Artificial sweeteners, Sugar alcohols, Novel, & Natural non-sugar sweeteners

I have an article to post about aspartame but just so you know, this goes for all sugar substitutes and artificial sugars. According to Mayo Clinic, sugar substitutes are broken down into 4 groups:

Artificial sweeteners (i.e. aspartame),

Sugar alcohols (i.e. Xylitol),

Novel sweeteners (i.e. Stevia), and

Natural sweeteners (that are not sugar)(i.e. honey).

See the table below:

How to Petition Against Cipro & Other Quinolones at FDA! Read My Instructions!

I have filed a petition against quinolones use and prescription in doctors’ hands anywhere except in the case of life or death situations, or in ER or hospital surgical rooms. In order to be more effective, I must ask you all who have been hurt or know someone who is hurt to follow my instructions and either file your own petition (if it lets you given that mine is already there) or add to mine…

Believe it or not, this all started with a sinus infection.  My general practitioner prescribed me the antibiotic Levaquin, (I was given the generic equivalent levofloxacin 500 mg). This type of antibiotic is a fluoroquinolone, a broad spectrum antibiotic that is great if you have been exposed to anthrax or zombies BUT if you have a minor sinus infection you may want to rethink your options!

Shortly after finishing the 10 day cycle, I experienced excruciating pain in my hands. Eventually over the course of 3 months I ended up with multiple subluxations of the extensor tendons in both of my hands. That’s just a fancy pants way of saying that I have several dislocated tendons in my fingers, two on my right hand and three on my left hand.

These rope-like tendons are located on the back the hand. They glide back and forth and allow you to straighten your fingers. My tendons snapped in the areas right above my knuckles. So every time I made a fist or tried to type, the tendons would slide all over the place and scrape across the bones. Yes-it is as painful as it sounds!

The damage to my hands was so extensive that the only option was surgery to relocate, reattach and stabilize the tendons. This would be followed by months of extensive physical therapy to regain strength and full functionality in my fingers and wrists. But on the upside...my sinus infection totally cleared up!

Might as well start with I'm a 21 year old female. 126 lbs. I went to a walk-in clinic for some antibiotics for a urinary tract infection on Monday, March 24, 2014. The nurse took my weight, blood pressure and a cup of my pee. The doctor came in and told me my urine was positive for bacteria, that I indeed did have a UTI. He checked me for kidney pain and handed me a prescription for cipro. I asked if it was the antibiotic that had been prescribed to me last time, several months ago in December, he assured me that it was (it wasn't) and that it 'was the best one.'

I went to CVS, picked up my prescription, the pharmacist asked me if I had any questions. I said no, not really.
