Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Just wanted to get back to you Bleuberry. The reaction that I had to Levaquin wasn't a Herxheimer reaction. Fluoroquinolones and Levaquin are documented in their direct toxicity to nerves and tendon tissue. They carry blackbox warnings for these effects, and there have been class-action lawsuits. The more global problems caused by Fluoroquinolones that result in life-altering permanent disability is not as well publicized but is all too real. Thousands of people have been injured by fluoroquinolone toxicity. Many more likely have low-grade injuries from these drugs that they may never associate with taking the medication. Multiple rounds of fluoroquinlones appear to increase the chance that a catastrophic reaction will occur as well as some as yet undefined sensitivity to the drug and unknown environmental factors. There are multiple articles on PubMed that document the research into the toxicity of this class of drug.
I agree that it may be conservative to try the herbs you mention.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
