Prevent being floxed
Hello,Please help me figure out how to prevent any adverse effects from the levofloxacin I took the past two days. I only found out tonight what serious permanent side effects can occur, not just now (I have no side effects yet) but in the future. I was taking it for a mild lung infection.
The side effects are known as "FLOXing" I have been taking NAC, Vit E, Iron, Magnesium supplements tonight to try to treat and prevent the levaquin from affecting me.
I'm female, 51, have adenomyosis, am athletic but out of shape due to the years of heavy bleeding, am quiet sensitive solitary and generally happy. Health wise I have been doing well by eating very healthy and trying to get sleep and some exercise. Now I am worried I will get these side effects in the future - even the warnings from the drug makers note that some side effects can occur months later.
From what I am reading now, the problem may be that this is fluoride - essentially I ingested 2 of these pills which and "Fluoroquinolones have fluoride as a central part of the drug. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin, and drugs with an attached fluoride can penetrate into very sensitive tissues."

Edit: Also, this drug apparently may alter the DNA of the mitochondria in a person's cells, just as it would the bacteria. Then that causes slow destruction of human tissues. One most common result is the cartilage is eaten away and then tendons rupture without warning. So there would be no symptoms until it is too late.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi,
Remedies are taken for real time symptoms. Remedies work if correct,
Because they match enough symptoms . The human body will not allow 2 similar problems.
Therefore when a remedy is a good match , the body sees it as "similar"
Reaction of the body is to boost the life force to clear out the similar remedy and the real disease/symptoms are healed too.
You cannot do anything in advance-
Medicines will cause problems as there is no "match."
Continue to boost your system as you are doing.

Please help - post-fluoroquinolone Tinnitus:
I developed worse tinnitus with the drug but thought it was getting better but it is still there and loud enough to interfere with hearing. It is a very high pitch, like the high pitch whine you would hear from a CRT old style computer monitor. It is constant.
I tried graphites for it since that was one i had on hand. It didn't seem to help.

Thank you so much.
I have those remedies you suggest on my list and will order them asap.
I am also working on using the nutritional and supplement support from the book, "The Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Solution." One thing they emphasize is that fluoroquinolones attach to and remove magnesium all over the body including the brain, tendons, cartilage, bone, muscle etc and that we have to take huge amounts of Magnesium to replace it and keep taking it for months if not years. So I have found the best magnesium I can and taking it throughout the day and before bed. Today and two days ago, that seemed to have almost stopped the additional tinnitus, but it comes back, possibly due to continuing magnesium deficiency in my tissues.
One thing is certain: levofloxacin, levaquin, cipro, avelox, and all the other fluoroquinolones do severe damage to the human body through many mechanisms. This is now being researched and admitted by the scientists who study it. They think it alters DNA in the mitochondria and possibly the main DNA of the human cells. They also know it removes magnesium (and likely other minerals as well) and they know it slowly damages the tendons and other connective tissue everywhere in the body, including the heart. They do not know why some are affected quickly and severely and others only notice the effects months or years later, but they have some starting hypotheses. Needless to say, it does so much damage in such insidious ways that they will never have a cure for it. So supporting the natural healing abilities of one's body is the best hope.
I am grateful that, so far, the damage done to me seems to be mild compared to the hundreds of thousands who are suffering severe pain and disability from it. Some are hypothesizing that Gulf War Syndrome and Fibromyalgia may be caused by fluoroquinolone use.
I am also very grateful to all the natural health people available online such as yourselves.
