1) Now that a little bit of time has passed and I’m starting to feel like I’m on the mend, I’m going to tell you all that:

I was just in the hospital ER for acute liver failure.

I rarely drink. @RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

2) I’ve never been anywhere near a needle or heroin or anything other than what I’ve been prescribed, other than weed.
My daughter’s father drank himself to death due to liver failure at 42 yrs old, so this has not been an easy

3) topic for my daughter, to say the least.

Everybody that knows my story is probably thinking omg all the meds that I was so over-medicated on in Colorado have finally caught up.

Nope.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

4) I was fine one minute harrassing you good ppl here on FB ... and then I WAS OUT. I mean 100% believing that I was not going to live through the night, OUT.

Haley stayed awake all night just to make sure that I was breathing.

5) My labs were perfect less than 2 years ago.
What nearly killed me? Red Bull.
No joke.
I will never touch another RED Bull again. When I was leaving the hospital, I told the nurse here in Taos that I’d never touch another Red Bull @RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

6) He jumped up and yelled YES!!!! and he continued that thought out loud to other medical staff as we were walking away with “That is the 3rd person that’s come in here that has almost died of liver failure because of Red Bull.”

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

7) IMPORTANT TO ADD: The ER NP told us that I was in end stage liver failure due to Hepatitis C before seeing my labs, and after seeing my labs, folks. They do get blood for that test at the hospital. They get A LOT on blood turns out

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

8) I thought it was a spider bite, or three. I was bitten by a black widow last year but didn’t realize it for a over a week because I get random numbness in my leg due to my crash, anyway. Then I thought it was ibuprofen.
Nope.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

9) ALSO IMPORTANT: How does it feel?
Like the worst nausea beyond what you can even begin to imagine. You’re fine one minute and within an hour you will be curled up in a ball when you’re not vomiting and it’s unrelenting.

10) You know those big ropes used for exercising? That’s how your limbs will feel, exercised like giant ropes beyond exhaustion, beyound fatigue.

LIVER UPDATE:
(I just had another lab drawn today to see where I’m at now, so I’ll post those results when I get them.)

Finally have my ER lab results on my liver enzymes and hepatitis and CT!!!

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

12)
SGOT/AST 285 HIGH Normal = 15-37
SGPT/ALT 366 HIGH Normal = 14-59
That’s not even the scary part. I was told that, even as a rare drinker who has never touched a needle and hadn’t had the sex in years, that I

13) at the end of my life by the ER attendings explanation to me and my daughter, that my battle with liver failure was coming to an end. My daughter’s dad drank himself to death at 42.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

14) My daughter is working as a Hospice CNA while at UNM working toward her BSN. She is the person that would be taking care of her dying mom who would leave her with 2 dead parents due to liver disease, so she lost her shit, bigly.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

15) HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF MY HEPATITIS PANEL:

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

I DO NOT HAVE ANY HEPATITIS!!!

16) That “end stage Hepatitis” scared the ever loving shit out of me, my daughter was an absolute wreck who missed her first week of her new semester because she was afraid to leave me during the last few days of

18) as the crazy tin foil hatted 9/11 and Q conspiracy theorist! Nailed it.

8/28/18 My doc called with my new lab results 1 WEEK AFTER GOING TO THE ER to learn that my liver enzymes were off the charts so I should be dead soon.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

19) Hepatitis panel 4 100% NORMAL

8/28/18 👇 8/20/18 NORMAL
SGOT/AST 31 285 15-37
SGPT/ALT 73 366 14-59

8 days w/o RED BULL and I am already almost within normal liver enzymes range.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

20) Google TAURINE in Red Bull.
The baller behind LIVESTRONG™️ is the only site I could find stating any actual amount of TAURINE in Red Bull, “1 g” but it does NOT specify per mL, per ounces, or even the size of the RED BULL can.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

21) Red Bull says that TAURINE is “a naturally occurring Amino acid found in humans.”
Most sites dispute that claim, saying that TAURINE is harvested from BULL BILE in the mammal’s large intestine.
RED BULL IS LITERALLY BULL SHIT!

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

22) There have been A LOT of deaths attributed to Red Bull that you can find on the www. Those that I found were attributed to heart attacks caused by HIGH CAFFEINE INTAKE in youths and adults.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

23) I found ONE death attributed to Red Bull that was due to liver failure; that was a 52 yr old man who had been living with a diagnosis of Hepatitis C much of his adult life prior to Red Bull consumption.
THAT’S A BIG RED FLAG, ppl.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

24) HOW MANY ER ATTENDINGS ARE MISSING ACUTE LIVER FAILURE DIAGNOSES?
How many coroners will open up our youth to discover that these kids do NOT have enlarged hearts or livers?
HOW MANY ER’s KNOW TO ASK WHY LIVER ENZYMES ARE THRU

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

25) THE ROOF? How would they know to ask if a patient was cunsuming Red Bull? I was nearly unable to speak. I came that close.
PPL DO NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING, so without exhuming ppl, we’ll never know the extent to which it’s

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

26) ALREADY BEEN HAPPENING.
That’s some srsly scary bull shit.
If you’re an ER attending ASK ABOUT RED BULL AND TEST LIVER ENZYMES.
If God forbid you’ve lost someone, don’t automatically accuse it’s because of caffeine, or any other

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

27) drug abuse history, even if it’s binge drinking alcohol.
IF YOU SEE A PERSON IN LIVER FAILURE THAT RECOVERS IN 8 DAYS AFTER THE CRSSATION OF RED BULL, the only other common ingredient is TAURINE. Red Bull knows this, or it’d be a

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

28) quick Google search to find these answers and there would be TAURINE CONTENT PER mL PRINTED ON EVERY CAN OF RED BULL. This info is buried, just like I was almost buried.

@RedBull @POTUS @US_FDA #RedBull #Q #TAURINE

29) Be careful out there, you guys.
✌️❤️ You are loved.
