Reed S. Oxman M.D. asked:




Popping two Tylenol tablets has become as common as drinking orange juice for their medicinal effects. The generic name for Tylenol is Acetaminophen. However, due to the many Pharmaceutical companies needing to show a yearly profit to their shareholders, there probably exists in the neighborhood over 100 different trade names for Tylenol.

How did Tylenol become so popular? If you were to count the number of different television commercials for this one product, of course each commercial represents a different trade name production, you could reach close to if not equal to 100 different trade names. These trade products differ by the fillers used to make a pill, the packaging, the name, and of course the price.

Tylenol is one of the very few medications found on board every commercial aircraft. How did it make it on board? Well, it had to pass a numerous number of strict barriers. How did it do this? Well, it has to have a low toxicity, a wide range of the number of pills between no effects to a nontoxic effect that a flight attendant could be trusted not to overdose a client.

What do the airlines use as their source book on the actions, effects, dosages, potential hazards, minimal if any side effects, and potential if any for addiction. The corporate highly paid individuals of every airline (an example of one means of transportation that offers it to their customers) use the Physicians Desk Reference or PDR as their source or Bible for the answers to all their questions. Why the PDR? Because it is the book used in every physicians office or clinic, in every hospital and so on. Now why is this the case? Because the book is completely free to Physicians no matter where they practice.

How does a medication get into the PDR and who overseas what is printed in this book about each drug? Well, the best way to answer these questions is to draw a parallel between the PDR and the Bell and AT & T yellow pages. What do I mean by this? The only way that a business gets listed in the yellow pages, and what is advertised about this business is dependant strictly upon the number of dollars paid to the producers of the yellow pages. A business can say anything they wish to as long as they pay for space used.

So how are the Yellow Pages similar to the PDR? Consider them twin siblings. What medications and what are said about these medications are also dependent strictly on what a company pays for the space to advertise their product. Do Physicians truly rely upon the PDR as the pharmaceutical commercials and advertisements would lead us to believe? Of course not. However, the American public have been brain washed to believe that if the PDR says that Tylenol is a great pain killer, a great anti headache medication, an antipyretic (normalizes a fever), and all the other numerous actions attributed to Tylenol, that it must be true. And this is how we come to find 1-2 shelves full of different trade named Tylenol containers, with a wide range of prices depending of the visual aspect of the packaging in every pharmacy or large grocery store.

Well then the question comes up rather quickly, “What are the proven actions of Tylenol.” Until just a few years ago, all the actions that you have been told were attributed to Tylenol, were all based on old wives tails. Not until a few years ago was Tylenol finally put through a controlled double blind study to answers these questions. This was a very large study, involving more than a thousand patients in one large hospital in the U.S. and one large hospital in Britain.

Well, what where the results? What are the true actions of Tylenol that we should be paying for and which actions are purely false advertising. According to this well accepted study which was carried out without any significant problems, the results found that Tylenol has one and only one therapeutic action on the human body and that is an antipyretic (lowers the temperature) effect on a fever in both children and Adults. So now, let us return to our original question about what over the counter medications such as Tylenol should we always pack when traveling?

Before this final answer is given, we need to understand how do we explain all the advertising for Tylenol that we hear almost every day of our lives. We are told that it stops headaches, it is a cold medication, and it is a medication for pain. If these same advertising agencies add on the words extra strength, we are then told emphatically that we have each of the previous effects but even stronger and faster acting against those symptoms. It is freedom of speech that allows all these lies to be televised, broadcasted on the radio, and written in periodicals.

Thank goodness, there exists another over the counter medication called Motrin (also called ibuprofen, Advil and so on) which again is one medication with one generic and numerous trade names. This is the better medication to take with you in its generic form of ibuprofen. It can act as an antipyretic, it is a pain killer, it reduces inflammation, and it is easier on the stomach than is aspirin that has the same actions.

Therefore the moral of the story is that everyday we are deliberately lied to in the name of money. What is important is to learn the truth, teach the truth, and live the truth. Maybe in the future, when our peoples have colonized several nearby planets, what we hear has a chance of being the truth since we might have, by then, a government that is an example to us of living the truth. Until then, keep reading periodicals, read books, go to lectures and keep working you brain like a muscle so that you will automatically pack ibuprofen when traveling and not Tylenol.

