Join Dr. William Parker as he discusses the connection between autism and acetaminophen on The Renegade Nutrition Podcast.
Here's the description about the webisode: "Acetaminophen use is almost universally promoted as safe for adults and children alike, but scientists have concluded that acetaminophen use in susceptible babies and young children causes many if not most cases of autism. Scientists link susceptibility to a variety of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that create brain inflammation and oxidative stress. In addition, well-known deficiencies in the metabolic breakdown of pharmaceuticals during dearly development help create susceptibility to acetaminophen-induced neurodevelopmental injury. Finally, scientists conclude that the scant evidence for long-term benefits of acetaminophen use in babies and small children is far outweighed by risk for neurodevelopmental injury.
Dr. William Parker has studied the effects of acetaminophen use in infants and children for over a decade, and today he presents his research. Please join us for an absolutely eye-opening conversation about the dangers of acetaminophen, and stay tuned as Kay and Elanie cover natural, risk-free alternatives to its use.
Dr. William and his team have put together a webpage tailored for moms, designed to help them understand the research: https://www.wplaboratory.org/tips-for-parents-and-caregivers
