People Who Tried to Kill Me.

Mum and Dad, the minute I popped out of Mum – had my first, second hand smoke. I had infections up until I was 14 and addicted to cigarettes. At 9 or 10, the Doc. removed my tonsils & adenoids which I believe are part of the Immune system. At 17 – 18 I started asthma, due to smoking & used Ventolin which also relaxes the muscles at the base of the tongue, which when sleeping on my back, flops over & blocks the windpipe, stopping breathing, the most terrifying thing ever. Also started steroids which causes cataracts which I had removed years later which caused double eyelids which makes me feel sleepy. 33 my left lung collapsed. The Doc. sucked it up again & all was OK but then the tube popped of the sucker, and a nurse placed it back on the pumping side, pumping in to my chest two litres of water, mercurochrome, & some other chemical, causing extreme pain. 34 the right lung collapsed, thanks Mum & Dad and the Gov. that loves cigarette tax$. At 50 in Thailand felt ectopic heart beat. Hospital wanted to insert a machine, I refused & it cleared up.

At around 70 in Thailand got hit by a car & received two breaks in the jaw bone & one in the thin leg bone. The first hospital had no x-ray for the jaw so went to the best hospital in BKK, BNH where I was asked for money first & bargained three times. I told them no ICU. Woke in ICU, hands chained to the bed rails out of reach of the call button & with an oxy mask that was suffocating me. Couldn't call but rattled my chains. ‘Help' arrived. 83, went to a hospital in Trang for 10 minutes, just to ask a question, left with acute sinus & chest infection, after two days went to ‘my' doctor & the bastard gave me Ciprofloxacin antibiotic poison which I took for two days then returned the pill poisons.

Just those two days – 4000mg caused me more harm than anything previous. It is plain & simple fluoride, which is designed to cause brain fog, susceptiveness & many aches & pains. Makes good slaves. I was lucky or clever because I have been eating Hydrated Magnesium Chloride and Lugols Iodine for 2 years plus, and I believe this helped defend me from Bayers steel boot. I cant believe how the planets slaves just sit back and take the pain and suffering dealt out by the Big Pharmas steel boots. Look at how they have set up just three other steel boots to ban the use of herbal products. Codex Alimentarius, Therapeutic Goods Act and the FDA, all to increase their income and not a thought for the citizens. This is why we cant buy H202, Iodine plus heaps more. Sound like war to you does it? No? Well more humans are killed by doctors, hospitals and medicines that in all the wars ever. Every year. Non de Plume

Thanx for the post, John.

Yes, there is plenty bad in this world but there is also lots of good. One must be a warrior to "make thru the world - if you can" -Van Morrison. The little verse from Jim Morrison reflects your sentiment quite well saying "Naked we come and bruised we go. Nude pastry for the slow, soft worms below."

Try to find time for healing remedies here on E.C. as there are many, and you can surely improve the quality of your life.

Hi -- Ted mentions that if there is UTI to take a teasp of celtic salt which he has done several times. Good results immediately.

So I did the same when I suspected UTI and indeed immediately it was gone. What a wonderful, easy remedy.I would not dream of using antibiotics. Thank you Ted.

Namaste, Om

Hello Rebel,

Re: Father's BP/possible SJS...

The fact your dad was given the antibiotics in the first place indicated the Doctor was trying to deal with an infection of some kind.

If you google "Stevens Johnson syndrome virus" you can find a PubMed 1996 article on SJS and another similar syndrome .... third sentence in the article, "Viral triggers are known triggers of these skins disorders."

I guessing...dad had a stomach virus (and likely still does which is the reason for the stomach pain)...he was given antibiotic which does not kill virus. Either or both the virus and the antibiotic (reaction to the med is also considered a cause of SJS) resulted in SJS symptoms...and the BP spiking might be a result of the system trying to deal with the new SJS development.

So need to get the underlying cause (likely cause) under control. Numerous anti viral supplements to consider. Echinacea in water and orally consume over many days; olive leaf powder capsules is an anti viral and anti fungal. My favorite is Colloidal Silver.

I'd use two tablespoons of CS three times daily on empty stomach for a full month and monitor result. I'd also treat this condition like a stomach ulcer situation. So I'd also take DGL (licorice extract) and quarter cup of a good quality Aloe Vera to heal burn.

But the main thing is to kill the presumed virus.

I suspect that your dad has had a magnesium deficiency for awhile. High blood pressure is a symptom of low magnesium.

If he was given a tetracycline, penicillin or gentamicin as the first antibiotic that seemed to push him over the edge, then it is very likely magnesium deficiency is at least part of the problem, because these antibiotics deplete magnesium.

