Podcasts about acetaminophen

Most people assume that if a drug sits on the shelf at Costco or Walgreens, it must be pretty safe. But what if some of the most common over-the-counter (OTC) medications are among the riskiest drugs in America? On this vintage episode of Vitality Radio, Jared exposes the hidden dangers behind everyday pain relievers, sleep aids, and heartburn drugs—medicines that cause thousands of deaths every year when misused or taken long-term. You'll learn how a drug becomes “OTC,” what happens when pharmaceutical companies push for that switch, and why the FDA's approval process might not tell the whole story. Jared dives into the startling realities of PPIs like Prilosec, NSAIDs like ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol)—uncovering their risks to the liver, kidneys, bones, and brain. He also discusses how marketing convinces consumers these drugs are harmless. Finally, Jared offers a resource for safe, natural alternatives for reflux, pain, inflammation, sleep, and immune support—options that nourish the body instead of depleting it. This episode will change the way you look at “harmless” OTC drugs and help you take real control of your health.Additional Information:#341: Your Digestive Health Supplement User's Guide.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls:   Endocannabinoid System: THC binds CB1 and CB2 receptors in neurons and immune cells Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis CB1 and CB2 receptors typically bind endogenously-produced 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA) to regulate pain, stress, and inflammation THC similarly binds CB1 and CB2, leading to the cannabinoid high: euphoria, paranoia, anxiety, analgesia, anti-inflammation, and appetite, among a variety of others Ingestion via edibles, vice inhalation via smoking, leads to chemical modification of Δ9-THC to 11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC, which more easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds CB1 with higher affinity, leading to increased psychoactivity   Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS): Chronic THC use leading to the classic presentation of persistent nausea and intense, frequent vomiting Chronic activation of CB1 receptors in brain builds a tolerance and dependence on THC, in addition to chronic activation of the capsaicin and vanilloid receptor TRPV1, which binds capsaicin or is activated by heat Treatment by warm showers works due to TRPV1 activation by heat Treated with benzodiazepines, fluids, and gastro-intestinal or central nervous system agents according to patient presentation   Over 200 synthetic cannabinoids have been created (K2, spice, black mamba, mojo, etc), which are more dangerous and can lead to a variety of etiologies   Acetaminophen binds CB1 receptors to reduce inflammatory pain   References Loganathan P, Gajendran M, Goyal H.

In this must-listen episode, Dennis sits down with Dr. Jon Andrews—former 5th and 20th Group Special Forces medic turned Duke-trained anesthesiologist (pediatric & cardiac fellowships)—to tackle one of the biggest headaches in austere medicine: you have a tiny box of opioids and ketamine, a long mission, and a patient who needs to stay alive AND comfortable.They break down exactly how to stretch every milligram using real OR strategies adapted for prolonged field care: patient-specific planning, smart titration, multimodal synergy, regional blocks, ketamine myths, and when (and how) to layer non-narcotics without crashing your patient or your supply.Why this episode matters: Acute pain becomes chronic pain. Chronic pain leads to opioid dependence, PTSD, and worse outcomes. In the field, your choices today shape your patient's tomorrow—and whether you still have meds left when the next casualty shows up.Key TakeawaysStart low, titrate smart. Cut your first dose in half on sick or unstable patients. You can always give more—never the other way around.Multimodal is mission-critical. Hit pain from every angle (blocks + ketamine + acetaminophen + judicious NSAIDs) to dramatically reduce opioid requirements and prevent chronic pain pathways.Ketamine IS an analgesic. It's not just dissociation—it's an NMDA antagonist that blunts central sensitization and has proven opioid-sparing effects.Schedule your non-opioids. Acetaminophen (1 g IV/PO/PR q6h) and longer-acting adjuncts form your baseline; use fentanyl or morphine only for breakthrough.Blocks beat everything—if you can do them. Pre-emptive regional anesthesia (when feasible) is the single highest-yield move before surgical stimulus hits.Monitor like your life depends on it. Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate are your best pain score when the patient can't talk.Plan for worst-case evacuation. Bring more than you think you'll need and dose for the opioid-naïve or opioid-tolerant reality in front of you.Why treating hypertension in the OR (or field) almost always starts with fixing pain firstThe “start low, see response, add more” mantra every austere provider needsWhy Tylenol often performs as well as morphine in blinded ED studies (and why your patients still doubt it)Real talk on ultrasound-guided blocks in 2011 vs. today—and why proficiency still mattersThe dangerous synergy of opioids + benzos + ketamine on respiratory driveWhy you must get comfortable decreasing doses, not just ramping them upChapters01:55 – The austere reality: limited narcotics and why your favorite med won't last forever03:37 – OR planning vs. field reality: opioid-naïve vs. chronic users05:57 – Multimodal analgesia explained (blocks, ketamine, Tylenol, NSAIDs, dexmedetomidine)08:28 – Patient & mission factors that should drive your loadout12:23 – Golden rule: start low, titrate to effect, monitor vitals15:05 – Sick-patient hack: cut your mental dose in half16:01 – Is ketamine actually an analgesic?

