How I Use Aspirin to Unclog Arteries 

Eat healthy, exercise, take baby aspirin as well as vitamin tabs, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 90th birthday lately. 😊

As a Mortician ( who worked as a Mortuary Tech for 5 years at the Coroners) I can tell you it was common knowledge that 90% of Sudden Deaths due to natural causes ) would NOT have happened if that person was on a daily dose of a blood thinner like dispirin / aspirin ( same thing ). I knew about the importance of it well before then ( I have been working in mortuaries since I was very young ) and as a result I have been on a daily dose since I was 25. The above experience just solidified my position on it.

My father took Asprin for fifty years after a heart attack, and had no problems, at 89 a new doctor stopped him taking it, two years later he had heart problems, he had to have a pacemaker fitted, six months later he died.If only i had seen a video like your, perhaps he would now be 100 years old.

I am 67 and don’t take baby Aspirin anymore despite of the fact that I had a triple bypass 6.5 years ago but instead I have been taking 8000 FU of Nattokinase with K2 MK 7 and these have done wonders for me, I exercise every single day for HIIT to strength training and hikes in the woods lost 62 lbs and eat 99 % vegetarian diet and this has done wonders to for me. No longer on diabetic Metformin anymore either, my daughter became my inspiration she holds a PhD in regenerative medicine and an MD and on her way to become a Cardio thoracic surgeon. Thx to Dr. Brewer for always putting out these informative videos and you are making a difference.

My son's heart surgeon has been talking Aspirin for 30 years he recommends taking aspirin!

I have been taking 325 for 20 years. It also lessons the chance of getting cancer I’ve read. I feel great at 62.

Dear Dr. Ford. I am a (Dutch) retired B-747 captain. Appr. some 25 years ago during my annual medical check the examining medical docor advised me to use 100mg of aspirin every day mainly because of the fact that I was doing longhaul flights. That means a lot of sitting. To avoid clogging of the arteries I started doing this. At this moment I am 72 years of age and I stil use, every day, this little medicin and I am lucky to be in very good health. Every day I jump on my racingbike and easily ride 60-80 miles. Ofcourse other factors are contributing to health but I am convinced that this little pill did and does its work. Thank you for this interesting and re-assuring video. Greeting from The Netherlands!

I had a heart attack in 2019 and had stents inserted. Afterwards, I was prescribed 75mg Aspirin daily and my gp advised me strongly to continue taking it indefinitely if I had no side effects. I follow a healthier lifestyle now and have no adverse reaction at all to the Aspirin and no other issues whatsoever in the intervening 5 years. I hope this continues, I'm 64.

I have taken two aspirin every morning for thirty years. I had migraine headaches appear often before this and got very sick of it. I decided to just take the two aspirin every day since. I have not had a migraine headache ever again. I do from time to time get the aura but it goes away quickly, and there is no headache. Aspirin is a blessing.

I've used aspirin daily for decades. Thank you for this reassurance.

Thank you Ford. I am a retired physician IM/Peds/Hospitalist/ER. I watched the entire video. Great job educating the masses. Keep up the good work. Like you, looking to un-retire & focus on improving the health of our peers. I am 66, a lifetime athlete, and former research scientist. Would love to talk with you about your journey back into medicine after retirement.

Thank you for breaking down the complexities of aspirin and its impact on heart health. Your dedication to preventive medicine is truly appreciated.

No video could ever be "too long" with this amount of clarity and structured presentation. Many thanks for your wonderful work.

I take 2 tblsps of apple cider vinegar, in a glass of water. I sip the mixture at night. I am overweight and my blood pressure is normal. I am 74 and have done this for years to clear out everything bowels, blood, calcium removal etc. Just like you put vinegar in a kettle it breaks down the calium and cleans the kettle. This is a cheap way to stay healthy. God Bless everyone and good health to all!

My doctor wanted me on it daily at age 45. The way I see it, if I fall over then I don’t have to worry about saving enough for retirement or job loss. Perspective is everything

I'm near 72 never had a heart attack even though I had two stents placed in the widowmaker artery of heart when I was 56 years old. I couldn't afford the high price of blood thinners on a long term basis. After using them the first two months after the stents the cardiologist told me stop the thinners and take one whole adult aspirin 325 grain once daily. I've done so for 16 years now and no harmful affect. Still heart attack and stroke free. No ulcers, no brain bleeding, no internal bleeding. I intend to keep right on doing it.

