Here’s a great article from Dr. Mercola,about our Endocannabinoid System and Human Health.Some of the info might be very usefull for Floxies! Great info in the comments,as well!
After having tried in vain to visit the bobbeck.com website several times,during the last couple of weeks,I found this message on FB:
Erzsebet Jung “The website is not accessible, it says “You do not have permission to view this directory or page.”

Bob Beck Protocol
Bob Beck Protocol “Thanks for checking in with us – Our website at http://www.bobbeck.com is undergoing some changes and reorganizing – we promise to get it up and running as soon as everything is squared away. It may be a while, but we’ll do our best to speed things along.”
So,for anyone,interested in info about Bob Beck and his protocol:you’ll have to wait a few weeks before the website is back online.
There is real hope for floxed. I want to tell you the true story of my sister. She is in her early forties, with two children. She took care of two children while working full-time until she could no longer work because she was bed-ridden.
It all started three years ago, when she got a bladder infection. The doctors gave her Levoquin. At first she felt better. But within three weeks after stopping the antibiotic, she felt all her energy drain. She also got intense joint and muscle pains and other problems, like anxiety and panic attacks. Then a month later she had one of her ankle tendons rupture. She had no idea what was going on with her. Then another tendon ruptured. Then she got brain fog, she could not think right, and her memory stopped working.
My wife and I did what we could. At first we took her to the doctor and was referred to specialist. But the doctors had no idea what was going on. They said she was making it up. But we know her. She is a real trooper, she never breaks down, and this whole thing wasn’t like her. She had the surgeries. They gave her more drugs, ibuprofen and steroids. This made her worse, and she went downhill until she finally was bedridden and could not walk at all. They said they had no idea what was going on with her. But they had more drugs for her! One doctor even wanted to make an appointment for her with a psychiatrist!
We had enough and did our own research. We found out about fluoroquinolones, and what these drugs can do to you. The Levoquin had made her sick, months after she took it! Since the doctors did not believe her, she now tried natural things. She changed her diet. She went to an acupuncturist, and took all sorts of herbs and supplements. She took magnesium, and glutathione. They helped some, but she got only a little improvement. She still could not work. She was now also running out of money. Our church prayed for her. Then she came across a story about HomeoCipro on this website.
We contacted the folks at HomeopathicAssociates.com. Dr Mueller and his wife explained how homeopathic treatment and HomeoLevoquin could help her body fix itself. The Muellers had treated hundreds of floxed cases that have completely recovered. She started the treatment over the phone and was better and out of bed within a month. She got to where she could work again. Then after about five months later, she could no longer afford the treatment and decided to stop taking the medicines. She got worse again, within a month she was bedridden again.
She called Dr. Mueller, and he to explained that the treatment had not had time to make the full repairs, that so far, it only had improved her functions, and that with continued treatment she could probably recover. She went back to taking the medicines, and in about a year she completely recovered. She is now off the treatment, back to working full time, and says she feels completely back to normal and can even exercise regularly again with no trouble.

For those who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease, these articles discuss a new treatment that has been described by some as a miracle cure. It is not an antibiotic either, but rather a drug used for treating alcohol abuse. (Who would have thought?)
Some lyme patients that have been dependent on antibiotics for years are reporting full remissions.
Anyone know if it’s a good idea to take a supplement in liquid-form (drops) which contains vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) and vitamin A (palmitate)? My concern lies primarily with the vitamin A palmitate as I’ve heard it might be health-damaging to the kidneys and other organs? Is this valid? Also, vitamin K2 has the letters ‘quin’ in it which worries me since the word fluoroquinolones contains ‘quin’ as well. Is this form of K2 and A something to be worried about?
My vitamin D levels came back low so I’m trying to supplement and I figured a supplement with K2 would be beneficial for better absorption but I’m worried about it making things worse because of the aforementioned forms of the vitamins, palmitate and menaquinone-7.
Here’s some additional information…
Each Serving (0.25 mL) Contains:
Vitamin A (palmitate) – 151 mcg RAE/EAR – 500 IU
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – 25 mcg – 1000 IU
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) – 50 mcg
Saff, I’m hoping you still check here? You told me you reacted to Lidocaine and the relapse lasted 3 months?? It has been 5 weeks for me and I seem to still be reacting? My skin is reacting the most with small fiber neuropathy including burning and “itching”!! I continue to break out in very small red itchy bumps especially by the two spots that were cut out. Was your relapse pretty bad and did it completely go away??? I’m worrying about this symptom not leaving?? The lidocaine actually gave me some dermatitis by the cut out spots too and both my Derma and Primary Doc want to give me steroid cream which I refused. I just don’t know what to do for my itchy red bumps and skin??? One of my Docs suggested Claritin to combat possible allergic reaction? Have not tried it yet? Any ideas, suggestions from anyone is welcome!! Do you think this reaction will settle down in time??? I am 2.5 years out and was doing pretty well until this mess!! All from 2 “tiny” shots of Lidocaine!! Geez!!!! Just want this to pass!!!!
