I was wondering when saner heads would prevail. I remember thinking that this aspirin-for-heart-conditions campaign was someone's genius idea of returning an unusually useful, but oddly archaic drug--aspirin--back to the pharmaceutical arsenal. Unfortunately, it's gotten really out of hand. Who in their right mind two generations ago would think of ritually taking a pill "just in case?" Thanks for posting.

Date: September 01, 2009 08:32PM I don't think using the natural white willow bark on occasion would be a bad thing. Lots of our natural foods that we eat raw have those natural compounds as natural aspirin.
It's all relative, to me if one is having lots of pain and swelling and they go from a very harmful drug to a less harmful one, then that's good until they can go from that to less often use or no use at all..or some other more natural remedy. I've learned that people have to be given choices, and each is an individual with their own issues. But the aspirin a day to keep the doc away..it sounds too much like when the person that sold shampoo decided he could double his sales overnight by adding to the instructions, wash your hair 2 x with shampoo..instead of just once! Free enterprise..and all that. Take your health into your own hands and you instantly become your most valued patient. Love, Prism Re: Daily aspirin may do more harm than good: study

Date: September 12, 2009 02:12AM You've said it Tamukha. The only legitimate time for taking a pharmaceutical is when things have gotten so out of hand with your body or the environment that poisoning yourself for a while might actually be a better option.
Drugs by their very definition can only block a normal physiological reaction by your body, otherwise they would be called nutrients. Only in a horribly sickly and diseased state can one help to benefit from blocking a natural life function. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
