Their chemistry puts them in a chemotherapy drug class, and their adverse effects reflect it. Despite this, they are marketed as antibiotics and carelessly prescribed.
I vouch for this- in the 1990s I became deathly ill with a virulent e coli, and was given Cipro. It saved my life.
In 2010 I had brain surgery, and 2 weeks after,started showing signs of meningitis. Levaquin probably saved my life.
Now? I consider myself fortunate that my tendons are only brittle and tear/ detach easily...at least they don't rupture like some folks.
I retired this year, after more than 20 years and owning my own Martial Arts school,because I can't keep myself off the mats when I teach. It's enough that I hurt tendons flexing my fingers or walking sometimes.
i had a colleague, MA, who was prescribed levaquin for a flu in 2009. we were working on a broadway show- the Addams Family- and theater people have (or had, pre-pandemic) an incredible work ethic. MA was the costume design associate and i owned a costume shop. she needed to stop and rest to recover from her flu but she couldn't take any time off. she was coming into my shop for fittings, coughing and feverish, again in the days before covid when we all accepted that it was normal for people to get sick and weren't afraid to be around them.
her flu dragged on for a few weeks and i finally caught it from her. i went to my alternative nurse practitioner for a high dose vitamin IV, took a hot epsom salt bath, took 1000 mg vitamin C every half hour to bowel tolerance and drank homemade bone broth. i was back to work on the third day.
MA went to her doctor, had a chest x-ray and walked out with a prescription for levaquin. her assistant called to tell me that she was finally taking a few days off and was on an antibiotic. i asked him if they had put her on levaquin; he said it sounded familiar.
i was so concerned that i called her at home and begged her to ask for something else. she said her doctor wouldn't give her anything that was dangerous, although she acknowledged that the drug had pages of side effects. not that she read them.
my last words to her were "if you have any issues- a head ache, a stomach ache, some brain fog, anything, don't think that it's just coincidence. assume that it's a drug effect and stop taking it immediately!"
on monday morning, her assistant called to tell me she had had a stroke over the weekend and he would be taking over while she "recovered." i gave her husband a book written by the husband of a "floxie" and urged him to demand acupuncture for her. he said he would talk to her doctor, which was the wrong tactic.
months later, after the show had it's chicago try out, MA had "recovered" enough to be given a charity position on the broadway prep of the show. the company paid for a car service for her as she was too unstable to use public transportation.
she came to my shop for a fitting, and the costume designer warned me not to say "i told you so" as if i would do such a thing! her left arm was crooked up and useless. when she had to use the toilet, i helped her in to the bathroom, pulled down her pants and eased her down onto the seat.
when i helped her up, she collapsed in my arms, crying and saying she wished she had died that day. i lied and told her to be patient, that things would get better even though i knew they wouldn't. no one pushed for early acupuncture treatments or alpha lipoic acid IVs that would have helped her. she had no advocate. her apartment was fitted out with handicapped bars and she now had a neurologist, a physical therapist and a psychologist who put her on anti-depressants!
i never saw her again.
about a year later, i was in a private pilates class and my instructor happened to be a friend of MA's husband. she had been to their apartment for a christmas party. she told me that MA sat on the floor in the corner, sobbing "i wish i was dead, i wish i was dead" which i'm sure was a real party killer.
a few years later, my best friend was put on levaquin for a minor respiratory infection. she called to say "don't speak to me for 2 weeks." when MA had the stroke, my friend had said "my god, you're like Cassandra!" but now that she was on the drug, she didn't want to hear from me. i was sad, but honored her request.
when she called me 3 days later, i thought "has it been 2 weeks already?"
she started having some Achilles pain but dismissed it as my putting ideas in her head. the next day the pain was worse. later that day, at work (she was a dresser at Phantom of the Opera), she mentioned to the ballerinas that she was taking levaquin and they all shrieked "oh my god! stop taking that!! it causes tendon rupture!!!"
