Ping!............
I believe aspirin would never be approved by the FDA if it was a “new drug”. I still take my 81 mg dose daily.
Me too.................
if it was a “new drug”..........it would cost $1000 a month...........
Poor diet, especially high fat
Hence the oldest treatment in the book:
“Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.”
It works all the time, under all circumstances. A person gets pain relief and the reassurance of receiving personal, professional care later. Relaxes, goes to sleep, and calls in the morning. Gets treated for something else if needed, and recovers from the other problem.
The person is having a real heart attack, but the aspirin lowers blood pressure, lowers pain levels, relaxes the patient, and the patient recovers overnight. Has no pain the morning. Doesn’t call in the morning.
The person is having a very real, very dangerous heart attack, but doesn’t recover. Dies a bit later that night with less pain. Doesn’t call in the morning.

Are the latest guidelines more Deep State BS?
And I avoid them like the plague, GI issues. K2-7 COMPLEX keeps arteries open.
This “dietary cholesterol causes heart attacks” myth needs to be thrown out.
Ancel Keys was the original “Fauci”.
At this point, I would suspect that the REAL REASON they want people off aspirin is that it actually works.
“Poor diet, especially high fat. Stopped reading there.”
No kidding, almost stopped there myself. However, there may be something to that, but only if one combines the high fat with high carbs (in other words, eating normal ‘American’ food, since it takes effort to root out carbs from one’s diet).
You can eat a high-carb diet, or a high-fat diet. The human body will accept one or the other, it’s meant to be flexible in cases where meat or vegetables are not available.
We were built to be cavemen.
But eating both in high amounts is what gets people into trouble.
Neither would Coffee.
I believe that eating grains happened very recently in human history. Dairy too (goat first)
——aspirin is a blood thinner——
As one who took a 325 mg aspirin tablet for years when I was both diabetic and very heavy, I was free of lots of symptoms that were experienced by my peers.
As I lost weight I became susceptable to bruises on my hands and arms.
I was advised the best course was to cease the aspirin altogether. It took literally months for the bruising to cease. I still get blue marks from various small wacks but no blue arms from just working.
I still carry and recommend carrying an Altoid box with two aspirin to be chewed if I feel a stroke or coronary coming on
The idea was that people ate for winter, because during the winter food was more scarce. That is the purpose of body fat in the first place, to provide energy when food is scarce. Bears eat nuts and berries to fatten up so they can hibernate during the winter, when those aren’t available.
But that’s not an issue anymore. Now all kinds of foods are available 24/7 365 days a year. And so there is no longer the need to fatten up by eating carbs.
When I get injured, aspirin is my go to med. It’s the only NSAID I can take for extended periods that doesn’t cause my blood pressure to increase.
