SV: aspirin

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have clearly seen a cronic prostatitis in many patients get better if I

give extract from populus, which contains acetyl-salisylic acid.

Some interesting work on aspirin.

Aspirin is clearly a blood moving substance: "

 

1. relieves joint pain

 

2. relieves chest pain

 

3. stop mild heart attack

 

4. decreases swelling

 

c/c: may induce bleeding in excessive doses

 

It is important to understand that the bleeding side effects of

aspirin are associated with does over 1gram per day. There is no

association with this risk at 81g per day. There is even evidence

that does up to 325g/day might be beneficial.

 

Since aspirin is clearly a blood moving, cooling substance, then

perhaps it has other properties associated with this category of

herbs. And perhaps just as it has superior pain relieving properties

compared to these herbs, it may also be superior in its other

effects. Evidence now points to its anti-inflammatory, platelet

stickiness decreasing and (yes) antioxidant properties to make it a

powerful preventive of not only heart disease, but also cancer (esp.

colon) and Alzheimer's.

 

Naturopaths have long held the theory that chronic inflammation is a

major factor in degenerative disease and premature aging. Major TCM

theories likewise associate these with heat: dampheat, yin fire, yin

vacuity heat, warm pathogens, cold pathogens transformed to heat.

But some simmering of low grade heat signs is common to all these.

Modern medicine has recently piled up much research to support this

concept. Naturopaths have made diet the central agent in decreasing

inflammation. TCM has used herbs. Characteristically modern med

uses drugs. However drugs are only a problem if they cause side

effects. If you live to be 100 and 175mg/day of aspirin was the key,

then you win. Everyone dies and you can't put off the inevitable

decline of the body no matter how good you eat, no matter what herbs

you take, etc. From this perspective, there actually may be a role

for substances that block so-called " normal " bodily processes if the

net result is longer life, less symptoms and diseases related to

inflammation with no noticeable side effects.
