Dr. Mark Ghalili, DO, at Regenerative Medicine LA has years of experience, including personal experience, with the side effects of Fluoroquinolones and Fluoroquinolone Toxicity. Dr. Ghalili has suffered a numerous amount of progressive symptoms including muscle wasting, neuropathy, and seizures so severe that he became fully disabled and wheelchair-bound. After making a full recovery, Dr. Ghalili dedicated his practice towards helping patients who have been damaged and neglected by traditional medicine.
The FDA released a Black Box Warning on the side effects of fluoroquinolones in 2017, but many physicians across the United States are still prescribing these antibiotics despite the dangers of antibiotics they were warned about. In our practice, we have treated over 800 patients with fluoroquinolone toxicity and not one patient was able to show us a documented culture to show a bacterial infection that was sensitive to Cipro or Levaquin. We estimate Cipro or Levaquin is used appropriately less than 1% of the time. There are thousands of individuals in online forums who have become severely disabled from this class of antibiotics.
Dr. Mark Ghalili, DO, is a board-certified internal medicine physician and the founder of Regenerative Medicine LA. After experiencing life-changing fluoroquinolone toxicity himself, Dr. Ghalili used his medical training, and personal recovery journey, to pioneer advanced regenerative treatments for patients worldwide. Today, he is recognized as one of the leading experts in mitochondrial repair, IV therapy, and stem cell medicine, having helped thousands of patients reclaim their health and quality of life.
Fluoroquinolones may cause short term side effects including muscle pain, tendon pain, tendon rupture, psychosis, anxiety, insomnia, neuropathy, palpitations, ringing in the ears, paralysis, muscle wasting, weight loss, brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, sluggishness and a myriad of symptoms by causing damage to your bodies mitochondria.
As someone who has personally experienced fluoroquinolone toxicity, I want every patient to understand this: there is no magic bullet or overnight cure.
