Wow, I am very impressed. This is a new breakthrough finding. I would like to know how much Aspirin needs to be administered.

In most countries aspirin is dirt cheap. One pill in Japan costs ¥100. Why? I bring mine back from the states.

Everyone age 35 or older needs to take one 81 mg aspirin daily. It prevents numerous health problems from colon cancer to plaque in the blood stream. Recently, it has been found to enhance (turbo charge) the quality of other medications. 500 tabs cost 400 yen in the USA because the cost is not controlled by the government. Japan needs more generic drugs and over the counter OTC products. The lower the cost of non-controlled drugs, the higher the number of patients using them correctly.

While aspirin is effective in helping prevent heart attack and stroke in those susceptible to them, and can also help reduce the risk of some cancers, it is not without side effects. People who take aspirin regularly have more chance of having a perforated ulcer or bleeding in the GI tract; so for many people yes, it may do good; for everybody, no. People with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, people who are taking anti-coagulant drugs for any reason, should take aspirin only under medical supervision. And aspirin should not be combined with other NSAID drugs at all.
