  • Aspirin's benefits were recently debunked.

  • One has to weigh up the one study against those that preceded it. It's about the quality of the study. From memory, the Monash study dealt with a very large population. My approach to medication

  • Years ago I was on a train when a guy was showing his long-haired cat to two nuns in the same compartment. One nun had a stroke, but the other one couldn't reach.

The big problem here is that you do not know if the aspirin is working until you do not have a stroke.

Aspirin can and does cause internal bleeding, but considering the less than 100mg dose, compared to a regular aspirin with 500mg, I believe the benefits outweigh the risks long term.. 

Normal Aspirin in USA is 325mg which is why 1/4 size is 81mg.

I had the best non power type Gillette Pro blades and still getting cuts - now using Bic 3 blade with no cuts and blade lasts 2 or 3 times longer, many weeks.  Laser skin removals were a bloodbath.

I am guarding against stroke, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other diseases by eating a "plant-based diet". I eat no meat, no dairy and no eggs. NOTHING from animal protein which has been shown to cause the majority of chronic disease. The research is rock solid. Google "plant based eating".

We're omnivores not herbivores. Everything in moderation. 

 

We all die of something, you seem set on dying of boredom.

Why would he die of boredom just because he changed his diet to exclude meat and dairy and instead substituted more healthy foods that would likely cause him to live a longer more healthy life?  I have vegan friends who are healthier than guys 10-20 years younger than they are and they don't need drugs to control blood pressure, diabetes and many other conditions associated with eating a less healthy diet.  I've other friends who through the their eating habits either can hardly get around or are pretty much bedridden / at least rely on a wheelchair to get them to the toilet.  If there's any chance I can hold off that problem for another 5 years then I'll opt for the more healthy options.

Cardiprin 100 is commonly available locally, and being base aspirin, you would need to weigh up the benefit pros and cons.. 

 

Even taking it 3-4 times weekly, rather than daily, as a preventative measure, would make very good sense for someone in the low risk group, to thin the blood and reduce the incidence of a stroke.. 

 

Someone in the higher risk group, overweight with incidence of irregular heart palpitations should consider a daily dose.. Aspirin can and does cause internal bleeding, but considering the less than 100mg dose, compared to a regular aspirin with 500mg, I believe the benefits outweigh the risks long term.. 

 

Strokes are a hidden killer and can strike anyone at any age at any time.. Prevention is always the best consideration though IMHO.. 

Just a small point;

 

'CARDIPRIN 100M- Each tablet contains 100mg ASPIRIN and 45 mg CLYCINE.' 

 

Direct from the box.

Veganism is clearly detrimental to one's sense of humour.

I wouldn't want to be in the same room as a vegan. All those raw Veges create a ton of gas

I consider that to be one of the benefits of being a vegan.

I am guarding against stroke, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other diseases by eating a "low carb diet". I eat very low amounts of carbs. NOTHING with sugar which has been shown to cause the majority of chronic disease. The research is rock solid. Google "low carb".

 

Therein lies the problem, whatever approach you take to nutrition, you can easily find evidence to support you.  Basics  might include avoiding processed food and sugar, which both low carb and plant based achieve.

Some pharmacies don't carry aspirin (Aspent). Keep asking and you will find 81 mg.

I've seen:

10 pack - 7 baht

60 pills - 39 baht
