QVF Year in Review




Quinolone Vigilance Foundation had a very busy and productive year in 2014.

In February, Assistant Director Donna Schutz and her fiance Jeff Stephens were interviewed for a Croatian radio station. The station heard about their love story. Donna lives in Australia and Jeff lives in Atlanta, Georgia. They have had a 16,000 mile long distance relationship for five years. The interview starts at 0:45:00 minutes and finishes at 1:06:40. At approximately 58:40 is about fluoroquinolones and QVF http://radio.hrt.hr/drugi-program/ep/gladne-usi-13022014/54501/. This is the English Raw version with an added video to the interview: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10202541591173861 .



In March, Dr. Charles Bennett from the University of South Carolina published a QVF study on fluoroquinolone induced cardiac issues in the Annals of Family Medicine. http://annfammed.org/content/12/2/121

Also in March, Quinolone Vigilance Foundation connected with Ryan Clarkson, owner of Clarkson Law Firm in Santa Monica, California. Mr. Clarkson's firm was the first firm to review fluoroquinolone-induced peripheral neuropathy. A week and a half later, QVF connected with Baron & Budd Law Firm, a national law firm which partnered with Clarkson Law Firm to try peripheral neuropathy cases.
www.clarksonlawfirm.com and www.baronandbudd.com

As she does every year, President and Executive Director Rachel Brummert attended Johnson & Johnson's shareholder meeting in April in New Brunswick, New Jersey to speak with CEO Alex Gorsky. Ms. Brummert was invited for a private meeting at Johnson & Johnson headquarters for a follow-up meeting.

Sometimes QVF hits snags along the way. In May, QVF materials were stolen in Australia. Constable Jennifer Favorito recovered everything after an investigation was launched. QVF Assistant Director Donna Schutz arranged a special presentation to honor Constable Favorito for her hard work. Ms. Schutz went on to educate the police department about fluoroquinolones. Luckily this snag had a happy ending!



Part of Ms Schutz's presentation can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Ti2IM9LI4

QVF was asked several times this year to come and educate doctors. In May, Ms Brummert met with Rothman Institute, a specialized orthopedic hospital in South Jersey; she also met with Capital Health Systems.





On June 11, we had sad news to report. Bob Grozier, an activist who was severely damaged by Cipro, died at the age of 55. We will never forget him. http://clarksonlawfirm.com/blog/dead-from-cipro-at-55-quinolone-antibiotic-injury-victims-mourn-loss-of-activist-bob-grozier/

On June 26, President and Executive Director Rachel Brummert and Assistant Director Donna Schutz traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for a presentation at Progressive Medical Center about fluoroquinolones. Joining them were floxies Jeff Stephens and Bill Milligan. Progressive Medical Center treats fluoroquinolone toxicity patients. www.progressivemedicalcenter.com. Thank you Donna Schutz and Carey Spurgeon for arranging the presentation. It went very well and we continue to work with Progressive.





At the end of July, QVF elected Leslie Day to the position of Secretary, succeeding Alice Broussard, who needed to step down after a year and a half of faithful service.


During the summer, President and Executive Director Rachel Brummert met with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital to speak with the medical board about how fluoroquinolones are prescribed. 1) Informed patient consent after being warned of the risks. 2) Only for life threatening infections. 3)Verify that there is an infection in the first place. 4)Never to children.



Quinolone Vigilance Foundation also supported a Citizens Petition submitted by Dr. Charles Bennett from the University of South Carolina to The US Food and Drug Administration. This Citizen Petition is asking the FDA to add Mitochondrial Toxicity to a 3rd Black Box warning. Through a Freedom of Information request, there is solid documentation from the FDA themselves which states that they have been aware that fluoroquinolones cause Mitochondrial Toxicity and never told doctors or patients of this link. Mitochondrial Toxicity causes diseases such as Parkinson's, ALS, Alzheimer's, MS, and Neurosarcoidosis. QVF is calling on the FDA to immediately issue this Black Box warning and use their own words on the label. http://www.saferpills.org/citizen-petition/.



Also in August, Quinolone Vigilance Foundation received its non-profit 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service, 15 months after we applied for it.

We also kicked off our annual online auction to help us fund research and to raise awareness.

