As Thomas Edison implied, illness is NOT due to a Deficiency in Medications.
Today's Topic: Antibiotics and Depression Antibiotics and Candida - Unexplained Symptoms Antibiotics and Breast Cancer How YOU Can/Must Get Out Of the Vicious Cycle
"Chaos demands to be recognized and experienced before letting itself be converted into a new order." "To see what is right, and not do it, is want of courage, or of principle." "Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment." Barry LePatner "Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day." "You have to stop in order to change direction." Recently I received the following e-mail from a desperate mother: "We first noticed that she was "different" when she was about 7 years old. She developed insomnia and used to sit outside her bedroom in the hallway crying at night. We would wake up in the middle of the night to hear her crying. She was always very smart, did very well in school, and seemed like a happy normal child in every other way. Then when she started at ...school in her sophomore year, she attempted an overdose and that was the beginning. We are very close and I am constantly trying to find ways to help her. I just can't give up because at times, I think she is ready to give up. She is graduating from .. next month with a perfect 4.0 even though she suffers from severe depression. If you met her today, she would fool you. She is beautiful, looks extremely healthy, very articulate and poised, etc. but she suffers in silence and, as a parent, it is heartbreaking to watch. She doesn't ever feel that she will live a normal healthy life or be able to maintain a relationship or have children, etc. I've tried many supplements like Sam-E, Vit B Complex, Fish Oil, Flax Oil, L-Carnitine, etc. and nothing seems to work. I think she has interstitial cystitis based on her symptoms, however, she has never been diagnosed with that." Candida - Antibiotics - Depression - "Unexplained" Symptoms What a sad letter! What a terrible situation! Here are some points that jump right to my attention:
Here are a few side effects of Levaquin, as listed by emedtv.com - a terrible list:
The fact that this young woman has used antibiotics for recurring "bladder infections" for 10 years or more may indicate that maybe these are not bacterial infections at all or that the antibiotics don't work. I wonder how she gets her prescriptions refilled. I recently examined a young woman in my office who had been on antibiotics for acne for several years. When I indicated that in my humble opinion this was not such a good idea - she got very upset.
Many people look for the "magic pill", rather than look at themselves, their life style, their diet, their... Pharmaceutical companies are only too happy to suggest that magic pills do exist, and sell you all you want. The more the better. No life style changes required! Many MD's seem to agree. It is so easy to write a prescription!
Side effects? Oh well - there are not really any, except your liver may fall out, you may become violent or suicidal, in "rare" cases you may die....but the "positive" effects far outweigh any possible negative side effects. The problem - nobody gets "truly" well. You may have to take this stuff forever. And you may develop new and sometimes serious problems, that require further medication. What a truly great system for stock holders and bottom line profits. I do perceive a change, however. It appears that recently more drug companies are being held accountable for sloppy and possibly biased "research", and for endangering the population with some of these wonder drugs. Antibiotics linked to Breast Cancer - maybe it should say: Candida Overgrowth linked to Breast Cancer? - A research study described on CNN on February 17, 2004, and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, states that women who took common antibiotics were twice as likely to develop breast cancer as women who took no antibiotics. To quote from CNN: (bolds added by Dr. Z) "It's as strong as any of the risk factors that we know," said Dr. Roberta Ness of the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, who is author of an editorial accompanying the study. "To put it into perspective, the risk for developing breast cancer from hormone replacement use is about a 30 [percent] to 40 percent increase in risk. And here we're talking about a doubling in risk of those women who are using chronic antibiotics." Why antibiotics may possibly increase breast cancer risk is still a mystery, researchers said. The conditions that necessitated the antibiotics in the first place may have put the women at higher risk. Or, researchers said, the women in the study who had never taken antibiotics might have been generally healthier overall. Another theory suggested in the study involves the way antibiotics affect bacteria in the intestine, which may disable possible cancer-fighting properties of some foods. Other explanations involve the effect of antibiotics on the body's immune system. The research is not the first to show an association between antibiotics and a higher risk of breast cancer, the second most deadly cancer in women. In 1999, a Finnish study of almost 10,000 women found similar results. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the overuse of antibiotics has exploded in the past 10 years, with the public mistakenly taking the medicine for colds, flu and coughs. These types of illnesses are caused by viruses and cannot be helped with antibiotics, which fight bacterial infections. End of quote.