she called her doctor and he replaced it with a Z-pack.
i didn't mind that she wouldn't listen to me but would listen to a roomful of ballerinas. at least she listened to someone and ballerinas sure know about their tendons.
my best friend died of bad hospital covid protocol in 2020. she never would listen to me about western medicine. MA died recently of what her NYTimes obit called "complications from a stroke." i checked with mutual friends and learned that she didn't have another stroke that took her out; the stroke in her obit was the 2009 one that had caused no end of medical complications for the past 15 years.
in the end, we both had the flu. i treated mine in ways that did not contribute to the GDP. i paid my nurse practitioner out of pocket. MA had a hospital stay, a battery of doctors and drugs and 15 miserable years of expensive medical involvement.
i was fired from my job of 40 years because i wouldn't take the covid shot. i listened to all those people insist that unvaccinated people be charged for the increased medical treatments they would need because of their refusal of the vaccine but in my entire life, i couldn't begin to rack up the bills that MA did over the last 15 years of her life
Folks, Steve Kirsch incurred eye injury and if he does not find a useful remedy in several days, his eye will go blind permanently. He writes:
"I have a subretinal hemorrhage (SRH). The good news is I have <500 microns of blood under my retina. That can be cleared with surgery. The BAD news is I have lots of blood under my RPE that cannot." Lots more detail on his stack.
Write suggestions on his stack here. He's got about 6 days.
Telegram channel link https://t.me/ciprodamage, of a severely injured friend (Cipro). Possibly has leukemia, bone marrow failure and host of other treats. Spotted the bag and said take it out, but the nurse refused, saying we give it to everybody and the doctor will be very mad at me if I do that. Your joining this channel would be greatly appreciated.
There is a book (Minerals for the Genetic Code by Mr. Charles Waters, ISBN 978-0-911311-85-3, page 5) on minerals, where the author is a layperson whose inspiration to write is a chiropractor. The book cautions about any medication having a fluorine molecule, such as many antidepressants. The medications discussed here are further examples. The result/consequence is before us.
That's my contention. That "disease labels" have been concocted and slapped onto symptoms and injuries that were actually caused by FQs. Fibro, CFS, Lyme, etc. Since FQs can react with a lengthy delay from time of administration, delayed reactions are seldom tied back to the toxic drug, which makes the FQs very useful and profitable "disease generators."
Back in the early 2000's, I was seeing a physician who gave out fluoroquinols like they were candy. She gave them to me for sinus infections and bladder infections. I didn't seem to have any immediate problems with them but, one day when I was out walking on my lunch break, I felt something snap in my foot and I lost control of my footing. I fell and broke the fall with my hands. The pain in my foot was excruciating. I went to the same doctor and she said I sprained my foot. I insisted on an x ray and it turned out that I actually broke my foot. Also, I developed scoliosis and rib inflammation. I saw an orthopod and he said that I had scoliosis all my life. I did NOT. I believe that I developed it from the Cipro and Levaquin I was prescribed on numerous occasions.
When I was in the waiting area for a partial nephrectomy, my doctor yelled out an order to give me Levaquin. I yelled out that I would refuse it. That was in December of 2012. I had already seen the literature on what these drugs could do my that time. So, he asked me what I would take and I ordered myself something else.
I always tell anyone who will listen that they should avoid these drugs like the plague.
Thank you for this . I will forward this to many friends and family.
"Almost Everything Scares Me These Days" describes it well when it comes to medicine. I have been prescribed Cipro for UTI twice. The NP only warned about not lifting heavy things or grandkids for a month! I then heard how damaging it was from another NP! In the end, no one is interested in what's behind a condition. The intent is to hook you up on something that requires visits and more prescriptions. Same with "osteoporosis" drugs that are unbelievably toxic but still being prescribed along scare tactics. And then the JAB; you'll avoid covid, won't infect grandma, never get it again! We heard it all. Does it ever end? Realizing how we, humans, are handled like cattle is unfathomable and leaves us little options when health goes sideways. Tragic outcomes for so many! Very sad!
