The medical profession and its relation to fluoroquinolones and their use and knowledge of.
Have you taken a fluoroquinolone antibiotic such as Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), or Avelox (moxifloxacin)? Would you be willing to help in a survey-based medical research study?
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.
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.
Some in society argue its existence is necessary, saying it's power is needed to defeat an even more powerful enemy. But with great power comes great potential for damage; And when the cure becomes the disease, we have truly created a monster of epic proportions.
Fluorquinolone victims are engaged in a battle for survival on a battlefront that they never knew existed.
It is a shame in American today, that the patient knows more about a medical condition than the doctor. If that makes me obnoxious, then label me “guilty as charged!”, but forgive me if I don’t sit idly by while the doctor dismisses the information that I present to him/her.
This insidious response from the medication creates the perfect storm in which it disguises itself so the patient and the doctor do not associate the adverse reaction with the medication.
The Semmelweis effect takes place when a credible, articulate, intelligence patient presents a plausible mechanism for their medical problem, in the absence of any irrefutable diagnosis, and is dismissed by the medical establishment.
It is a paradoxical irony that we then must turn back to the same system that hurt us to attempt to troubleshoot our problem.
I wanted to document the information that links fluoroquinolones with the older anti-malarial drugs that were known to be very toxic.
I told my doctor that I have “no hidden agenda” and that if he comes up if irrefutable evidence of a particular disease or disorder then I will believe him, if not I want him to keep the possibility FQ damage as the cause of my symptoms.
