List,

Please see this month's Esquire magazine to learn that Acetaminophen is the leading cause of liver failure in the USA today. Tens of thousands of people each year suffer serious, sometimes irreversible, sometimes fatal toxic reactions from this powerful and popular drug -- which of course is approved by the FDA.

I am busy and will stop here: if you read the entire article, you will understand clearly the grotesque contrast between the FDA tolerance of toxic OTC remedies from the big pharmaceutical companies, as opposed to the FDA attacks on effective, largely harmless non-pharmaceutical substances and devices,.

Read it and weep,  or laugh bitterly, depending on  your inclinations.

The article alone is well worth the price of the latest edition of Esquire. . . . and you may learn something that will save your life or that of a loved one. BTW, acetaminophen and a few alcoholic beverages can be a DEADLY combination. Spread the word. . . .
