We have a friend in the hospital right now dying from sepsis from dental treatment gone horribly bad. The dentist thought it would be a good idea to crown an abscessed tooth. NOT a good plan!
I am so sorry. What the heck is going on? I went to the dentist last month for a MINOR repair. I may have mentioned this but I was sick with the runs for almost two weeks after because of the numbing gel which I accidentally swallowed or the lidocaine. I struggle with food and chemical sensitivities. I'd like to point out the gel has polyethylene glycol in it and red food dye according to the internet. I hate to say this but for a few years now I have avoided mainstream health care, I'll add the dental too.
I am humbled by your response. It takes a big man to admit that. We had the same dentist for 40 years, since he first went into practice . He retired 5 years ago, and he is such a good man, as is his receptionist wife, I would never share with him what I now know about conventional dentistry. It would kill him. The man once saw me on a Sunday, and brought up decades later on a regular basis a painful dental experienced that truly surprised and bothered him,
I was born in 1948, I can hardly wrap my head around how scary the world is now. I don't know what I would do without God. Praying everyday for mercy to get through, but I believe good is coming. Thank you for the information and about the molecular iodine. We use colloidal silver for many of the things you mentioned. I'll be looking that up, blessings.
This is SO funny!!!! I was needing toothpaste the other day and found Xylitol toothpaste there. Bought 2 tubes. And after my last "cleaning," horribly incompetent technician, the only reason I'd make another appointment (even with a different technician) would be as a result of having a need to travel across town.
No one should EVER take cipro for any reason at all, EVER. There's no magic that happens at 60 or before 18 that makes it okay to take a chance on cipro's famous tendon-rupturing side effect. Plus many other dozens of side effects too numerous to mention. It took my husband well over 5 years to recover from the four cipro tablets he took in late 2019, and even still there are problems.
It is the ONLY antibiotic that got the bug after my BIL nearly died. He's had a whipple... When his doc up north had him stop it, he was back in the hospital in 5 days...
I do indeed agree, it is only for rare situations! And only with precautions!
My primary care Dr. prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection in Dec. 2009. She never did before, it was always Azithromycin. Levaquin tore my right shoulder tendon within 5 days, requiring surgery in June 2010. 2 years of misery. When I questioned doc why she prescribed it, she replied “O the sinus Infection was ‘deep.” 🙄 She was lucky I didn’t know the evils & corruption of big pharma back then. I’m sure she was highly compensated to push their poisons.
Yes, total kick back situation. Quinolones are specifically designed to last line of defense for MAJOR infections. They were the only thing that beat back the MRSA infection my sister picked up in Afghanistan, which saved her life, but she still has issues from using the drug to this day.
Ugh, so very sorry about your sister😣. Maybe getting her gut flora strengthened with pro biotics? Takes awhile, but has helped me over the years. Mercy & blessings.
I agree. I did comment above that Cipro saved my sisters life when she contracted a serious MRSA infection in afghanistan. If the quinolones are ever prescribed it should be a last line of defense situation. I do think that older antibiotics combined with IV ozone, Vit C etc would be just as effective without the horrible side effects if you have access to the non allopathic treatments. Most antibiotics designed in the last 20 years need to be reserved for truly life threatening infections if used at all.
Also I think that list is fear mongering click bait. ALL medication have side effects. The second medication listed , Cipro is in a class of antibiotics called quinolones which should e used in life threatening situations and probably not even then. Penicillin, amoxicillin and zithromycin have of the lowest side effect rates of antibiotics in the modern world. The discussion needs to be centered around being healthy enough that these interventions aren’t needed in the first place.
I was given amoxicillin as an infection preventive after getting a root canal. Two days later I broke out in hives all over my body and ran a low fever. I had no idea I was allergic. I needed to take prednisone for a week to calm it down.
@Lorita can you say which antibiotic please? I know people who are instructed to take amoxicillin before any dental procedure based on their past knee surgeries. Thx.
Antibiotic Classes with Highest Risk of C difficile (odds ratio 5 or more)
Without a doubt, clindamycin carries the highest risk of C difficile infection with an odds ratio of about 17-20 compared to no antibiotic exposure.3-5 Fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, aztreonam, and carbapenems carry a fairly high risk, all of which being associated with an odds ratio of approximately 5 compared to no antibiotic exposure. Blessings
It is no longer protocol to take antibiotics after knee replacement and prior to dental work. My dentist, primary care and orthopedic surgeon all concurred.
I had a root canal performed in 2011 & got C-dif from the antibiotic. Horrible experience. Dr. said don’t ever take it again. Been on my drug allergy list ever since.
Hubs got c-diff from getting an antibiotic that is notorious for causing c-diff in older people, dental work from a dentist who just didn't know. DEI?
We have a friend in the hospital right now dying from sepsis from dental treatment gone horribly bad. The dentist thought it would be a good idea to crown an abscessed tooth. NOT a good plan!
Please check out Dr Paul Marik’s HAT protocol for sepsis.
H= hydrocortisone (steroids)
A=ascorbic acid (high dose IV vitamin C)
T=thiamine (vitamin B1)
Prayers for your friend 🙏🏼
YES!!!

