Dr. Jack Kruse's ideas on the mechanisms of Fluoroquinolone Toxicity. This is an above average read for many, but some great ideas can be gleaned from it.
Every once in a while I get the dubious honor of talking to a doctor who has been floxed. This conversation was a poignant example of dangerous the FQ's are in our society
One culprit that is often overlooked in chronic Fluoroquinolone toxicity is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO.
If doctors and politicians only see the watered down messages they will not be motivated to change the status quo and more than likely it will be perpetuated indefinitely.

A simple three step action that logically links FQ’s to the ability to initiate delayed adverse "late effect" reactions. There are no grand leaps of faith or conjecture required to link the steps.
Unfortunately, and more often than not, I have seen a cash strapped floxies pay out $1000 or more in consulting fees and walk away no healthier than they were when they started out and many times more frustrated, confused, and definitely lighter in the pocketbook.
