Why Does Natural Medicine Caution Against Suppressing Fevers?

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!

DISCOURAGING: A a fast way to a Darwin Award

Tylenol, Leucovorin, and Child Neurodevelopment
Just the proven biochemical, pharmacologic, and clinical facts, Ma’am.

Everyone is suddenly an expert, and every statement about public health must be politically weaponized. Suppose you had any doubt that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing. In that case, all you need to do is watch the Instagram reels of left-wing pregnant women downing large doses of Tylenol, which is a high-speed route to the emergency room promptly followed by a potential rather unpleasant death from liver failure. Quod erat demonstrandum (QED).

“Well, I’m not a <insert profession that requires a lot of study>, I have never played one on TV, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but here are some simple thoughts.”

In this case, a doctor, pharmacist, or maybe a drug creator.

I’m amazed at the behavior of some pregnant women.  Most Moms-To-Be that I’ve know even just in passing are fastidious to the point of mania about what they do, eat, or drink.  I know one who went on what she called “a no chemicals lifestyle” that eliminated “everything”.  While that is a little extreme, taking any drug to prove a political point or make an example of yourself seems like a fast way to a Darwin Award.  

I don’t understand.  There are many people with real world medical conditions that need help.  For anyone to go out of their way to create a completely avoidable “medical problem” is beyond stupid.  For all its faults, the medical community does NOT need your stupidity making work for them and taking up valuable bed space.

Argh!
