FDA Admits that Tylenol is the Number One Cause of Liver Failure in the US


In this article the FDA finally admitted that acetominophen is the leading cause of liver failure in the United States!!  Annually it is reponsible for 456 deaths and 56,000 emergency room visits. 

I also found it interesting that in the nineteen years since data collection began on the harmfulness of acetaminophen, it can be extrapolated that over a million emergency room visits and 8,000 deaths have stemmed directly from the use of this drug. For those who are keeping track, over two and a half times as many people were killed from this drug as were killed on that fateful day in September, 2001. And unfortunately, acetaminophen is but one drug, of many drugs, that cause significant harm to the population - all with the stamp of the FDA.

Read the entire article it is very interesting. 

Remember it is always wiser to try safe and effective chiropractic first.  Even over the counter medications can have very serious side effects even when taken properly.