In this episode of *PICU Doc on Call*, Drs. Monica Gray, Pradip Kamat, and Rahul Damania chat about a 17-year-old girl who ended up with acute liver failure after she intentionally took 22.5 grams of acetaminophen. She came in 48 hours later with really high transaminases and an INR of 5.5, so she was admitted to the PICU. The hosts break down how acetaminophen affects the body, walk through its four clinical stages, and discuss how to manage it—focusing on N-acetylcysteine as the primary antidote. They also touch on other treatments, like fomepizole. Thankfully, this patient recovered without needing a liver transplant, which really shows how important it is to have a team approach with intensivists, hepatologists, toxicologists, and psychiatry all working together.Show Highlights:Clinical case presentation of a 17-year-old girl with acetaminophen ingestion leading to acute liver failureMechanism of acetaminophen toxicity and its metabolic pathwaysEpidemiology of acetaminophen toxicity in pediatric populationsPathophysiology of acetaminophen overdose and its effects on liver functionClinical manifestations and progression of acetaminophen toxicity through various stagesEvaluation and diagnostic criteria for assessing acetaminophen toxicityManagement strategies for acetaminophen overdose, including the use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC).Discussion of adjunctive therapies such as fomepizole in severe cases.Importance of supportive care in managing complications of acute liver failureAn interdisciplinary approach to treatment involving various medical specialtiesReferences:Fuhrman & Zimmerman - Textbook of Pediatric Critical Care Chapter ***.Reference 1: 2019 Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System (NPDS): 37th Annual Report.

In this episode, editor in chief Joseph E. Safdieh, MD, FAAN, highlights articles about acetaminophen use during pregnancy, the link between air pollution and motor neuron disease risk, and the use of fremanezumab for pediatric migraine.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Dr. Brian Hooker, PhD — Senior Director of Science and Research at Children's Health Defense and co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak. Brian shares his personal journey as a father whose son regressed into autism following his 15-month vaccines, and how that experience drove over 20 years of research and advocacy. Together, they connect the dots between C-section birth, recurrent ear infections, acetaminophen, and vaccine injury — the full picture of the "perfect storm." Brian also recounts his relationship with CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson, the suppressed MMR data, the dangers of glyphosate and acetaminophen, and what Children's Health Defense is focused on to both heal kids already in the storm and prevent the next generation from entering it.-----Links & Resources:website: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/book: Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak (available on Amazon)-----Key Topics & Timestamps07:00 Brian's Personal Story: His Son's Birth, Early Development, and the Perfect Storm09:00 The 15-Month Well-Baby Visit: Vaccines, Ear Infection, and the Regression into Autism13:00 C-Section Deep Dive: Birth Trauma, the Brainstem, and the Neurological Connection20:00 Finding an Integrative Pediatrician and the First Hair Metals Test22:00 The CDC Calls and Dr. William Thompson: From Dismissal to Whistleblower25:00 What the Suppressed MMR Data Actually Showed29:00 The Origin of Vax-Unvax and the 100 Studies That Changed Everything34:00 Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: What the Science Says About Children's Health42:00 Beyond Vaccines: Glyphosate and Acetaminophen as Neuro-Immune Threats47:00 Healing Protocols, CHD's Mission, and Preventing the Next Generation's Perfect Storm-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

