Here is one of the best Youtube videos I have ever seen. Definitely better and more impactful than the Levaquin videos I made. This is presented by Bob who has done a great job in helping to spread the message of the dangers of this class of antibiotics. I talked to Bob on the phone a little over a week ago and he is doing a great job in helping to inform the public on fluoroquinolone toxicity. I hope he keeps up the outstanding work he does. This video needs to be shared and forwarded to as many people as possible.
Need antibiotics for an infection?

Excellent video Bob. I just have one issue with it. I really think the true numbers of people affected adversely for long periods of time by the Fluoroquinolones is more like 1 in 100 instead of the 1 in 1,000 that is mentioned in this video.
Even the drug makers themselves have stated that severe adverse reactions only happened with 1% – 2% of people that take a Fluoroquinolone. If that is true, then at least one person in every 50 – 100 people would have a severe reaction to FQs.
I personally think the numbers are even higher than the 1% – 2% for people that had a so-called “mild” reaction that only laid them up for a few months. Funny how they call it a “mild reaction if it only lasts a few months. A few months doesn’t seem like a mild reaction to the person that is suffering for those few months. Even people that get better in a couple of years are considered mild. A couple of years out of your life, especially when you are in pain, is NOT a mild reaction to me.
That is life altering time you will never get back. Many times that couple of years happens at a very inopportune time in a persons life and can change the course of that life for the worse. Lost opportunities, jobs, marriages. The bottom line is that these drugs can completely disrupt, if not ruin lives.
Gary Thanks for the comment
I have used the numbers that were stated as fact by a representative of ortho Mcneil. You are probably right that the numbers are greater I wish i knew the real numbers.
I have a very personal reason for this video which is not just limited to my personal suffering.
This drug has robbed me of my middle age and warped me in to old age. I feel like my life is in ever decreasing circles all for an infection that never was.
I feel so sorry for my wife who had such enthusiasm on a future house move that is most likely never gonner happen and is stuck with an invalid in the making.
What stinks the most and is the hardest bit to swallow is the eggshells you have to walk on when you approach the Doctors for treatment.
The ignorance is so widespread it beggars belief.
I just hope this video opens peoples eyes.
