Acetaminophen use is almost universally promoted as safe for adults and children alike, but scientists have concluded that acetaminophen use in susceptible babies and young children causes many if not most cases of autism. Scientists link susceptibility to a variety of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that create brain inflammation and oxidative stress. In addition, well-known deficiencies in the metabolic breakdown of pharmaceuticals during early development help create susceptibility to acetaminophen-induced neurodevelopmental injury. Finally, scientists conclude that the scant evidence for long-term benefits of acetaminophen use in babies and small children is far outweighed by risk for neurodevelopmental injury. Dr. William Parker has studied the effects of acetaminophen use in infants and children for over a decade, and today he presents his research. Please join us for an absolutely eye-opening conversation about the dangers of acetaminophen, and stay tuned as Kay and Elanie cover natural, risk-free alternatives to its use. Dr. William and his team have put together a webpage tailored for moms, designed to help them understand the research: https://www.wplaboratory.org/tips-for-parents-and-caregivers Dr. William Parker's research is published and the most recent information can be found here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38255358/ https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/14/8/918 Parker, William et al. “The Dangers of Acetaminophen for Neurodevelopment Outweigh Scant Evidence for Long-Term Benefits."

ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in children under 18. The prevalence of ADHD is rising dramatically, with 1 in 20 children being on behavior modifying medications such as Adderall and Ritalin. These are medications that act as central nervous system stimulants, and can cause nervousness, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, vomiting, mood swings, an increased heart rate, increased blood pressure and even psychosis in susceptible individuals. Most research indicates the increase in ADHD is directly linked to poor gut health, the food that children eat, how they sleep and even how they breath. Join us in this episode as we explore natural alternatives for ADHD including diet, lifestyle, and supplements, that can help your kids (and adults) focus better and beat hyperactivity. Citations 1.
