Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I am new to the group and have been reading the emails for about 24 hours now. Just wanted to jump in on the Tylenol thing. I was told by Dr. Bradstreet' s office (International Child Development Resource Center) to NEVER use Tylenol. It almost instantaneously diminshes glutathione levels to dangerously low levels, thus inhibiting any kind of body detox. (There are even some studies with this attempting to explain why when parents give their children tylenol before a vaccination, that the thimeresol may have had a worse effect than had no tylenol been giving. B/C no glutathione, detoxing was impaired. I believe this was from Theresa Binstock and a internet search would probably clarify it....) I am sure there are many contradictory opinions on this but to be on the safe side, Dr. Bradsreet recommended motrin, advil or aleve. Hope that helped.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Aleve is naproxen. Motrin is ibuprofin. They are not the same as aspirin I do not believe. I am just relaying what our DAN! doc said. Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 The syrups have illegals galore. I use adult regular strength tablets, cut down to appropriate dosage.... then crush to powder and mix in applesauce for my daughter. You can also get it compounded. If you ask at the pharmacy counter, there is also Tylenol suppositories... they would have less in the way of starches/sugars.... and no red dye. Patti Tylenol legal? Hi, My son has a fever, and we want to give him something to reduce the fever. What is legal? Is the tylenol liquid legal? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Problem is, from a gut perspective, the NSAIDS (advil, motrin, aleve) are very hard on the gut and can contribute to leaky gut. So.... kind of a Catch-22. Needless to say, drugs are something we wanna reserve for when there is just no choice. Also.....this is just a personal experience thing..... Ibuprofen (advil, motrin) can be DANGEROUS. My daughter had a reaction to it.... which I found out is very common...... the package warns of watching for rash, etc, but I had NO IDEA how very scary and terrible it can be. Ours was a mild case, thank God. Look up s syndrome.... or just go to www.sjsupport.org . I will NEVER let my daughter have Ibuprofen again, obviously. So.... if I give anything, it will be Tylenol (my daughter also does not have autism)..... though I am not inclined to treat fevers at all unless they are VERY high..... because the fever is trying to do it's job and burn out the bad guys.