Henk, the idea behind the Claritin was if I was having an allergic reaction to the lidocaine hence causing the skin breakouts, itching etc. I was having none of these issues prior to the lidocaine…..I have not taken it as of yet but from what I know most floxies do ok on a anti histamine and don’t have problems??? Obviously my body was extremely sensitive to the lidocaine but after 5 weeks I was wondering now if it triggered some kind of Floxie relapse??? Very strange reaction to small amount of lidocaine!!?? I sure hope it will ease up! Thanks for your suggestions on the topical treatments!
Nicole, thank you for your info about your reaction!! I am super happy to hear that it subsided after 3 months!! One other guy on this site said he had a reaction too that subsided in about 3 months so I will keep my fingers crossed!! I think I will try a child Claritin to make sure I seem ok with it and I “hope” it might settle some of this burning and itching down some!!!! You do give me some hope!! Thank you!!!! Sorry to hear you struggled with it back then but it sounds like you might be getting less sensitive as time goes on??? That would be a plus too!!!! I was hoping that are sensitivities calm down with time???????????????????
You all are most likely right that the lidocaine is probably past the point of giving me a reaction now. I do think it might have “triggered” some FQ symptoms so I’m thinking I am having a relapse???? “If” that is the case I hope it will be short lived!!! I will try the Claritin (a children’s dose) to see how I do with it? Hopefully it might calm down the itching??? These symptoms only came on after the lidocaine but like you it seems crazy I would still be having a reaction to it after 5 weeks!?? It must have triggered relapse symptoms???? Sooooooo frustrating all this is!!!!
Madge. I wonder why you broke out in hives?? As we all know once you have been floxed we get all sorts of surprises!!!!! Anyway, I still haven’t tried the Claritin!! I guess I have paranoia!!! I haven’t heard of Floxie’s really having problems with antihistamines?? I need to get brave and try a small dose to calm this damn itching!!!!
Has anyone on here had a negative reaction to zinc??? I just started on 50mg earlier this week….since then I have been very lightheaded and now experiencing all the muscle pain once again. I haven’t read anything about adverse effects on zinc, other than too much for a long time can deplete copper…which can lead to anemia and ataxia 🙁
Madge, I hope you feel better soon. I know we are all walking on a tightrope trying to keep everything in balance. It is so frustrating trying to figure out what to take, what not to take and try to maintain some kind of normalcy in our life!! I am trying to get past this relapse or reaction to lidocaine!! It just doesn’t seem to be letting up much!! I feel like bees are stinging me and just itchy skin in different areas. I guess the lidocaine triggered a neuropathy relapse or some kind of long term allergic reaction? Just mind boggling and I was feeling so much better before those stupid lidocaine shots!! Argh!! I hope it doesn’t last too long!!?? It is worrying me since it has been going on for 5 weeks!! It just seems so crazy that a small amount of lidocaine would cause all these symptoms to ramp up so much???!!! Anyway, praying it will settle down soon! Madge, I hope things calm down for you too and I don’t blame you for not wanting a hip surgery. Try to hang in there as long as you can with your hip situation!!
Madge, I take Claritin without the decongestant and it doesn’t seem to make me tired? The Reditabs that melt in your mouth. Maybe worth a try??? Thanks for the encouragement. I hope this relapse goes away soon too!! Damn Lidocaine! I won’t be having that ever again!!
We gotta keep on keeping on!! I’m not a youngster either. I am 63 so healing I’m sure will take me longer. But I don’t give up! I try to keep the faith that I will eventually get there!!!
A Coleman, I think you are pretty right on with the 4 factors affecting recovery! Even the flox report (which is old) but I think had a lot of good and accurate information states that the dosage and length of time is very significant to reacting and recovering! We all know there are exceptions when a person reacts very severely to very few pills or low dosage but my guess is that you have a better chance to recover if you took a smaller low dosage treatment. Age was also a factor in the report and believe it or not if you are in your 40s your chances were good to recover! I am 63 and was floxed at 61. I have maybe recovered 80% as far as feeling half normal compared to the first couple of years. I still am struggling with relapses and some lingering symptoms plus new ones from that damn Lidocaine that was given to me 6 weeks ago and seemed to trigger skin issues etc. Anyway even though I know I will heal at a much slower rate then even a 40 year old I still try to hold out hope that I will eventually complete or mostly heal! We gotta have faith and I hope this 63 year old body will stay in the race for me!!! I hope with time I’m not so sensitive to medications (like lidocaine) so I don’t have to be so scared to use a medication if needed. Example….yesterday I had to have another skin growth (which is another new thing) removed and the Derma cut it out with no lidocaine! Ouch!!! Just ridiculous!!! One little small shot of lidocaine makes me react!!?? Go figure!!! Thank you Cipro!!!! Sorry for that….Rant over! My hope is that all of us keep getting better with every week, month and year!!! ????????????????
Henk. Are you trying the Pau D’ Arco right now? I just read about it on Mercola. It looks like something that would help our damaged cells??? If so, how long have you been taking it?? I wonder if in when it helps repair how long it might take to start working??
Happy Thanksgiving!!????????
I pray everyone is at least doing better.
