Happy New Year!
We had a wonderful new year welcoming in 2006. Hope you did too.
The first interview on drug deaths was this morning, January 2, 2006.
Accidental Acetaminophen Poisonings Rise.
The doctor explained the hazards of taking anything with acetaminophen. And the bigger hazard of combing different over the counter drugs that have acetaminophen and it killing you because you did not know that the cold medicine had acetaminophen plus you took a pain reliever also. Boom now your liver is toxic and it could kill you.
In this article is tells that the CDC has known that there are an average of 56,000 emergency room visits and 100 deaths each year blamed on Acetaminophen. Wow, what a wonder drug. Kills 100 people each year and who knows how many more that they don’t catch.
Here is an article about it on yahoo.

Anyway, the doctor went on to say how as long as you stay in the recommended dosage, your safe.
No mater what, they follow that corporate medical way of CYA with the drug companies don’t they.
Worse yet, they have known about this for a long long time.
Give me a break, there is always some risk to your health when you take any drug.
So, do you know which drugs in your medicine cabinet have Acetaminophen in them?
Bet you don’t.
It’s time to do something else about your health instead of drugs, and yes over the counter medications are as bad, if not worse than the prescribed ones because you assume they are safe!
Take responsibility for your own health in 2006, don’t let the drug manufactures mislead you down the road to a slow toxic death.
