When I got floxed in 2011 there was less than 1/10th the information about fluoroquinolone toxicity available that there is now. The information available about fluoroquinolone toxicity has increased exponentially over the last few years–and with increasing information comes greater acknowledgement of the problem, empowerment of those going through fluoroquinolone toxicity, and more. I am grateful to everyone (both the scientists and doctors, whose acknowledgment is necessary for change, and also those citizen-scientists and hackers—who are trying to figure out what happened in their bodies) who have contributed their time, expertise, and sleuthing abilities, to gather and synthesize information about fluoroquinolone toxicity to share with others! We truly have come a long way.

The amount of information available about fluoroquinolone toxicity is getting to a point where it is somewhat overwhelming. People are now asking, “Where do I start?” because a starting point isn’t evident.

Here are my suggestions for where to start:

First, read through the recovery stories on www.floxiehope.com. Every healing story is different. The journey through fluoroquinolone toxicity has not been the same for any two people. Even though each story is different, each story has some valuable wisdom and guidance in it. As you’re reading through the stories, I suggest that you write down the healing tips and steps that resonate with you. Try those things one-by-one and see if they work as well for you as they do for the person who recovered from fluoroquinolone toxicity and wrote the story.

Second, the ebook, The Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Solution*, has helped many people through fluoroquinolone toxicity, including Ruth, Cindy, Lizzy and Daniel. It gives particularly good guidance for those looking for supplements to help them to heal from fluoroquinolone toxicity.

You can find support, guidance and advice through many web sites and social-media groups. Comments on the home page of floxiehope.com are typically responded to quickly and there is a wealth of information in the past comments. The Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Group on Facebook is also an excellent resource for support and information that also has years of helpful posts stored on it. (Try not to get overwhelmed by these sites, and if you do get overwhelmed by them, I recommend that you step away from them until you are emotionally able to handle being on them.)

The Floxie Food Guide: Guidelines for Recovery from Fluoroquinolone Toxicity contains information about diets that have helped people through fluoroquinolone toxicity. (Renee was helped immensely by The Wahls Protocol by Dr. Terry Wahls). It also contains guidance for foods to eat to help your mitochondria to heal, your gut microbiome to heal, and also foods that are full of minerals that fluoroquinolones deplete. (Note – You now get The Floxie Food Guide along with the purchase of The Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Solution. Yay! Please click on the link below to get both. Thanks!)

I wrote the following posts to give people basic information about fluoroquinolone toxicity:

Additionally, the post, Articles About Fluoroquinolone Toxicity to Give to Your Doctor, links to several articles about fluoroquinolone toxicity that give a good overview of the condition. More articles can also be found on the Links & Resources page of floxiehope.com (but there are literally hundreds of articles linked to on that page, and the amount of information there can be overwhelming).

There are doctors who have helped people through fluoroquinolone toxicity. If you find a good doctor who you trust to be your guide, he or she can be incredibly valuable. many floxies have been helped by naturopaths and functional medicine doctors. You can find a functional medicine doctor in your area through The Institute for Functional Medicine.

Those are the initial steps I recommend for gathering information on how to recover from fluoroquinolone toxicity. I wish that there were a single cure, or method, or procedure, that helped everyone to recover from fluoroquinolone toxicity. It would be nice if we could say, “take ___ milligrams of ____ per day for ___ days and you will recover,” or “eat _____ and _____ for breakfast and you will recover,” or, “Do _____ exercises and you will recover,” but we can’t say those things because there is no one single cure for fluoroquinolone toxicity. There is, however, recovery from fluoroquinolone toxicity for many people—and there is information that is helpful for your recovery journey throughout this site and other places on the internet.

I hope this post gives you some help with direction.

Please let me know if you need assistance. Hang in there.
