I always took Nystatin with ABX, herbs and supps, Only take Magnesium and Probiotics a few hours away.

My LLMD said once that nystatin is fairly benign and has little to no interactions with our typical ABX protocols. Maybe someone else can speak more on herbals.

Maybe take a look...it talks about starting off low...and slowly increasing it.

I took it for a while.
It did nothing for my oral thrush so I've moved on to Diflucan.

Thanks, Girlie. I have seen and referenced it. My dosage doesn't quite line up. I was hoping for some personal experiences too.

Sorry...I see you mentioned the website that Piroutte referred to.

So the website shows 1/2 tsp is 4 million i.u.
(Starting dose )
That is to be divided into 4 times a day.
I understand the difficulty you're having.

It says you can put it in juice or soy milk.

Hi! I'm on week 3 of the Nystatin protocol. Unbelievable results. Neuropathy almost completely gone. I know, I know, its not systemic but there has to be a connection, some sort of quorum sensing from the Candida in the gut to the nervous system. Hoping this is the final piece of the puzzle.

I'm up to 6 pills a day. Lots of running to the bathroom!!!

I finally have my pure nystatin. Great!
The handout from my doctor says 1,000,000,000 units : 1/4 tsp by mouth 4 times daily.
But the jar says 1 scoop (0.5CC) (1 MILL UNITS).
I don't understand the discrepancy, so I'm asking my clinic/doctor about it.

What units is your pure nystatin?

I'm having a hard time comparing this to the recommended drmyhill website. : |

And did you space it out from other meds/herbals/foods? What is best time to take it? I'm going to have a hard time taking it 4 times per day.
What did you take it with?

Thanks.

A pretty common dosing for Nystatin is 500,000 units x 2 in the morning, then again in the evening. But this is a tablet form of Nystatin, which is what I take. So I'm getting about 2 million units per day.

If your directions are saying 0.5 cc = 1 million units and to take 1/4 tsp x 4 = 1 tsp per day.
My math is this:
1 tsp = 5cc (ish)...then that would amount to 10 million units a day.

That seems high to me. So good on you for catching this! Let us know what the doctor's office says.