High blood pressure and cramping are the symptoms that make me suspect magnesium loss as the culprit for this episode. Google antibiotics and mineral depletion, as well as the name of his bload pressure medicine to get an idea as to what vitamins are being depleted

Thank you OM, Dave and Nanowriter. I had read on Ted's remedies about the magnesium and Royal Jelly. My dad is not back from the doctor yet, but this is what he is taken right now. Approx 750mg magnesium, 600mg CoQ10 1000mg milk thistle twice daily. He is real hard to talk to about remedies. He has this believe that everything he takes, makes his prostate hurt.

I mentioned the sea salt before he ever went to the medical doctor, but he lagged around and would not take it. He went medical route and now has more problems.

In the past when he had a lot of prostate problems, I had him taking Essiac Tea. His PSA had gotten really high and he went in for biopsy to check for cancer. No cancer was found, thankfully. But after no cancer was found he stopped taking the tea. His says, he did not believe the tea helped him, but it did bring down his BP, Triglycerides and cholesterol while he was taking it. So why he is so hard headed is beyond me.

I will keep you all posted after I know more about what the medi doc told him. Again Thank you all.

So my dad had went to medi doc on Wed 7-16-14 and was told to give BPM time to work and come back in a week. His BP continued to rise and he finally went to ER today. They changed his BP meds and says he still has urinary tract infection. They sent him home with BP being 190 over 105 and says this is not a danger level.

Well they told me when mine was just 150 over 90 that I might just drop dead and needed BP meds as fast as possible. Boy, these doctors. They tell him they see people with levels of 300 over 150 sometimes and to give his new BP med time to work and his heart is good. They also gave him another antibiotic for urinary tract infection.

Close to the same scenario w/ me couple yrs back. I got some basic diagnostics plus the hbp reading and was discharged w/ the recommendation to visit primary care Dr.At that point in time I was never able to make so much as an afternoon appointment so about 3 months pass and I experience a very bad night and have someone take me to ER about 7:00am w/ hbp reading higher than previous. I was prescribed Lisinopril and went back home w/ some assistance (many other issues going on). The meds helped immediately but not enough.

I too was having urinary track/kidney problems and by a stroke of good fortune received a mail order of D-Mannose and took about 1/2 spoon immediately and within 1/2 hr was back on my feet again and stabilized enough to care for myself. I find the D-Mannose much easeyer to stomouch as the Cranberry was often to acidic and harsh. For best results I fallow either of the two aforementioned w/ Dr Christopher's Kidney/Bladder herbal combination. The herb Chaparral is also a good Kidney as well as Liver cleanser which I take periodically. A strong Magnet Therapy directly over the liver also lowers my bp reading.

Wondering if Colostrum would help you in your healing process? Wishing you well!

Hello, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Colloidal silver is good for immunity and can be bought as an inhaler. Food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted in distilled water can also be inhaled or spritzed into your nose and throat or swallowed 3 hrs after eating. Iodine either from kelp or lugols works well too just in water or juice as indicated on bottle. Super dosing vitamin C and other minerals and vitamins. Apple cider vinegar in water or juice. Really there are many ways to fight your infection.

Avoid certain foods that depress immunity such as artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, sugar and fried foods. Good sources of probiotic bacteria are found in kimchee, sauerkraut, kefir, probiotic yogurt, apple cider vinegar. Check out other posts regarding viruses and detoxing. There are some really amazing tips here that can change your life! Wishing you well again soon!

I had a dental fistula it required oral surgery I reluctantly accepted antibiotics from my MD putting me on clindamycin for 5 weeks. I researched Clindamycin and was shocked, it should be taken off the market I decided I do some things to offset the side effects.

My MD also gave me doctor gave me Saccharomyces boulardi and therelac not to be mistaken with threelac . I also took floraster and vital 10 which is in the billions. The word probiotic orgin is greek, "For Life." We need this to protect our bodies. I take the probiotics 4 times a day . I also empty a few of the capsules into a couple cups of sterlized warm water in my yogurt maker the temperature of yogurt makers are generally 110 . If If don't own a yogurt maker you can put it in the warming oven at 110. Then let it sit for 8 to 10 hours and let the probiotics bacteria will begin to multiply into the billions and trillions. This is the biggest bang for your buck! Then before bed after you have a BM or an enema your colon is clear. Lay down two big soft towels in your bathroom. Then take the probiotic water content put in an enema bag and then let the content drain into your colon. If your not physically comprimised then do a shoulder stand on the soft towel this allows the probiotics water to go deep into the colon, then lay down on the towel and roll all the way around, and hold for thirty minutes and then empty. For the greatest benefits, hold some of probiotics water in the colon overnight. I also would put some of the probiotics water solution in a glass and water bottle and drink it throughout the day and eat non lactose kefir as well. Also consider the anti candida diet for a few months when taking antibiotic this keeps the bad bugs from growing. Take vitamin C vitamin helps tissue regenerate, and vitamin B protects your digestion and works with probotics. Take Glutamine helps heal your stomach lining. Aloe vera juice helps soothe and heal the stomach. Take colustrum or transfer factor multi immune this is what new born babies get from their mothers, it is truly amazing one of the natures greatest protectors . Eat kimchi sauerkraut and garlic

