EXTREMELY SMALL, SAFE AMOUNTS OF ELECTRICITY (A FEW THOUSANDTHS OF AN AMPERE) HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE BEYOND THE TOLERANCE LEVEL OF PATHOGENIC LIFE FORMS; AND HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO KILL OR DEVITALIZE HIV, HERPES, TUBERCULOSIS, HEPATITIS, COLDS, FLU, AND OTHER VIRUSES, FUNGI, PARASITES, AND BACTERIA IN BLOOD AND BODY FLUID RENDERING THEM INEFFECTIVE TO INFECT OR AFFECT NORMAL HEALTHY CELLS, WHILE MAINTAINING THE BIOLOGICAL USEFULNESS OF THE BLOOD AND OTHER BODY FLUIDS. DOCTORS AT ALBERT EINSTEIN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE IN NEW YORK CITY HAVE PROVEN THAT MINUTE ELECTRICAL CURRENTS RENDER INEFFECTIVE ANY BACTERIUM, VIRUS, FUNGUS OR PARASITE WITHOUT HARM TO BLOOD OR BODY FLUID; THE DOCTORS REPORT THAT THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY USED IS NO MORE THAN TWO THOUSANDTHS OF AN AMPERE; quote.
The easiest way is to use a small nine volt battery, you put a wet cloth under your wrist and tap the wet cloth constantly for about five minutes and rest five minutes, you´ll do this three times a day, you should drink plenty of water.
I have a tens unit and i use it everyday to keep the bugs at bay.

Hello, has anyone who has taken cipro been diagnosed with Tarlov cysts? These cysts appear on the spine. Not much is known but they can be dangerous. One correlation I’ve found is that these cysts are common in people who have connective tissue issues and we all know this crap cipro damages connective tissue. Please respond back. Thanks.

Hello. Just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with tarlov cysts on their spine? I took cipro for 20 days , 500mg twice daily. These cysts are dangerous and can cause debilitating side effects and are common in people with connective tissue disorders. Since we all know that cipro causes connective tissuedamage I was wondering if mine are cussed by cipro. Diagnosis is via MRI.

How the future will view us an our Medicines. I am watching “The Danish Girl,” and they’re giving the individual Lili, treatments of radiation therapy(literally endless Xrays) for an their intersex disease.
At the time radiation therapy was seen as a cure all… The future they will see these type of medicines as about the same thing I assume.
I need help, been praying, tired of not living a normal life. I believe in Jesus and I am addicted to Pepsi now. I have always smoked. I don’t believe in vaccines to much but was cosmetology for 30 years. They asked if I had Fermis shot because of spider bite 5 years ago. I have mthfr and spider ate something frosting to a eat. And I have seen and felt this thing crawl in my stomach. First it started in the chest. It is affecting my organs and skin and blood cells. I am sorry but I have no money right now because of all the doctors. Please call 8164918975, its under my husband’s email.
Just say that that you are lisa. And if I can’t answer please call back or leave number. Sincerely and God Bless, Becki
Hi just want to let people know. It can get better. I have had some exceptionally bleak days in the last two years. Six years after a double course of Cipro. Took more than a year to have any idea of what was causing all the intense tendon pain and soreness. More troubles developed later, but.I choose to fight!! I fight the muscle tremors and the cramps. I strategize and prepare before I begin to have body temperature regulation trouble. I stay vigilant preparing for the next sneak attack so that I can defeat it at the first sign. I have code words I can use in public to let my wife know I need help. I pray and sincerely ask God to heal me. I ask Him for the strength to forgive those who have trespased against me over and over and over again.
Do not forget your life has a special purpose. A purpose and a cause that you must not let the enemy keep you from. The enemy comes to.steal, kill, and destroy. Sound familar? Sound like a “Black-Box Warning”?
NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP. Take and celebrate every single victory. No matter how small!!! Enough small victories put together wins the war!!! We will prevail.

So I went to my naturopath and once I move and get financials in order I am going to try a detox called Unda. You need to go to a homeopath/ unda specialist for this. It is a very gentle and safe detox that gets into your body and can be used for a variety of other issues from kidneys to liver. Also I spoke to him about issues that I had from trying to detox on my own and would like to give a warning to everyone out there doing their own detoxes that are going unmonitored don’t do it. He said you are never supposed to feel extreme weakness fevers or flu like symptom from a detox. He also said messing around with cannibus detoxes without going to a cannibus expert is not a good idea. There is a science to cannibus detoxes and in my case was very bad for me. So I just want to share this because while it’s nice that we have this place to share ideas I always recommend following up with a naturopath or homeopath always. While everyone’s intentions are to help everyone else heal and get our lives back unless they are a naturopath or homeopath it could cause unintentional harm. Once I am able to try unda I will let everyone know how the process is going and if it works for me. Again I was given a truck load of these medications within a small period of time. So again maybe someone else can handle general detoxes but I cannot and they are dangerous for me.

