Even though I recommend to my pregnant patients that they keep Advil, Tylenol and aspirin usage to a bare minimum, there is no direct causal effect between Tylenol (acetaminophen) and autism. If you took Tylenol while pregnant.... you did not cause your child's autism.

Here is the FDA's official letter;

💨 Everyday nasal spray shows surprising power against COVID—and more

A simple over-the-counter nasal spray, already used worldwide for allergies, may also protect against COVID-19.

In a phase 2 clinical trial led by Saarland University, Germany, researchers tested azelastine, a medication available in more than 70 countries. Over eight weeks, only 2.2% of people using the spray contracted COVID-19—compared to 6.7% in the placebo group. That’s a two-thirds reduction in cases.

Even more intriguing, azelastine also appeared to reduce symptomatic infections, respiratory illnesses, and even rhinoviruses (the common cold), hinting at broader antiviral effects. Scientists think the spray works by blocking viral replication directly in the nose and upper airways—the entry point for most respiratory pathogens.

Because it’s already approved for hay fever and allergies, azelastine could become an accessible, low-cost preventive option. While it’s not yet authorized as a COVID treatment, researchers say it may be especially useful for vulnerable individuals and during seasonal surges of respiratory infections. Larger, multicenter studies are now needed to confirm these results.

Mend IS Modern Healthcare.

Why come to Mend and not your General Practitioner? Because Mend bridges the gap between Eastern and Western Medicine for you and your entire family by becoming a liaison between ALL of your doctors. As a Primary Care Provider, Mend will treat you through Eastern Medical modalities and serve as a liaison with all of your western health care providers. Mend aims to keep you from needing western medications or more invasive treatments and interventions, but is here to guide you when it is necessary to go that route. Stacy Lauren-Kon is highly skilled at treating people of all ages, has advanced certification in Medical Pediatric Diagnosis, PTSD, and menopause.

Mend IS Modern Healthcare.

In addition to Eastern Medicine (Acupuncture, Cupping, E-Stim, Traditional Herbal Formulas, Moxa, etc....), Mend also offers Functional Medicine (lab work, X-rays, supplements, Allergy Testing and Food Sensitivity Testing, Genetic Testing, etc....), similar to a General Practitioner. Mend also treats patients for pain management and rehabilitation after injuries very similar to Physical Therapy. Mend makes Eastern Medical diagnoses, treats, refers out to specialists and coordinates treatment to make sure you are getting the most comprehensive and top-notch healthcare possible.