A Knee Recovery Nightmare! Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis.  From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold.  Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee.  I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain.  Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms.  Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint.  I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement.  I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news.  I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation.  He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time.  I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR.  Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries.  All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities.  I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25.  All went well and as expected with the surgery.  I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital.  I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day.  My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op.  Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally.  I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications.  My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing.  I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain.  Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong.  A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home.  Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain.  I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day.  My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her.  Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension.  My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak.  Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement.  My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark.  I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA).  My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement.  All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms.  My surgeon had done his job.  I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue.  This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes.  I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day.  I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA.  An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again.  However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure.  I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament.  My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago.  My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either.  I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee.  I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee.  My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband.  I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes.  I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat.  I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen,  Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin.  I was soooo sick of taking medications.  I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management.  Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain.  My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace.  Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M.  I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor.  Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation.  I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee.  The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours.  A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure.  At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control.  I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind.  A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation.  I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death.  I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period.  Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain.  I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions.  I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks.   At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic.  I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control.  I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now.  I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression.  My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card.  This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services.  Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs.  She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms.  We met for over an hour.  She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try.  I purchased three of her recommendations.  I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week.  The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!!  One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me.  When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10.  I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids.  They encouraged me to explore it more.  After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him.  PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources.  I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response.  I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour.  As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI.  PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program.  To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.”  I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks.  Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA.  I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them.  Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan.  Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly.  Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA.  I notified PJ of my  plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up.  The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks.  I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already.  The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief.  I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain.  Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane?  What if that didn't work?  What meds could I then take if in pain?  What about my leg position – straightening and bending?  How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim?  How am I going to sleep at night?  Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control?  What if it doesn't work?  Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA.  I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs.  My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy.  Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating.  I had the 2nd MUA  on January 18.  I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day.  My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date.  It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life.  My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day.  Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle.  Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence.  I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed.  Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods?  Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications?  Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me?  Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them?  Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers?  Would I really be returning home in as little as  just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success?  It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening.  While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable.  In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain.  I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet.  I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle.  I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees.  My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future.  The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager.  My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting.  My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip.  She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan.  She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement.  I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion.  My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able.  I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success.  The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.  I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

If pain is a portal, what's on the other side? We invited functional pharmacist and men's health coach Rob Kress to help us challenge the default settings of modern care...more meds, more noise, less self. Rob shares how he moved from conventional pharmacy to a practice that blends functional medicine, clinical nutrition, and mind‑body work, and why the real turning point for so many men is a regulated nervous system and the courage to tell the truth.We dig into the moments most men avoid. The numbness that follows chronic stress, the swing between agitation and apathy, and the quiet stories they keep buried deep. Rob offers simple, practical resets like two minutes to breathe before a hard talk, a short burst of movement to discharge stress, and five minutes of daily silence to build safety and presence. From there, we unpack testosterone: when TRT helps, when it masks a deeper issue, and how thyroid, adrenals, sleep, alcohol, and cannabis shape libido and drive more than most realize.Our conversation gets real about America's medication reflex. SSRIs and benzos can bring relief, but they often mute feeling and complicate long‑term healing. Rob shares how to taper thoughtfully with breathwork, body‑based therapy, a good team and a plan.We also explore autism through a systems lens. Acetaminophen's impact on glutathione, the difference between folic acid and folate, the promise of folinic acid for speech in some kids, and how dairy may elevate folate receptor autoantibodies. It's not about single causes. It's about looking at every angle.We close with agency. Interview your doctors, curate a care team, and choose tools that align with your values. The path to health and healing is meant to be co‑creative. Show up for the meaningful work, focus on the what, and release the need to control the timeline.

For the next few weeks, the guys will be re-airing some of their favourite episodes from our archives.After debriefing about the return of Jimmy Kimmel (1:15), in the second emergency podcast in as many weeks, Asif and Ali discuss President Trump's recent press conference linking autism to Tylenol use. Ali starts off by asking Asif about autism (8:27). Asif discusses what it is, how common it is, and the theories about why the prevalence of autism has been increasing over the past 2 decades. He then goes over the genetic causes of autism and the common questions he asks if he sees a patient who he suspects may have autism. Finally they discuss current treatments for autism.The guys then go over what exactly Trump said in his press conference about Tylenol and autism (33:33), followed by Asif describing the studies which refute and support these claims. They also talk about the dangers of pregnant women not taking medications to treat fevers as well of the dangers of ibuprofen use in pregnancy. Finally, Ali asks Asif about the controversial link between autism and vaccines and disgraced physician Andrew Wakefield.

