I never thought I would see floxing in the tenuous political climate of 2016.
I normally stay away from political commentary unless it is directly related to the fluoroquinolone (FQ) travesty. My FQ advocacy is colorblind, neither leaning red nor blue as both share equal blame in the political failings behind the FDA and other issues which help contribute to the danger FQ’s pose to the general public.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that high profile Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton was prescribed 10 days of Levaquin by her doctor for a case of pneumonia (1). Once I heard this, her recent media reported, supposedly innocuous, medical events seem more understandable.
Now, I do not claim to be a medical authority by any means. Nor do I claim to know the nuances of Hillary Clinton’s medical conditions. But what I do know is that this presents us with a teachable and attention getting moment in the troubled history of the FQs.
As an amateur, personally educated in the horrors of FQ toxicity and its terrible aftermath, I see FQ connection written all over Hillary Clinton’s health issues, or at the very least, a compounding factor.
So my main question is “Has Hillary been floxed already?” Although I do not put a tremendous amount of stock in main stream press reports, as an arm chair quarterback, some of her symptoms could easily fall into the realm of floxing.
The Daily Caller interviewed long time FQ safety advocate and researcher Dr. Charles Bennett. Dr. Bennett said “It’s important to note that the event that occurred on Sunday could potentially be an adverse reaction with this drug.” Dr. Charles Bennett, oncologist and Endowed Chair in Medication Safety and Efficacy at the University of South Carolina..
“You don’t know why that event occurred, but it definitely was not normal,” Bennett added.
Levaquin’s side effects include “confusion,” an inability to walk, weakness and a lack of coordination, Bennett said. Those side effects can be permanent — even when taken as briefly as two days, Bennett continued (2).
Is Hillary’s doctor aware of the FQ contradictions? You would suspect that a presidential candidate would get top-notch medical care. And because of that, doctors at that level would be fully aware of the dangers of a FQ for someone such as Hillary. However, I know the opposite to be true. On average, most physicians, their status or facility connection not withstanding, woefully under- appreciate the penchant FQ’s have for permanent long lasting adverse events, especially in the geriatric population.
Hillary’s age puts her in the senior citizen realm. This increases certain risk factors for age related FQ adverse events. Again, I do not know her medical history, but given the risk/reward ratio presented by the FQ’s and her age, in addition to a possible complex medical history, I would definitely consider Levaquin a high risk gamble that could set her up for long term health problems. Problems, I might add, that would more than likely be blamed on age related conditions as opposed to floxing. However her recent collapse, although contributed to feeling poorly because of the pneumonia, could easily fall with the realm of a Levaquin adverse event.
One can only speculate; has Hillary joined the ranks of floxies? If so will she be one of the unfortunate ones who puts 100% faith in the medical establishment and never make the connection?
On a more positive note, this is a good high profile opportunity for us to continue to warn the general public, family and friends about the dangers of FQ’s.
However, if she has been floxed, she has a long hard road ahead of her. A road that, I would imagine, would make holding the office of President of the United States an impossible task.
Time will only tell!
I too suffered serious consequences following treatment with a quinolone drug. Too often doctors prescribe quinolone drugs and the worst warning you get is “you could get an upset stomach.” So I agree that this is a teachable moment for the public. But Hillary collapsed on the same day that she was diagnosed with Pneumonia (http://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2016/09/14/the-surprises-in-hillary-clintons-newly-released-medical-records/) and it’s unlikely she was even on Levaquin at the time of her collapse. Logically speaking it’s more likely she collapsed because of oxygen deprivation from the pneumonia. Let’s not jump to the irrational conclusion that she’s been floxxed because we don’t actually have any evidence. She could end up being perfectly fine. These drugs do save lives, but they are definitely NOT appropriately prescribed and their recipients are not given informed consent, and that’s my problem with them. Cipro probably saved my life. It also screwed up the one that I am fortunate to be living.
That’s right only time will tell. But apparently she was given Cipro I. The past too that may explain her blood clotting… Sadly not too many people escape as easily as that… Again time will tell.
She was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, 2 days later she collapsed. Took me two days to collapse.
The above comment by Zoe is in error. Hillary’s lack of coordination occurred on Sunday, Sept 11, her diagnosis of pneumonia was on Friday, Sept 9. It is very likely she had received 2 or 3 days of treatment with Levaquin by that time.
Hillary was diagnosed on Friday 9/9/16 and collapsed on Sunday 9/11/16. She had walked quite a distance without any apparent respiratory distress. I don’t think it was a case of oxygen deprivation.
Hahahahaha, I’m glad she is floxxed,that’s her karma for taking a $100 million dollar bribe from the mass murderer, Margaret Hamburg, both Hillary and Hamburg should be rotting in a prison, with Levaquin IV’s permanently attached to their evil, greedy arms, The Goldman Sachs lieawyers at the SEC, are allowing Mass murderer, Margaret Hamburg to earn billions of dollars in profits from the destruction of millions, the SEC told Hamburg, and, her hedge fund , artificial Intelligence creep of a husband, that they weren’t allowed to own any pharmaceutical stocks, so, they promptly invested a half billion dollars into Johnson and Johnson, makers of Levaquin, despite what the SEC told them , because, mass murdering eugenicist, Margaret Hamburg feels she deserves billions of dollars in profits, for being the most prolific mass murderer in the world, in a fit of despair and rage, i emailed a copy of her indictment to the SeC, along with numerous horrific stories of her dying victims, Igor a phone call from a man claiming his name was Bruce McNeil from the SEC, telling me that they needed me to be a whistleblower, I’m sorry, I’m already dying for Hamburg and Clinton’s greed, I don’t need to be murdered twice by Hillary, Margaret Hamburg is making billions of dollars in profits off of her $500 million dollar investment in Johnson and Johnson, I found out later , there is no one at the SeC named Bruce McNeil, and, at that time, 9 months ago, shehad earned 1.3 billion dollars from her investment into JOHNSON AND JOHNSON, now up to 2 billion dollars profit, no doubt, I want every floxxed person to let the SEC, and, the corrupt OIG at the SEC know how angry their complete corruption makes us, seriously, MARGARET HAMBURG IS A MASS MURDERING EUGENICIST, just like both of her hideous mass murdering parents, the SEC is happy to commit to paying her for her human depopulation agenda 21.