I feel very lucky to be alive. I was having TIA's and was sent to the local hospital where they discovered a 93% blockage of my Carotid artery (right). I am 57 years old. I was operated upon within 24 hours. A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful staff at my local NHS hospital you have saved my life.

Wow just found your channel...never had a dr ever explain one thing to me or my elderly sister. I bow down to you sir. Thank God for people like you. Take care thanks a million ❤

23 yrs ago I had 30mm (1.25") of stents fitted. My right coronary was 99% blocked. Have taken cardiac aspirin even since. It's a no brainer! My health is great!

Garlic in my low-carb meat based diet works for me. But I'm young and relatively healthy. My dad takes a baby aspirin every day after his triple bypass. He had his scans three years in a few weeks ago, and is showing reduced blockage! Thanks, doc!

Thank you for these series of videos. I survived an L.A.D. heart attack in 2016 because I knew something was wrong and was sitting in the E.R. when it hit, I was 52 and in the middle of building our retirement home. Since then I have casually searched RU-vid for alternative thinking on medicine. I do take a baby aspirin twice daily, one in the morning and one before bed.

During a very extended period (years) of extreme occupational stress I got atrial fib. Doc said I probably wouldn't make it 5 more years so I changed occupations and the atrial fib subsided. Always had a diet high in fats and carbs but also been very physically active and my pressure rose commensurate with diminished physical activity. Due to pain from abused tendons I started aspirin and my pressure leveled off at acceptable rate. Never smoked, stopped alcohol because it costs too much, proper weight and live in a 5 story house. Now busily retired and hope to reach the 100+ year span common to some of my ancestors. Covid proved we can't trust all the 'science' and we're wandering through a dark dense forest of bad information and scary monsters. Now to figure out how to live with less coffee. Thanx doc.

From south of Spain I would like to thank you for the very useful information. ❤🙏

I am 43, marthon runner for 15 years, always slim, and discovered 2 blocked arteries when i was 37, and had to have one stent fitted now on baby asprin, 80mg cholesterol and blood pressure, Dr Ford thanks for your videos, amazibg how you explain the what, why and how. Thanks so much! Am sure you will continue to save many many more lives. 😊

Dr. Ford I wish I would’ve met you years and years ago and you feel like an old friend. I’ve watched your videos you’re straight to the point and you know you were the best physicians I’ve ever spoke with take care my friend God bless.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to accuracy, honesty and countering ignorance in this world 🙏🏻

A baby aspirn QD saved me ,if u have to take asprin long term and to avoid a gastric ulcer ,please Take an enteric coated asprin instead...It will serve u well.Thank you Doc for this vedio.

Every video and article talks about aspirin for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. I started taking aspirin back about 12 or 15 years ago when there were announcements in the media that aspirin also reduced the risk of certain cancers....colon cancer being one of them. I had already, starting at 39, been found to make pre-cancerous polyps. Since I started taking aspirin daily, I have not produced a single polyp. This is why I continue to take it. To me, the risks are worth taking the aspirin for cancer prevention.

After my dad had a fatal heart attack his doctor in Germany called me and my brothers in and told us to take a full Aspirin and not listen to anyone who tells us not to take it. I have taken a full Aspirin now daily for over 32 years and outlived all my old relatives except my brothers. Most of our relatives died in their 50ties I am now 63 and feel great. Never had a problem with Aspirin ever. And that is a full one!

I found this video by accident. I am very well versed in medicine. This is an EXCELLENT VIDEO!

