What To Do? What To Do?
Most of you in our age range have probably been taking a low dose (81mg) aspirin every day because doctor’s told us that it would help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Jan and I certainly have been.
But now that’s all out the window, apparently. So we have this.
Older adults without heart disease shouldn’t take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday.
Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven’t had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance.
But it seems if you mix it with some other things, it works to prevent strokes and heart attacks again.
Combo therapy cuts risk of heart attacks and strokes in half
A combination therapy of aspirin, statins and at least two blood pressure medications given in fixed doses can slash the risk of fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) by more than half, says an international study led by Hamilton researchers.
The fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapies were examined both with and without aspirin versus control groups in a combined analysis of more than 18,000 patients without prior CVD from three large clinical trials. FDCs including aspirin cut the risk of heart attacks by 53 percent, stroke by 51 percent, and deaths from cardiovascular causes by 49 percent.
So do we, or don’t we.
But then there’s this
And this, several studies that aspirin helps treat CoVid,
and even maybe helps to prevent it.
Aspirin lowers risk of COVID: New findings support preliminary Israeli trial
Over-the-counter aspirin could protect the lungs of COVID-19 patients and minimize the need for mechanical ventilation, according to new research at the George Washington University.
The team investigated more than 400 COVID patients from hospitals across the United States who take aspirin unrelated to their COVID disease, and found that the treatment reduced the risk of several parameters by almost half: reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admissions by 43%, and overall in-hospital mortality by 47%.
And this.
Aspirin may protect against COVID-19, Israeli research finds
People who take small doses are 29% less likely than others to test positive, researchers say; those who do get COVID recover faster, and with reduced aftereffects
Or this.

Or this too.

Or this.
An aspirin a day could keep diabetes at bay: study
Follow the science they keep telling us.
But if Doctors, Scientists, and Researchers can’t even agree on Aspirin, a drug that’s been about for almost 130 years, how can they be so sure about HCQ, Quercetin, Ivermectin, and others, especially since Doctors, Scientists, and Researchers in other countries say they’re very effective.
Ya pays your money and ya takes your chances, I guess.
Thought For The Day:
Seems even more true today.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984
