This lady claims to have been taking 1000 hydros per week, below is the following medical information forwarded to Ms. Winfrey. I think this lady is big trouble and full of sh**. This lady was ingesting according to her own claim 500 to 750 grams of tylenol per week a min. of 7 times the lethal dose per day.
Taken in overdose, the liver's normal processing of acetaminophen is overwhelmed and the back-up system the liver uses to get rid of the drug produces a toxic substance. A dose of 10 grams to 15 grams or less, can produce liver injury. An ingestion of 25 grams or more can lead to fatal liver disease. Symptoms of acetaminophen overdose include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and, rarely, shock that occur four to 12 hours after ingestion. Liver injury becomes apparent two to three days after the overdose.
