Hacking’ is a positive term. The mission is to energize and connect the best minds in the fluoroquinolone community to vet out truth from fiction, what works from what does not, cut through all the noise on the web to single out reliable information, regardless of the source.
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.
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.
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.
Although I knew darn well why I was there, this moment was very surreal for me, almost unbelievable.
Have you taken a fluoroquinolone antibiotic such as Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), or Avelox (moxifloxacin)? Would you be willing to help in a survey-based medical research study?
I would have to say that we are one of the most complex subset of patients that can be seen by a physician. More often than not, we often leave the average physician scratching his head as to how to diagnose or treat our condition. Keeping that context in mind, I have determined that I will never see another nurse practitioner again.
In this knee jerk reaction the FDA ruling makes the assumption that "We the People" are not responsible enough or smart enough to own or understand our own genetic information.
Okay let’s face it, I don’t like taking medications any more than the next guy. However, it is an unfortunate fact that some floxed folks do have to take prescription medication. It is a guide to help those, who out of necessity find it necessary to obtain medication at a discount.
Can you imagine running 26.2 miles? When you're floxed like [...]
Many of us impacted by fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics fear having dental work post floxing. These fears can be justified because of the treatment standards employed by dental doctors.
I want to thank Dr. Mercola for challenging the traditional medical paradigms that exist and bring a public platform to get the facts out about these and other dangerous medications.
Just learning if adductions exist or not is not the end, just the opposite, it would open up a vast array of questions, resulting in the need for far more research. If you are looking with an unbiased filter you will see a highly heterogeneous mix of results.There may end up being one cause, but there definitely is not one destination.
This serious nerve damage potentially caused by fluoroquinolones may occur soon after these drugs are taken and may be permanent...
I wonder if the NHTSA could extend their reach to the overview of pharmaceuticals, since other entities in the Federal Government have taken a blind eye to complaints from its citizens.
