effectively act to dissolve and dispel the candida biofilms in which candida and other pathogens can protect themselves. By doing this, the involved pathogens will be completely flushed out with nowhere to hide. The candida and pathogen attack remedies can then be more effectively employed to kill and remove the offending pathogens more quickly.

* Alkalizing the body on a daily basis to neutralize body acidity caused by candida and other anaerobic pathogens. This also helps to remove toxins, which helps to resolve malabsorption issues in the body. Alkalizing also disrupts biofilms, helps to kill candida, oxygenates the cells, counteracts acidosis and does a myriad other beneficial jobs besides that will be later described.

* Specifically targeting, neutralizing and removing candida mycotoxins and aflatoxins in the body on a daily basis within the protocol. In the 1980s, Orion Truss identified mycotoxins as dangerous waste products from candida. Many of these dangerous candida mycotoxins are also carcinogenic, the accumulated presence of which in the human body is extremely debilitating for the candida sufferer both mentally and physically and which, as a consequence, tends to greatly lower the immune system's effectiveness.

* Strongly supporting the nutritional and excretory pathways of the body – viz. the intestines, liver and kidneys – to help in reducing the inevitable detox and candida die-off or Herxheimer effects so that the blood is quickly purified and healthy again. This is why a simple but wide-ranging liver support protocol is also included in the main candida protocol.

* Supporting and strengthening the immune system and body terrain with vitamin and mineral nutrients that are always lacking in the Western processed food diet. Candida hates a healthy alkaline body with a fully functioning and strong immune system.

* Strictly following an Anti-Candida Diet

So from above and in a nutshell, any anti-candida protocol that you adopt must comprise and fulfill the following strategy criteria to successfully and completely eradicate systemic candida and all associated pathogenic co-infections:

Anti-Candida and Anti-Pathogen Protocols

Anti-Biofilm Protocols

Alkalizing Protocols

Essential Detox Protocols

Liver Support Protocols

Vitamin and Mineral Support (Immune System Support)

The Anti-Candida Diet
