Re: Life is the leading cause of death.

My point was that there are many people, myself included that would have died if it were not for Cipro. That is all. If someone is taking Cipro and they are not deathly sick already, then of course they should look for safer alternatives. Cipro is for the very ill. Cipro is for deadly infections, the kind that kill. I don't condone taking it long term. I never said that. Anyone taking any Antibiotic long term should really get a second opinion. There may be safer alternatives. I didn't even acknowledge the question about it being used for parasites. I'm merely pointing out that the extremist viewpoints of the All or Nothing mindset of CZ is harmful to everyone that comes here to learn how to help themselves. There is a vast gray area when it comes to medicine. Not every treatment will work for every body. Stop speaking in such absolute terms. Cipro is not killing everyone. It does save lives. My tendons are fine.

Btw, how would anyone know they don't like your post unless they read it first? Your analogy has a giant hole in it. Try again.

And just so my view point is loud and clear, DON'T TAKE CIPRO JUST FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES. It's for life-threatening bacterial infections--the kind that will kill you if the proper Antibiotics are not administered ASAP. Respect meds and stop popping them like candy.
