If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or pretty much any cardiovascular disease your doctor has most likely prescribed you low doses of Aspirin.
It’s a standard procedure most doctors do without even thinking.
But a new study from Japan, and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, shows that more caution is needed. It’s not that it should never be done, but there are several things to keep in mind before popping this pill.
In this study, 14,000 older Japanese people who had some type of cardiovascular issues, were prescribed a low dose of Aspirin.
For five years the rate of heart attack, stroke and death by these causes were monitored and compared to a similar group of people who did not take aspirin.
Long story short: the researchers found no connection between taking aspirin and the frequency of stroke, heart attack or deaths.
But, there are several factors to keep in mind. You see, the frequency of heart attack is much lower in Japan than America and Europe. In fact, there were so few heart attacks that the study had to be cut short due to statically insignificant data. On the other hand, stroke is more common in Japan than in the west. So maybe the results would be different in a different country.
On the other hand, there were some strong indicators. Not taking aspirin increased the risk of “mini-strokes” and chest pain. At the same time, aspirin increased the risk of serious bleeding.
Also, although aspirin is considered quite safe, it does come with several serious side effects. Some of the common side effects are rash, gastrointestinal ulcerations, abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, gastritis, and bleeding.
If you are taking aspirin and suffer side effects from it, or are concerned about bleeding, you want to talk to your healthcare provider about the pros and cons of taking this medication. Especially since it doesn’t seem to have any significant benefits.
The best route, however, is to completely heal your heart and arteries so you don’t need to be dependent on any drugs.

I am following this story with interest….Thank you.
Thank you for this scientific discovery
I take one 81mg aspirin every 3 days. V.A. in study showed the chemical reaction on the walls of arteries was significant enough to prevent plaque from attaching to walls without the bleeding risk of taking an aspirin daily.
I just talked to my Cardiologist a week ago about aspirin. He said that the heart benefits are inconclusive but that there is some evidence that low dose aspirin reduces colon polyps.
Serrapetasse is a natural enzyme that when taken clears the arteries of plaque with ZERO side effects. It has been widely prescribed in Germany for over 30 years.
To keep the heart healthy Dr Al Sears recommends A daily dose of Q10, Magnesium, B6 and Niacin. This combined with eating all fat except the transfats found in margarine and cruciferous will keep you strong and disease free.
The medical establishment knows all this yet peddle the rubbish they do because of the money they make. What, a healthy nation that does not need Statins and other meds, would never do for big Pharmas profits and this is why doctors are trained as they are. I would like the powers that be to explain this to me.
Disease is caused by one of two things1. Poor nutrition and 2 stress. Doctors get about 1 hour in their 5 years on nutrition and the only thing they know about stress is how to prescribe drugs that mask symptoms but do not clear trauma. 90% of stress is a reaction to childhood trauma and clearing this relives most stress symptoms.
My conclusion, reached after 5 years of studying natural health is that the medical system is so corrupt and the people who are trained to operate within it so oblivious or frightened to challenge the status quo is that they do more harm than good, which is exactly what the Hypocratic oath is meant to prevent.
