I had a hair analysis done 3 years ago to see if my mercury level was high. I found it was 1.92 when the acceptable level is 0 - 1, so it was almost 2x the norm, and my aluminum level is off the chart at 35.5 when it should be 0 - 9. My Naturopath recommended the standard for heavy metal toxicity: take chelated minerals (minerals compounded in such a way that they will bind with the heavy metals in my body and remove them) plus 2,000 mg vitamin C per day. Well,I started back on my chelated mineral therapy and high antioxidants this morning and have felt the best I have felt in a month - since before I began Levaquin. Remember, this is only one day, but I could not help but pass on the information. Every day I have had aches and pains throughout my body, or in my neck, back and ribs or all of the above. I have had no energy. I am one of the people who has blood in my urine. Still have not had the thorough check-up to determine the cause. So, my lower right back is still sore and it hurts to take a deep breath, sneeze or cough, but unfortunately I think that may be kidney related an will take more than some chelated minerals to aleviate the pain. What prompted me to resume the chelated mineral therapy was doing a little research on the ingrediants in Levaquin. I looked up the ingrediants in Levaquin and was surprised to find that it contains iron, even though the instructions say not to take it iron. I did a little more research on-line and found that heavy metal toxicity can cause arthritis. I also found the following, and I don't understand exactly what it means (does anyone else?): There was also some mention of how Levaquin "has the potential to form stable coordination compounds with many metal ions. This in vitro chelation potential has the following formation order: Al+3>Cu+2>Zn+2>Mg+2>Ca+2." It made me wonder if it could cause a combination of metals that is harming me and causing all of these side effects. Or maybe because my body is so high in Aluminum (Al) to begin with, maybe this is why I have had such painful side effects. Or maybe Levaquin just dumped a large quantity of iron in my body, that has started arthritis. As you can see, I am grasping for answers and solutions, not bandaids, but getting at the root cause. There has to be something in our bodies that is "causing" all of this on a daily basis, that has to be removed. I am really "searching" for answers because no one seems to have any. So please keep in mind that this is only one day that I feel better. I will give you updates. Let's hope for the best. I don't want to be like the others who have been debilitated by this. I want to prevent the osteochondrosis and arthritis and I want to stop the aches and pains for good. Good luck everyone!!!
