hey i received this article some time back....

on the ill effects of Panadol and other pain killers:

Someone was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is
planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the
doctor quite well.

The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are
not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL). In fact, they will turn to
Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives. This is because Panadol is
toxic to the body, and it harms the liver.

According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least 5
years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident where an
air stewardess consumes a lot of panadol during her menstrual as she needs
to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash
her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.

As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it
is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative
solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2 cans
of isotonic drink (eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a
ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100 plus, one cup water or
2 cups water). Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and
it seems to work well. Another method will be to submerge your feet in a
basin of warm water so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing
head. As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser
would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).

We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go through
childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a
substantial amount of Panadol (pain killer) when you need to have a
surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anesthetic to
numb your surgical pain than the average person who seldom or rarely takes
Panadol. If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life
(migraine, menstrual cramps) it is very likely that normal general
anesthetic will have no effects on you as your body is pumped full with
panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much
stronger pain killer, Morphine????

The thought is scary enough to turn me to Chinese Herbal Medicine or other
healthier alternative.

Value your health, value your life, THINK before you easily pop that
familiar pill into your mouth again.


THINK ABT THIS.....LIVE HEALTHY.
