Dear Krmaxr,
Cipro treatment is known by us on this list, and by researchers paying attention to fluoride poisoning, to cause fluoride poisoning and hypersensitivity to fluoride in food, water and other meds that used to be tolerated before the Cipro treatment. Even though it does not release a whole lot of fluoride inside the body through metabolism, the fluorinated Cipro molecule apparently wrecks the cell membrane receptors that control inflammation. The features of Rheumatoid Arthritis are similar to fluoride poisoning and that is a common misdiagnosis. However, since doctors aren't ever taught how to properly recognize and differentiate auto-immune arthritis from fluoride poisoning, they can't really be blamed for the mistake.
What you do now is radically reduce your mom's fluoride exposures as much as possible, ramp up the vitamin C and natural anti-inflammatory foods, herbs and fish oils, and try to get as much natural calcium and magnesium from foods like raw milk kefir and organic vegetables. Try to get pharmaceutical grade calcium gluconate in powder or liquid and take it in small frequent doses to try to reach at least 1000 mg per day.
Look up the fluoride content of various common foods on
www.fluoridealert.org and
www.SLweb.org and switch over to plain fresh foods, prepared from scratch, no additives or precooked or processed anything.
Drink and cook with distilled water for now. You can make decisions on water filtration later.
We can't give medical advice here but many of us have been in fluoride poisoning hell for a long time so we have accumulated a lot of experience. Some of us have really benefited from thyroid hormones (prescription).
If your mother is willing, we need to record cases such as hers for medical journal articles so that doctors can find out that Cipro (and other fluorinated drugs) can have this awful effect on patients.

Subject: [FluoridePoisoning] Cipro
Heres my "story"
My mom (age 56) was sick a while back with a sore throat. She went to
DR and s/he gave her an anitbiotic to fix her. Soon after (a week?)
and she came down with a bladder infection from said meds. SSSOOOO
they give her CIPRO. She starts taking and in a matter of days ended
up with extreme swelling in wrists / hands. after 7 days I convince
her to stop taking meds and go back to Dr. They say of maybe (?) a
reaction to cipro so stop taking. Her sympton are still there and now
have moved to elbows and the legs and everywhere. Now they are telling
her she has RA.
Its funny (not even a little) that she never had any RA symptoms before
taking cipro.
My question is do you know of any other cases like this?
Could it be RA?
Could it be floride poisoning?
WHAT DO WE DO????
Please any help would be truly appreciated.
an aside mom and i are both from MI.
Thank You!
