OMG! I was reading this article called “Rare But Real Dangers Of Ibuprofen from The Momnificent Blog. This young mom apparently ingested a few doses of her son’s Children’s Motrin to treat her headaches and fever but ended up almost losing her life to Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. She was in a coma with feeding tubes and on life support because her body burned from the inside out! What’s more scary is that this young mom had taken ibuprofen all her life and had no adverse reaction to it. Apparently, NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal, Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, such as ibuprofen) is completely unpredictable and one can’t be tested to see if they will have a massive reaction to it like the one suffered by this young mom. For more details on what actually happened to her click on The Momnificent blog link above and see this young mom’s pics as well.
She is advising people to consider a safer alternative which is the acetaminophen contained in Tylenol products. I immediately threw the Motrin products we have at home after reading this article. For those of you who personally know me, I really take mom care and my whole family’s wellness very seriously.
Now speaking of Tylenol, I just got an email from a friend advising us that some Children’s Tylenol are on recall because of an inactive ingredient that didn’t pass quality control. Check the Tylenol lot numbers you have at home and see if it matches the ones on their recall list.

Wow that is scary. I have read an article about tylenol not being good for kids. I will have to see if I can dig that up. That is actually scary about the motrin.
Wow, that’s scary Cherrie! The whole drug industry is something to be very aware of. That’s another reason I do what I do to educate people and have them know if they take great nutritional supplementation, they won’t need meds. I myself got off 5 different meds over 15 years ago and my son was absent from school only 1 day between the age of 8 and 18 years old and he doesn’t take any meds either.
Thank you so much for sharing!

I’m with you about avoiding any meds at all! Haven’t been a fan of those eversince. What kind of supplements do you take? My daughter has allergies with synthetic stuff. Her face gets all puffy whenever I give her any supplement. There’s one that I wanna try for her, the brand is called Standard Process, supposedly organic but she needs to be tested first.

Tylenol isnt particularly safer either. Tylenol Toxicity Syndrom is well known in major ERs. (aka acetominophen toxicity). I actually moved to ibuprophen after having trouble with acetominophen. People these are CHEMICALS we are talking about. If you need them you need them – but lets not forget this fact.

Yes, I totally agree with you, Kim. Prevention should really be they key and not rely on medication if you really don’t have to.