Thank you for this interview. Here is my story and recommendation. A very young doctor prescribed Tequin (a FQ no longer on the market) in 2003 for what turned out to be an allergic reaction to Neosporin on a cut on my forehead that he diagnosed as an infection. A couple of months later my Achilles tendon ruptured but I didn't know that it was a rupture at the time. After doing some research on the internet I suspected the Achilles tendon was ruptured but the first doctor I went to in urgent care didn't think it was ruptured in spite of the classic and quite obvious gap in the back of my ankle. I then went to an orthopedic surgeon who saw that it was ruptured and had me get an MRI, which I read later is not the normal diagnostic tool but is quite profitable, instead of the normal ultrasound. I finally had an orthopedic surgeon in Denver do the surgery but he didn't do the best of jobs. I only suspected the connection between my ankle and FQ a few months after the surgery because of a lawyers ad on TV for a different FQ. Even back then FQ injury was common enough and known about that this legal firm saw that it was worthwhile to pursue. Among other things about this misadventure, I have come to the conclusion that all things that include Fluorine are toxic to life including Fluoridated water, Fluoridated toothpaste and other dental compounds, fire retardants, non stick and waterproofing compounds, the forever chemicals (PFA, PFOA, PFOS), and the over 325 drugs that contain fluorine.
Some advise writing allergic to this on their medical records; this will keep away fluoridated anesthetics also. They have to use barbituates and propofol.
I've had two floxxing incidents...and you are always vulnerable and health compromised if you have ever had a reaction to them.
One thing that most floxxed people don't realize is that you can get another floxxing incident just from eating meat, pork, poultry or fish that have been fed antibiotics. It took me awhile to make that connection, but having paid close attention to it over the past few years, I would bet they are using FQ's for our meat, poultry and fish...just a heads up, in case you have a flare up and can't make the connection. It's not quite as severe as if you were doing the antibiotics themselves, but it is the same - the aching nueropathic symptoms...
My heart goes out to all who have suffered this hideousness...
Here's the stack I did on this subject last March...
Thanks so much to Rick and Dr. Yoho for this information. I have had Crohn’s since 88 and every time I had a flare I was first prescribed Cipro. I have not taken it for probably 15+ years now but had no idea about this. I have been against vaccines for many years, after looking into them, and am wary of all pharma, and now, of course, doctors. I have goldenseal tincture, garlic tincture, and oregano oil for any antibiotic requirements. Work fantastic for me and no side effects.
floxie here--I'd sure love ta hear how some folks have found "cures"--I got floxxed in 2008 (after my youngest was born) for a minor scar infection an' my tendons MELTED--have pain daily (I ignore it)--my planar fascitis is mostly all healed since 'bout 2020 but my hands (joints/thumbs), elbows, knees--basically all the joints attached by tendons are a mess still--I don't heal or make collagen (I eat it tho!)... As it messed up my immune system THEN I got lyme (bullseye an' all, no question). Also, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos folks get it WORSE--that's me. Already we have loose tendons--ligaments so a short stint on Cipro (etc) does us in. My hands gave out using a TAPE DISPENSER one week into Cipro. I stopped it but it was too late. Taking vitamins + red light but not much help-- Stem cell therapy sounds pie in the sky unaffordable... cheaper options appreciated!
