Acetaminophen & Paracetamol Overdose with Coronavirus and Alcohol
Hello, this is Dr. Donald Fox in Fort Lauderdale beach, Florida.
I received the American Cancer Society Award for the highest scores on pathology examinations over a two-year period. I also received the Southeastern Board of Prosthodontics Award for outstanding achievements, contributions, and performance in prosthodontics (false teeth). I was recognized for my research with oral surgeon Dr. Robert Campbell on patients who experienced numbness in their lower lip and chin after jaw surgery, wisdom teeth extractions, and broken jaws. For this, I was awarded the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology Award.More credentials can be found here >.
Hello, this is Dr. Donald Fox. This is Wednesday night, April 1st of the month, already 2020. I'm an orthodontists and award winning researcher in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You can go to www.reallystraightwhiteteeth.com and see my credentials where you'll see that I graduated number one in my dental class at the medical college of Virginia and did a residency at university of Tennessee in orthodontics. It is there where my master's degree research and the cause of birth defects by acetaminophen, which is all of a sudden known as Paracetamol or Tylenol where birth defects were noted from animal studies that were carried out the same way as the FDA does, but they were doing a very archaic way. We actually use, computers and we use x-rays and we confirmed that there were birth defects on these were animal studies. A caution has given on humans taking Tylenol and we also found out that the drug is a very big molecule. So, therefore if you take it while drinking or the next day for a hangover or if you've had the flu, this large size molecule, let's just get the guy idea. That molecule was this long. I'm just, you know, being showing you an Advil and aspirin is this long. So the molecule of this drug is so big, the liver has a hard time dealing with it. How am I able to talk to you about this? This is the largest master's thesis in the history of the university of Tennessee and over 90 years, this is over three inches thick that I won world research awards. It is also recognized by the university of Michigan human body growth center. Uh, the animal studies had over 100,000 measurements and verified that caution should be given to women taking this because most women who take this on the 13th day of pregnancy, they don't even know they're pregnant and caused all these problems.
The animals had severe rate of stillbirths, which the FDA States a drug with this rate of stillbirth is not supposed to be on the market. I'm not advocating to take it off the market. I just say it doesn't have enough warning labels about this. It is not a safe drug to take while pregnant. That's my belief. This recharge was recognized by the highest research award given by the hairy sister award by the American association of orthodontists. The Warren's right over on this way, on the behind me, on the wall and all the other wards behind me are also for this research. You can also find it as a thesis, uh, at the library of uh, American association of orthodontists in Chicago. Any drug you use must be metabolized and broken down into smaller chemicals by the liver. The liver has a very hard time breaking this huge acetaminophin molecule down.
When you have the flu or any virus like the coronavirus are even been drinking because it puts the liver in a weakened state and then you pump some Tylenol and even at the regular doses that they recommend, it can be damaging to the liver. You go on Google and put liver damage from acetaminophen overdoses and suicide, you'll be shocked what you read. This has been going on since 1977 I believe in the drug as a pain drug. But it's not given the public enough warning. You can also look and find that in England in 1977 it was called the black play cause something was going on there where people were depressed. And what happened is people started committing suicide with it. You can actually cause suicide with just this much pills a little bit more. It depends on the person and their other medical condition.
So much so that the big bottles like this a long time ago that in England and other European countries they made um, Tylenol company and acetaminophen couldn't come in big bottles cause they were trying to decrease the overdosage. So anyway, I think the label should be used to warn the public. But let's move on to why we're talking about this and the Coronavirus is that the concern today is that the Coronavirus is also being discussed about you should be, not taken ibuprofen there. There's French doctors that advise against use of ibuprofen, which comes as Motrin, Advil and other generic aversions. But based on the reports of other healthy people that have confirmed with Corona, the Covad 19 virus, that they somehow got a worse than condition and also the pneumonia. They're only observations and still yet there's all in, there's no base scientific studies who, which has been overseeing this whole, uh, pandemic with the coronavirus as recommended using a Siena manifest as a ibuprofen.
But now with rapid changes and recommendations create uncertainty, uh, the doctors now are a little bit more prudent and they're actually saying that they, you can take ibuprofen also so that if you do use a SITA manifests, they recommend a total dose, not exceeding 3000 milligrams. Um, basically what that is, is each one of the pills here is 500 milligrams. So you take two pills a day, two pills every six hours, um, but you don't want to take it every six hours. You, you would not take it like before bed or somewhere because right there, if you have the flu, you shouldn't be taken over six pills in one day. And what's going to happen is I've seen it before his people go, I got a little bit of a headache or I got a little bit of flu. Oh, I'm going to take a lot more of these.
So they like to, I'm going to take four and five. No, no, no. The liver can't handle that. Even on the side of this that I just showed you right here, I read it, um, States at no more than, uh, eight pills in one day. But otherwise if you take more than six, they also say you need to contact your doctor because with the flu, your liver is going to be in a compromised situation. The other thing is that even says overdose warnings on the label, you need to read these labels also. You can't drink more than three or more alcoholic drinks. I don't recommend drinking at all with Tylenol. Knowing what I know. And there's also some of the class action shoots involving the damage of the liver with Tylenol out of Atlanta law firm that I was involved with that I sent them my thesis and how much they used it.
I don't know, but they are definitely aware that this problem exists. I, to me, it's a safe drug. Advil, I believe as a safer drug. If he asked me, um, am I gonna take, if I get the Coronavirus or I get any flu, um, I'm taking Advil. I really am. And if you suspect that you're allergic or some other problem with acetaminophen, you should take Advil also. So the purposes videos educate you, you go on Google, you find out the truth by yourself. I try to narrow this down as much as I can. I do feel I am an expert with acetaminophen Paracetamol it's all the same name. They, all these drugs are given names. I don't know whether to confuse us or why it is, but they're all Tylenol, Acetaminophen Paracetamol, I believe the liver has a hard time breaking this down and I'll, I'll take Advil. Add goal, um, is used mainly in discomfort by the way, but uh, Tylenol is great for pain. Like if you break your leg. Also, if you're having a hard time of stress and your drink, and please don't be taking a Tylenol when you've been drinking. I want to thank you for watching this video. Again, my name is Dr. Donald Fox, orthodontists and Fort Lauderdale beach. I have 10 locations from Boca Raton to South beach. Have a good evening.
