Susie-Berkey water filter + Cipro abx NEWS

[Guest guest]

Hi Susie,

1. If your Berkey water filter (that sits on the cabinet) doesn't filter

minerals like RO filters do, isn't fluoride a mineral? Or not?

Do you mind saying how much it cost and where you got it? Does it remove

chlorine too? I quit eating bread b/c of bromine (and yeast too) -- all these

are Halides and toxic!

Right now we use a water pitcher filter, not Brita, the other one (I can't

remember!), and I don't know what it filters, but the water just tastes better.

I think it might be a charcoal filter, but don't know.

Tom's of Maine toothpaste at Wal-Mart is fluoride-free, but doesn't freshen your

breath or whiten your teeth or have tartar-control, like the fluoride ones do!!

Dang.

2. Did everybody know that Cipro abx is a fluoro-(fluoride)-quino-lone

antibiotic??? Try to avoid it! It makes my joints hurt something terrible.

But it does kill infection. Levaquin is another one. You have to watch your

tendons w/ it.

I find a Z-pak (Zithromycin, a macrolide abx) works better anyway. NEWS:

They've changed from paks to tablets, so docs can order as many tablets as they

want now, instead of paks of 3 or 5! Works good on me, anyway. It's a third?

generation of erythromycin. I found out b/c I've been sick and got it this

week.

Thx, Vicki K