I was sun-adverse until I read Robert's sun podcast post. Staunch advocate now of heliotherapy. Makes perfect sense, as sunlight is what makes organisms grow. The sun is the most basic and cheapest form of red light therapy. But there are so many things that may or may not help, depending on each individual case. Magnesium supplementation seems to be the common foundation. Bathing, immersion in ocean water can be highly beneficial due to the rich minerals. Check out this trilogy:
The Future of Medicine: The 3 Greatest Therapies Targeting Mitochondrial Dysfunction (3 books)
Paperback Edition
The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue: Remarkable Hope for Depression, COVID, AIDS & other Viruses, Alzheimer’s, Autism, Cancer, Heart Disease, ... Targeting Mitochondrial Dysfunction)
Bath Bombs & Balneotherapy: The Surprising Health Benefits of Bath Bombs and Ancient Secrets of Hot Springs, Dead Sea Minerals and CO2 Baths for ... Targeting Mitochondrial Dysfunction)
I'm doin' daily methylene blue, got red light (do often)--have not tried mineral baths (we don't have a tub now) is the sun itself helping? If so do share... that's literally free! Gotta try CDS--got the fixin's but have not yet taken the time ta "do it!"
A naturopath cardiologist enlightened me (pun intended:-). One of the things in her protocol was "red light." And she told me, "you'll hear a lot of talk about red light, it's very popular nowadays... But what's the most basic, or oldest, form of red light therapy? The sun!" she says. "Go out in the sun." So I started doing that, and serendipity... Robert's podcast on sunlight came out. I definitely think it helps, actually I think it can be curative to a degree. That's a subjective impression. If you think about it, it makes sense. FQT victims have cellular damage. Sunlight promotes cellular growth and repair (claim vetting pending - @Robert), so sunbathing I would say can definitely help reverse/repair some of the damage. I've been doing lots of sunbathing for the last two months, got a deep dark tan, and I certainly feel better. Other things that are a must: good uninterrupted sleep (7-9 hours?), fasting. I met a anti-iatrogenesis advocate and fasting practitioner who hasn't seen a doctor since 1964 and is 82 years young. He recommended "The Miracle of Fasting by Paul and Patricia Bragg." They take you through it at every step in easy to understand lanquage.
thx! will try the sun for... "enlightenment"--I do intermittent fasting (6 or 8 hour window) but are ya suggesting the other kind (few days at a time-kind?) -- it's also "on my list" but seems a lot more've a challenge!
Hi there. What is known by the buzzword "intermittent fasting" is absolutely nothing new at all. I've been doing it since my early 20s when the term wasn't around, I just called it "one meal a day." That’s the Buddhist system, for example. It’s one of their “precepts” or customs or whatever. Only one meal a day and no later than noon. To each his own; I'm not a fan of the 6-8 hour window, what works for me is one meal at one sitting EARLY (no latter than noon). What I am suggesting is... Read! Research! I'd dabbled with fasting since late teens, 24, 48, most I'd ever done was 72. But that anti-IG advocate's info triggered an epiphany: fasting is an age-old therapy/medicine, dating back to the Ancient Greeks. I had never gone beyond 72 hours, but just two weeks ago, I completed a seven day! Water only (okay I cheated with coffee and milk in the morning, that was it). I had heard how hard it was, fatigue, blah, blah. All I know is I felt great. Tons of energy. Yes, you need a bit of discipline, will power, to get thru the hunger pangs. But... they’re sporadic! Day two, and day four I felt them. But they don’t last. Check this out: https://youtube.com/shorts/3HSDjVljKoA?si=XmaMkuJJGeJGia6g
So... you might want to research and experiment. That’s why I mentioned the book. What works for me might not work for you. The one thing I was told is that there can be issues with long fasts (over 10 days, for example). 24 hours might be a good place to start. Then maybe 48. And so on. It's your body and your health, see what works for you. Me? I think fasting is hugely beneficial. Would be nice to have a podcast on it. Its history, practice in difference cultures.
And so... I keep finding and endless treasure trove of hidden medicine and/or dogma-busting alternative systems: heliotherapy, Bates (eye is not a static Nikon), carnivore diet, CDS and so on... There’s also the yukky one, urotherapy. And there are probably so many more. It is obvious that all these were buried when the allopaths took over.