Rounding out the month of August in the good news department was that Tom Sims from Baron & Budd Law Firm filed the first of many rounds of lawsuits against the makers of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, specifically against Johnson & Johnson and Bayer. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140826006280/en/Baron-Budd-Files-Litigation-Levaquin-Avelox-Cipro#.VHqaBslu2eU . We are very grateful for all of his hard work.



This is a breakdown on course of action in the pleadings:

1. Liability damages
2. Failure to warn
3. Negligence
4. Breach of expressed warranty
5. Breach of implied warranty
6. Fraud
7. Negligent misrepresentation
8. Fraudulent concealment

On August 25, Rachel Brummert hosted a conference at Capital Health Systems, educating over 80 doctors about fluoroquinolones. This was our biggest presentation yet.




That same day, Ms Brummert submitted documents and Comments to Dr. Walter Ellenberg at the FDA for a September 23, 2014 FDA Pediatric Advisory Committee Meeting in Bethesda, Maryland. These documents were presented to everyone at the Committee Meeting to request that they reconsider the use of Pediatric Levaquin in children. Those documents and Comments have been forwarded to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

September was also a busy month. Quinolone Vigilance Foundation issued 3 press releases:
-September 2, 2014- Quinolone Vigilance Foundation Press Release published: http://www.saferpills.org/contact/media-inquiries/quinolone-vigilance-foundation-warns-levaquin-cipro-avelox-may-result-neurodegenerative-diseases/

-September 15, 2014- Press release published: http://www.saferpills.org/contact/media-inquiries/quinolone-vigilance-foundation-supports-citizen-petition-requesting-another-black-box-warning-levaquin-cipro-avelox/

-September 16, 2014- Quinolone Vigilance Foundation Press Release published addressing the documents and Comments that Executive Director Rachel Brummert submitted to the FDA for a September 23, 2014 FDA Pediatric Advisory Committee Meeting in Bethesda, Maryland: http://www.saferpills.org/request-fda-investigate-potential-levaquin-link-mystery-illnesses-california-children/

Also in September, QVF supported another Citizen Petition submitted by Dr. Charles Bennett from the University of South Carolina to the FDA requesting a 4th Black Box Warning regarding Psychiatric Effects. http://www.saferpills.org/citizen-petition-psychiatric-effects/

September also saw QVF cast in the national spotlight, starting with an article written by Michelle Lee for the Arizona Republic featuring QVF Public Relations Director Jenny Frank. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2014/09/17/critics-demand-stronger-warnings-potent-antibiotics/15759755/ . The story was picked up in USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/17/levaquin-antibiotic-side-effects/15767249/ and Detroit Free Press http://www.freep.com/story/life/wellness/2014/09/17/antibiotics-warning-labels-fda/15770411/ .

A few days later, on September 22, Rachel Brummert lead a conference educating doctors and administrators about Fluoroquinolone Toxicity at CentraState Medical Center.



The next day, Irvin Jackson wrote an article about the Citizens Petition requesting the FDA add a Psychiatric Effects Black Box Warning to fluoroquinolones. Quinolone Vigilance Foundation is mentioned, and President and Executive Director Rachel Brummert is quoted. http://www.aboutlawsuits.com/antibiotic-black-box-petitions-71197/

The day after that, on September 23, Quinolone Vigilance Foundation attended a FDA Pediatric Advisory Committee meeting in Bethesda, Maryland to present a report requesting the FDA reconsider the use of Levaquin in children and requesting that the FDA open an investigation into whether Levaquin is causing paralyisis and "mystery illness" in children in California.

In October, President and Executive Director Rachel Brummert met twice with CentraState Medical Center in New Jersey to educate their doctors about fluoroquinolones, and met with the medical board to advise them on safer prescribing procedures for fluoroquinolones if one must be used in a life-threatening situation, and to help implement informed consent after being advised of the risks.




Rachel Brummert was interviewed by two reporters for stories that will be published at a later date.

We did hit a snag in mid-October. QVF was the victim of identity theft. Our corporate card number was used for fraudulent purchases. Our bank notified Executive Director Rachel Brummert and the matter was quickly resolved. Every penny was recovered and additional measures were implemented to make sure this never happens again. We are thankful for the bank's fraud department for alerting us so quickly.  Quinolone Vigilance Foundation's policy is to cooperate with all levels of law enforcement. We continue to assist law enforcement in their investigation and the perpetrator will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Ending October, Quinolone Vigilance Foundation welcomed Dr. Joe Hudak to the Board of Directors. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from New York Chiropractic College after completing his undergraduate studies at Middlesex County College. To further his education, he completed an intensive residency program at Levittown Health Center in Long Island, New York. Dr. Hudak then went on to work as a Senior Associate at Park Avenue Chiropractic in Manhattan before returning to the Edison Area to open his state of the art office facility where he currently practices.

