Story at a Glance:
- 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.
*** and ***
Many consider NSAIDs (ibuprofen and naproxen) amongst the most hazardous drugs in the U.S. because:
- They are the leading cause of drug-related hospital admissions
- Kidney damage is a significant risk.
- NSAIDs raise cardiovascular risks.
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- They impair healing, especially of ligaments

My string of kidney docs — thanks to all the changing of insurance networks during Obamacare — have ALL warned me not to take ANY “pain treatments” without consultation.
Those pregnant women with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) are really brainwashed. Even if DJT47 is wrong, why would you risk your baby and your own health to prove a political point.
And, we should learn from the history of medicine with the axion “first do no harm” that sometimes doing nothing is the best strategy and tactic. Many from Eastern and Western medical traditions have urged that body can hal itself in some cases.
Humans should be humble and realize that we can’t know it all and have to be careful when “popping pills”.
Some conditions don’t ned Big Pharma’s quick fixes.
Sigh!