wowee, lotta stuff there--thanx for all the links! you're kinda a rockstar then with this fastin' -- I'd try 24 as ya said... one "day" at a time -- 72 sounds like a helpful amount without wantin' ta chew on the woodwork--7 days? golly that's a marathon. I too am all for learnin' 'bout all the hidden health info. Been Weston Price (that's Sally Fallon's org) for a looong time, keto for the past 4-ish years, carnivore (lion diet!) is on the to-do list along with CDS. It's an uphill ride once "floxin'" happens--I SO wish I could reverse that one. Also I had a MRI post floxin' an' got GDD issues from that... "miles to go..." but at least there are options (or the urotherapy thing is big--I managed ta make a serum an' it actually cleared some eczema applied topically--but gettin' past the lips--ugh...not there yet!)
I vouch for this- in the 1990s I became deathly ill with a virulent e coli, and was given Cipro. It saved my life.

It seems that the diagnosis of "fibromyalgia" would coincide with "floxing"? No?
That's my contention. That "disease labels" have been concocted and slapped onto symptoms and injuries that were actually caused by FQs. Fibro, CFS, Lyme, etc. Since FQs can react with a lengthy delay from time of administration, delayed reactions are seldom tied back to the toxic drug, which makes the FQs very useful and profitable "disease generators."
from a reader:
Back in the early 2000's, I was seeing a physician who gave out fluoroquinols like they were candy. She gave them to me for sinus infections and bladder infections. I didn't seem to have any immediate problems with them but, one day when I was out walking on my lunch break, I felt something snap in my foot and I lost control of my footing. I fell and broke the fall with my hands. The pain in my foot was excruciating. I went to the same doctor and she said I sprained my foot. I insisted on an x ray and it turned out that I actually broke my foot. Also, I developed scoliosis and rib inflammation. I saw an orthopod and he said that I had scoliosis all my life. I did NOT.

I discussed osteoporosis drugs in Butchered..
You are right about the system, but many docs are sincere but overwhelmed
Levaquin caused serious skin side effects to me when used as an antibiotic years ago
If it was life or death I'd rather die than take that poison! Remember there are worse things than death.
I would not agree. I have multiple health issues I can't seem to get rid of.

floxie here--I'd sure love ta hear how some folks have found "cures"--I got floxxed in 2008 (after my youngest was born) for a minor scar infection an' my tendons MELTED--have pain daily (I ignore it)--my planar fascitis is mostly all healed since 'bout 2020 but my hands (joints/thumbs), elbows, knees--basically all the joints attached by tendons are a mess still--I don't heal or make collagen (I eat it tho!)... As it messed up my immune system THEN I got lyme (bullseye an' all, no question). Also, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos folks get it WORSE--that's me. Already we have loose tendons--ligaments so a short stint on Cipro (etc) does us in. My hands gave out using a TAPE DISPENSER one week into Cipro. I stopped it but it was too late. Taking vitamins + red light but not much help-- Stem cell therapy sounds pie in the sky unaffordable... cheaper options appreciated!
I was sun-adverse until I read Robert's sun podcast post. Staunch advocate now of heliotherapy. Makes perfect sense, as sunlight is what makes organisms grow. The sun is the most basic and cheapest form of red light therapy. But there are so many things that may or may not help, depending on each individual case. Magnesium supplementation seems to be the common foundation. Bathing, immersion in ocean water can be highly beneficial due to the rich minerals. Check out this trilogy:

Red Light Therapy: Miracle Medicine
I'm doin' daily methylene blue, got red light (do often)--have not tried mineral baths (we don't have a tub now) is the sun itself helping? If so do share... that's literally free! Gotta try CDS--got the fixin's but have not yet taken the time ta "do it!"
