The Fluoroquinolones: An Epigenetic Monster
The fluoroquinolone antibiotics have the ability to reach yet to be discovered pathogenic genetic variants before we have had a chance to research their ability to cause potential harm.

Muscle Biopsy Follow Up Number 1: Where I’m At So Far
A follow-up to my muscle biopsy from February 7th, 2017 and subsequent mitochondrial DNA sequencing.
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..
Creating a Healing Plan
This plan features a unique perspective of science and natural methods, to offer, in my opinion, one of the best plans to place our bodies on the path to healing and a healthier lifestyle post Fluoroquinolones.
Know Your Genes – The ACAT Gene
Although this mutation is fairly uncommon, however if you do have this mutation it can significantly impact many areas of your health.
Hopeless or hopeful, Fluoroquinolones and DNA Adduction, Part Deux
Since our physiology is not static and things such as enzyme levels and trace mineral are in a constant state of flux, not to mention genetic variances, all which affect metabolization, combined with the fact that the FQ molecule is very complex, there is no way of determining if the same decomposed and identifiable compound will form an adduct in each person.
FDA: Protecting Us From Our Genetics
In this knee jerk reaction the FDA ruling makes the assumption that “We the People” are not responsible enough or smart enough to own or understand our own genetic information.
Fluoroquinolones and DNA Adduction
Just learning if adductions exist or not is not the end, just the opposite, it would open up a vast array of questions, resulting in the need for far more research. If you are looking with an unbiased filter you will see a highly heterogeneous mix of results.There may end up being one cause, but there definitely is not one destination.
How Common are MTHFR Variations?
The rate of one MTHFR mutation in the standard population is a whopping 50%.
Know Your Genes – The GSTP1 Gene
The GSTP1 are a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification of certain products.
Know Your Genes – The COMT V158M
The COMT V158M +/+ polymorphism is associated with improved cognition, better memory and attention to tasks due to higher amounts of dopamine in the synapses.
