U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce that use of the popular over-the-counter pain medication Tylenol, first used clinically in the U.S. in 1950, in pregnant women is potentially linked to autism, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter, without including evidence for the claims.
Kennedy, in the report, will also suggest a medicine derived from folate called folinic acid can be used to treat symptoms, but not cure victims of autism in some people, the WSJ reported.

Potentially, might, may, could…. but nothing that confirms it does.

I, for one, do not trust heroin users on anything related to health. It’s like trusting a gambler who has filed for bankruptcy 3x how to invest.

I’ve never been a fan of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) compared to other alternatives out there, especially for long-term usage. It has worked *absolute wonders* for some things out there (it actually was surprisingly effective at mitigating some of the symptoms of COVID.) But its useful dosage is so damn close to dosages that are toxic to the liver and kidneys that *so many people* ignore the recommended dosage due to Darwin’s „morer is betterer“ crowd.
>Tylenol is the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide and the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States.
Like pseudoephedrine; but for a different reason; it should be one of those semi-OTCs with a purchasing process that’s a little more complicated than just picking it up off the shelf. Whether it’s behind a locking-mechanism opened by a brief quiz & disclaimer done by voice, a brief-consultation from a lightly-trained cashier, or even by a bi-annually renewing pharmacist ‚for everyone ‚ prescription after you’ve heard or listened to a video of its spiel.. tylenol overdosing can be very damaging and has well-in-reach side-effects should be a lot more broadcasted.
I knew a fairly intelligent person who was dosing them just a little more frequently than recommended and an extra tablet for chronic issues, thinking nothing of it. As they got older, the dosage and frequency creeped and entered the excessive. Absolutely her fault, but I think the popping stigma of OTCs in our country tends to drive complacency. Eventually, she began having some on-going health problems, couldn’t figure it out for a while, but luckily had a good doctor who finally asked the right question. When answered, the doctor pretty much dropped their jaw and gave the spiel. *And I think we’ve all seen that one OTC popper in the workplace who insists it’s ok.*
I don’t know if RFK is using real, properly researched sources for his claim – but with the substance at least Tylenol is definitely a bigger issue than we like to recognize. Be careful with it and talk to a doctor, especially for long-term usage. Further, especially with what I know about „OTC pill poppers,“ I’m sure issues during pregnancy for arise with creeping, excessive dosages taken too quick. *And there is very little margin for dosage above recommended dosage before you hit damaging doses, especially with ‚maximum strength‘ pills.* In some high-dosage formats, even just pill or two (not to mention an extra pill or two every 4-6 hours) can put you into very dangerous ranges.

It has to be one of these two things, guys. These are the only possibilities.

Tylenol destroys kidneys and liver, wouldn’t be surprised if it gets linked to autism.

Are there some scientific papers out there to corroborate this?

My son is on the asd (level 1) and I never took a single medication while pregnant and we got a ton of genetic testing done and it doesn’t run on either side of the family. Not sure if this is the culprit….

Is there anything this guy *doesn’t* link to autism?
