Publisher's Synopsis
While the hazards of taking too many antibiotics are now common knowledge, there is another danger of which the public is not aware. As beneficial as antibiotics can be, one widely prescribed family of these "wonder drugs" is highly destructive. Called fluoroquinolones, they are better known in the UK as Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Ofloxacin and Norfloxacin. This book exposes the truly destructive capability of these drugs, which have been shown to cause serious, sometimes long-term, even permanent injuries, including musculoskeletal and nervous system problems, psychiatric disorders, gastrointestinal distress and more. The US government's own watchdog agency, the FDA, has already warned about the capacity of these drugs to create such damage. However, the UK is far behind with regards to the warnings and guidance it issues in relation to these drugs. Hundreds of patients have confirmed their long-lasting injuries, while many more have been ignored by their own doctors. As the author shows, when physical harm is dismissed as a simple side effect, drug manufacturers are able to hide these problems from public view and dangerous drugs continue to be prescribed and used. The book, also, aims to provide safe remedies and solutions that can help end patients' suffering from serious side effects. The author first explains how these antibiotics work and particularly, how they cause injury. He then presents alternatives that can help reduce pain, clear up persistent antibiotic-based health issues and - just as important - give people hope. If you are wondering why you have experienced severe reactions to your antibiotics, this book will give you the answers you want as well as the help and guidance you need.
