Two years ago I was poisoned by an antibiotic called Cipro.
I took the antibiotic for a bladder infection, and with two days of taking
Cipro, I was nearly crippled. The pain in the balls of my feet was excruciating
and my hips, knees and ankles felt as though they would explode if I bent them.
MY skin felt as if it was on fire, and my brain was so fogged that I could not
even think.
I immediately sought medical advice, only to be told over
and over again, that there was nothing that they could do for me, and they had
no idea how long these “side effects” would last’ possibly forever. Two years
ago dancing was my profession and my passion. After being poisoned by Cipro,
walking was so painful that dancing was out of the question.
A dancing friend of mine, also a chiropractor and
kinesiologist, offered me some advice in trying to rid my body of the dangerous
floroquinolone, as well as advice on what to take and eat to help my body to
repair the damage done by the antibiotic. After several months, I was able to
get around better, and learn to dance on my heels. The hardest hit area for me
was the balls of my feet. For eighteen months, I wore braces on my ankles and
knees and walked and dance very carefully.
Since that time, I have been very mindful of what I eat and
have even taken to growing, canning and freezing my own fruits and vegetables. Gusseted
poly bags have been a great addition to my freezing practices because they
are able to stand up, and stay open all on their own. I also like the Ball
canning jars. Having home grown vegetable and fruit all year long is not only a
treat, but a very healthy alternative to eating over processed food that is
full of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
I also am eating eggs from chickens that belong to a friend;
I can hardly believe how yellow the yolks are. Now, if I can only bring myself
to raising my own poultry, meat and fish, you could call me a “real” farm girl!