Get a biological dentist. Well worth the search and $$
Roland, I was a non-biological dentist for 38 years: a product of my brainwashing education. I agree with your recommendation.
I am humbled by your response. It takes a big man to admit that. We had the same dentist for 40 years, since he first went into practice .

I will look into that!

Please post product. Thank you .
Thank you.
Dentists. Every major medical issue I've ever had was at the hands of a dentist!
This site is a great source of information. I love her recommendation for Himalaya toothpaste. https://deeprootsathome.com/can-xylitol-help-you-skip-dental-cleanings/
This is SO funny!!!! I was needing toothpaste the other day and found Xylitol toothpaste there. Bought 2 tubes.

Oh geez...there are certain antibiotics that are not recommended for various age groups.
The dentist should have known.
Did not know, now do. Thank you, KJ.
Cipro is one of the antibiotics that is not recommended for people over 65.
This link states that the age range is from 18 to 60 years.

It has a double black box warning
It’s mitochondrial toxic.
I know people who have been debilitated on this medication
It is the ONLY antibiotic that got the bug after my BIL nearly died. He's had a whipple... When his doc up north had him stop it, he was back in the hospital in 5 days...
I do indeed agree, it is only for rare situations! And only with precautions!
I have known people who take it after a tick bite.
Doxycycline is the norm for what to take after a tick bite.
And doxy is being linked to suicides in kids who are put on it for acne- spread the word
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3888527/
There’s a little bit of poison in every medication.
The regimen with which I'm familiar for prevention of Lyme after a tick bite is a single 200 mg dose.

Bookmarked. Thank you for sharing!
What a good friend you are, Kathleen!
I did not knw that! Thank you!
The antibiotic cipro is known to cause tendons to tear.

Geez...that sounds brutal.
I avoid all fluoroquinolones. It’s the category of antibiotics that includes cipro.ciprofloxacin,levaquin,lovofloxacin, avelox, moxifloxacin, etc.
TY again, Kathleen.
Could those antibiotics be listed here? Of course not as recommendation, just neighbor to neighbor info.

At least people now have a starting list of antibiotics to be wary of...
I was given amoxicillin as an infection preventive after getting a root canal. Two days later I broke out in hives all over my body and ran a low fever. I had no idea I was allergic. I needed to take prednisone for a week to calm it down.

Me neither. . My functional doctor prescribed a supplement instead. (hip replacement) I am not home, so I cannot give you the name of it.
This happened to someone I know in his 30’s. It’s becoming more common in even young people bc of antibiotic overuse.
I had a root canal performed in 2011 & got C-dif from the antibiotic. Horrible experience. Dr. said don’t ever take it again. Been on my drug allergy list ever since.
