More Antibiotic Warnings!

Postby Mrs. T-Bone on Tue Mar 21, 2017 2:43 pm

I've posted before about the dangers of some of the "last resort" antibiotics that are not being prescribed as a last resort, are being prescribed to athletes and others with contra-indicated conditions. The latest info suggests that the effective damage to mitochondrial cells and repair pathways may be CUMULATIVE! I firmly believe that I have these drugs to blame for an ACL replacement. If only I had known that I am in a contra-indicated class!!! Too little info, too late. So, I am including here a few links to FDA info as well as results of a study on athletes and antibiotics. Please make sure that if your Dr is about to prescribe antibiotics, you make sure the Dr knows you are a highly trained athlete (despite appearances). It may save your tendons, ligaments, joints, disks, bones & muscles!!
