I wouldn't have thought of it either lizanne, had it not been for BIEL, the FDA and iHub and its BIEL posters. Many of the "Good Guy" (and gals, yourself included of course) have opened my eyes, going back to about 2010-2011 long before I signed up here. We had no choices then, actually even now, for drug-free, side-effect free pain management in this country. I don't much care what happens anywhere else until I can go into Walgreens and buy an ActiPatch. Not to fully support this paradigm shit in pain management is almost un-American as the continued over-use of drugs continues to hurt and kill us in our country. We don't have to go to war anywhere to solve someone else's latest political issues, we are proving we are able to kill ourselves quite efficiently right here at home. Look up the data on Tylenol 3's and see the warnings - Tylenol 3's!

If 80% of the painkillers consumed today globally are consumed here in the US, then here's a little pearl - a 2003 study showed that Tylenol 1, 2, 3 and 4 controlled 35% of the North American painkiller market. That of course would include Canada and Mexico, but so what!

Annnnd, straight from Wikipedia, "acetaminophen, including Tylenol, causes three times as many cases of liver failure as all other drugs combined,[20] and is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States, accounting for 39% of cases." Must be careful when thinking about the last numbers, that's all acetaminophen, not just Tylenol, but, again, so what! Drug-free, side-effect free, smart, common sense, looking after Americans.
