Download or read book How We Can Halt the Cipro and Levaquin Catastrophe written by Jay Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-25 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the powerful, sometimes lifesaving, yet sometimes highly destructive antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. Best known of these drugs are Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and Levaquin (levofloxacin), as well as four others. This book, How We Can Halt the Cipro and Levaquin Catastrophe: the Worst Medication Disaster in U.S. History, has two main goals. The first goal is to alert patients and doctors of the truly destructive capability of these drugs to cause serious, sometimes long term, sometimes permanent injuries. The capacity of these drugs for such damage has been attested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and others many times and is by now incontrovertible. Hundreds of patients, many of whom are quoted in this book, have confirmed their long-lasting injuries to me, while many hundreds more have been ignored or dismissed by their doctors. This must stop. Ignoring these problems has only made the problem worse. My second goal in writing How We Can Halt the Cipro and Levaquin Catastrophe: the Worst Medication Disaster in U.S. History is to stimulate the interest of government, the drug industry, medical institutions and all others for any and all ideas regarding remedies, solutions, and any other ideas that may help end the suffering experienced by patients with the Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome that can affect many human systems including the musculoskeletal, nervous, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, and others. As you will see, I have offered some ideas for therapies that may provide benefit to some of the injured. I think it is imperative that we follow a trail that may lead us to an understanding of how these drugs work and particularly how they injure, and most of all how we might help people heal, obtain pain reduction and hope. Thousands of lives, young and old, depend on the efforts that we make.

Download or read book What You Must Know About the Hidden Dangers of Antibiotics written by Jay S. Cohen and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the news about taking too many antibiotics is now common knowledge, there is another underlying danger that the public is not aware of. As beneficial as this class of drugs are, there is a widely prescribed family of antibiotics that is highly destructive. Called fluoroquinolones, they are better known under the names Cipro and Levaquin (as well as four others). What You Must Know About the Hidden Dangers of Antibiotics, has two main goals. The first is to expose the truly destructive capability of these drugs to cause serious, sometimes long term and permanent injuries. The capacity of these drugs for such damage has been attested to by the government’s own watchdog agency, the FDA. Hundreds of patients, many of whom are quoted in this book, have confirmed their long-lasting injuries to the book’s author, Dr. Jay Cohen, while many hundreds more have been ignored or dismissed by their own physicians. As this book will show, being brushed off and dismissed as simple side effects essentially allows these manufactures to hide these problems from public view. The second goal of this book is to provide other safer and effective remedies, solutions, and considerations that may help end the suffering experienced by patients suffering from these dangerous side effects--that can affect many human systems including the musculoskeletal, nervous, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, and others. To do this we explain how these dangerous antibiotics work, and particularly how they injure. By understanding the underlying problems, the alternatives offered in this book can help people potentially reduce their pain reduction, clear up persistent antibiotic-based health issues, and just as important, give them hope. Because so many doctors do not carefully read the FDA’s dire warnings about the risks these specific antibiotics pose, there is little likely patients will be know why they are having such serious reactions. With What You Must Know About the Hidden Dangers of Antibiotics, they may have the answer they are looking for.

Book excerpt: We take our medicines on faith. We assume our doctors are well-informed, our drug companies scrupulous, our FDA diligent—and our medications safe. All too often we're wrong. Just how wrong is documented in this critically acclaimed portrait of the international pharmaceutical industry by one of our most highly respected investigative journalists. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), adverse drug reactions are the fourth leading cause of death in America. Reactions to prescription and over-the-counter medications kill far more people annually than all illegal drug use combined. Stephen Fried's wife took a pill for a minor infection—and ended up in the emergency room. Some drug reactions go away in a few hours or days. Diane's did not. This emotionally wrenching experience launched Fried into a five-year examination of the entire pharmaceutical industry, the most profitable legal business in the world. Rigorously documented, Bitter Pills is a full-scale portrait of pill making and pill taking in America today, presented through the powerful human drama of doctors, patients, drug companies, the FDA, and government regulators as they war for control of our medicine cabinets.

Following up on a high-profile 1992 report from the Institute of Medicine, Microbial Threats to Health examines the current state of knowledge and policy pertaining to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases from around the globe. It examines the spectrum of microbial threats, factors in disease emergence, and the ultimate capacity of the United States to meet the challenges posed by microbial threats to human health. From the impact of war or technology on disease emergence to the development of enhanced disease surveillance and vaccine strategies, Microbial Threats to Health contains valuable information for researchers, students, health care providers, policymakers, public health officials. and the interested public.

Download or read book Weird written by Olga Khazan and published by Hachette Go. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn why the concept of "weird" is being reclaimed and turned into a badge of honor, used to show how being different—culturally, socially, physically, or mentally—can be a person's greatest strength. Most of us have at some point in our lives felt like an outsider, sometimes considering ourselves "too weird" to fit in. Growing up as a Russian immigrant in West Texas, Olga Khazan always felt there was something different about her. This feeling has permeated her life, and as she embarked on a science writing career, she realized there were psychological connections between this feeling of being an outsider and both her struggles and successes later in life. She decided to reach out to other people who were unique in their environments to see if they had experienced similar feelings of alienation, and if so, to learn how they overcame them. Weird is based on in-person interviews with many of these individuals, such as a woman who is professionally surrounded by men, a liberal in a conservative area, and a Muslim in a predominantly Christian town. In addition, it provides actionable insights based on interviews with dozens of experts and a review of hundreds of scientific studies. Weird explores why it is that we crave conformity, how that affects people who are different, and what they can do about it. First, the book dives into the history of social norms and why some people hew to them more strictly than others. Next, Khazan explores the causes behind-and the consequences of-social rejection. She then reveals the hidden upsides to being "weird," as well as the strategies that people who are different might use in order to achieve success in a society that values normalcy. Finally, the book follows the trajectories of unique individuals who either decided to be among others just like them; to stay weird; or to dwell somewhere in between. Combining Khazan's own story with those of others and with fascinating takeaways from cutting-edge psychology research, Weird reveals how successful individuals learned to embrace their weirdness, using it to their advantage.
