I'm pretty sure that Cipro stripped my body of all good bacteria, and allowed the bad bacteria to thrive, after taking Cipro. 2 rounds of it, 30 days each. A new study suggests gut health affects the brain in ways they are just learning. It says that bad gut bacteria is in the gut of all who get Parkinsons. On my own, I've lost the weight and got my gut health better. Only problem is that the fat cells I burned contained toxins, which made figuring out what foods cause reactions, or not. Burning toxic fat cells causes its own set of issues. Not much out there on this topic. It's been a serious struggle for me.
