DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is about the powerful, sometimes lifesaving, yet sometimes highly destructive antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. Best known of these drugs are Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and Levaquin (levofloxacin), as well as four others. This book, How We Can Halt the Cipro and Levaquin Catastrophe: the Worst Medication Disaster in U.S. History, has two main goals. The first goal is to alert patients and doctors of the truly destructive capability of these drugs to cause serious, sometimes long term, sometimes permanent injuries. The capacity of these drugs for such damage has been attested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and others many times and is by now incontrovertible. Hundreds of patients, many of whom are quoted in this book, have confirmed their long-lasting injuries to me, while many hundreds more have been ignored or dismissed by their doctors. This must stop. Ignoring these problems has only made the problem worse. My second goal in writing How We Can Halt the Cipro and Levaquin Catastrophe: the Worst Medication Disaster in U.S. History is to stimulate the interest of government, the drug industry, medical institutions and all others for any and all ideas regarding remedies, solutions, and any other ideas that may help end the suffering experienced by patients with the Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome that can affect many human systems including the musculoskeletal, nervous, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, and others. As you will see, I have offered some ideas for therapies that may provide benefit to some of the injured. I think it is imperative that we follow a trail that may lead us to an understanding of how these drugs work and particularly how they injure, and most of all how we might help people heal, obtain pain reduction and hope. Thousands of lives, young and old, depend on the efforts that we make.
