- Over-the-counter (OTC) pain and fever medications are widely used despite having marginal efficacy and significant side effects that hospitalize hundreds of thousands of Americans each year
- While a widespread practice, using these medications to reduce fevers has long been controversial, both due to their toxicity and the notion that fevers are essential for health
- During the 1918 Influenza pandemic, one of the most critical lessons was that avoiding fever suppression was vital for protecting patients from dying
- While considered the "safest" option, Tylenol has a wide range of issues, including liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, blood cancers, and kidney injuries
- An extensive body of data connects using Tylenol during pregnancy or in infancy to the development of neurological injuries (e.g., autism). Many of these tragic cases illustrate a longstanding observation within natural medicine — suppressing superficial reactions (e.g., fevers) can transform illnesses into chronic ailments that can cause far more issues
