[2011 July] Paracetamol should not be used for infectious fevers - revisited by Hilary Butler People should realise that normal therapeutic doses of paracetamol can cause liver damage, and that the use of paracetamol accounts for over 400 liver transplants a year in the USA. Furthermore, there are serious questions being raised about it, given that 65% of pregnant women use paracetamol regularly. .. there is plenty in the medical literature to show that not only does paracetamol increase the duration of the flu, and the likelihood of dying, it does the same for when it comes to ALL infections INCLUDING meningitis.

[2009] Behind the Label: Calpol by Pat Thomas
Researchers who analysed data on more than 200,000 children found strong links
between their exposure to paracetamol as infants and the development of asthma,
eczema and other allergies at age 6-7.
Fever often develops during an infection. Although we
generally think of fever as a bad thing, fever enhances the inflammatory
response of the body, and certain components of the immune system work optimally
at increased body temperature. Also fever helps to limit the growth of some
germs that cannot grow well at higher temperatures.
Suppressing fever with medicines like Calpol interferes with
this essential mechanism.
For children, fever can serve another important function. Our
children are not born with mature immune systems and fever is one way of
activating and 'educating' the immune system to respond when needed. Because of
this, temperatures up to 39 C (102 F) don't usually provide sufficient grounds
for action unless your child is prone to convulsions.

use, measles-mumps-rubella vaccination, and autistic disorder

The present study was performed to determine whether acetaminophen (paracetamol)
use after the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination could be associated with
autistic disorder. This case-control study used the results of an online
parental survey conducted from 16 July 2005 to 30 January 2006, consisting of 83
children with autistic disorder and 80 control children. Acetaminophen use after
measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was significantly associated with autistic
disorder when considering children 5 years of age or less (OR 6.11, 95% CI
1.42—26.3), after limiting cases to children with regression in development (OR
3.97, 95% CI 1.11—14.3), and when considering only children who had
post-vaccination sequelae (OR 8.23, 95% CI 1.56—43.3), adjusting for age,
gender, mother's ethnicity, and the presence of illness concurrent with
measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. Ibuprofen use after measles-mumps-rubella
vaccination was not associated with autistic disorder. This preliminary study
found that acetaminophen use after measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was
associated with autistic disorder.

'Don't give kids painkillers before shots'
"Can low glutathione create problems with environmental toxicity? Most of
the time ER doctors leave biochemistry to the internists, but glutathione
is important in the emergency room because of Tylenol overdoses. Tylenol
is a very safe molecule unless you take too much. It
is metabolized in your body by glutathione. Our body
renders the Tylenol metabolite nontoxic and then we
excrete it. If you have taken too much Tylenol and it overcomes the
store of glutathione in your body, you can no longer metabolize the
Tylenol, it becomes toxic, kills your liver, and then you die. The
treatment for a Tylenol overdose in the ER is to administer a precursor
to glutathione called N Acetyl Cysteine. Tylenol is
just one example, but if you are already low in
glutathione it’s going to take a lot less of any toxin
to cause trouble. This makes sense. It explains why our children are
particularly vulnerable to environmental toxicity, even with toxins that
are relatively safe for other people."
Standard medical advice is to suppress all fevers with Calpol
(paracetamol) or Ibuprofen. This is not very helpful when fever is a
useful response to infection with a virus or bacterium and runs contrary
to the body’s natural attempts to throw out toxins and right itself. In
addition, Calpol is metabolised in the liver. The liver is a major
component of our immune system and is generally much better occupied in
carrying out its immune functions during an illness than blocking itself
up detoxifying Calpol.
If you look carefully at children after they have been supportively
nursed through an infectious disease, you will always see them do
something new, depending upon their age and circumstances. An infant may
produce a tooth; a toddler who kept banging into things will walk
confidently; a six-year old who is not reading will suddenly start to
read. It is rather like a snake that has to crack off the old skin
before it can grow, children go through these crises before they can
move on to the next step. I have often seen children with endless snot
or lots of warts have both of these cleared by a healthy bout of chicken
pox.
Such infectious diseases do not improve the population, in the harsh
Darwinian view of things, by killing off the weak and leaving only the
strong ones to reproduce; they actually give each individual child the
opportunity to strengthen their own individual immune system and make
the best of what they have.
However, we as a society are not set up to allow the timely unfolding
of such events. We teach people to fear all symptoms and expect their
immediate removal. In the UK more than 50% of mothers with children
under five work away from home, so are not there when their children
need to be nursed. So they give them the calpol plus or minus the
non-indicated (for viral infections) antibiotics and/or antihistamines
(to dry up that cough) so that they can send them back to school/
nursery/ childminder so they can get back to the office where time off
to care for sick children is not viewed so sympathetically as time off
to take the car to the garage, not to mention the intense pressure that
parents are put under by schools to have their children there every day
to keep up their attendance figures in order for the school not to be
penalised by the government.
Is it any wonder that so many children with measles end up in
hospital – the last place they should be with their lowered cell
mediated immunity, and that some of them die – and here I am talking
about well nourished children who live in houses and have clean water
supplies – not starving children in developing countries who are
suffering from malnutrition, live in inadequate, poorly ventilated
housing and drink sewage - where measles or infectious diarrhoea is the
last straw that breaks the camel’s back.
And so I reiterate, under normal conditions, if healthy children do
die from or become disabled from the complications of measles, questions
should be asked about their management. ---[Letter BMJ

BROOKLYN, NY -- April 13, 1998 -- Acetaminophen, the well-known and reliable over-the-counter analgesic, can cause serious damage to liver cells and tissues when an overdose is taken or it is used in combination with alcohol. In 1996 alone, 74,000 cases of acetaminophen toxicity were reported in the United States, according to United States Poison Control Centers figures.
''I was going through some old papers and found this, it was given to me when my
son got his last round of vaccines, the ones that changed his life forever. I
can't help but wonder if the Tylenol I was told to give, caused some of all of
the damage 😢 my
son developed a 105 fever after his shots, that lasted almost 5 days. The
doctors recommendation was to continue Tylenol every 4-6 hours, put him in a
short sleeve onesie, and give him cool baths. I was told it's proof of immunity
being built and its a good sign.'' 2017
