Hydrogen Sulfide in Chronic Floxing
Could hydrogen sulfide (H2S) be driving some of your chronic floxing symptoms? Evidently it is in a subset of individuals who are chronically floxed.

Information of general medical nature that relates to fluoroquinolones.
Bittersweet Validation: Thoughts on my Muscle Biopsy
After so many unremarkable tests, and so many years, some of the bigger pieces of the puzzle, for me, are starting to fall into place.
Lipid Membrane Repair In Chronic Floxing
Floxies are all poster children for peroxidation of cellular and mitochondrial lipids then subsequent damage to proteins and DNA.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Chronic Floxing
One culprit that is often overlooked in chronic Fluoroquinolone toxicity is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO.
New Dear Colleague Letter
Dr. Miriam J. de Jonge M.D., who herself was floxed has contacted me and asked me to post, what I feel, is a comprehensive and well documented “Dear Colleague” letter, informing other doctors of (FQ) toxicity. It can be used to foster patient/doctor discussions. It is available here to download.
Researching Fluoroquinolone Toxicity: The Personal Cost of Research
“You can’t do what I do and think the drug companies don’t notice you.” With the media scrutiny and the Citizen Petitions filed over the last year you can bet that Bennett has gotten the attention of some very powerful entities; entities that are going to push back in an effort to silence or undermine our message.
Slippery Elm
I suffer from gastritis post Fluoroquinolones (FQ). I have found one of the hardest places to help is the upper part of the stomach and or the lower esophagus. Enter slippery elm.
Fluoroquinolones & Senescence, It’s Not Just About Aging.
I have found that there is a great misconception by many, including doctors, about the concept of senescence. Most believe it is just simply ‘old age’, but its far more….
Fluoroquinolones, FDA Memo Highlights Damning Evidence
Recently an internal memo dated April 17, 2013, issued by the Food and Drug Administration’s Center Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology, was obtained through the freedom of information act shows the FQs in a damning light.
Steroid Usage Post Fluoroquinolones
The subject of steroid use is a controversial one in folks who have experienced an adverse event from Fluoroquinolones (FQ’s). I have talked to many floxies who have taken steroids since floxing. The results...
Fluoroquinolone Delayed Adverse Reactions: Simple Three Step Logic
A simple three step action that logically links FQ’s to the ability to initiate delayed adverse “late effect” reactions. There are no grand leaps of faith or conjecture required to link the steps.
The Internet Health Consultants
Unfortunately, and more often than not, I have seen a cash strapped floxies pay out $1000 or more in consulting fees and walk away no healthier than they were when they started out and many times more frustrated, confused, and definitely lighter in the pocketbook.
Antibiotic Resistance, You May be Contributing To It Without Even Knowing.
Theoretically, the use of pharmaceuticals, even those that are not designated antibiotics, can exert negative influences on your body’s microbiome and contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Hopeless or hopeful, Fluoroquinolones and DNA Adduction, Part Deux
Since our physiology is not static and things such as enzyme levels and trace mineral are in a constant state of flux, not to mention genetic variances, all which affect metabolization, combined with the fact that the FQ molecule is very complex, there is no way of determining if the same decomposed and identifiable compound will form an adduct in each person.
“You’re trying to have a heart attack…”
Although I knew darn well why I was there, this moment was very surreal for me, almost unbelievable.