A naturopath cardiologist enlightened me (pun intended:-). One of the things in her protocol was "red light." And she told me, "you'll hear a lot of talk about red light, it's very popular nowadays... But what's the most basic, or oldest, form of red light therapy? The sun!" she says. "Go out in the sun." So I started doing that, and serendipity... Robert's podcast on sunlight came out. I definitely think it helps, actually I think it can be curative to a degree. That's a subjective impression. If you think about it, it makes sense. FQT victims have cellular damage. Sunlight promotes cellular growth and repair (claim vetting pending - @Robert), so sunbathing I would say can definitely help reverse/repair some of the damage. I've been doing lots of sunbathing for the last two months, got a deep dark tan, and I certainly feel better. Other things that are a must: good uninterrupted sleep (7-9 hours?), fasting. I met a anti-iatrogenesis advocate and fasting practitioner who hasn't seen a doctor since 1964 and is 82 years young. He recommended "The Miracle of Fasting by Paul and Patricia Bragg." They take you through it at every step in easy to understand lanquage.
thx! will try the sun for... "enlightenment"--I do intermittent fasting (6 or 8 hour window) but are ya suggesting the other kind (few days at a time-kind?) -- it's also "on my list" but seems a lot more've a challenge!
Hi there. What is known by the buzzword "intermittent fasting" is absolutely nothing new at all. I've been doing it since my early 20s when the term wasn't around, I just called it "one meal a day." That’s the Buddhist system, for example. It’s one of their “precepts” or customs or whatever. Only one meal a day and no later than noon. To each his own; I'm not a fan of the 6-8 hour window, what works for me is one meal at one sitting EARLY (no latter than noon). What I am suggesting is... Read! Research! I'd dabbled with fasting since late teens, 24, 48, most I'd ever done was 72. But that anti-IG advocate's info triggered an epiphany: fasting is an age-old therapy/medicine, dating back to the Ancient Greeks. I had never gone beyond 72 hours, but just two weeks ago, I completed a seven day! Water only (okay I cheated with coffee and milk in the morning, that was it). I had heard how hard it was, fatigue, blah, blah. All I know is I felt great. Tons of energy. Yes, you need a bit of discipline, will power, to get thru the hunger pangs. But... they’re sporadic! Day two, and day four I felt them. But they don’t last. Check this out: https://youtube.com/shorts/3HSDjVljKoA?si=XmaMkuJJGeJGia6g
So... you might want to research and experiment. That’s why I mentioned the book. What works for me might not work for you. The one thing I was told is that there can be issues with long fasts (over 10 days, for example). 24 hours might be a good place to start. Then maybe 48. And so on. It's your body and your health, see what works for you. Me? I think fasting is hugely beneficial. Would be nice to have a podcast on it. Its history, practice in difference cultures.
And so... I keep finding and endless treasure trove of hidden medicine and/or dogma-busting alternative systems: heliotherapy, Bates (eye is not a static Nikon), carnivore diet, CDS and so on... There’s also the yukky one, urotherapy. And there are probably so many more. It is obvious that all these were buried when the allopaths took over.

Quote: “The reason germ theory cannot be called germ FACT to this day, is because there are two very simple ways to prove it. Both have been done, and not only could they not prove it, but both disproved it.”
Chances are people are getting floxed (and stuffed with other non-chemo abx) over a bogus theory!
wowee, lotta stuff there--thanx for all the links! you're kinda a rockstar then with this fastin' -- I'd try 24 as ya said... one "day" at a time -- 72 sounds like a helpful amount without wantin' ta chew on the woodwork--7 days? golly that's a marathon. I too am all for learnin' 'bout all the hidden health info. Been Weston Price (that's Sally Fallon's org) for a looong time, keto for the past 4-ish years, carnivore (lion diet!) is on the to-do list along with CDS. It's an uphill ride once "floxin'" happens--I SO wish I could reverse that one. Also I had a MRI post floxin' an' got GDD issues from that... "miles to go..." but at least there are options (or the urotherapy thing is big--I managed ta make a serum an' it actually cleared some eczema applied topically--but gettin' past the lips--ugh...not there yet!)
chlorine dioxide might help and it's pennies