A large Lancet meta-analysis found no clinically meaningful association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability after restricting analyses to adjusted and sibling-comparison studies, with odds ratios essentially null; acetaminophen remains first-line for pain and fever in pregnancy. A Nordic BMJ case-control study of more than 17,000 gastric cancer cases found no increased risk of non-cardia adenocarcinoma with long-term proton pump inhibitor use after comprehensive confounder adjustment. Finally, a U.S. cohort study of older adults linked shingles vaccination to lower inflammation and slower biological aging across multiple systems, though causality cannot be confirmed due to observational design.

Send us a textThis discussion features Dr. Clyde Wright, Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, who studies perinatal innate immunity and neonatal lung injury. He highlights the rapid rise of acetaminophen as the most commonly used medication for ductal closure in preterm infants despite limited long-term safety data. Dr. Wright explains how acetaminophen metabolism via CYP2E1 produces a reactive metabolite that may affect mitochondrial function in developing lung cells, prompting consideration beyond hepatic toxicity markers. He encourages clinicians to remain judicious, especially outside optimal treatment windows, and calls for research incorporating respiratory outcomes and nuanced, individualized risk–benefit discussions at the bedside.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Common medications like Tylenol, statins, and diabetes drugs quietly deplete essential nutrients and stress your liver. Learn which five medications cause nutritional deficiencies, what nutrients they deplete, and actionable steps to restore balance while protecting your liver health through targeted supplementation and lifestyle changes. FEATURED SUPPLEMENT Liver Boost – Every medication you take passes through and stresses your liver, depleting essential nutrients like glutathione, CoQ10, and B vitamins. Liver Boost is specifically formulated to support your liver's detoxification pathways and help regenerate liver function.  Learn more: https://mswnutrition.com/products/liver-boost 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Acetaminophen Destroys Glutathione – Every dose of Tylenol depletes your liver's master antioxidant (glutathione), reducing your body's ability to detoxify and fight inflammation, which can lead to liver toxicity with long-term use. Statins Lower CoQ10 Levels – Cholesterol medications deplete CoQ10, a critical nutrient for heart and liver function that supports mitochondrial energy production. Anyone on statins should supplement with CoQ10 to prevent deficiency. Metformin Causes B12 Deficiency – This common diabetes medication depletes vitamin B12, leading to fatigue, nerve damage, and digestive issues. Long-term metformin users need regular B12 monitoring and supplementation. Birth Control Depletes Multiple Nutrients – Oral contraceptives reduce B6, B9 (folate), and magnesium levels, affecting liver function, hormone regulation, and overall health, especially problematic for women on long-term birth control. PPIs Create Dangerous Deficiencies – Acid-reducing medications like Nexium deplete B12, magnesium, and zinc, impairing digestion, liver health, and nutrient absorption, creating a vicious cycle of deficiency.

Most people assume that if a drug sits on the shelf at Costco or Walgreens, it must be pretty safe. But what if some of the most common over-the-counter (OTC) medications are among the riskiest drugs in America? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared exposes the hidden dangers behind everyday pain relievers, sleep aids, and heartburn drugs—medicines that cause thousands of deaths every year when misused or taken long-term. You'll learn how a drug becomes “OTC,” what happens when pharmaceutical companies push for that switch, and why the FDA's approval process might not tell the whole story. Jared dives into the startling realities of PPIs like Prilosec, NSAIDs like ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol)—uncovering their risks to the liver, kidneys, bones, and brain. He also discusses how marketing convinces consumers these drugs are harmless. Finally, Jared offers a resource for safe, natural alternatives for reflux, pain, inflammation, sleep, and immune support—options that nourish the body instead of depleting it. This episode will change the way you look at “harmless” OTC drugs and help you take real control of your health.Just Ingredients Lemon Swish Protein Powder Vitality Radio POW!

