Fluoroquinolone Herbicides
Scientists have been tinkering with the fluoroquinolone family of antibiotics to try and find a herbicide replacement for glyphosate.
What Everyone Must Know About using Antimalarials for the Coronavirus
History is replete with lessons that caution against resorting to haste in times of desperation because during these times well-meaning cures can become the cure that kills instead.
Cumulative Toxicity Of The Fluoroquinolones
One pill or one thousand thousand, for each person the threshold is different. But make no bones about it, there is a threshold for each person. A line, that once it is crossed, there is no going back.
Fluoroquinolones Aren’t for Viruses…. Or Are They?
Pharmaceutical research since 2009 as shown that quinolone molecules are suitable for designing newer derivatives against influenza viruses based upon promising antiviral activity seen.
WebMD Interview and Article

Speak Comfort to Me Jacob
Pharmaceutical companies hide, ignore, or misrepresent evidence about new drugs; distort the medical literature; and misrepresent products to prescribing physicians.
Pulling The Trigger: How the Fluoroquinolones Can Cause Mutations and Disease
Drug’s that can mutate DNA and create a disease process are downright scary. They start the ball rolling on a pathology that often appears later on..
Why haven’t the Fluoroquinolones been taken off of the market?
So the next time someone asks you ‘Why are these drugs still on the market?” even though you may not agree, you will at least know the answer.

This article states “quinolones target bacterial gyrases (34) and mtDNA topoisomerases (15),”
Quinolones and damage mammalian mitochondrial DNA:
FDA’s April 27, 2013 Pharmacovigilance Review, where the FDA notes that the mechanism for action through which fluoroquinolones induce peripheral neuropathy is mitochondrial toxicity.
