Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Aspirin has now been shown to dramatically lower the risk of estrogen dependent breast cancer. Prior studies show that it also prevents colon cancer. It also prevent heart diseases. so a substance that is a potent blood mover has now been shown to have more dramatic impact on the two leading causes of death than any other substance ever studied. further evidence that blood stasis is the main cause of aging? see more at http://www.cbn.com/CBNNews/News/040526c.asp Chinese Herbs FAX: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He highlights the discovery over the last few years that all diseases have an inflammatory component. In fact, the following abstract suggests that even the COX-2 inhibitors(Vioxx, Celebrex) may have a similar effect: Promoter Methylation Regulates Cyclooxygenase Expression in Breast Cancer It is now well established that the inducible isoform of cyclooxygenase, COX-2, is commonly overexpressed in many solid tumors. Breast Cancer Res 6(4) 2004 So is " blood moving " largely an anti-inflammatory action? Examining the research on several of these herbs seems to indicate a role at the cellular level that would describe a counter to inflammation. Viewing ageing, for example, as an issue of blood stasis does not obviate seeing it as a matter of inflammation. They are the left and right hand of stagnation.
