-- Some Pain killing drugs such as Tramdol combine an opioid with acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol), further compromising the immune system with acetaminophen’s toxic effects on liver function, Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) is very hard on the liver, the body’s major organ of detoxification. A simple dosage mixup, such as giving a teaspoon of liquid acetaminophen vs. a dropperful, can cause liver damage, particularly in children. When the body is invaded by a virus or bacteria, the debris of the battle is processed through the liver. A compromised liver cannot effectively remove toxins caused by infection.
Most drugs compromise a normal functioning immune system. The question is -Can any one name a petro-chemical drug that doesn't compromise your immune system. I don't know any. Pharmaceutical drugs such as:
-- Corticosteroids - brand names such as prednisone are medications that treat conditions including arthritis, asthma, allergic reactions, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, sarcoidosis, or inflammatory bowel disease.
-- TNF inhibitors are medications that treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
-- Heartburn Drugs that suppress stomach acid.
-- Statin Drugs to lower cholesterol such as Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol.
-- SSRI Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil.
-- Proton pump inhibitors or PPIs such as Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec.
-- Opioid Drugs such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, codeine, and morphine block the immune system’s ability to attack viral and bacterial invaders.
-- Fake fragrances, also known as fakegrances, such as the (so called) air fresheners, scented laundry soaps and personal care products, candles, and most perfumes can be problematic, especially with young children and the elderly.
The website Pneumotox (www.pneumotox.com/)is run by two doctors in the Department of Pulmonary Diseases and Intensive Care Unit, University Hospital in Dijon, France. It lists more than 300 drugs along with their specific negative effects on the lungs, and has a rating system based on adverse effects reported in medical literature.
