Acetaminophen, usually sold as Tylenol, is a non-prescription drug that is widely used for relieving pain. Many people who used acetaminophen do not realize the dangers that are hidden in it. Unintentional overdose on acetaminophen is more common than you may think. A few extra doses than what is recommended can cause liver toxicity and other health problems. Some of the reasons why you do not hear a lot about acetaminophen toxicity is because many people do not report it and the media does a poor job covering it, even when death is involved. Acetaminophen should never be taken with alcohol. Drinking alcohol after taking acetaminophen can increase your risk of acute liver failure. Overuse of acetaminophen with alcohol is one of the top reasons for liver transplant in the United States. To reduce your risk of acetaminophen toxicity, follow the drug bottle’s directions and do not take it for more than a few days straight. If your are worried about acetaminophen toxicity, you may want to use herb is an alternative. Herb usually do not have negative side effects like conventional medicine. Analgesic herb such as fennel and kelp are great for relieving pain.

Hello energy and health fanatics, independent thinkers, truth seekers and freedom lovers! My name is Pao L. Chang and I’m the author/founder of EnergyFanatics.com. Ever since graduating from high school, I noticed that my energy level was not as high as it used to be. While in college, I decided to educate myself about energy, health, wellness, and explore the mystery of alternative medicine and the power of spiritual healing. This journey taught me many things...
Death? Seriously? Yeah maybe if you take the max dose every single day and never ever take a break. I’ve been taking tylenol for the past 3 years and my liver is fine.. Granted i only take it once or twice a week tops…and sometimes even take monthly breaks, but here and there isn’t going to harm the normal mostly healthy person..and that came straight from every single doctor I’ve asked, and I asked at least a dozen of them
Yes, if you follow the directions, taking Tylenol is not going to cause major health problems in the short-run. If you take Tylenol with alcohol, you will increase your risk of organ failure, leading to death. Children are even more sensitive to the negative effects of Tylenol which is why they should never be given Tylenol.
The video below explains what most doctors are scared to tell you because if they do, they are risking their job. This is why most doctors who know about the dangers in Tylenol will not tell you the real truth.
Johnson & Johnson, the makers of Tylenol, have been caught hiring private contractors to buy its product whenever there is a problem. Instead of recalling it, J&J went behind consumers back and hire contractors to buy them off of store shelves. Its action is very irresponsible. Why would you trust a company that will choose its product over your life? Below is the link to ABC News covering J&J criminal action.
