Levaquin and Cipro Reactions
In 2001, Dr. Jay S. Cohen published a ground-breaking article* on the severe and often disabling reactions some people sustained while taking Levaquin, Cipro, or another FQ antibiotic. Dr. Cohen says, “It is difficult to describe the severity of these reactions. They are devastating. Many of the people in my study were healthy before their reactions. Some were high intensity athletes. Suddenly they were disabled, in terrible pain, unable to work, walk, or sleep.”
The 45 subjects in Dr. Cohen’s study reported the following side effects*.
Peripheral Nervous System
: Tingling, numbness, prickling, burning pain, pins/needles sensation, electrical or shooting pain, skin crawling, sensation, hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia, allodynia (sensitivity to touch), numbness, weakness, twitching, tremors, spasms.
Central Nervous System:
Dizziness, malaise, weakness, impaired coordination, nightmares, insomnia, headaches, agitation, anxiety, panic attacks, disorientation, impaired concentration or memory, confusion, depersonalization, hallucinations, psychoses.

Dear Sherrel,
Thank you for your note. As I told you by phone we have been getting
quite a few reactions from Truvia. Pure stevia is fine but Truvia is
made by Coke, and has chemicals. It is sweetened with Erythritol and
has added an ingredient of stevia only. In fact, I did an expose on
it which was shown in France. You can be sure if Coke and Pepsi
have anything to do with sweeteners we have no way of assuring
safety. Here is an email I wrote about
it: http://www.mpwhi.com/health_problems_and_truvia.htm and an
investigation by Arthur Evangelista who use to work for the FDA.
Also, what worries me is aspartame and MSG are hidden in artificial
and natural flavors. As a heart patient you have to be absolutely
sure you never get aspartame. It even damages the cardiac conduction
system and causes sudden death:
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm and
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm They know that aspartame
is addictive and sells lots of pop. So unless somebody analyzes
Truvia we have no idea what is causing people to have all these
reactions from it. The reactions you describe are exactly like
aspartame which causes chemical hypersensitization. One man got off
it and got well, and then later was given a cookie sweetened with
aspartame and had tachycardia, fast heart rate, so bad they had to
stop his heart to save his life.
I would stay away from artificial sweeteners. Just Like Sugar is
okay because its food and not additives, just chicory used 70 years
to improve the health of diabetics. There have been no reactions to
it or complaints. Stevia that you get from a health food store is
fine as long as it does not contain additives. In Brazil they even
add aspartame to it. Until aspartame is removed from planet earth we
can’t be sure where its hidden. Somebody needs to analyze Truvia
because there are far too many complaints. I’m glad you have not
knowingly used aspartame. Below my signature is the Aspartame
Resource Guide with detox and other information. The knowledge will
prove useful to you. The detox is very helpful.
