Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen and naproxen. For years, doctors promoted a daily low-dose 81 mg. aspirin to help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Now, suddenly, health authorities are putting the brakes on this advice.
Why the sudden change? Look at the timing — this shift comes as newer, far more expensive blood thinners flood the market. These drugs can cost up to $550 a month, while low-dose aspirin sets you back ~$5.
It’s a pattern we’ve seen before with drugs like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and methylene blue. Safe, effective and cheap medicines get debunked, hidden away or pushed aside to make way for pricier alternatives. Big pharma has a long history of doing this.
I encourage you to look beyond the headlines. Your health — and your wallet — may depend on it.
Quick summary:
• Low-dose aspirin offers more than heart health: cancer prevention, improved pregnancy outcomes, treatment for fatty liver disease and pulmonary fibrosis
• Long-term low-dose aspirin use reduces risk of Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and all-cause dementia
• LD aspirin enhances your body’s use of glucose for energy, lowers cortisol levels, increases metabolic rate, and aids in hormone balance
• Studies suggest low-dose aspirin improves survival rates in ICUs, slows the progression of aortic aneurysms and reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
But before you run out and buy regular OTC time-released aspirin with the usual toxic additives, instead opt for an immediate-release, un-coated version or Willow Bark Extract as discussed and linked below.
A fascinating 3 minutes by the amazing and well-published Georgi Dinkov.
00:25: “For people who don’t want to use hormones, something as simple as aspirin (salicylic acid) daily has been shown to reliably mimic the wonderful effects of progesterone…all without being a hormone.” And the biggest shocker (listen at 00:50- 2:00) is how we can soak seeds in aspirin and it will help the plant defend against any foreign invader, increases their resistance to stress, improve their metabolic rate, increase the yield of their seeds… there is no fungi that can eat them. And these effects are the same in humans.”
For decades, aspirin has been a cornerstone in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Ans we know that low-dose aspirin is associated with statistically significant reductions in major CVD events, such as heart attack and stroke.
But the truth is, aspirin offers MANY MORE health advantages far beyond heart health that are rarely talked about:
1. Aspirin’s Role in Preventing Diabetes and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
A big trial, which involved 16,209 adults, revealed that those taking low-dose aspirin (100 mg daily) lowered the risk of developing diabetes by 15% compared to those on placebo. It revealed that it likely helps maintain better blood sugar control, even in individuals who don’t develop full-blown diabetes.
The next study involving 3,435 patients also revealed that aspirin use is associated with slower progression of life-threatening abdominal aortic aneurysms. (source) The study found that patients taking aspirin had a 36% lower odds of rapid aneurysm progression compared to those not taking aspirin. It could be a game-changer in managing this condition.
2. Aspirin Improves Pregnancy Outcomes During Viral Infection
This is important because vascular dysfunction during pregnancy can lead to complications like preeclampsia (high blood pressure) and restricted fetal growth. They found low-dose aspirin reduced inflammation in the blood vessels and more. Most notably, aspirin treatment improved outcomes for the offspring, including better survival rates and birth weight. (source)(source)
“...low-dose aspirin may treat flu-induced blood vessel inflammation, creating better blood flow to the placenta during pregnancy. (source) As Georgi Dinkov notes:
“The even better news is that these findings do not apply only to flu and/or only to pregnancy. COVID-19, as well as most other viral infections, cause similar systemic state of inflammation, which affects primarily the vascular system … suggests that aspirin is a viable prophylactic and treatment intervention.”
3. Aspirin’s Role in Cancers
Recent studies have shed light on low-dose aspirin’s potential to prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) and other types of cancer. Taking at least 75 milligrams (mg) of aspirin daily for several years has been shown to reduce the long-term incidence and death from CRC. (source)
It is especially effective for liver cancer!
Here’s just one testimonial I ran across:
“By the time my endometrial sarcoma was diagnosed, it had reached stage 4B, the very final stage. Prognosis was 15% survival in 3 years’ time, 7% without chemo and radiation. I opted for a hysterectomy and a lung lobectomy, where a nearly 2 cm encapsulated tumor was found, but no chemo or radiotherapy. Prior to this, I had been taking a daily dose of 100 mg of aspirin for years. Even though cancer cells had migrated to the lung, apparently the immune system noticed it and encapsulated it to protect the lung. According to Professor Elwood, the aspirin would have been responsible for enhancing the immune system’s recognition of the interloper. No cancer was found in any of the nearby organs. I also started taking fenbendazole after getting the diagnosis in early April. A months later when I went into hospital for the hysterectomy the surgeon found no cancer in the lymph system or anywhere else. In July a PET scan was performed before the lung lobectomy – again no cancer activities were found. It’s now a year on and the last CT scan showed that I continue to be cancer free.” (source)
4. Aspirin Therapy Shows Promise for Fatty Liver Disease
At the 2023 meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases it was shown that low-dose aspirin could be an effective treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Taking 81mg of aspirin daily led to significant improvements in liver health for patients with MASLD. (source) It also showed promise in tackling inflammation and fibrosis — two key factors in the progression of liver disease. It believed that aspirin could potentially halt or even reverse the accumulation of fat in the liver. Patients also showed improvements in liver enzyme levels, indicating a broader positive impact on liver function.
