Take aspirin...good for inflammation, good for the heart, maybe fights cancer in the colon. Have the makers of Tylenol convinced you there is a problem? Take enteric coated aspirin. Take lots of it.

Be careful about what you advise. My mother was taking 5 milligrams of prednisone and eight coated tablets of 325 milligrams of aspirin a day. Both drugs are associated with a risk of gastro-intestinal bleeding. She became so anemic that she was transfused in a bed monitored for cardiac arrhythmia. Now she refuses to take one "baby" 81 milligram coated aspirin a day.
