Information of general medical nature that relates to fluoroquinolones.
If you have to take a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is there anything you can do to take it safely and reduce your chances of having an adverse event?
Which fluoroquinolone adverse effects have you seen in practice? Medical Professionals Weigh-In
Could Fluoroquinolone induced brain fog actually be "Chemobrain," a late effect experienced by those who have systemic chemotherapy? Join me as we take a look a this interesting topic.
Is it possible to be floxed by Fluoroquinolone eye drops? Join me as we briefly look at the data to answer this sometimes controversial question.
Could hydrogen sulfide (H2S) be driving some of your chronic floxing symptoms? Evidently it is in a subset of individuals who are chronically floxed.
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.
Floxies are all poster children for peroxidation of cellular and mitochondrial lipids then subsequent damage to proteins and DNA.
One culprit that is often overlooked in chronic Fluoroquinolone toxicity is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO.
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.
“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.

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....
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, the subject is controversial in individuals who [...]
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.
