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. . . .
