It was generally for those unexplainable headaches that seemed to last forever. Admittedly, some of them came about as a result of too much John Barley the night before, but sometimes there seemed to be no explanation; just pain. <BR/><BR/>Of course, there is the additional endorsement for the use of aspirin having evolved as a precaution against heart disease. However, on the down side it is a little unclear whether regular aspirin therapy reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in people without cardiovascular disorders. One could argue that erring on the side of precaution is a win-win; were it not for the very real risks that aspirin use presents to gastrointestinal bleeding.<BR/><BR/>A recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine looks at the benefits and risks of aspirin therapy in people without known cardiovascular disease.<BR/><BR/>According to a Sept 20 report in BMC medicine, essentially,the risks and benefits of aspirin use, though recognized, are left up to the discretionary advise of physicians. So it really comes down to a little roll of the dice.<BR/><BR/>Any way you cut it, our health issues can in no way be attributed to an "aspirin deficiency".<BR/><BR/>Is there a better way?Bob Ringstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930784455645161071noreply@blogger.com
