The number 1 cause of liver damage

I'm going to cut right to it. Anybody who knows me knows that I can give it to you straight up with no chaser. The number one cause of liver damage is the ingredient "acetaminophen". 

Over-the-counter pharmaceuticals drugs like Tylenol, Excedrin, NyQuil, Theraflu, and prescription painkillers Vicoden and Percocet all contain acetaminophen. This ingredient has forced almost 80,000 ER (emergency room) visits, 26,000 hospitalizations, and around 500 deaths annually. In alot of cases you could be damaging your liver without even knowing it and by the time you find out major damage may havr already been done.

Acetaminophen Poisoning Antidotes
Hospital emergency rooms are equipped with injectable or IV high potency NAC (N -acetylcysteine) to protect the liver from acetaminophen poisoning by stimulating master antioxidant glutathione production in the liver. Acetaminophen depletes glutathione. If depleted too rapidly, the liver is over-stressed to the point of acute liver failure. NAC supplements can be taken orally to increase or maintain your liver’s glutathione production.

If caught early enough, food grade activated charcoal powder administered orally can remove acetaminophen toxins effectively. Some ER vehicles are equipped with food grade activated charcoal powder for a variety of poison calls. Food grade activated charcoal powder is an excellent first aid item to have on hand.

It’s inexpensive and can be used as a chelator for detoxing now and then for a couple of weeks at a time by mixing the powder in water and drinking it, which is more effective than using capsules.
