Fluoroquinolone Toxicity (David Secord, DPM)

Dr. Secord wants "proof" that what I am asserting
is supported by the literature. In fact, there is
no paucity of literature regarding
flouroquinolone toxicity syndrome. If you have
not heard of fluoroquinolone toxicity syndrome, I
suggest you do your own literature search as soon
as possible. The question that always needs to be
answered is why do these severe reactions only
affect the people that they do. That is where the
genetic research is applicable and is beginning
to answer many questions.

In terms of the SNP's and their relationship to
this toxicity syndrome, this is all emerging
science and my report of these conditions may be
preceding the literature that is sure to support
these assertions in the near future. I have been
working closely with some physicians whose work
in the area of personalized medicine has given
me a framework to help patients of mine who have
been languishing in pain for years. I have
experience with this and have seen it change
lives first hand. I reported it on this forum for
information purposes and to give a "heads up" to
our profession since many of you write for a lot
of these antibiotics.

Dr. Secord's remark about cited literature is
relevant and I take no issue with it. However,
realize that I am working in a paradigm as and
with pioneers who are changing the face of
medicine. Those who wish to follow the flow are
welcome. Those who wait to be convinced are often
too late to save someone from a preventable
medical disaster.
