A word of warning....... CIPRO

[Guest guest]

I wanted to give you all a heads up on this drug. It is an antibiotic but not like any other. I was prescribed this yesterday for a bad UTI. Unfortunately Dr. Brownstein was traveling and we could not connect for 2 days so in a desperate attempt to relieve my pain I went to the Urgent Care center.

My cousin was the doc that was on the floor so I got him (surprise). When I asked for Bactrim he stated that was an "Old drug" and that CIPRO was better because it was more broad spectrum. So I took his advice (DUMB!) and when I returned home from the pharmacy Dr. Brownstein called me. He asked if I was OK and if I had done anything yet. I told him the rx I got and I sensed hesitation in his voice. He told me to call him if I needed him for anything. I agreed and hung up. Now I hadn't taken my meds yet. So I ate breakfast and then at 10:30 I took my first dose of 500 mgs.

Fast forward 1 hour. I am running my garage sale by myself. My friend just left and my husband was out for a while. I have about 10 people in my garage and I am starting to freak out. Anxiety, panic, I can't breath. I try to make change and I can't figure it out. I did one order - with a calculator 3 times. My husband finally comes and I tell him that I have to get out of there and I burst into tears. I text message Dr. B with a 911 that I need help and then call my cousin who tells me he has never heard of that issue. Dr. B calls me and tells me that it happens in 50% of the people who take it to varying degrees. So I get my Batrim rx from him and he feels bad for not telling me there may be a problem but since some are OK he hesitated. I tell him it is OK.

I get on the internet and find out that this is the drug for ANTHRAX, is a fluoride based drug and does have severe neurological issues in many people. Why the heck do they give this for a UTI??? The best part was that it was free - through our local Meijer so I didn't waste my money on it. It could have been worse. Many have suicidal thoughts with this and 83 have reported to have died from it.

So I will take lots of iodine to push that fluoride crap out. I am feeling "wiggy" today as a result of it. Hopefully it will pass. WAP has a good write up on it http://www.westonaprice.org/healthissues/cipro.html Had I known I would have said NO!

I wanted to spare you all from this nightmare I endured yesterday. It isn't good for those of use to get such a high dose of fluoride either when we are trying to get it out.