I'm Fine: Two damaging words





*Baron and Budd Law Firm published 'I'm Fine' on their blog.


"I'm Fine”

Under these two words that sound positive hides a darker, hidden truth.

With Fluoroquinolone Toxicity, it can mean:

I'm not okay”

I'm in pain”

I'm having brain fog and I feel like my brain doesn't work”

My joints/tendons are flaring”

I don't know how to ask for help”

I'm worried you will judge me if I tell you how horrible I am feeling”

I'm pushing through anxiety”

I'm scared you are tired of hearing me be honest about what is happening to me”

I am guilty of using “I'm fine” when I'm not. When I do that, I am robbing the people around me the opportunity to help me, and more importantly, I am robbing myself of a good life. I am putting myself further into isolation. I am sabotaging my recovery by bottling up how I am really feeling.

Suffering from Fluoroquinolone Toxicity is isolating and difficult all by itself and by reinforcing the mask of “I'm fine”, I am letting this condition win.

No more.

I admit, I was not someone who easily asked for help. It made me feel weak. It made me feel inadequate. It made me feel useless. Then I would sink into further isolation because I was so hard on myself. And then I would be in more pain because stress aggravates my physical health. It became an endless cycle.

I made the decision to reduce my stress by divorcing myself from stressful people and situations and to surround myself with people who inspire and encourage me, and who are willing to help me. I made a conscious decision to turn “I need help” into something positive so that I wouldn't have to sink into the desperation of “I'm fine”. “I need help” is no longer a weakness; it's a sign of strength.

In my position as President and Executive Director of Quinolone Vigilance Foundation, and as someone who was severely injured by Fluoroquinolone Toxicity, I am very fortunate to work with a great team. I have learned to delegate responsibility without feeling guilty about it, and as a result, we get a lot done.

The same goes for my personal life. I have wonderful people in my life who feel helpless about what I go through and they see me struggle.

How am I changing “I'm fine” to “I need help”?

  • I realize that asking for help is not a weakness. I am choosing to turn it into a strength. I make the choice to make asking for help into a strength. I realize what my limitations are and that benefits my health and my sanity by recognizing that.

  • I have learned what I need help with and who is best suited to help me with it. People are more eager to help than you might think. I have come to realize that it is just as difficult for the people around me to watch me suffer as it is for me to go through it.

  • I have learned how to say NO- even to myself. Taking things on that will cause me more pain, frustration, anxiety, and a decline in health is no longer an option because I value myself too much to accept anything less. Having Fluoroquinolone Toxicity does not make me less of a person; only I have that power and I will not allow that for myself any longer. Accepting help makes me feel better physically and emotionally because I'm not hard on myself from the frustration and I am not causing myself further injury by trying to do it myself. Putting myself in a position that could cause more injury and frustration could set me back for days, weeks, or longer. I learned that the word “No” isn't the negative word we think it is. Giving yourself the power to say “No” only means that you value your health more than pleasing people.

  • If someone I love became disabled and was embarrassed by their disability, I would do everything in my power to help them. I realize now that I don't have to be hard on myself for something that I would never want for someone else.

  • I no longer hold myself to the standards of my Pre-Toxicity life or dwell on what I can't do anymore. I realize I can't do it and that's okay.

  • I realize that I have more support than I ever gave anyone credit for. By saying “I'm fine” when I wasn't, I was effectively creating my own prison. Changing that to “I need help” was the answer to my freedom. I don't have to be isolated or frustrated because we're in this together. Not to sound cheesy here, but there really is strength in numbers.

  • There is no such thing as “All or Nothing”. Once I freed myself from that mentality and I challenged myself to reach higher than my illness and limitations by allowing people to help me, I found myself less stressed, less frustrated, and I was able to be more productive while staying true to my strength.



So, how about it? How about we say “No” to “I'm fine” and put power and strength behind the words “I need help”.

I'll start: I need help...turning “I need help” into a positive phrase and taking “I'm fine” out of the rotation.
