Those are options, but you can also control pain and inflammation with

herb, and food. Most aches and pains are caused by inflammation in the

joints or muscles. Eating a wide variety of foods with anti inflammatory

properties would go a long way to giving you a long term solution.

Yvette, have you been listening to The Healthiest Year Summit by Gianni?

He has had some great speakers for the last two days. The first was Dr. Mark

Hyman who is practicing Functional Therapy and spoke of Mercury detox and

inflammation, the other, Dr. Jonny Bowdan talked about the World's Healthiest

foods and supplements. They have written several books each and I ordered a few

of them. Mark Hyman's book deals with an anti-inflammatory diet and mercury

detox. Tonight Mike speaks.

No.. never heard of him. I'm researching inflammation and diet for a

series of books I'm writing on alternative treatment methods and various

illnesses. I just interviewed a dr for an article, too.

I am totally against Tylenol. It stops the liver from being able to detox.

The autism community believe that given Tylenol when given vaccinations,

greatly increases ones risk to getting autism. Thus, its a no no. It disrupts

glutathione, which apparently most are too low in anyhow.

They all commonly cause adverse health effects that are well documented in the

medical literature. I have references.

Turmeric is a very effective antiinflamatory that is as effective as these for

many things.  Fish oil also likewise.  Use one low in mercury.

Here, Dr. Mercola gives some important points, but a simple google of

" tylenol liver " or " tylenol glutathione " brings up all kinds of websites about

the

dangers of Tylenol.

always concerned with using Ibuprofen for long periods because of the

internal bleeding it causes. Now this...:-( "

1. Studies have found pharmaceutical use to be a   leading cause of

hospitalizations and the third leading cause of deaths (1).    In 1998 an

extensive study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association

(JAMA) showed that 106,000 people die each year in American hospitals from

medication side effects (1). But studies also show that less than 5% of

hospitalizations and deaths due to pharmaceuticals are identified as such so the

actual total is much higher.

 

2. Tylenol/acetaminophen can cause serious or chronic liver damgae (2).

Tylenol/acetaminophen reduces glutathione levels, especially in elderly(20;

glutathione levels have been documented to be a marker for aging and health, as

well as chronic health conditions including degenerative eye conditions(Dr.

, Alternatives,1). Last year an FDA review estimated that there

are more than 14,000 unintentional overdoses of acetaminophen every year, with

about 100 of those cases resulting in death. Studies have shown that

N-acetylcysteine ( NAC) is an effective antidote for acetaminophen poisoning and

is especially effective within 8 hours of ingestion of the overdose.

3. NSAID use has been linked to “ leaky gut †and intestional damage by a

large number of studies(3).   Of a group of arthritis patients with a history

of NSAID use, 70% were found to have intestinal erosion, and 25% had severe,

large lesions(3b).       Ibuprofen(Advil,Midol,Motrin,Nuprin,Pamprin),

naproxen(Aleve,Naprosyn,Anaprox), and indomethacin had the worst adverse

effects.   

4. Newcastle Univ. researchers found that NSAID s are major contributors to

heart problems (4).

There was evidence that NSAIDs are a major factor in over 20% of first hospital

admissions for congestive heart failure(4a).   NSAIDs decrease the ability of

the body to excrete excess salt and water, resulting in fluid retention and

buidup, the beginning of congestive heart failure.

In those with a history of heart problems, NSAID use increased the risk of

hospital admission over 10 fold.    NSAIDS have been found to sometimes cause

adverse health effects including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and skin

relations- some of which have been fata(4b).

5. NSAIDs taken by pregnant women dramatically increase the risk of miscarriage

(5). In a large study those who took NSAIDs during pregnancy had an 80% increase

in miscarraiges and even those taking baby aspirin had an increased risk of 60%.

  NSAIDs interfere with the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.  

The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Britain has issued an

advisory telling women to avoid NSAID use during pregnancy.

6. NSAID use has been found to induce hypersentive reactions including asthma ,

respiratory problems, and urinary problems(6).   Between 8 - 20% of adult

asthmatics experience bronchospasm following ingestion of aspirin and other

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Termed aspirin-induced asthma,

this reaction is potentially fatal. " The prevalence of aspirin and

NSAID-sensitive asthma in Australia is probably as low as 5-10 per cent in all

adults with asthma, "

7. Studies have documented an increased risk of renal failure in some groups of

elderly who use

NSAID s(7).

8. Long term aspirin use can increase your risk of heart attacks and stroke.  

Long term aspirin use also increases the risk of macula degeneration and the

risk of cataracts by up to 44 %(8).
