Got me thinking.
Thanks.
Constant inflammation of the walls.
How big is your largest artery?
Low dose aspirin thins the blood so that it can more easily flow past obstructions.
All it really does is to allow the obstructions to become even smaller before blood flow stops and a heart attack occurs. By then, the blockage may be so severe that a bypass is necessary instead of a stent.
Low dose aspirin is like four wheel drive vs. two wheel drive on a truck. 4WD allows you to go 50 more feet into the mud bog before you get stuck, but once you do, it's harder to get your truck out.
That said, I take 81 mg every day...

Aspirin as an anti-inflammatory agent is beneficial.
The ‘studies’ saying aspirin is worthless are um ... worthless. Seriously, those ‘studies’ are based on cheap shabby study designs.
Aspirin is not a cure, but it helps.
The study of PAR referenced in this thread is solid. The UK scientists via NMR Spectroscopy have pinpointed the cause.
What we see here on this thread are excellent points that the PAR suppressor antibiotic minocycline is an antibiotic and too many antibiotics swirling about the human population have a significant downside.
So we hope there is something in the diet we can consume that will lower PAR levels in the bloodstream.
Leave the cannoli......

A favorite and frequently-used popcorn topping recipe I use: cayenne, garlic, paprika, fresh-ground-pepper, NO salt... mixed with good dollops of butter...
Although, perhaps that latter item cancels the formers.
[note: smart balance substitute the butter]
You forgot your namesake vitamin, K2, with vitamin D3.
Vitamin K2 works to keep calcium in the bones, where it belongs, and out of the soft tissues (like arteries and heart valves). It can also, over time, reduce calcification of the soft tissues - and how quickly is dose dependent. No prescription needed. It is more effective if taken with Vitamin D3 (also no prescription needed, and you can get 5,000 IU gelcaps at Sam’s or Costco for about $0.10 each).

I didn’t see your post before adding #33...but clearly, great minds think alike.
The only known cure for prevention of heart attack, stroke and artery hardening is ... running. 30 min x 3 per week.
It is free for anybody.
You work to pay the mortgage and raise the kids.
Why not do a little work for your own body?
Great article but how many diseases do pills cure? Few.
My PA at my cardiologists told me to keep taking low dose aspirin.
*sigh*
Yes, and man has used them beyond what is obvious or readily available.
“Antibiotics” are in fact natural items, just processed to be fully efficient. As was aspirin.
Get over the Big Evil Corp phobia brought to you by communists.
Thanks for the important info.
Glibly spoken by someone with no OTHER problems, such as major foot problems, knee problems, back problems. All of which can also be brought on by “running”.
(Biking is better, as is swimming.)
Run all you want. You can still have a heart attack, stroke, or clogged arteries.
