A recent study looked at the toxicity of Tylenol (acetaminophen) use during pregnancy. The analysis of the data found children exposed to prenatal acetaminophen for more than 28 days, had significant declines in gross motor development, externalizing behavior, internalizing behavior and higher activity levels. The researchers state, “In clinical terms, these results suggest that exposure to acetaminophen for more than 28 days during fetal life increases the risk of adverse psychomotor and behavioral outcomes by almost 70% and doubles the risk of language problems in 3-year old children.”
Acetaminophen is not safe during pregnancy. Acetaminophen depletes glutathione in the body. Glutathione is the main enzyme that aids the body in detoxification. The antidote for acetaminophen toxicity is N-acetyl cysteine, which helps the body produce glutathione, says Dr. David Brownstein, a holistic family physician.
Dr. Brownstein adds, that taking acetaminophen, for children, before and after vaccines is not a smart thing to do either. Glutathione is needed for any toxic exposure. A lack of glutathione can be disastrous when the body requires it. Vaccines have toxic agents in them such as formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminium. When a vaccine is given, the detoxification pathways of the body are stimulated in order to neutralize the toxins.
A better way is to avoid the toxic exposure or take vitamin C before and after the vaccine. Vitamin C will aid the detoxification pathways of the body.
