Pregnancy and Acetaminophen (Tylenol)

Public health advice(from MDs and hospitals) currently considers Tylenol use safe during pregnancy.

It is also know that about half of all pregnant women consume Tylenol as a solution for their pain and discomfort. 

A study just published out of the Journal of American Pediatrics
 in August of 2016 showed that Tylenol consumption by pregnant
women increased the baby having emotional symptoms by 
29%, hyperactivity by 31%, and total difficulties by 46%


This is a problem…and one that few doctors, let alone women and future mothers know about. 


So what if these mothers knew there was a
different solution that did not put their 
unborn baby at risk of having emotional, hyperactive, or neurodevelopmental problems

This brings us to a study from the Journal of Spine published in 2003(references below)

Three groups of patients who were in pain were split up and treated
One group got drugs(vioxx and celebrex), one group 
received acupuncture, and one group received chiropractic

The results showed that Chiropractic was 5 times better than the drugs and 3 times more effective than the acupuncture!

And…the patients in the Chiropractic group were considered the worst because they had been in chronic pain for the longest compared to the other 2 groups. 

Think about that, what if pregnant women knew about the effectiveness of Chiropractic and its low-risk no side-effects benefits for her or her growing baby! 

Once again, what the public doesn’t know can and will hurt them. 

Explore and experience the possibilities of chiropractic!

For your better health,

Dr. Heller
