It should be illegal to classify fluoroquinolones as antibiotics. The point of an antibiotic is that it specifically targets bacterial cells while doing no damage to multicellular organisms. Fluoroquinolones indiscriminately damage everything they touch, so they're just a really fancy and strange poison. They don't just rupture tendons, people will often experience waves of intense pain throughout their entire body for the rest of their life from the damage done to their nervous system. Many suspect that "gulf war illness" was in fact soldiers reacting to fluoroquinolone "antibiotics" which they were the guinea pigs for. Always check the acting component of an antibiotic that a doctor prescribes to you, and if it contains fluoroquinolones then you should frankly treat their act of prescribing it to you as barely any different than a murder attempt.
- refurb 7y agoThis is an unreasonable position to take. Every drug has off target effects, that’s why they have side effects. Oncology drugs, particularly chemo, attacks pretty much every cell in your body. That doesn’t mean they aren’t effective.
