And an article with a short,and not at all complete list of medicines containing fluoride:
I noted Paroxitine,another favorit medicine of my doctor,is also on this list.She must be a real fluoride enthousiast,ánd fluoride expert.Wanted to prescribe me this dangerous anti depressiva off-list for “sleeping a bit better” both times she tried,I refused.
Cipro,Flecainide Acetate and Paroxitine;the only three medicines,prescribed to me in the last 10 years contain fluoride!

Hello,
Does anybody have experience with detoxing with sauna or ion footbaths?
Any idea if it helps release the toxins?
Thanks

Any thoughts on possible connection between heavy metals and being floxed?
Thanks

Thank you, do you have experience with sauna or ion foot baths to detox heavy metals?
Anne, chlorella is supposed to help remove metals. You have to take it everyday and build up.

Dee. Message is from me “Dee”. I was told to start with 1 very small tab then increase every 3-4 days by one tab. My homeopathic Doc wants me up to 30 a day. I don’t even come close to that. Anyway…according to him it helps detox metal Mercury. Maybe why he suggest 30 tabs it is the brand he recommends? “BioPure” Chlorella. The tabs are very small.

Anne, I had Genova nutritional testing done before I was floxed. The results said I was moderate in metals. I did not do any kind of treatment. I am terrible at taking my clorella as it is so much. To be honest metal toxicity has been the least of my worries since being floxed a year in a half ago although I’m sure it would help your healing to detox metals. Just something I chose not to do for now.

L. I thought. I remember you saying that you took the product “Restore”?? If so, what was your experience with it? I just started taking it and I’ve read some people have issues with it and to start slow if you have digestive issues like I do with leaky gut, IBS etc. How did you take it and did you have good results? I also read not to take it with probiotics?? Which I have been doing not knowing that!! I’ve been taking 1 teaspoon twice a day but thinking I should cut back to make sure I don’t react. I did ok with it for awhile but this morning woke up with a horrible attack of diarrhea and had taken a diffeeeny new Probiotic the last couple of days. Probably that was a mistake??!!

Has anyone tried IV vitamin boost? I am suffering from very bad twitching and fatigue so decided to invest into an IV today. Unfortunately, I have seen no improvement in energy levels at all.
Does anyone have any ideas of the best way to get energy levels back up. Many thanks

L. Thanks for the info on Restore. I have taken it for a month and seemed like it helped my urgent bathroom in the morning get somewhat better. I don’t know why I had such a bad bout of diarrhea this morning? I will not take the new probiotics I took the last couple of days and will start up the Restore in a couple of days at lower dose and no probiotics. The article you attached did suggest taking it with no prebiotic, probiotics or digestive enzymes for it to do a better job. Thanks for the info! As you know this recovery is trial and error and definetly a roller coaster ride!!! I am a year in a half out now and “slowly” getting better. Didn’t you say you felt mostly recovered at a year in a half or was it longer???

L,
I read the link you posted on Restore and then checked comments on amazon. Anyhow, I wanted to let you know they make a nasal spray, and the reviews were really good for relieving sinus.

Has anyone else experienced continuous ear buzzing ? Mine have been buzzing for 4-5 weeks now and the noise is driving me mad.
Uhm..I’ve read many others European news like this, after the EMA hearing. Let’s see if in a year from now, we’ll see a drastic reduction in the use of FQs. I doubt it, seriously. These dummies are still prescribing them like candies. I don’t get it. There’re many warnings, today , here in Europe, we also have an offccial restirction, but yet, “urinary tract infection? Cipro!”…

Here’s my tought :
Id’ like to see how many people would take FQs if the doctor who’s prescribing it would tell them like this “Ok, I’ll give these pills for your sinusitis. They’re pretty safe, I use them all the time. Oh, just one thing. There’s a 10/15 % chance your health would be completely destroyed for the rest of your life, even after just one pill. You could experience permanent nerve damage, DNA/mitochondrial alteration, excruciating pain all over your body, hearing issues, sight issues, tendonds rupture even if your sitting on your chair, insomnia, digestive issues etc. It’s basically a russian roulette you’re playing” They should put something like this on the warning label instead of ” Just don’t do any physical activity for the time you’re taking the medication, and don’t expose yourself to the sun, and then you’ll be good to go” like that idiot told me 2 years ago…

Hi all,
I’ve just gotten a new mattress (Stearns and Foster – traditional spring + one layer of memory foam on top) and was sleeping on it well for a few weeks but have just started feeling a relapse of my FQ symptoms. They seem especially bad right when I wake up. Mostly neurological-type stuff — head pressure, brain fog, dizziness, muscle twitching. They continue throughout the day. It feels like I’ve had a brand new reaction.
I know that some people are concerned about toxic chemicals/materials in standard mattresses, but I never imagined it would give me an actual relapse/new reaction!? Is that crazy? Has anyone else felt worse from a mattress? Or perhaps it is because my body is in sort of a different alignment as I sleep?
I can’t imagine what else it could be. I have been on the same diet for quite awhile now (paleo, all organic, try to limit fluoride as much as possible) and the diet has not changed. I’ve been working out more, but that has been ongoing since July. The only major change in my life in the last several weeks has been the mattress.
Any insight?

Hi guys, how long did it take for you to feel normal again? How many months?
Just wanted to thank you for Lactospore recommendation. First lactobacillus pills that I don’t vomit.
Thank you!

I posted yesterday about my new mattress nightmare, but I just can’t help but vent a little more. The tendons in my legs are now rapidly becoming more and more sore each hour, which have no bothered me to this extent in years. In addition to terrible brain fog, head pressure, twitching and tingling.
This is CRAZY. I have not taken a Fluoroquinolone since 2009, nearly a decade. And a MATTRESS is giving me a relapse? Seriously, excuse my language, but what the fuck.
I thought worst case scenario a new mattress would give me a sniffle or a headache. But it is bringing back all of my FQ symptoms?!? Why!?!? Even when I am way from the mattress for most of the day my symptoms are progressing. This makes no sense, but there is nothing else that I can imagine is causing this. Unreal. I’m so careful with my diet and my daily activities and have been going strong for a long time. It’s like the universe just had to find some way to hit me again.

My relative was prescribed these ATB (Ofloxacin) so she asked me which ATB gave me these horrendous side effects. I advised to see another doctor for second opinion and another doctor gave her the same ATB but with different name (Ciprfloxin). Although she fits almost all the precautions inside the drug list.
To my own surprise she was fit 15 years ago, now she can barely walk and wakes up in horrendous pain, just learned that she took these ATBS numerous times and already had some knee operations, but she told me she was going to take them anyway :(.
