Amino acids that definitely could help, because the liver uses them to

metabolize tylenol. Also, studies show that a number of antioxidants

might also help:

Basically, anything that helps glutathione, are useful to taken.

Thanks Mark. It's kind of hard for my foggy brain to keep

everything straight (all those abbreviations!), but I got the gist of

the studies. They didn't mention how much tylenol was used in

the first study, but 750mg/kg in the second study seems to say

the least, a HUGE amount! Also, the antioxidant levels were also

quite large.

I'll see if I can find out more info on the web. Thanks again for

posting the studies.