Review Part III - after the Attia Podcast After completing the interview with Dr. William Parker and now listening to Peter Attia's analysis, let us look again at this question. I repeat that the initial question has not changed for me. The first and most fundamental question to ask is this: What is the true value of acetaminophen in health compared with the potential risk if the associated findings are indeed correct? My response to this question has been altered by the analysis so far. I love this from Dr. Attia: "Some people might be wondering, why did you just take so long to explain all this to us? Why don't you just give us the answer? I just want the sound bite, man Peter's reply, “If you just want sound bites, you're never going to learn.” Honestly, if you just want sound bites, this isn't the podcast for you. But if you actually want to be able to learn to think for yourself, then that's what we're here to do. And that's the reason we killed ourselves over the past week to put together the most thorough gathering of all the data we could find and the most intense night-weekend analysis possible. " I agree! I believe that the science and data are key. So here goes - round three!..... Dr. M  

There is an in-depth episode on the Safety of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and Other OTC Medications During Pregnancy. Acetaminophen is an over-the-counter analgesic for pain relief and an antipyretic, which reduces fever. Acetaminophen is also known by the brand names Tylenol, Paracetamol, and Panadol. That episode covers the recently raised concerns about prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder. If you haven't listened to that one yet, it provides important background on how this controversy started and what the evidence says. After that episode aired, I received numerous emails from listeners who had additional questions. Let's take a look at some follow-up questions to navigate some specific scenarios and make an informed choice about acetaminophen.

Liz & Becca get raw and real about the FDA's recent announcement linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism risk—and why this research might just scratch the surface. They also unpack the deeper toll of social media attacks, faith in uncertain times, and how to stay grounded when the world feels out of control. Expect science-backed insights on glutathione depletion, gut health, and how painkillers can silently sabotage your body's systems. This one's part science, part soul, and all truth.

President Trump’s warning to pregnant women to stop taking Tylenol, based on his unproven claim that it can lead to autism, sparked widespread concern and many questions about what the science actually shows.

Setting: President Trump held a press conference after attending Charlie Kirk’s funeral, teasing it as a “major announcement” on autism and public health. Main Claim: Trump and RFK Jr. asserted that acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of autism in children. Trump directly warned against taking Tylenol while pregnant, except in extreme cases of high fever. Autism Statistics (as presented by Trump): Historical rates cited: 1 in 20,000 → 1 in 10,000 → 1 in 31 overall today, and as high as 1 in 12 among boys in some regions (e.g., California). He described this increase as “artificial” and linked it to medication and vaccines. Specific Policy Steps Announced: FDA to issue warnings and update labeling for acetaminophen, cautioning its use during pregnancy. NIH, FDA, CDC, and CMS to coordinate a new effort investigating potential environmental, pharmaceutical, and vaccine links to autism. New grant funding (13 awards) through NIH’s Autism Data Science Initiatives. Other Health Proposals Trump Raised: Vaccines: suggested spacing them out, avoiding certain ingredients (mercury, aluminum), giving MMR separately, and delaying hepatitis B vaccination until age 12. Treatment: referenced new findings suggesting folate deficiency in children may contribute to autism, with therapies under research. RFK Jr.’s Role: He emphasized that past autism research was too focused on genetics and ignored environmental/toxic exposures. Supported Trump’s push to investigate acetaminophen, vaccines, and other potential causes. Announced NIH/FDA would pursue depoliticized research, new label warnings, and public education campaigns.

On today’s episode of Stinchfield, we issue a warning about the recent revelation that increased Autism rates could be caused by Acetaminophen commonly known as Tylenol. Though the correlation may have merit, many doctors believe it's really the overwhelming number of vaccines given to your children that is at the root of the Autism problem. We are calling it, “The Tylenol Smoke Screen.” Could Tylenol really be the cause — or is it just the spark that ignites the deeper, vaccine-driven neurologic damage we are seeing? We cut through the lies, the cover-ups, and the coordinated effort to shift blame away from Big Pharma’s sacred cow — the vaccine schedule itself. This is about more than science; it’s about truth, accountability, and protecting our kids. We dig deep into the data, the testimonies, and Big Pharma's quest to keep you silent.