Antibiotic can cause seious side effects months later, it seems the risks of taking antibiotics, may far outweight the benefits. In certain cases, you must take it. When a MD prescribes antibiotics do NOT just accept the pills, this your options tell them you want the antibiotics in a shot or get IV antibiotics this way your controlling what happens to your body and your in charge! It is damage control and your stomach doesn't get torn up, this way. Even this method has side effects.

My Naturopathic is also a MD, she told me they can prescribe natural alternatives that have next to no side effects and that plant microbials are more powerful than any synthetic man-made antibiotics I totally believe it. Some case studies are out there. Be well

I seem to do well when taking minocin and amoxicillin. even my stomach flora seems to do well. I won't take any others due to the severe effect they have. I took minocin (not minocycline) for two years with no ill effect for experimentation purposes. it started curing my fibromyalgia that I had for over 30 years within days. I have been cured for 15 years.

I keep amoxicillin on hand to either nip dental problem in the bud or buy time for alternatives. this has worked for me so far. I'd like to try to find a natural alternative to amoxicillin that is just as effective. Any suggestions?

Cipro has fluoroquinolones in which is the chemical, fluoride atoms which causes fluoride poisoning. Not to scare you Cipro can cause tendons to snap, even months after you take it! Once people get educated on fluoride it's dangers it will not be allowed in the water medicine or toothpaste. Best approach is to see a ND and immediately start working on a detoxificatation, and they can assist the liver that apparently is overwhelmed by the fluoride poisoning.

I can't move my hand properly after taking a week of antibiotics after an animal bite. The doctor says I need to re-educate! What rot. It's a tendonitis provoked by antiobiotic. Will it go away? This is scary. 5 Months on now....

I also am allergic to a few medicines. About 15 years ago I was given the medicine called Reglan. Not long after I took it my stomach started knotting up and cramping real bad. It did that for a whole day and went back to the Dr. and he said I was having an allergic reaction. I'm also allergic to Compensene, it caused my tongue to stick out and my throat to swell. So if you're allergic to one kind of medicine, you probably will be with another. It is important to get your bowells cleaned out as toxins can make you very sick. Hope you get better soon.

I had a similar thing happen to me. I think it could be that the antibiotics (or steroids or whatever) can damage the stomach and kill the good bacteria in it.

It can also cause leaky gut syndrome or candida. You have a damaged immune system and then all sorts can happen. I have started to take probiotics every day (it is cheaper to take a good tablet each day than take the yoghurt) plus OMEGA 3, plus kale, selenium, vitamin c, garlic and feverfew for my headaches which are caused by inflammation in my forehead I never got before! Doctors do not understand or even accept this.

I have not seen any study done on this.

However there is a lot of controversy over what antibiotics, hormones in meats, as well as growth hormone given to cows to increase milk production does to us. I have also read that exposure to opposite gender hormones in utero or infancy may be cause of homosexuality (one time), no further study.

There is a lot of controversy over whether antibiotics given to food chain animals cause allergic reactions to those eating the meat from these animals.

Personally, it seems that we should be more concerned with what the monosodium glutamate (MSG), aspartame and other toxins in food chain and water supply does to our brains and central nervous systems, as well as the effect it has on the entire body. If you are not familiar with the damage done by these toxins, type "excitotoxins" in your search window and educate yourself quickly before more damage is done to your system. Alzheimers Disease is hitting people in their 30's now, and those without a family history of Alzheimers. Search "Metabolic Syndrome X" to find out what it does to the body in general. You will find that the two major excitotoxins mentioned above cause our bodies to kick out excess insulin which is the beginning of Metabolic Syndrome X (called Insulin Resistance by orthodox medicine) which ends with Diabetes type 2 and all its end stage complications.

Have also read that early sexual development can be attributed to fluorescent lighting quite awhile back. If this is so what, is going to happen as we move more into fluorescent lighting to conserve energy?

