Aspirin has been my drug of choice over all the others (Tylenol, Aleve, etc), pretty much my whole life.
My dad used to take one every day. His dr told him it was not good for his gut and to stop. He had a stroke very shortly after that (within a couple of weeks). His dr was a fool by not for seeing how the abrupt change would effect his blood.
dittos...I seldom to ever take Tylenol.
My doc put me on a 1-a-day regimen of aspirin 12 years ago. Probably still alive today partially thanks to that. Of course if I accidentally cut myself I bleed like a stuck hog for a while.
Aspirin was the original miracle drug having all kinds of benefits. And new benefits are still being found.
