TYLENOL? NOW? REALLY?



Tylenol was introduced in 1955. That's 56 years ago. Just four years after my birth. It has been known from day one that tylenol can cause liver problems. Thing is, ANY MAN-MADE MEDICATION CAN CAUSE LIVER PROBLEMS! Read the contraindications on every medicine made and you'll find LIVER PROBLEMS. The liver is the body's filter. Anything that shouldn't be in the body winds up... where? IN THE LIVER. 




NOW, yes NOW, a law firm is going all asbestos on us with tylenol. To quote John McInroe, "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!" We're STILL seeing ads on TV with respect to misothelioma, a condition caused by...? Asbestos. 


Asbestos had been used for over 4000 years before it was found to cause cancers. The first asbestos-related death was discovered in 1906. It continued to be used thereafter and 1989 the EPA issued the Asbestos Ban and Phase Out Rule. Actually I thought it was before that as I worked in the oil industry in the 70s through 2009 and I think I remember asbestos remediation beginning in the early 80s. Whatever...

There have been asbestos-related law suits going on for at least 35 years. I guess we can now expect the same concerning tylenol when all you have to do IS NOT TAKE IT. I only use it in Hydrocodone and only when my back pain is unbearable.

I really cannot believe this is happening now, 56 years after tylenol was introduced. Particularly when it's liver damaging capabilities were ell know almost that entire time.

"Kill the lawyers." -- Shakespeare [Yess, I know that's not the true intent of the quote.]


More later, I'm sure.
