There is a warning out about Tylenol. Seems it is associated with some sever health problems.
I have been sounding the warning for over 15 years now. I am no longer alone.
One of my specialties in health care is Bloodless Medicine and Surgery.
For over a decade I have been discouraging the use of acetaminophen in the hospital and especially when there was a risk of loss of blood. Of my over 600 patients refusing blood, not one died. One had lost well over 75% of his blood.
Most doctors do not know that Acetaminophen, (APAP, Tylenol, Liquiprin, or Panadol) actually interferes with the production of red blood cells. This interference is quite sever when blood counts are low. Once the doctors exclude the use of Tylenol the patients do quite well. Although this is only part of the whole, studies suggest that bloodless patients get out of the hospital 1/2 to 3 days faster. Additionally there is a lower morbidity and mortality in bloodless medicine.
Then a few years ago, on hearing a lecture, the doctor speaking talked about selenium. We were giving 200 mcg to prostate patients originally.
Note: For those who loathe pills, my patients are taught to take two brazil nuts a day (each has 100 mcg of selenium) and they will most likely die of something other than prostate cancer.
But selenium was only a piece of the puzzle.
It turns out selenium is given to a lot of diseases and conditions now, including the patients in the burn unit of the hospital.
I wondered why. The reason is because of improved outcomes. But why the improved outcomes?
Enter glutathione. Selenium is the precursor of glutathione. You cannot take glutathione, however you can take the supplements to boost your bodies intercellular glutathione.
But wait, this gets better.
Low Cysteine Glutathione Syndrome is associated with almost all disease processes. At least as far as they have studied them for this. In other words, if you looked at any disease you will see lower glutathione levels than are necessary.
Glutathione levels actually are used to tell how far HIV-Aids has progressed.
Acetaminophen depletes glutathione from the body.
Hmmmm, so you take acetaminophen and you end the fever and as a bonus, you deplete the body of everything else it needs to fight diseases and other serious conditions.
So what is done in the hospital if you come in with an overdose of acetaminophen? We give you NAC or N-AcetylCysteine, a precursor of glutathione. The dose is enough to over compensate for the damage of the acetaminophen. The glutathione sacrifices its self and protects the liver.
Incidentally, more than once in my life I have prevented acetaminophen overdoses in the hospital. Twice with babies less than a year old.
Also in the elderly (again, many nurses and doctors do not know this) the max daily dose is reduced of that of a younger person.
And Tylenol Arthritis, let the buyer beware. In more than one study it was found that a placebo worked better than tylenol on arthritis.
Hmmm, this makes total sense. Acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) depletes your glutathione, which helps you manage among 68 other things, arthritis pain. So if you do not take it, you will do better.
What if there were acetaminophen options? There are. Go to GlutathioneDiseaseCure.com and learn about the dietary and supplements that can help.
So take heed, live well and prosper.
Good health to you.
