DANGER DANGER WARNING
Due to the incompetence of the CDC and their lack of protecting the public, instead of Big Pharma…
Over 1,500 Americans have died from taking too much acetaminophen in the past decade-2013
**Is Tylenol 'By Far the Most Dangerous Drug Ever Made?'
"Pain In The Time Of Opioid Denial: An Interview With Aric Hausknecht, M.D."-Aric Hausknecht, M.D. 2017
"Tylenol Is By Far The Most Dangerous Drug Ever Made"
"Each year a substantial number of Americans experience intentional and unintentional Tylenol (acetaminophen) associated overdoses that can result in serious morbidity and mortality. Analysis of national databases show that acetaminophen-associated overdoses account for about 50,000 emergency room visits and 25,000 hospitalizations yearly. Acetaminophen is the nation's leading cause of acute liver failure, according to data from an ongoing study funded by the National Institutes for Health. Analysis of national mortality files shows about 450 deaths occur each year from acetaminophen-associated overdoses; 100 of these are unintentional."
***Rather interesting that the CDC, which has inserted itself firmly up your doctor's anus for writing scripts for Valium or hydrocodone, is only too happy to recommend that pain patients take a drug that is more likely to cause an overdose than either of them.
"Several nonopioid pharmacologic therapies (including acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and selected antidepressants and anticonvulsants) are effective for chronic pain. In particular, acetaminophen and NSAIDs can be useful for arthritis and low back pain…"
Acetaminophen has reportedly been linked to more deaths than any other over-the-counter pain reliever, and results in 33,000 hospitalizations each year in the US as well.
It is very difficult to die from a Valium overdose in the absence of alcohol, opioids or other central nervous system depressants. (See: "Can Valium Kill You?"). In two case studies, people survived overdoses of 500 and 2,000 mg (50 and 400 five milligram pills, respectively). But, 50 regular strength Tylenol pills (16.25 g) is approximately twice the estimated lethal dose. Yes, a single dose of 500 Valium pills is less dangerous than 50 Tylenol pills.

How many more people will have to die before these idiots and the ones that approve their guidelines get a clue! Murder for profit!
