Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Can someone explain to me (in simple terms) Why Tylenol is bad for us? I choose not to give it to my kids when they have a fever. I get questioned by family why I do this? I usually just say "they don't need it". But would like a better explanation for myself. thanks, Leah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Other than a toxic reaction with the liver, I don't really know of anything else.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi Leah, For me, the main reason is that it causes liver damage. The damage builds with time and it's not a very pretty picture. I have a friend that had used tylenol and prescription pain relievers with it (as prescribed by a Medical Deity). After about 4 years, she didn't wake up one morning. They took her to the E.R. where it was determined that the tylenol had almost killed her and her liver. She was in a coma for almost 3 months from it. As a result of this, today she has liver damage, brain damage, had a stroke with paralysis during the coma and has to walk with a cane and braces on her legs. She used to jog 2-3 miles a day and was very healthy with the exception of chronic back pain. As you can see, she's only a shadow of her former self. Like I said, it's not a pretty picture.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Nothing made by "Pharmaconglomerate"! Why do you need a replacement for it? Anything made by the pharmaceutical companies that are supposed to suppress and/or alleviate pain are extremely toxic to the human body. Pain is only an indicator that something is wrong inside. You need to figure out why you are having pain. Throwing NSAID's at pain will only kill you quicker.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yeah, Don's right. Pain or discomfort is your body's way of trying to tell you something is wrong. Correct the problem, not squelch the pain. It's dangerous to just deaden the pain without finding (and rectifying) its cause. A few ppl are born without a developed nerve system, like they can't tell something's hot or cold by touching it. They certainly don't feel any pain, but they just might burn or freeze their hand off! Find out the root cause of the pain first. As you work on treatment for that problem, you can use herbal painkillers on a temporary basis. My favorites are white willow (for general pain), cloves (applied topically for tooth or other mouth pain), feverfew (for migraine pain), honey (for throat pain) and mustard or tomatoes (applied externally for skin burns, etc). (Other herbs are good applied topically for different purposes as well.)
