Act Now Against Cipro! The FDA is Ready!

Posted on May 2, 2015 by Angela A Stanton, Ph.D.

Cipro is only one killer of many in the fuoroquinolone class antibiotics!

As some of you may know, I have filed at the FDA a Citizen’s Petition again the antibiotic drug class fluoroquinolones, the most frequently prescribed antibiotics today. I started my attack with Cipro as guilty #1 since that is what nearly everyone gets and the number of people getting sick from Cipro is staggering. Cipro is now also understood to be the cause of the Gulf War Syndrome since soldiers were mandated to take it every day against anthrax in the field.

Many people have been permanently injured–some even have committed suicide. I am a firm believer that fibromyalgia is yet one more of the diseases we may be able to point to this class of drugs. The citizen petition docket is still open.

I just received a letter from the FDA stating that the matter is so complex that they have not yet been able to make a decision–please see below.

About Angela A Stanton, Ph.D.

Angela A Stanton, PhD, is a Neuroeconomist focusing on chronic pain--migraine in particular--physiology, electrolyte homeostasis, nutrition, and genetics. She lives in Southern California. Her current research is focused on migraine cause, prevention, and treatment without the use of medicine. As a forever migraineur from childhood, her discovery was helped by experimenting on herself. She found the cause of migraine to be at the ionic level, associated with disruption of the electrolyte homeostasis, resulting from genetic variations of all voltage dependent channels, gates, and pumps (chanelopathy) that modulate electrolyte mineral density and voltage in the brain. In addition, insulin and glucose transporters, and several other variants, such as MTHFR variants of B vitamin methylation process and many others are different in the case of a migraineur from the general population. Migraineurs are glucose sensitive (carbohydrate intolerant) and should avoid eating carbs as much as possible. She is working on her hypothesis that migraine is a metabolic disease. As a result of the success of the first edition of her book and her helping over 5000 migraineurs successfully prevent their migraines world wide, all ages and both genders, and all types of migraines, she published the 2nd (extended) edition of her migraine book "Fighting The Migraine Epidemic: Complete Guide: How To Treat & Prevent Migraines Without Medications". The 2nd edition is the “holy grail” of migraine cause, development, and prevention, incorporating all there is to know. It includes a long section for medical and research professionals. The book is full of academic citations (over 800) to authenticate the statements she makes to make it easy to follow up by those interested and to spark further research interest. It is a "Complete Guide", published on September 29, 2017. Dr. Stanton received her BSc at UCLA in Mathematics, MBA at UCR, MS in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, PhD in Economics with dissertation in neuroscience (culminating in Neuroeconomics) at Claremont Graduate University, fMRI certification at Harvard University Medical School at the Martinos Center for Neuroimaging for experimenting with neurotransmitters on human volunteers, certification in LCHF/ketogenic diet from NN (Nutrition Network), certification in physiology (UPEN via Coursea), Nutrition (Harvard Shool of Public Health) and functional medicine studies. Dr. Stanton is an avid sports fan, currently power weight lifting and kickboxing. For relaxation (yeah.. about a half minute each day), she paints and photographs and loves to spend time with her family of husband of 45 years, 2 sons and their wives, and 2 granddaughters.

    Thank you for your work. I’m another one who’s had my life completely & utterly destroyed by Cipro. I’ve been housebound and more or less confined to living in bed for nearly six years now as a result of just twelve pills. Most people think death is the worst side effect a Rx drug can carry…they’d be wrong. I WISH it had killed me. Everything I ever had that constituted a life is gone anyway.

      Very sorry to hear J. what happened to you–and to the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands and to the millions who still don’t know what hit them and have not yet realized they had been floxed. The only thing I can ask of you if you can to comment on the citizen petition so that the number of comments can pull the balance on the side of the people and not on the the side of the legal department of the manufacturer! I wish you the best! Many hugs! Angela

      Thanks Sherry. that is for the letter. The 3 under it are the citizen petitions.. they just place the things on top of each other. When you go to the link and see blue boxes on the right for 3 documents, those are the 3 copies of my citizen petitions… The thing that says “comment period is closed” os for the letter that you see above a scan of! 🙂

    I will not try to tell my long and painful journey post Cipro. I just need you to know no one should have to go through hell because of a drug given them for a simple sinus infection. My doctor could have chosen any number of safer options but instead used a nuclear bomb. Sinus infection gone……..life as I knew it also gone. Please stop hurting people you are supposed to help!

      Agree Gary but doctors don’t know!!! The FDA comes out with regulations and then has no power to enforce so the drugs must be pulled off the market for doctors to notice! I asked FDA and just about fainted from that response.

      Take Aspirin, for example. It was proven that it is not suitable for a first line defense against heart attacks or strokes and can in fact cause GI issues. Bayer appealed and FDA turned them down so they are NOT ALLOWED to recommend it as first line prevention! Yet I see TV commercials continue on using Aspirin as first line prevention every day! I asked FDA about that. They said they had no power of enforcement. So who does??? We do!

      I suppose the only way to get Bayer from pushing it and doctors from recommending it is by removing it from the market!

      Aspirin is not at that stage yet but Cipro and the rest of quinolones are. Until they get to be removed, doctors will be clueless and they will continue to prescribe! So if you want to help and have Cipro and the rest removed from the market, this is your time to act! Please visit the website at the link, press “comment now” on on one of the buttons attached to my application that is posted 3 times for some reason. It will take you 5 minutes to put in your comment and may help removing this drug from the market. It will not disappear from the market if people complain here but not THERE!!! Please put in a complain at the FDA!! The link is in the article!

      Thanks,
      Angela