Another problem with antibiotics and hormones that many people still don't know, is that antibiotics can cancel the efficacy of birth control pills, thereby causing an unwanted pregnancy. Fortunately, most pregnancies that occur while taking birth control pills, have chromosomal mutations that cause spontaneous early abortion.

I also recently read that when you see sodium benzoate (a very common preservative in our food chain, especially in all carbonated beverages, is converted into benzene by the addition of Vitamin C, and benzene is very toxic.

What did you take to flush out your liver?

Flagyl is bad. It causes yeast infection. There is a product used in Nepal for diarrhea. It is used mostly by tourists to be protected. It is natural and it has been tested against many bacterias. Give it a try. Best regards.

Yes, I had a reaction to Flagyl as well... Numbness in legs, hands, face... Went to ER to get checked out for stroke since I knew strokes need immediate attention. CT scans showed all was normal, and I was diagnosed with a reaction to the Flagyl... Numbness was there for almost 3 months off and on. Seems to have stopped now, but microbiome has been affected severely for over a year now. Trying to rebuild microbiome and avoid antibiotics for sure!

I am so sorry to hear this. What a heartbreak for a mother.

Thank you for taking time to warn others.

Mary, they say there is not antidote; they mean there is no known one. No one could possibly rule out every possible remedy that could help.

He could try activated charcoal. It removes toxins from the body. 4 capsules twice a day, 2 hours away from any medication. I would give it at least a month.

Also, exercise will help your body release toxins through the skin. It is also a natural anti-depressant. Youtube has a million options for every level of experience.

If that is not an option, perhaps a sauna is? To sweat out the toxins?

My adult kids are all into cold showers and ice baths and polar plunges. They say it helps the immune system. I wouldn't be surprised if cold showers would help with toxicity and depression as well.

I hope you find something to help him. He is very blessed to have a caring mom.

Love,

~Mama to Many~

Hi Mary –

Here is an interesting website for those who were poisoned ("floxied") by fluoroquinolone drugs (like Cipro and Levaquin).

I believe these antibiotics (and the generic versions) now have black box warnings on them.

Floxie Hope poisoned by fluoroquinolone guide

https://floxiehope.com/floxie-hope-poisoned-by-fluoroquinolone-guide/

There are lots of recovery stories, resources, links, presentations, etc.

What works for one person may not work for another but there is a lot of information from real people who suffered the side effects of these drugs.

I wish you and your son the very best on the journey back to health.

Take care.

Hi Mary,

I thought I would try and give you some more hope for your son. I know well the fluoroquinolone medicines like Levaquin and Ciprofloxicin(aka Cipro). If you look at Levaquin and Cipro in Wikipedia you will see that they both contain at least one atom of Fluorine, which is a well known poison. Taking large amounts of flourine everyday in drug form will also completely wreck the body's thyroid gland. The flourine can also be stored in the thyroid, bidy tissues and bones. This will generate low thyroid or low iodine symptoms.

Low thyroid symptoms: low energy, fatigue, depression, brain fog, unable to think clearly, tired all the time, weight gain, sensitive to the the cold, dry skin and hair, muscle aches, digestive problems

So all we have to do is find some way of removing or replacing the fluorine currently in your son's body. And you should be able to remove the fluorine in his body over time by taking The Iodine Protocol -- the iodine will act to remove and replace the fluorine stored throughout your son's body. Iodine also removes heavy metals like cadmium, lead, mercury, aluminum and also helps to remove bromine from the body. This protocol will take some time to remove all the fluorine -- particularly the fluorine stored in the fat and stored in the bones. It may take up to a year to completely remove all the fluorine from your son's body.

Please also remember that Lugol's Iodine (or Iodoral) does many other beneficial things for the body. I remember when I first took high dose Lugol's Iodine(50mg per day) for my systemic candida problem, my brain fog completely cleared within a week. I could sleep without problems and think clearly again. I was much happier!

Please also be aware that it's very likely that your son will have a Herxheimer reaction when he first starts the protocol -- which is normal. If that's the case then please don't stop the iodine protocol -- just lower the dose for a while and then raise the dose again when he eventually comes out of it.

In the end, I decided that both Cipro and Levaquin are really just a glorified form of antibiotic chemotherapy. And what does the chemo do? Yes, it might kill bacteria, viruses and parasites but I've also read that fluorine can also cause human cell necrosis(cell death!) in your body tissues.

Another disturbing fact for you. Ciprofloxacin is on the WHO's List of Essential Medicines.

I've also read that there have been a huge number of complaints(think court cases!!) against the manufacturers of Ciprofloxacin and Levaquin such that the FDA is now "considering" withdrawing these two drugs as a recommended hospital drug. By the way, I read that 6 years ago ... 😖
