“The best (and safest) medicine ever invented is plain aspirin and it comes from willow bark.”
Actually, that’s not correct.
Aspirin causes more visits to the ER than just about any other OTC drug, due to bleeding problems and stomach ulcers.
Aspirin is just about the worst thing you can take when you have a virus. It brings fever down, allowing the virus to replicate unabated. After a few days of that your immune system has alot more bad stuff to deal with.
