See book keywords and concepts |  For the more discerning consumer, the company sold Tylenol Cool caplets, a sort of breath enhancer and pain reliever in one. The company covered the medicine caplets with a strong mint-flavored coating, which it described in its ads as "super cooling." The Cool caplets and Tylenol melt-aways were what Madison Avenue called brand extensions. The result was a potentially deadly pain reliever that looked and tasted like the sweet treats offered in a candy store. |

About Pseudoephedrine plus Ibuprofen
Being cold does not give you a cold, and having a cold does not make you cold: The common cold has litde to do with cold temperatures.
Colds are caused by viruses, and the rhinovirus is the usual suspect. This virus leaves an infected body via the nasal secretions, typically by hitching a ride on the individual's hands, which pass it the next victim's hands. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Valacyclovir (Valtrex) comes in 500 and 1000 mg caplets, famciclovir (Famvir) in 125 mg, 250 mg, or 500 mg tablets. The side effect profile of all of these meds is the same. The side effects are uncommon, but those reported are nausea, vomiting, and headache. They seem to be dose-dependent. There does not appear to be any long-term harm with the use of these meds, and there are few, if any, drug interactions. Essentially, this is a very safe medication class.
These meds are used for episodic treatment and for prevention. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Some OTC products, such as Advil Cold and Sinus caplets and Tylenol Sinus Daytime, contain pseudoephedrine along with other active ingredients.
Dangers: Increased blood pressure.. .rapid heart beat.. .insomnia.
What to do: Avoid caffeinated beverages because they can increase restlessness and insomnia. Do not use pseudoephedrine if you have taken an MAO inhibitor (a type of antidepressant) within the last two weeks—the combination can cause dangerously high blood pressure. |

Some of these heavily promoted over-the-counter drugs could be especially dangerous for the elderly, according to studies, but their easy availability made them appear as safe as soda or salad dressing. The heartburn drug Tagamet, for instance, was included on a well-known list of drugs that the elderly should avoid because it can cause dizziness, confusion, and memory problems. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  Tylenol Extra Strength "cool caplets," the latest craze among painkilling medications, makes these dangerous drugs appear harmless. It's both a breath mint and a pain reliever. But is it really a sound idea to add the temptation of flavoring to a pain-reliever that, by the FDA's own admission, plays a role in at least 100 reported (a fraction of the real figure) unintentional deaths each year? This may change now that the scandals surrounding drug approval and the revelations concerning shoddy research are increasingly being exposed; or will it? |

See book keywords and concepts |  Maitake caplets and D-fraction and MD-fraction extracts, beta-glucans derived from maitake that have antitumor activity, are available in health food stores. For increased health benefits when using the D-fraction extract, also take maitake caplets, as this will make the extract a whole food complex. The whole mushrooms are also available dried in grocery and health food stores, and can be added to foods such as soups and stews.

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Johnson & Johnson, the maker of Tylenol, has introduced Tylenol Cool caplets, a candy-like medicine that offers adult-strength pain medication with a strong, minty taste. This is described as “instant cooling” in advertisements and free samples are being handed out like candy, by skimpy girls wearing revealing outfits who are called the Tylenol Cool Caps Girls. It’s all part of a marketing campaign effort by Tylenol to make the Tylenol brand more hip and cool.
How bizarre is this? |

Step Two: Inhibiting the COX-2 Enzyme Rationale:
Pancreatic cancer cells use the COX-2 enzyme as biological fuel to hyper-proliferate. Levels of the COX-2 enzyme may be 60 times higher in pancreatic cancer cells compared to adjacent healthy tissue. Suppressing the COX-2 enzyme can dramatically inhibit pancreatic cancer cell propagation.
How To Implement:
Ask your doctor to prescribe one of the following COX-2 inhibiting drugs:
• Lodine XL, 1000 mg once daily
• Celebrex, 100-200 mg every 12 hours
• Vioxx, 12. |

One patient on Nardil developed a severe heart rhythm disturbance and another died when they added cold remedies containing PPA.7 Pseudoephedrine (an ingredient in Actifed, Advil Cold and Sinus, Dristan Sinus caplets, NyQuil, Sudafed, etc.) has been implicated in stroke and death when taken with an MAO inhibitor such as Nardil. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Available in health food stores, they are usually sold in powder form (though some companies offer capsules or caplets also) to be mixed into juices just before use. Kyo-Green from Wakunaga of America Company is one such drink. A powdered mix made from barley grass, wheatgrass, chlorella, Pacific kelp, and cooked brown rice, it can be mixed with quality water by itself or added to any juice (fresh is always best!) for extra nutrition.
Green drinks are very powerful and so may cause nausea and headaches at first. To avoid this, add quality water and sip slowly. | | For increased health benefits when using the D-fraction extract, also take maitake caplets, as this will make the extract a whole food complex.
