Advice shifting on aspirin use for preventing heart attacks

So, a low dose aspirin a day can cut severe COVID symptoms by close to half. This was just released two or three days ago.

Ah, not so fast there my friends. You shouldn't try taking a daily low dose aspirin just yet according to "U.S. Preventive Services Task Force" said to be a voluntary private "influential health guidelines group" that collaborates with the NIH and receives funds from the HHS.

This group came out with this right on time!

If finalized, the advice for older adults would backtrack on recommendations the panel issued in 2016 for helping prevent a first heart attack and stroke.

Older adults without heart disease shouldn't take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday.

Bleeding risks for adults in their 60s and up who haven't had a heart attack or stroke outweigh any potential benefits from aspirin, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said in its draft guidance.

I have had chest pain many times and take a low dose aspirin and it has gone away.
I see not reason to take it until you need it.

So it reads to me more like they're finally tailoring this to folks who actually can make use of the Daily (like me) versus those who have no pressing need to try to mitigate anything (such as folks with comparatively perfect cardiovascular health)


I always figured the aspirin advice was more....blanket advice at best. Kind of like any other daily mitigation thing, not all adults NEED a multi-vitamin, for example, but those who could use the boost get the best use from them. I imagine aspirin is identical in application, not everyone can make enough use of it to benefit.

Put 2+2 together.

Blood clot problems are increasing due to these hideous Covid vaccines.

Aspirin can cause these blood clots to (more easily) break loose from the arterial walls and lodge in the brain, heart, or lungs, causing more problems.


Thank-you for sharing this important aspirin development. I'm going to place it in my Covid-19 consumer information on blood-clot thread, right now.

Probably means it works really Good ! Must be fascinating “back room” conversations in big pharma conference rooms, “How do we discourage a trusted, profitable product like baby aspirin ,if it interferes with jab agenda ? “

I was taking 81 mg per day before I had Covid. After Covid, I doubled the dosage. I asked my doctor before doubling the dose and he had no problem at all with it.

The aspirin helps keep the clots from forming in the first place. That is why they had recommended that people with heart disease take them.

What was the recent news about aspirin & covid symptoms? My own quick search didn't reveal anything notable since last Spring.

I was going to question the dosages they are talking about, but I just downloaded the Draft
Evidence Review and it looks like they are calling anything from 75mg to 325mg (I'm assuming
once a day dosing) as low dose.
The document is 233 pages. Right now, I'm just scanning for key words. I'll sit down and slog through
it after work.
Regardless of the merits of the recommendation (and I happen to agree with limiting it's use), prophylactic aspirin for cardiovascular issues is so ingrained in the public's mind that a lot of people take it without even consulting their MD. Further, a lot of patients seem to think that the old policy of "if a little is good, a lot is better" is applicable in this situation.
So, the recommendation will only go so far.

Yeah, that's what I'm also getting from it. I wouldn't recommend it to patients without a risk for cardiovascular disease or active disease anyway.

Maybe TPTB want better clot results from the RonaShot 😷😉

Yeah, Doctors very often are clueless.

Just google 'dangers of low dose aspirin', and you'll quickly - once you scroll past the ads and propaganda... the real info, like: NIH study finds "no affect on healthy lifespan" from low dose aspirin.

So, no benefits (where it counts), and can also be dangerous.

It would be much better to just get on a heart healthy high animal fat moderate animal protein low card diet and get your entire heart and circulatory system healthy.

Hey what about people that have to use blood thinner meds like Warfarin or Eliquis ?

I heard that Fauci works for the NIH.
I don't really trust him, and the NIH apparently does.
Oh, what to do.
I had several relatives on they mothers side that ate aspirin, as much as a dozen in a single dose. They lived into their late 80's.
People are different.

FYI: Vaccine-induced Clot formation is overpowering the aspirin's clot-prevention properties.

Now, the aspirin can cause the vaccine-induced clots to break free, causing severe traumas.

*****DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE AND SHOULD ONLY SERVE AS FOOD THOUGHT*****

Just before the pandemic was declared, I was struck by something that, in retrospect, had the signature of covid; brain fog, loss of smell temporarily, headaches, chest problems that made it hard to breathe, ventolin and flovent not helping one bit.

I "got better", but 5 months after this began, I still woke up with pain in my chest area, having trouble breathing with my heart pumping like I was running like hell. Every single day, and it took around 3 hours before I could feel at ease enough to go about my day.

Then, on one of my rare presence on Facebook, I saw a post that said it was a heart problem, not a lungs one, and related to blood. It made me think and made a lot of sense to me.

I decided that I would take XXXmg of aspirin every 6 hours for 3 days, no more, and go from there. After the first day, I already felt better. By the end of the third day, I felt a bit above 95% of how I felt before getting sick.

Since then, everything has remained the same, chest problems are gone and didn't come back and everything is back to normal, almost.

I've been sitting on this since then, but with the news being out and people talking about it, I wanted to share my personnal experience about this very thing.

Again, I will not recommend it and this post isn't an encouragement to replicate, but to have a discussion about.

Also, I remained vague on my quantity of aspirin intake then because it was based on an evaluation of my condition, based on facts about myself, and no one is the same. Health personal who have been told my story and intake amount think I was radical, even crazy, but it seems it worked.

I just caught the aspirin study a few days ago, but I believe the studies go back a bit. Just before it became a thread here . . .

The study was done during the first few months of the year. The results were released in March. I think any medication that reduces inflammation or thins the blood will at the very least have a slight therapeutic value for covid.

I will wait till my Dr tells me not to take it anymore. It is amazing how much garbage they come up with to make sure you get the vaccine .
