Show appreciation

I want to express my sincere compassion for your situation - I truly am so sorry.  I know first-hand how debilitating, life-wrecking, frustrating, hopeless, and expensive this experience can be - I lived it, and still do.  It's as if a bomb went off in your body and unravels it cell after cell - a domino effect or run away train.  I prefer to not think of it as ruining my life and as a learning experience that I am 100% committed to fixing for myself and anyone else going through this.

I am not a doctor, I'm simply sharing resources to further your education if you have been floxed or think you may have been (important to check your medical records to see if you've consumed a fluoroquinolone antibiotic).  

What is being floxed?  Well, it's different for everyone it happens to, but basically at some point you put a fluoroquinolone antibiotic into your body (oral, IV, eye drops, or ear drops) and you start to break down at the cellular level, for some of us after the first dose.  Even the FDA issued a Black Box Warning for this class of medication due to its disabling side effects.   You can learn more about my Cipro journey by clicking on the "Donate" button at the top of this page, but here it is in a nut shell:  Misdiagnosed, prescribed Levaquin.  6 months later, misdiagnosed again, prescribed Cipro (5 day course) .  3 days into Cipro, elbow tendon burning, 2 days after Cipro back of knee tendon burning and full body muscle twitching started.  2 weeks after wheelchair required for mobility, extreme joint popping and ear ringing.  10 months later constant muscle burning and body tics, 2 years later, constant extreme hypnic jerks that lead to convulsions/seizures when sleeping, 2.5 years in lost partial vision in my right eye, most recently Vitiligo, and always... pain, pain, pain.  None of my symptoms have gone away - new ones pop up about every 6 months and I haven't been on "a walk" since Feb of 2022.  

Being floxed is also called Cipro Toxicity, Fluoroquinolone Toxicity, and Fluorquinolone Associated Disability (FQAD).  You can learn more HERE

List of Fluoroquinolones:  Ciprofloxacin (cipro), Levofloxacin (Levaquin), Moxifloxacin (Avelox), Ofloxacin (floxin), Norfloxacin (Noroxin), Gemifloxacin (Factive), Delafloxacin, and Gatifloxacin.  

We call it being "floxed" because all of these pharmaceutical drugs contain the word "flox" in them.  These drugs contain FLUORIDE molecules which science has shown is one of the leading causes of adverse affects  in the human body, hence, my "Floxie Rules".

Report it to the FDA:  ELECTRONIC FORM

Rule #1:  AVOID ALL FLUORIDE (natural and synthetic), which is a learning process for sure.  

Start Here:

Truth About Fluoride

Rule #2:  AVOID CREATING ADDITIONAL OXIDATIVE STRESS -  A few  holistic therapies can increase oxidative stress in the body (although many floxies have tried them with mixed outcomes).  Intravenous high dose vitamin C, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and ozone therapy are just a few to be aware of.

Rule #3:  GET PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE - This can be a tough one for sure, be careful who you listen to and make sure they understand FQAD.

Rule #4:  TEST DON'T GUESS - this is VERY Individualized, it's NOT a one-size fits all or "everybody needs this XYZ" - no.  Healing must happen at the cellular level and there may be something else going on in your body that is preventing this.  Know your numbers, cellular and serum, for: micronutrients, antioxidants, inflammatory markers, hormones, genetic SNPs and more.  Find and remove any/all infections and foreign invaders (mold, Lyme, yeast, etc.)  Start the rebuilding process with DATA.

Rule #5:  USE NATURE - lay in the sun, soak in the ocean, soak in mineral springs, breath fresh outdoor air - oxygen, minerals and the sun is nature's medicine and are FREE.  Use them :)

Rule #6:  GET THE FLUORIDE OUT OF YOUR CELLS/BODY - There is mixed information available about how to do this but 3 ways I agree with are (proven by science):  Iodine, Boron and Tamarind.  Do your research.

If you have been floxed or are a professional in the field helping those who are trying to recover from this devastating experience and have additional resources that can be added to this page, please do get in touch with me :)

This is a VERY individualized approach which requires professional guidance (see all resources on this page).  That being said Molecular Hydrogen to reverse oxidative stress (inhalation if possible), BPC-157, TB500, KPV peptides (to repair) Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG), Vitamin C, Magnesium, iodine, boron, tamarind, iron (maybe - test all your cellular micronutrients) are all very helpful.

Once logged in, it's a bit "markety" which I can't control - be sure to SCROLL DOWN to the "Your Wellness Journey's community plans"   and look for "Floxed Supplements".  

There are additional community plans I created that you can explore.

I will be adding more supplements to the "Floxed Supplements" plan on FullScript than I listed above due to what I have learned from "Unfloxed with Science".

1. Molecular Hydrogen

HYDRO HEAL

2.  Red Light Therapy

3. Infrared Sauna - IF your mineral status is normal (test).

4. Get Massages - I know, it can REALLY hurt to be touched, there are times when I cannot get these (1.5 year period straight at one point!)

5.  Stem Cells - IVs, injections, there's supplements out now too (StemRegen) and you can look into the free version using Urotherapy (learn more about this by researching urotherapy and Dr. Ed Group at Global Healing).
