Rene I’m glad that your Inflammation has/is reading. So is your ANA now normal with no Sjorgens? Thanks for sharing.

Rene I meant to say that I am glad your inflammation has subsided. I apologize I’m typing on my phone.

SOS – Hey Everyone the FDA is actively trying to confiscate supplements from the public.
Please check out this website it is our voice to counter the treachery of the FDA; http://www.anh-usa.org/
The Alliance for Natural Health is blessing and voice for all of us. Please check it out, and they will send you email alerts re: bills & legislation that is happening real time regarding our rights & protections concerning our food, water, supplements, and these tyrannical despots.
Don’t let the FDA take away your nutritional supplements.
The FDA is eroding our access to supplements through their cozy relationship with Big Pharma. Drug companies provide 60% of the FDA’s drug review costs, so the FDA has a vested interest in drug companies being prosperous—which includes getting rid of drugs’ biggest competition: supplements!
The FDA could release the next version of the New Dietary Ingredient guidance any moment now. The current version would remove more than 30,000 supplements from the market. And the agency is already working hard to remove an important B vitamin from the shelves.
Twenty years ago, Congress explicitly said that public access to dietary supplements should be encouraged—and that supplements would not have to go through FDA’s approval process the way drugs do. Today anti-supplement agitators are calling for a pre-approval system for supplements.
Everyone – The formatting for comments has been messed up lately. Some of the comments weren’t getting indented or lined up by date/time correctly. When that happens, all replies to those comments also get messed up and the only way to get things looking right again is to get rid of the comments. So, sadly, I deleted some of the comments on here. They were valuable and good comments and they weren’t deleted because of anything in them that I didn’t like. They were deleted simply because my site was being stupid and I don’t know a better way to fix it.
If there is anything that you want me to retrieve, please let me know. I can send you anything so that you can see and/or repost it.
I suspect that the problem occurs when comments are posted from mobile devices. You should be able to post comments from mobile devices on this site without incident – but the site isn’t working as it should – and comments are getting screwey.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

Has anyone experienced receding gums? I’ve noticed mine have begun receding since I took levaquin 14 months ago and is very pronounced right now. I went to the dentist a few months ago and he said there was no concern, but I know my gums better than him, bc he sees them twice a year. Not only are they receding, but they are also not gripping the teeth very well and are loose.
I’m torn about this medicine. I haven’t seen any improvement in 14 months. I’ve actually deteriorated more. I’m convinced it’s slowly killing me.

“zyflamend whole body and co q 10 both for inflammation”
Hi Angie, I dont know what “zyflamend” is…….Coq10 is very important for the (ATP) energy production inside cells….it is crucial for heart health…….which is why statin drugs are dangerous, because they deplete the stores of COQ10.
B12 is good but the “Form” is important….either Methylcobalamin or Adenocobalamin.
Cynocobalamin is useless to raise the levels…..that is offered by physicians who are ignorant.

Hi Rene – I enjoy reading your posts because they are so informative and positive. I am on my second day of supplementing with zyflamend whole body and co q 10 both for inflammation. Have you ever supplemented wih these and if so did it help you? I’m also taking vitamin d fish oil and b-12. Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks Rene! Was wondering what you have done in terms of treatments and supplements while being floxed? When you first got floxed (first few months) was your pain very severe and intense like in the joints and nerve pain. Did you happen to ever loss your appetite and have slow digestion/constipation? Sorry for all the questions but did you experience dry eyes, mouth and any eye twitches?
Thanks again Rene for all your help to all of us!

Rene – also I read in one of your previous posts that your hands has swelled. Was the swelling constant and how long did the swelling last. Thanks as always.

Damon peters it’s been about 10 months since being floxed. I began having joint pain immediately after taking just 2 pills. I do have some swelling in my hands accompanied by a pain. I just started supplementing a couple days ago as it’s been hard to try and find a doc that believed my symptoms are from floxing. Are you supplementing and if so wich supplements? Are you also experiencing swelling in your joints?
Angie

Hi Damonpeters. I took cipro 500 mg. I experience mostly joint pain. I was told that I have very high levels of inflammation. Also the front of my shins hurt. I immediately had popping noises in my joints. Do your hands constant hurt? Is it a aching feeling or sharp pain?

Hello, how’s everyone doing?
Angie

Also Hearher and Muchael. I just found a new doc that actually listened to me and stated that he has treated patients that had reactions to cipro with the same symptoms as me. So hopefully I’m going to give the supplementing a chance and PRAY that it works!

Sheryl my main problem is joint pain also. I’m going to get the magnesium tomorrow. I see you mentioned magnesium oil. Do you rub it on your skin or is it taken orally?
Angie

Thanks everybody for all the wonderful advice. I will let you all know how it goes with the magnesium.
Hey everyone,
Do you feel that the toxins are out of your body or do you think it remains in us for a long time? I was thinking that the Cipro left my body a long time ago and that it just left all this havoc.
Ha. I have a good one for you I think I disturb it every Mon and Thursday with chelation and Wednesday during chiropractor moving my bones/muscles.

Hello, Michael! I’m glad you are doing well. I’m doing better, also. Besides the fact that my visual disturbances are there, but just a few minor aches and pains but nothing too drastic. 🙂
Hey gang,
I have been taking Cats Claw and I was told that it has a connection to FQs? Can anyone give me some more information on this? I feel this supplement is helping me to improve and may be a step to an antidote to being floxed.