Many people in our modern society rely on pills for every ache and pain they encounter. Some say this is due to the widespread use of illegal drugs that began in the 1960′s. Whether or not that is so, it is true that pharmaceutical companies are making great amounts of money through the sale of prescription drugs. Many of those drugs are being used for migraine relief.

Natural migraine relief using vitamins, minerals, and herbs is, to some, a better route. These migraineurs would rather not put chemicals into their bodies unless absolutely necessary. Just as they want no chemicals added to the soil or the air around them, they want to rely on natural migraine relief.

What to Try

If you choose natural migraine relief using vitamins, minerals, and herbs, you will want to consider the following possibilities.

1. Vitamin B2: Also known as riboflavin, vitamin B2 is said to produce dramatic migraine relief. In a 3-month study of 55 people with migraine headaches, it was found that riboflavin can make a significant difference in the number of migraines you have and the length of each attack. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that a daily dose of about 400 mg. of vitamin B2 over a period of 2 months or more gave remarkable migraine relief. Most of those who participated in this study saw the number of their migraines decrease by about 50 percent. The total number of days they suffered migraine also went down by 50 percent. While a larger study is needed, these results are encouraging to those who want natural migraine relief using vitamins, minerals, and herbs alone.

2. 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan): 5-HTP (a natural supplement) is not found in appreciable amounts in food. This supplement is manufactured from the seeds of an African plant, the scientific name of which is Griffonia simplicifolia. The supplement 5-HTP works, at least in part, by raising serotonin levels. Since the body uses 5-HTP to make serotonin, it is thought that providing the body with 5-HTP might raise serotonin levels. In a 6-month trial of 124 people, a daily dose of 600 mg. of 5-HTP proved just as effective as the standard migraine relief drug, methysergide. The most impressive benefits were decreases in the intensity of migraine, and decreases in how long the migraine lasted. Since earlier studies proved that methysergide was better than a placebo for migraine headaches, this scientific study gives meaningful evidence that 5-HTP is also effective. Those who are seeking natural migraine relief using vitamins, minerals, and herbs may want to try this supplement.

3. Magnesium: In the realm of minerals, magnesium is a promising natural for migraine relief. Magnesium occurs naturally in many of our foods: fish, nuts, seeds, soybeans, whole grains, and vegetables. The effectiveness of magnesium for migraine relief has been the subject of several studies. In one study, 81 people with migraine headaches received either a daily dose of 600 mg. of magnesium or a placebo. At the end of the 9-week study, those taking magnesium daily found they had nearly 50 percent fewer headaches. The placebo group had a reduction of just under 16 percent. Similar studies indicate that magnesium reduces not only the frequency of migraine headaches, but also the seriousness of the attacks. More studies are needed, but magnesium is thought to help prevent blood vessel spasms. You may want to try this mineral for migraine relief.

4. Butterbur: Migraine relief in children is often effected with this herb. As reported in a 2005 issue of “Headache” regarding migraine, butterbur gives migraine relief. Of several studies done, the largest involved 245 people. Over a period of 4 months, these migraineurs took either a placebo or a twice-daily 50-75 mg. dose of butterbur extract. At the end of the study, it was found that the larger dose of butterbur gave greater migraine relief than the placebo. Side effects were mild, making this an option to consider for natural migraine relief.

5. Feverfew: Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is one herb that has provided natural migraine relief for many centuries, or so people have believed. Feverfew relieves pain and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It treats migraine by inhibiting the platelets’ release of blood vessel-dilating substances. It also inhibits the production of inflammatory substances. The scientific community has run several studies to evaluate feverfew’s effectiveness in giving migraine relief. One study involving 170 people offered either a placebo or a feverfew extract for migraine relief. Those who took feverfew were found to have significantly fewer migraine headaches per month than those taking the placebo. The frequency with feverfew decreased by 1.9 migraines; with the placebo by 1.3 migraines. It is important for you to know that not every study indicates that feverfew is effective. Results are mixed.

CAUTION: Before relying on natural migraine relief using vitamins, minerals, and herbs, seek the advice of a qualified health care provider. These natural remedies are not for everyone. Feverfew, for example, may interact with blood-thinning medications and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs).
