Scientific Proof: Bruce Ivins did not "commit suicide" like the government and media proclaim

According to the FBI's definition of "suicide," everybody that dies
committed suicide.  "Suicide begins when brain activity ceases,"
assert FBI frame-up artists and corporate media propagandists.

Yes and it makes perfect sense why Ivins would choose, instead of
shooting himself with one of the firearms the FBI claims it seized
from his house and get it over with immediately, instead of doing that
he takes an overdose of tylenol and codeine over the weekend and says
to himself “Yes, I think I will make my last couple days on earth
mind-bending agony while the acetaminophen destroys my liver”. Right?
This story is so obviously fake it smells like a really REALLY bad
B-movie screenplay that was rejected for being too hackneyed and
unrealistic. Mad scientist. Secretly homicidal but not secretly. Yet
they let him carry on working in the biological weapons lab with his
security clearance. Devises his nefarious plot supposedly because he
wants to test his anthrax vaccine on human subjects and Ft. Detrick
only lets him test on animals. Come on! This story is patently
ridiculous on its face. Demand an autopsy. Check for needle marks in
odd places.

Dr. Bruce Ivins Suicide, Accident or Malpractice: Demand an Autopsy

It is clearly stated in medical literature that Tylenol and alcohol
can cause liver damage, liver failure even death.

Liver Failure from Acetaminophen Overdose and Toxicity

Some of the nation’s top researchers - including the National
Institute of Health (NIH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) -
have concluded that acetaminophen toxicity is the leading cause of
acute liver failure in the United States. In fact, some estimate that
up to 40 percent of liver failure cases are directly linked to
acetaminophen, a commonly used drug. A popular remedy for aches,
pains, fever, swelling, and symptoms of the common cold and influenza,
acetaminophen is found in more than 600 over-the-counter brand-name
and generic drugs, such as NyQuil, Aspirin-free Excedrin, Bayer Select
Maximum-Strength Headache Relief Formula, St. Joseph Aspirin-Free
Fever Reducer for Children, and all varieties of Tylenol.

When used appropriately and in small doses, acetaminophen is
considered extremely safe. But problems arise when medications
containing acetaminophen are taken by moderate to heavy drinkers,
consumed in large doses, or used by people who are not eating enough,
whether because of illness (such as the stomach flu) or fasting
practices. Taking acetaminophen under such conditions can quickly lead
to an extremely dangerous condition called acetaminophen toxicity.

Essentially, acetaminophen toxicity is the poisoning of the liver. It
occurs when the body cannot process acetaminophen quickly enough,
resulting in dangerous depletion of the level of glutathione in the
liver. In many cases, this breakdown leads to liver damage, then liver
failure or malfunction, and ultimately, death. Acetaminophen toxicity,
which kills about 100 people a year and resulted in 56,000 emergency
room visits last year alone, need not develop over a long period of
time, either. Just taking the drug in high doses during a weekend of
binge drinking or while fasting during a weeklong battle with the flu
can cause a lethal acetaminophen overdose. In other cases, taking the
maximum recommended dose of acetaminophen for an extended period of
time can cause acetaminophen toxicity.

Symptoms of acetaminophen overdose and/or toxicity include nausea,
vomiting, and abdominal pain, all of which can easily be mistaken as
signs of other illnesses. An exclusive minority may also exhibit signs
of chronic liver disease, which include gynecomastia, parathyroid
enlargement, testicular atrophy, and spider nevi. If you experience
any of these problems and have taken Tylenol or any other drug that
contains acetaminophen, it is imperative that you contact a medical
professional immediately for an evaluation before permanent liver
damage or failure occurs.

If you suspect a loved one has been affected by acetaminophen toxicity
or an acetaminophen overdose, contact our firm for legal
representation. We can help victims of acetaminophen related liver
damage or liver failure receive just compensation for their injuries.

Treating Acetaminophen Toxicity

The drug acetylcysteine is used to treat most cases of acetaminophen
overdose that is unrelated to alcohol. Typically, acetylcysteine is
administered repeatedly (every four hours) in measured doses (70
mg/kg) through a nasogastric tube for a period of 17 hours, with an
initial dose of 140 mg/kg kicking off the cycle. In some cases of
acetaminophen toxicity, acetylcysteine is administered intravenously.
Many medical professionals are also experimenting with herbal
remedies, although the Food and Drug Administration have approved
none.

Many people mistakenly believe that the primary cause of liver failure
is alcohol abuse. However, experts have concluded that while heavy
drinking can cause extensive liver damage and chronic liver failure
(liver failure that gradually develops), acetaminophen toxicity
(poisoning) is in fact the culprit in an estimated 38 percent of cases
of acute liver failure (rapid, unexpected deterioration of the liver).
Other sources claim it is responsible in more than 70 percent of
cases. However, researchers do agree on one thing: acetaminophen, when
not used precisely as directed, is dangerous, and the word needs to
get out.

Existing warning labels are not enough. Currently, the FDA requires
that every bottle of Tylenol and other drugs that contain
acetaminophen wear a label that reads,

“If you consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, ask your doctor
whether you should take acetaminophen or other pain relievers/fever
reducers. Acetaminophen may cause liver damage.”

Clearly, this label is insufficient. It does not inform users of the
dangers of using acetaminophen in high doses, for a prolonged period
of time, or in dangerous combinations. Although the FDA is making
strides in improving these labels - earlier this year, it proposed
that the warning be changed to “the risk of liver damage increases if
you have three or more alcoholic drinks while using acetaminophen.”
However, until people begin to understand the serious risks involved
with taking this drug, acetaminophen will remain an inherent danger.

acetaminophen toxicity, or liver failure contact our firm for legal

Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and Alcohol Deadly Mix

Excessive use of the pain reliever acetaminophen may lead to liver
failure and death, especially in alcoholics. Rates of coma and death
were highest in those admitted to a Dallas emergency room with
accidental — rather than suicidal — overdoses of the analgesic. A
higher frequency of chronic alcohol abuse among the patients with
accidental overdoses may be one explanation.

When acetaminophen is ingested at excessive amounts, toxins form which
can lead to life-threatening liver damage. However, the liver normally
secretes a toxin fighting compound called glutathione, which
counteracts the poison. Chronic alcohol abuse over time causes
“depletion of glutathione” — breaking down the body’s defense against
even slight overdoses of acetaminophen. The researchers note that
other victims of accidental overdose had been fasting while taking the
drug. They speculate that starvation may lead to reduced liver
glutathione levels, raising toxicity risks.

A spokesperson for McNeil Consumer Products Co., the makers of
Tylenol, says Lee’s study “underscores the need for more consumer
awareness, which we totally support. You’ve got to read and follow the
dosing instructions.” Those label instructions include an “alcohol
warning” which reads: “if you generally consume 3 or more
alcohol-containing drinks per day, you should consult your physician
for advice” on taking the pain reliever.

COMMENT: As mentioned in a previous newsletter this toxic liver
reaction can be completely avoided if one were to take the supplement
N-acetyl Cysteine or L-Glutlamine (usually about 500 mg one to three
times per day). These amino acids are two of the rate-limiting
components for the formation of glutathione. If one needs to take
acetaminophen for any reason on a regular basis it would be wise to
take these two supplements to limit liver damage. This study
emphasized the importance of this recommendation if one also consumes
alcohol on a regular basis. This is not an insignificant observation
considering 10% of our popluation are addicted to alcohol.