5. Aspirin Improves Mortality Rates in the ICU
A large-scale study involving 146,191 ICU patients found that aspirin use during ICU stays was associated with a significant reduction in 28-day mortality rates. (source) It is now widely use in ICU settings.
6. Aspirin’s Impressive Anti-Fibrotic Effects in the Lungs
Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged or scarred. This thickening and stiffening makes it hard for your lungs to inhale and exhale properly which can be very exhausting. Aspirin alleviates this lung scarring.
When researchers treated fibrotic lung cells with aspirin, it enhanced the brilliant cellular process called autophagy. Autophagy is your cells’ way of recycling damaged components and maintaining homeostasis, thus aspirin likely slows down or even reverses the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.
7. Long-Term Aspirin Use Offers Cognitive Benefits
Taking low-dose aspirin for more than 10 years was critical for detecting a protective effect against dementia. This suggests starting aspirin use in middle age (and continuing it for at least a decade) may offer significant cognitive benefits. (source)
Among coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, low-dose aspirin use was associated with a:
• 31% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease
• 69% reduced risk of vascular dementia
• and a 54% reduced risk of all-cause dementia.
Even without CHD, probably low-dose aspirin would provide dual benefits for your cardiovascular and cognitive health down the road. (source)
8, 9, 10 & 11: Aspirin’s Metabolic Magic: From Fat Burning to Cortisol Lowering to Hormone Balance
1. Aspirin enhances your body’s use of glucose for energy in fat burning.
2. It reduces the release of fatty acids from fat cells, particularly linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fat that’s a significant contributor to chronic disease. This is crucial because most Americans have excess LA in their tissues, and it takes seven years of a low-LA diet to reduce it to healthy levels.
3. Aspirin also lowers your baseline cortisol — indirectly by reducing inflammation, and directly by inhibiting an enzyme that converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol. Aspirin decreases stress-induced aldosterone production, potentially helping to lower blood pressure.
4. And amazingly, it increases your carbon dioxide and progesterone levels while inhibiting a major inflammatory pathway, NF kappa-B, helping your body naturally boost the production of two important hormones: testosterone and progesterone.
Aspirin Purchasing Guidelines, Dosage, and a Natural Aspirin Alternative
If you decide to use aspirin, avoid coated extended-release versions due to their harmful additives. Opt for immediate-release aspirin. Check the inactive ingredients list carefully — corn starch should be the only one listed.
After thorough research, I found a product meeting these criteria:
I’m convinced of aspirin’s preventive value and now take 110 mg daily using Health Natura’s USP grade 60 gram aspirin powder for under $20. It is a 99% pure USP aspirin version that’s not in tablet form. I find its pro-metabolic, anti-lipolytic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cortisol, and anti-estrogen effects appealing, and its safety is well-established.
The suggested dosage is dependent on your circumstances and 81 mg to 325 mg tablet daily and should be taken with your largest meal.
For a clean product for use in pregnancy, here is Wild & Organic White Willow Bark Tincture – Alcohol & Sugar-Free
If you’re sensitive to aspirin, willow bark stands out as a compelling natural alternative, embodying the age-old wisdom of traditional medicine. When you take aspirin, your body metabolizes the acetylsalicylic acid into salicylic acid, which is responsible for aspirin’s anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and anti-thrombotic effects. This compound is naturally found in willow bark.
Unlike synthetic pharmaceuticals, willow bark’s active compounds result in a natural affinity that modern drugs struggle to replicate.
The development of aspirin as a patentable drug replacement for willow bark in the 1800s marked a shift from nature to laboratory, but it didn’t improve upon the original. The original natural remedy remains a testament to the power of plant-based medicine. This history reminders us of the often-overlooked potential of natural remedies.
Willow Bark Dosage:
While 240 mg to 600 mg of willow bark extract (15% salicin) is often estimated to provide a salicin dose that is roughly equivalent to 325 mg of aspirin, the total amount of willow bark extract needed is typically much higher:
• To approximate the effects of 81 mg of aspirin, a dose of 400 mg to 800 mg of willow bark extract (standardized to 15% salicin) is typically required.
• For effects similar to 111 mg of aspirin, a dose of 500 mg to 1,000 mg of willow bark extract (standardized to 15% salicin) is generally needed.
Note: To prevent Reye’s syndrome–a potentially fatal condition–do NOT give willow bark to children with a fever or other signs of viral infection. This is what I recommend instead for children when most would rush to grab Tylenol, etc.
The breadth of aspirin’s potential benefits suggests that this common, inexpensive medication may have more to offer than health authorities are acknowledging.

“The story of the discovery of aspirin stretches back more than 3500 years to when bark from the willow tree was used as a pain reliever and antipyretic. It involves an Oxfordshire clergyman, scientists at a German dye manufacturer, a Nobel Prize-winning discovery and a series of pivotal clinical trials. Aspirin is now the most commonly used medicine in the world. Its role in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease has been revolutionary and one of the biggest pharmaceutical success stories of the last century. “ ~Study abstract by Drs.
Slightly off topic, but you can use aspirin for your garden.
