My mother in law told me that her son (my husband's brother) had a
virus or whatever when he was 5. She gave him aspirin for his fever
and he became diabetic.
My daughter's doctors told me to give her tylenol or ibuprofen when
she was young. For ear infections or after vaccines. Then when she
began developing seizures (at 15 months old...hugely coincidental
with her 15mnth vax??) then they kept telling me how it was febrile
seizures and how we simply need to keep the heat down. We were told
to dose tylenol on top of ibuprofen, round the clock. However, I
knew then that my daughter wasn't having a fever and then going into
seizures. They just kept telling me I was missing it, though I knew
I wasn't. (Again, when in doubt, blame parent).
I did already know that acetaminophen can deplete glutathione.
Interestingly, my aunt died accidentally in 1996 from taking too
much tylenol (it wasn't ruled a suicide by the coroner). I wonder
if my side of the fam and my dh's side of the fam are more sensitive
to these medicines.
I did not take any kind of pill whatsoever when pregnant.
But my daughter, she was given tons of the stuff.

I believe ibuprofen may deplete something else...but it escapes my
memory at the moment.
Here's another huge autism correlation I had NO idea of...did you?
Since 1984, ibuprofen has been available over the counter for
individuals aged 12 years and older. The drug was approved in 1989
for
use in children aged six months to 12 years.
About the same time as the autism epidemic?
Children with lots of ear infections probably get lots of pain
relievers. Maybe that's why the correlation with autism and ear
infections?
I knew the tylenol and ibuprofen were bad, but never really dug into
it. Being a child in the 80s, I had no idea ibuprofen use was so
new (OTC).
Both diabetics and ASD kids have low glutathione levels.
