We're all going to die anyway, so relax and stop being so anal retentive....
A good friend of mine almost died from taking a daily baby aspirin. Instead, take vitamin D3 daily - 35 i.u. per pound of body weight. You'll greatly reduce your risk from all cancers and it won't kill your stomach.
the drug companies must not be selling enough aspirin.
Aspirin pharmaceuticals sponsored this study. Soon studies will show aspirin not only relieves the common headache but cure cancer, heart-attack, HIV, infertility and the source of immortality.
Just another piece of info-commercial masqueraded as journalism so common today in the media.
What a crock of crap.
Aspirin is extremely low cost. Probably the lowest cost drug there is. I doubt anyone is making any real money off of it. Certainly nothing like some of the more expensive prescriptions. It was much more widely used years ago before Tylenol, Motrin, etc. All of which are far less safe. Tylenol by all rights for the number of people it has killed or injured should be off the market. Aspirin is given a bad rap by the drug companies that make alternatives that they charge many time more for.
I take both D3 (2000-4000iu) and an 81mg aspirin daily. Vit. D is very important and is deficient in many especially those who get little sun like the elderly.
All you really need to do is adjust the diet so the body is not so acidic. disease canot exist easily in a non acid environment. Taking Magnesium Bicarbonate will prevent cell destruction which causes cancer.
So that's the answer to all??? The body of course produces very strong acids in order to properly digest foods.
Of 8,282 people taking a low dose of aspirin, 119 died of colorectal cancer. Among the 5,751 people who took a placebo or nothing, 121 died of the disease. Hmm, 2 more died by doing nothing, but in a smaller group of people. So our chances of dying are about the same whether take aspirin or not.
And the expensive drugs being put out by big Pharma work better and have fewer side effects???? I think not...
Aspirin is a wonder drug and it's dirt cheap, so no one will push it. However all drugs can have side effects and particular people react differently and, as the article states, careful dosing is important, especially on long term use.
Aspirin destroys the stomach lining.
A whole grain vegan diets cuts the risk of colon cancers by 90%.
It would be helpful if they also included, for comparison purposes, the chances for development of other types of cancer by contrast. That the chances for any particular individual (presumably in the U.S.? the world?) standing at 5% is already alarming....
Just a difference of two people. How does that calculate to such a high percentage. Must be a typo here. Check the story, editors.
