Cipro Destroys Collagen

One might wonder what this has to do with Cipro poisoning, so this is my belief; I am not a doctor and I do not have scientific proof, however, I do believe that the Cipro not only damaged the collagen in my feet, but also my face!

Do you suppose our parents felt the same way about aging that we do, or do you suppose that since there were not so many options available, that they just accepted the inevitable graciously? I think that the next time that I visit my mother, I shall ask her. The only “beauty” ritual that I ever witnessed my mother doing was putting Ponds Cold Cream on her face.

Today, with all of the advertisements to shed decades from your face, it isn’t a wonder that when we look into the mirror, that we long for a more youthful appearance. It also seems that I am seeing fewer and fewer advertisements for full, surgical face lifts and more and more ads for things such as laser treatments, botox and restilylane.  

Another treatment that used to only be available in the plastic surgeons office is LED light treatment. The light treatment is supposed to firm and tone your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize your pores, correct color pigmentation, fade scars, erase sun damage and clear acne. All of those are good things, if you ask me. I understand that these treatments can be very costly in a doctor’s office, but with the Baby Quasar, you can administer these treatments to yourself, right at home. Sometimes, I think, that if I were to win the lottery, I would purchase one of these little gadgets just to see whether it really worked or not. Fortunately, it does come with a money back guaranteed clause. So, if you give it a try and look ten years younger, please let me know!

Collagen And Cell Extracts; Could They Be An Answer To Our Prayers?

I believe my dear mothers' downward spiral began with Cipro!

There has been quite a lot of controversy over exactly just what Cipro does to damage a body’s muscles, joints and tendons. There seems to be even less known about what can be done to reverse the damage. I believe that all involved agree that floroquinolones can damage and destroy collagen. I also believe that Cipro may destroy the sheath that surrounds your muscles and tendons.

 I wholeheartedly believe that Cipro caused the padding on the balls of my feet to completely disintegrate and that at one time, I was literally walking with the bones of my feet directly against the floor. It was extremely painful to take even one step. After taking 2000 mg of Vitamin C every day for four to five months, I began to notice some improvement.  I understand that Vitamin C can promote collagen production and I often wonder if that has been what has helped to restore at least some of the padding on the balls of my feet.

While searching for more information on collagen production, I ran across this site that produces cell extract for a variety of uses. I have heard the term cell extract in the past, relating to laboratories actually growing skin from cells, to use on patients with extreme burns or other injuries. I do not know their effectiveness in rejuvenating the collagen, inside of our bodies, due to the damage sustained by the side effects of floroquinolones, but I certainly wish that someone would begin to research this avenue since no one in the medical field seems to have any suggestions, remedies or protocol on just how to handle the thousands of us that have been either permanently or temporarily crippled by this class of antibiotics.

Maybe someday, someone will have an answer for all of us that have been inadvertently damaged by antibiotics that are labeled as “not a first drug of choice”: oddly enough the two times that I was prescribed Cipro, it was not only a first drug of choice, it was the only choice given to me. I was not warned of the damaging side effects, despite the current black box warning attached to Cipro. Come on medical professionals, start abiding by the guidelines that have been given to you and stop handing out Cipro, Avelox and Levaquinn as though they were candy.
