That is the same thing as Tylenol - not that is not safe either.

It is toxic to the liver

When you are sick the liver is burdened trying to detox from the sickness

then you add Calpol/Tylenol as a stressor on the liver on top of that

It also depletes glutathione which is necesary to help heal.

That too.

There are wonderful homeopathic remedies to help with teething.

ANYTHING that stops a symptom is bad - stopping a fever, stopping a cough,

etc.

Symptoms are doing a job and should not be stopped.

For example when you stop eczema with steroid creams and other creams you

will later end up, in many cases, with a child with asthma

Stopping something causes the exteriorization of the illness to cease and

the disease goes internally. Like if there is not a good rash with measles

doctors and nurses knew that child was more at risk for deeper injury and

would use hot baths to bring the rash out - rash is the measles leaving the

body basically.

Hi All,

I've read some threads on ths group citing the dangers of Tylenol.

I've only used the English Calpol - is that safe? Or is the issue

simply that of not interferring with a fever using chemicals?

What to do when they are teething? My 5 month old recently ran a

temperature of 102.5 accompanied by pain in her gums. She had two half

doses of Calpol in one day because she was in obvious pain (not so much

because of the temperature). She was able to go to sleep & woke up

bright & sunny the following day.

I'd like to get a fuller picture of the issues: for instance, are there

other child pain killers othr than Tylenol to be wary of?

Is there somewhere where I can read up on this directly?

With thanks,

Candida

I don't give my kids anything to kill their fevers unless they're very

uncomfortable, cranky and can't sleep. When I do give them something to bring

down their fever, it's never tylenol, motrin or anything like that. My kids

have had temps in the 105-106 range before and a nice warm bath seems to be the

best thing to make them feel better. When they were teething, I gave them a

homeopathic remedy and things to gnaw on and massage the gum to help with the

pain. I figure their body knows far better than I what's going on and what it's

doing. My kids have never seized from their high temperatures. Febrile

seizures are not a matter of the body temperature being too high, they're a

matter of the body temperature changing too fast. That's why they can happen

when you try to bring down their temp too fast as well as when it spikes too

fast.

When they get a fever, I tend to leave them alone and let their bodies do their

thing. Especially when a fever is (what I consider to be) low like in the

101-102 range. I don't start to get actively involved until they're at least

105 and showing signs of being uncomfortable from the fever itself. Otherwise,

I just keep the vitamins and fluids going and they've always been fine thus far.

Trying to kill a fever is trying to kill a very good attempt by the body to kill

whatever it has deemed as the immediate threat. What's the point of spending

all this time and research to help keep our kids' immune systems safe from the

toxins of vaccines only to harm it with drugs like Tylenol and Motrin?
