The New Year brings a surprise for the FDA - a lawsuit filed by Public Citizen seeking to force the FDA to do its pretended job of protecting American citizens from the dangers of drugs. Of course, the real FDA job, as prioritized by top FDA management, is to protect the sales of Big Pharma and create new market opportunities for Big Pharma and Big Biotech while using Americans for experimental purposes.

The current suit revolves around the dangers of toxic fluoride-containing antibiotics. The two brand names involved are Johnson & Johnson's Levaquin and Bayer's Cipro. The German company, Bayer, has a long and colorful history of injuring Americans while its executives laugh all the way to the bank.

lyme doctors believe magnesium blocks the tendon probs..they said the manf. belived low mag was cause of tendon damage. I read a study claiming no patents under 65 in study exp any tendon damage..and most where taking high risk combos...asprin, cort. etc
But if you take mag with floq you will block its bene...have to space it out

That makes sense!!!!! I'm allergic to fluoride!!! Have been since I was in my teens and was given fluoride by a dentist.

No wonder I can't tolerate fluoroquinolones. UGH! why didn't someone explain the obvious to me!??

jamescase Google Levaquin experiences. You will see a lot of stories of people under 65 who have NOT tolerated Levaquin or Cipro very well.

One must be very informed when deciding to take any medication. Some have success, great success, some, as you will see do not.

Please be informed.

I havent ever believed in the fluoride theory and here is why: there is fluoride in many drugs. Before I was floxed with just 2 pills of fluoroquinolone, I had taken FLUvoxamine (which has fluoride too) for seven years without any problems. Unless the fluoride in fqs is somehow different kind, then it could be possible.