I had heart flutters for 35 years and couldn't get a doctor to figure it out. It was a daily thing, usually multiple times. One night I had heart racing issue that subsided thru the 5 second breathing practice, then then I had the flutters. This time they were persistent. 2 ambulances showed up. A running ECG left them in awe. They subsided by within an hr and I went home. I attributed this event to coffee from Tim's at 4pm and working til 7pm. I have previous MIs. I stopped drinking coffee period. Flutters have stopped. 👍

Thanks Doc. This video is God sent and very timely. I am 50 year old, fitness concious person. Have been running daily 6km , prefer walking to office/errands and regularly participate in marathon. My daily mileage used to be 22 to 25 km. on 13 Aug 24, I have had chest pain acommpanied with sweating and slurred speech. Rushed to the ER. Underwent angiography, no blockage, but had mild plaque. My bp, ecg and path test came normal. My LDL (140) and HDL(35) was off the mark, total cholesterol was normal. Diagnosis: Unstable Angina , Non obstructive CAD. I have been put on Aspirin 75 mg and atorvastatin 20mg, daily. I was bit worried about medication. I found your video very reassuring and helpful. Thank you very much. Warm regards , from Bengaluru, India.

Once in a way I used to take 75 mg aspirin and feel better. Now only realised the importance of taking aspirin after listening this video. Thanks a lot to you doctor.

Seven years ago, I found out I had a fib I found out the hard way. My heart was going crazy vibrating in my chest. Icouldn’t even walk a few feet without falling had no breath end ended up in the hospital for two days. I have a great cardiologist he also, a professor at the University of Texas. I got out of there after two days. I’ve never had an issue in seven years. The key is taking your medication Xarelto 20 mg . Metoprolol 100 mg twice a day and losartan 100 mg once a day . This is my recipe visit him every six months and my CBC is always very good. Aleister is very low. Also take Lipitor 20 mg a day. thanks for your video. I hope it helps a lot of people. By the way, my heart was beating 265 times per minute before I got to the hospital. I chewed onto two aspirins. I took one Klonopin .5 mg and I chewed on two Benadryl’s.

I've been taking low dose asprin for 20+ years it's great 👍

Thank you for a great informative video. I have learned a lot today. I just turned 70 this summer. I was told I had a heart attack a few years ago. I thought about when it could have happened. I later learned a pain medication I had been given by a Dr after a surgery was causing people to have heart attacks. I remember feeling strange after taking one pill and stopped taking it. I can't remember the name of that drug but it taught me not to blindly take any new meds without asking a question or two. God bless you for your wonderful video. From South Central Texas ❤❤❤

I'm happy to see this podcast is a reasonable length (30ish minutes) and quite focused.

Five years ago, I read a German study on Motherwort (a calmative in the mint family) for Afib, and after two weeks, it worked for me. The study mentioned 28 days. I keep a bottle at all times. Aspirin is a chelator, but I also use aged garlic and EDTA. It is my understanding that plaque is not just made up of one thing but rather calcium, Fibrin and fluids. EDTA for Calcium, Lumbrokinase/Nattokinase for the dissolving of fibrin. Since reading about aged black garlic, that is now a daily for me. I don't care if it comes out of my pores and I smell like Italian food. 😂😁

Yes, please continue with the in-depth discussion ...

I cook with ginger/garlic paste and turmeric every day. Nice to know I'm doing something right with my regular diet.

Dr. Brewer - much appreciated when you share your own story, things you have done and medications you take. I realize it's not direct medical advice, but it's very helpful. AND good to know you're in it with us 🥰

I’ve gotten migraines my whole life so I’ve probably used more excedrin than most people but I think it’s help my heart.

I am getting anxiety from doctors. From police, from authorities. Help me GOD. Amen!🙏🙏🙏❤😊

Aspirin, its anti inflammatory properties also reduces micro inflammation of the coronary arteries besides blood thinning and reducing platelets clumping. Always take with food.

Aspirin in Australia only costs less than a dollar for a full pack of 24!! So cheap its amazing and I take 1/2 a disprin a day and I can ho outside and shovel sand most of the day , push myself until I'm exhausted and yet my heart handles it well at 64 years old!!

My brother had an ablation due to AFib,he had it bad. He takes k2-100, D3 and takes electrolytes. He is doing great snd his oulse rate is never below 60- or iver 100; well if he is working out or active, it does go a bit higher. Thanks doc for sharing your insight with us all. I, and others, do appreciate your many contributions to keeping us informed.

For plaque I take lecithin to break down cholesterol, and take vitamin K2 to break down calcium deposits, and have lived 77 years with no incident of blokage

Stumbled across this..listened at first because his articulation and speach is eloquent and very easy to follow his process of explanation... ty Sir!

