Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Everyone, please be aware that Cipro and other fluoroquinolones are very risky drugs that often cause all sorts of permanent damage. Ellen My son was found to have Pseudonmonas eruginosa in his gut by having a CDSA (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis) done. This was back around 2003. He was being treated by an Integrative physician who used colloidal silver. But for this infection he used Cipro. If you do a search, you will find they are now using two antibiotics together to help avoid resistance. He was treated by a couple of physicians for what they termed Leaky Gut. But unfortunately for him, it did not cure his CFS, which we believe is tick born disease related, specifically Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia and Ehrlichia. BTW, when he received IV Rocephin and Zithromax for 8 months, his food allergies greatly improved as did his chemical sensitivities. Unfortunately, the fatigue hung on. If this was me, I would want antibiotics not colloidal silver for this infection. Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 These drugs can cause terrible nervous system damage, and I have read quite a few reports of people noticing problems as soon as several hours after taking their first dose. Many people's stories are so horrifying, that plain old CFS seems mild in comparison. It doesn't seem worth the risks. Ellen Re: Diagnosed with psuedomonas in gut... what now? Thank you, Ellen. If you are referring to the tendon damage that this class of antibiotics can cause, that would be less of a risk for a 7-10 day course. Long term use definitely is a risk. My son was on Levaquin long term. It helped his symptoms incredibly. But unfortunately it also starting causing tendon pain from his knees down. Thankfully, there was no permanent damage.
