Cipro Toxicity Healing Resources

If you’ve also been given ciprofloxacin or another fluoroquinolone and it left you with lasting side affects that you’re still battling - I’m so sorry. I know how lonely this system shut down can be (especially with the mental and financial toll it takes).

I’m not a medical professional and this isn’t medical advice - however I want to share treatments and experiences that did help me. (Please take this information to a medical professional and do your research as well. Everyone’s body is different). None of these have been a cure all, however there are combinations that helped me get a lot better and when I’m able to do them consistently seem to put certain symptoms at bay.

IV Resources: Phosphatidylcholine- my doctor started me at a low dose and slowly increase until we were at a high dose. We did these IV’s every other day for 5 weeks. Google explains it better than I can “Phosphatidylcholine (PC) IV therapy offers benefits for liver support, detoxification, brain health, and cardiovascular function by repairing cell membranes, improving nutrient absorption, and aiding toxin removal, with research showing promise for fatty liver, cognitive decline, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and cholesterol management, though it’s often used in complementary medicine. It helps strengthen cell structures, boosts acetylcholine for memory, reduces arterial plaque, and supports liver function, making it a tool for conditions like mold toxicity, chronic fatigue, and neurological issues.” For me, I noticed a huge improvement in my energy levels, nerve pain and brain fog when I was able to consistently get this IV. High Dose Vitamin C- my doctor rotated this IV on the off days of Phosphatidylcholine. The dosage I was given was 25 grams which gave me a high enough dose that it was both a detoxifyer as well as an immune booster. High dose vitamin C also helps the production of white blood cells (helping the body fight off infection and protect from future infection). I found this helped with my skin flare ups, energy and feelings of heaviness. Niagen / NR (precursor to NAD)- I’ve only been able to get this IV twice due to it’s price however both times I felt an improvement that lasted for 2 weeks before I felt the affects fading. I believe this to be one of the most restorative IV’s for this condition (again this is not medical advice, simply my personal opinion through my personal experience). Google breaks the benefits down best here. I felt an immediate cloud lift around my mind after this IV and the weeks following felt increased energy, less nerve pain, less tremors, less tendon pain, and had no heart palpitation flare ups. I was shocked by the results of this IV. The healing at a cellular level truly is incredible and potent. (I will forwarn, it does feel quite weird during the IV itself, but the sensation is temporary) Additionally I would rotate adding glutathione and vitamin B12 to my IV’s as additional detox and energy help. I personally pass out if I get glutathione pushed (how it’s normally given) so I have to dilute it in a bag and have it slowly drip in.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Treatment: Again a treatment that google explains better than I could, here’s more specific information. The doctor I was seeing did FSM treatment on me 4 days a week for 5 weeks and I believe fully this was the difference of getting me walking again, bringing my energy back and getting my mind back to a place where I could speak. He ran frequencies for brain swelling, getting my cells out of the fight or flight mode (essentially my body was forcing itself to preserve what little energy it had left + he was able to run frequencies to move the cells out of this mode), tendon / muscular healing frequencies, closing the blood brain barrier, nerve relief and more. I will post a video about this on my instagram / tik tok to show what this treatment and machine looks like. It was extremely helpful for my system.

Hyperbaric Treatment: Hyperbaric chambers are essentially a pressurized chamber with super concentrated oxygen. This allows more oxygen to reach both your brain and your cells, essentially reaching your body at a deeper level for more restoration and healing. It was recommended to me to do a loading season of at least ten 60–90 minute sessions in order for it to really make a difference. I personally battled and still battle with really tough headaches, and previously migraine level. This treatment was extremely helpful for brain healing and helped with headaches a lot when I was able to consistently go. I felt it helped more for me personally when staying in for the full 90 minutes!

Red Light Therapy: I definitely underestimated how much red light can help. When I was able to at least get red light 3 times a week I noticed my muscles + tendons hurt less, I slept better and my skin had less flare ups.

Supplement wise there were a lotttt of things recommended and I’ll be honest, I still don’t fully know how much helped or hurt in the long run because of how many things I was taking. I do know that a few I’m still taking that have still been helping me are a daily probiotic (I personally take seed), NAD every other day orally (I take the one from RHO), CoQ10 for brain health, and recently started berberine (also from RHO) after meals and that’s seemed to really help with the exhaustion crash after eating. For tendon pain BP 157 has helped slightly with strength, but I personally haven’t noticed a difference with or without it in the pain. There are so many more that I took throughout the process but these have been main stays that seem to still be helping and my body takes to well. Supplement wise of course is always personal and recommended to see a medical professional!

Water: I didn’t realize how much floride is in our tap water here in Oregon. With this new sensitivity, my nerve pain really flares up when consuming fluoride. I switched to fluoride free toothpaste and we purchased a water filter that specifically filters out fluoride as well as pharmaceuticals (ciprofloxacin included). We purchased the Aqua Tru water filter. Since, I’ve learned a lot more about water and it’s been recommended that I get a alkalized water system. That may be something for the future, but for now the Aqua Tru does the trick for clean and re-mineralized drinking water.

Sleep: If you’re experiencing similar symptoms that I did and am still battling — I know the insomnia can be so tough. I’m so sorry. However you can help yourself sleep better, do all you can. Sleep helps the most with recovery and all the treatment in the world can’t replace sleep. Whether it’s grounding sheets, cooling sheets, a comfy mattress, comfy PJs, no screens 2 hours before bed, a cool or warm enough room -whatever makes you most comfortable. I cannot stress the importance of sleep for healing.

For permanent healing I’ve heard a lot about spine cell treatments. I haven’t received any myself but it’s something I’ve done a lot of research on and have considered if I’m able to do it in the future. As I continue to heal and learn, work on gaining my strength back, and get further testing / labs done I will update this post. I know when I first experienced this, there weren’t a lot of online resources of people who had become slightly more stable but were still battling. I hope I can be a helpful resource to you and also a beacon of hope. It can get better, you will heal sweet friend. If you want to connect I’m going to post more about this, what helps, what doesn’t and what I’ve learned on insta + tik tok (both @hansciprojourney). Please reach out if you need someone to talk to, you are not alone.
