You should give your child Tylenol to treat a high fever, not!

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

I am writing this in response to the concerned parent of a patient of mine who

ran a high fever yesterday and felt that his correct response would be to give

the child tylenol to bring down his 104 degree temperature.

 

First a little about Tylenol aka Acetaminophen.

 

1. There is a clear connection between acute liver failure and even small

doses of Acetaminophen.Hepatology December 2005; 42(6): 1364-1372

2.Acetaminophen depletes the body of Glutathione a major bio-protector,

anti-aging substance and antioxident.

3, Acetaminophen increase the risk of asthma and chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease (COPD).

4. Regular use of Acetaminophen (and aspirin, BTW) has been shown to boost the

risk of developing kidney failure The New England Journal of Medicine December

20, 2001;345:1801-1808 (And according to Dr. Joseph Mercola, 15% of dialysis

patients are the results of kidney damage from aspirin and acetaminophen).

 

So those are enough reason why it is unwise in general to use Tylenol.

However in this case and for this patient it is particularly inappropriate. Let

me explain why: This child suffers from ticking and twitching. Chinese

medicine identifies any kind of uncontrolled movements the body makes as being

" Liver Wind. " Liver wind usually results from a patient who is under stress,

and severely liver blood depleted. With such a person, THE VERY WORST THING you

can do is to irritate the liver further, which is what Tylenol does.

 

If Tylenol was not bad enough, and if this child's liver were not vulnerable

enough, the very idea of bringing down fever with Tylenol is completely

antithetical to the well being of the immune system. (The only time one should

consider bringing down a high fever as a singular therapy without treating the

pathogen and building the immune function would be in the case of a RAPID rise

in fever to over 106 degrees, in order to prevent convulsions, and even then

using herbs, acupuncture and CST, very successfully and quickly can bring down

the fever without any side effects!) Fever is the body's reaction to the

presence of a pathogen. When the immune system picks up the presence of such a

pathogen, metabolism is increased, antibodies are produced and the body

temperature rises. This gives the body an opportunity to fight and defeat that

which is trying to harm it. BUT JUST WHEN YOUR BODY NEEDS TO BE HOTTER, TO WORK

FASTER AND WITH MORE VIGILANCE, TO PRODUCE MORE

ANTI-BODIES, BY TAKING TYLENOL, YOU ARE COOLING OFF AND SLOWING DOWN THE IMMUNE

SYSTEM, ALLOWING THE PATHOGEN TO PROLIFERATE, AND G-D FORBID, PROLONGING THE

ILLNESS!

 

Please don't ever give your children tylenol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
