Science says Aspirin is good, bad and undetermined

The jury is still out on Aspirin. 100 years of data, billions, if not trillions, of doses. It’s too early to say for sure if it is a good idea ...

The one thing Science does know for sure, is that those COVID vaccines are damn near perfect, with nary a side effect.

[Mr Rogers]

What I know: I use it all the time and it doesn’t seem to cause me any issues. A good friend gets an upset stomach even with enteric coated aspirin, so he doesn’t use it. I think both of us are reasonable.

So many studies are about “association” that I’ve almost given up on “science”, although my degree was in Biology and I loved studying science in the 70s!

It is sure is something to be thankful for when you have some pain, though it does not last as long as I want sometimes for a toothache.

Hyperbole detected, but point understood!

If it turns out to cure COVID than experts will finally be able to close the case on Aspirin: it’s deadly poison.

And there are so many factors. According to science, most likely the men on the Endurance voyage never should have able to survive.

For your ping list.

When the experts toggle back and forth on if something is good or bad, the difference is likely so miniscule that in moderation it doesn’t matter. It’s likely just a ploy to get more reseach money, notoriety, or push an agenda.

In case of a potential heart attack, a large aspirin plus hot pepper (capsaicin) can be a life saver.

But the ‘vaccines’ are safe & effective.

Aspirin is like everything on the planet.

It has it's good uses and bad uses.

Life saving in some cases, death dealing in others.

Anyone who is puzzled by this should spend some time in a library.

For most of my life aspirin was my wonder drug. When I had a headache or muscle pain nothing was better.

Now I can’t touch it because of chronic leukemia and low platelets. My doc allows me a 200 mg ibuprofen occasionally because it only makes my few platelets “slippery” for a few hours. Aspirin is right out because it makes platelets slippery for a week. For me a regimen of aspirin would pretty much guarantee a brain bleed eventually.

The word is that if aspirin were a new drug being introduced today, the FDA would be saying; “No way, Jose!” This acetylsalicylic acid is a descendant of salicylic acid, a derivative of ancient folk medicines centered around willow-bark tea. To me, it appears that it is great for the young to middle-aged. The very young and seniors need to be cautious. Beyond that, I trust my doctor and continue low-doses of it, moderate coffee and alcohol drinking.

Yep, I am going to die ... sometime and from something! Maybe I should quit eating tomatoes (or is it tomatos?)! PS: If you ignore what “experts say”, you will take a lot of stress OUT OF YOUR LIFE!

I am breaking away from never-before posted studies because Daniel1212 has done an excellent job of bringing together pain medicine studies posted to Free Republic over many years. Do remember you can search Free Republic on words in titles or keyword areas for your own health issues.

Thank you, Daniel1212!

The contrasting table testifies to a double-edges sword presently, at least possibly inn some cases, yet subject to change (as spending some time in a library would show), and the point is how science is often not settled, at least quickly. But do not question the scientific warrant for mandating vaccination.

The aspirin I can do, thank God, but for capsaicin you might call the fire dept. Or rather a ice cream truck!

Sorry to hear of your infirmity.

"Maybe I should quit eating tomatoes (or is it tomatos?)"

Either "iether" But no, eat tomatoes! Homegrown preferably.

"Yep, I am going to die ... sometime and from something! Maybe I should quit eating tomatoes (or is it tomatos?)! PS: If you ignore what “experts say”, you will take a lot of stress OUT OF YOUR LIFE!"

The real experts "advice:

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25-26)

Yes, do not expect Google to show FR much, unless you do a site search site:freerepublic.com aspirin

Aspirin reduces stored iron.

If a person has excess iron, taking aspirin will reduce it.

If a person does not have a lot of stored iron, consuming a lot of aspirin will cause an iron deficiency.

If the blood ferritin of a person is less than 70 ng/ml, the person has an iron deficiency.
