If you are using large enough amounts of aspirin to affect a cancer, it will do more than just damage the liver.
The only part of aspirin that could be effective on cancer is the Acetate, which can be obtained in a much more effective and safe manner by drinking raw, unfiltered Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar. Usually best to add raw honey, and distilled water for palatability and control of pathogens.
“The error is that ulcers are caused by bacteria. Aspirin taken alone on an empty stomach might be a problem, but if taken with some food, the problem should be minimal.”
I have to comment on a couple of assertions in that paragraph. One, although there is at least one study suggesting aspirin is more likely to cause GI damage in patients with an existing h. pylori infection, the results are controversial and not very applicable to clinical practice. http://gastroenterology.jwatch.org/cgi/content/full/2001/815/1 In any event, it isn’t correct to say that the bacteria cause the problem in these aspirin-related studies. From the article review: “Epidemiologic studies have suggested that H. pylori plays a minimal synergistic role (if any) in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated GI complications”.
Other evidence suggests that the relationship between h. pylori and ulcers (peptic) is not so clearcut, even in the absence of NSAIDs. For example, it is well known that lots of patients test positive for h. pylori, yet show no sign of ulceration. In other patients (such as myself) an ulcer occurred in the absence of h. pylori but in the presence of NSAID treatment (ibuprofen).
Also, I think many of us can offer a quick personal rebuttal of the “if taken with some food, the problem should be minimal” idea. Even a single aspirin or ibuprofen will cause me considerable heartburn now, even taken during a meal and even while on PPI therapy (Prilosec), although the PPI completely eliminates symptoms otherwise. When I was a kid I could take aspirin with no regard to the consequences (and without even much water) but the situation has changed considerably in the intervening years. You are lucky to be able to tolerate it. It does seem wise to carry the aspirin as quick first aid to a suspected coronary event; even I would gulp a couple down in those circumstances.
Yes god forbid people are smart enough to chump on bark vs chemically altered real thing
Precisely of low margins if you make it a food staple like coffee maybe we can even have aspirin futures trading fun for whole family
Maybe they should have M&M futures then, since a bag of M&M’s is more expensive than a bottle of aspirin for the same count!

.
A far better choice for “coronary events” is to carry a tincture of capsaicin. The Capsaicin does more than just stop the attack; it actually speeds the healing of the damaged tissue. If you’re not much on capsaicin, the next best choice would be Strodival tablets. They stop the attack by neutralizing the lactic acid, and also aid in healing the damage.
Aspirin is only marginal in relieving the attack, and does nothing toward preventing the recurrance.

My MIL would go for that, she’s always stuffing M&Ms in her pocket :o)
For the record, I do not buy the aspirin-anticancer thing. There are many approaches to helping stregthen the body’s immune system to deal with wayward cells that might become cancerous. I also do not buy into the supposed benefits of vinegar. Acetates, acetic acid is not an anticancer thing that anyone should bet their life on.
Acetate does improve oxygen uptake, but in general, I agree there are good solid proven cures for cancer, and not availing one’s self of them would be foolish.
The Celect-Budwig protocol is so effective, and so completely free of any potential side effects that it has to be the logical first choice for most cancers.
I’ve heard that but had forgotten it.
