Since our physiology is not static and things such as enzyme levels and trace mineral are in a constant state of flux, not to mention genetic variances, all which affect metabolization, combined with the fact that the FQ molecule is very complex, there is no way of determining if the same decomposed and identifiable compound will form an adduct in each person.
Although I knew darn well why I was there, this moment was very surreal for me, almost unbelievable.
I would have to say that we are one of the most complex subset of patients that can be seen by a physician. More often than not, we often leave the average physician scratching his head as to how to diagnose or treat our condition. Keeping that context in mind, I have determined that I will never see another nurse practitioner again.
Okay let’s face it, I don’t like taking medications any more than the next guy. However, it is an unfortunate fact that some floxed folks do have to take prescription medication. It is a guide to help those, who out of necessity find it necessary to obtain medication at a discount.
Many of us impacted by fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics fear having dental work post floxing. These fears can be justified because of the treatment standards employed by dental doctors.
I want to thank Dr. Mercola for challenging the traditional medical paradigms that exist and bring a public platform to get the facts out about these and other dangerous medications.
Just learning if adductions exist or not is not the end, just the opposite, it would open up a vast array of questions, resulting in the need for far more research. If you are looking with an unbiased filter you will see a highly heterogeneous mix of results.There may end up being one cause, but there definitely is not one destination.
Glutathione, considered by some to be the body's master anti-oxidant, is involved amino acid transport, protein synthesis, the cell cycle, and plays integral role in methylation.
Probiotics can be powerful substances that can exert a strong influence on the host person and like everything carry a small but measurable risk.
Only this last year, with renewed genetic information at hand, desperation to change my failing health, and access to a researcher and personal physician that were willing to help, I was able to start researching more in-depth my own personal health issues as they related to methylation.
One of the results of nervous system damage or changescan be gastro-intestinal tract gastroparesis or dysmotility. Gastroparesis is a complex term for delayed stomach emptying which can be caused by the autonomic nervous system changes that can be done by the fluoroquinolones.
If the patient never connects the dots he/she may never uncover what the root cause of his/her mysterious illness is, or are given a default diagnosis that is a "catch all" for the medical community. Considering the day and age that we live in, it is one of the greatest medical travesties, that is of monumental proportions, that is continually being perpetrated on innocent individuals.
Although amino acids are indeed natural, it doesn’t mean that they’re always safe... I think that, at times, some FQ sufferers assume that since amino acids are present in food, that they are benign and would not suspect them to cause problems.
One of the many activities curtailed by having an adverse reaction to fluoroquinolone is physical exercise. For most FQ sufferers, there comes a point in their reaction timeline when they choose to start integrating a physical exercise regimen into their road back.
I also know, as psychological creatures, we can allow this unwelcome visitor more power than it actually deserves, thereby making our battle with insomnia an even greater one.
