I am still recovering from it. I am lucky, some do not recover from their encounter with this class of "antibiotics".

Do your research...folks, you will find that the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics was original designed to be a chemotherapy drug.

This class of drug is also used in veterinary medicine, known as Baytril. It is just as toxic to pets as it is to humans. It also means it is in the food supply.