Holly I would try to see a naturopath if i were you and ask them about ozone therapy as an option. Ozone therapy is being used in Germany, Cuba and Italy with very good results for all typse of infections, in the u.s. only naturopaths can use it.
I was using my tens unit to fight the herpes and got an outbreak none the less, I did research on herpes and ozone and found that i could treat it, i began doing rectal ozone insufflations two days ago and i feel much better.

The last three days I’ve had terrible cramping and charlie horses in my calves and feet. It happens when I wake up and stretch, happens when I walk, happens when I’m sitting around,, not going away, but at some times worse than others. Happening to a lesser degree in shoulders, arms and hands as well. Anyone else had this as part of long term flox symptoms? I took my last Cipro the last day of February : / and still having several flox symptoms since…

Rest..rest..rest…no overuse of any part of your body that is painful. Raise your feet on a stool while sitting down always. Use icepacks wherever you have pain. Not sure what supplements you are on, but vitamin c 2000 mg is a good start . Remember to drink plenty of water to flush excess vit c out and avoid causing kidney stones.
Has anyone had more visible/protruding veins on their feet, hands and arms after flox? Im 7 weeks out. More symptoms just keep coming.. Trying to maintain a grip of reality but honestly every day I feel like im in a parallell world. Guess it’s the derealization.

I’ve read about alot of people that have worsening pains after the meds. I too am experiencing sore joints and soreness in general that I never used to have. I used to run daily! On top of my hair loss. What frustrates me the most is getting blown off by docs. They want to blame it on age or stress & if it’s not a textbook symptom they can explain- it must be in our heads. Anyone else fed up with this mentality??? I’m to the point where I’m becoming very blunt when I have an appointment and I ask for specific tests even if they don’t agree at first. No one else is going to advocate for me so I figure I have to do what I can…

Jane,
Tests are a waste of time because they don’t test for the right things ie magnesium levels and tests down to the cellular level. I had exrays, blood, ultrasound, rehabilitation, and WORSE OF ALL A NERVE TEST, this caused a MASSIVE FLARE UP OF PN AND PAIN. They dont have a clue, I have been treated like an idiot, and told they can’t do anything. They poison you then they dont have any answers. I will NOT HAVE ANY MORE TESTS BECAUSE THEY WONT FIND ANYTHING. I have been doing this for two years, now they can get stuffed.
I have done the fluroquine toxicity protocol of vits minerals and added a few of my own through researching how to heal the mitochondria, which I believe is the answer and also to heal depleated oxigen levels caused by cipro stress, which ozone autohemotherapy is great for among many other things.It’s the only thing thats working for me at the moment.
I am definately done with Doctors that are to lazy to get off their asses and do the research of how they can heal people of this crap.
They are not interested, they just want to keep dishing out chemicals that hurt and harm people.
They are not healer’s in any way shape or form.
Intergrated Doctors are the way to go, but of course that costs money, still in my opinion they are generally worth it if, and I say if, you get the right one.
You are certainly right about looking after your own health cause they wont.
Hope you recover soon,
Hugs,

Question for the group – has anyone undergone surgery post floxing or taken an antibiotic other than FQ’s? If so, were there any major side effects or relapses?
I was floxed a little over 2 years ago, and for the most part, aside from some lingering stiffness/pain/degradation in my Achilles and hamstring tendons, I have actually recovered very nicely. I am, however, suffering from a chronic pilonidal abscess – literally a pain in the butt. The only real definitive solution for it is a surgical procedure, unless you’re lucky and able to manage it. I have not been able to thus far. I have pretty much avoided most medication since I was floxed and am now nervous to have any anesthesia or antibiotic treatment as part of it. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experiences they could share.
I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

I just got floxed earlier this week following a bout of salmonella poisoning I was hospitalized for. I have all of muscle and nerve issues and I am freaked out this will be permanent. Also dealing with hives yesterday and then today these reddish splotchy sores popping up on my legs. They aren’t the hives like I get yesterday, these don’t itch, but are painful to the touch and raised and firm — did anyone else have these skin issues?? What is that???

Has anyone heard of cellgevity from Max International or Penetrix cream?. Have you had any success with them? I am 14 months out from taking cipro…I was feeling like I was almost recovered and 6 weeks ago I started a downward spiral and all symptoms have returned. I am begining to become too overwhelmed and having problems getting to work and caring fory children. Did anyone develop carpal tunnel like pain and numbness in the fingers. Help!