Thanks Doc. Sincerely. You are a good human being for sharing your knowledge here on RU-vid. It really advances mankind I believe.

12 years ago at age 56 I got 2 stents. Stopped aspirin after 1 year after doctor diagnosed thrombocytopenia and said it was too dangerous. Started taking OPC, vit d plus k2 mtk-7 and the last year 4000FU nattokinase. So far so good.

76 yo male, quad bypass and bovine atrial valve 14 years ago. Got off all NSAID's 12 years ago and started Nattokinase 200mg, K2 100mcg and D3 125mcg. Perfect scans since, and even a totally negative heart cath a week ago! Keto, 3 yrs, 6-0, 230 lbs down to 180, A1c down from 8.6 to 4.6!

You say thank you for watching. I say thank you for the time and effort you put into the video. An excellent eye opening video. Again, thank you.

Thank you for explaining the risks and benefits of different things in a clear and non biased way.

I have had AF for years ( I'm 49) your description of the heart flipping like a fish is exactly how it feels but I couldn't put it into words until I heard you saying that .

I’m glad I found this channel thanks Dr . Ford!

I've been taking it for years, no problems with bleeding, or any others. So, I will keep doing it. I'm 68, and have had thyroid disease for years as well, which is a known risk factor for CVD. The males in my family have exhibited plaque build up and/or ischemic episodes. Thank you doc for this great video and making me feel more comfortable about taking my aspirin. Keep up the good work! Also, please update us on the benefits of daily tadalafil as more evidence come in. Thanks!!

I was 40 years old, and aspirin did save my life

Thank you 😊 this video cleared up so much about my mom's mini strokes and my dad's heart issues. I discovered your channel due to a wrong image for bergamot and I subscribed because I was impressed that you fixed it and that convinced me that you're someone who truly cares about accuracy and now I'm glad that I subscribed 👍 One never knows what the result of wholesome karma will be or when it will bear fruit, but we can trust that it will be wholesome.

I quit my road racing and years of running, including the Olympic Trials, at age 73 (7 years ago) due to wear and tear on my knees. Within a few months I was suddenly diagnosed with AFIB. I had none of the symptoms I've read about. Only an irregular heartbeats...58, 74, 61, 85, 94, 57 101...and so on. They prescribed me Metoprolol and reluctantly, Eliquis, I've since had a total knee replacement - due to 602 road races - (10K's and up), and also laminectomy with all that pounding. All successful. Tests confirmed the AFIB, so I am careful. No overheating here in Arizona heat.

If the government has a recommendation, I do the opposite. It's worked for me! Dr. Brewer: My compliments on your sound and lighting!

Not only is Aspirin a great help in preventing and alleviating pain and heart issues, it has been shown in recent studies to prevent cancer.

CoQ10 is also great for your heart. I take garlic, tumeric, salmon oil, CoQ10, K2 45mcg, baby asprin, vitamin C, quercetin, EGCG, melatonin, and a multiple.

Thank you so much. You’ve answered so many questions for me. I had a TIA a few months ago and have been prescribed daily aspirin. 🌟

This video should spread all over the world 👌🏼📍🔝📡

At 57 with long time athletic hobbies (climbing cycling time trials, running, golfing)had here & there heart episodes. But got a big scare just like you described in the video: at night time 150 irregular heartbeat, entire chest exploding. Next day my doc gave me a week worth of Rx Eliquis which helped at once. Two months later I now have Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation every week always at night. Try to manage stress, not overexercise, diet (always!), got rid of any caffeine. Please do more informative videos like this one. Healthy athletic people are just apparently as vulnerable to AtriFib as the overweight diabetics. 🙏

The 1956 Chevrolet Belair has always been my favorite car. There’s something special about it that makes me smile, it just reminds me of better times.

I most likely developed Persistent Atrial Fibrillation in early 2020 at age 56, with no clue other than noticing short breath. Thought I was just out of shape that spring from the winter months of doing nothing. Had tests done in 2021 and that's when I was told that I have AFIB. Had Catheter Ablation done in February of 2022 and rhythm is now very good. I also take Pradaxa (150mg) twice a day and was told that I should stay on it indefinitely. After discovering all of this I found out my brother, father, aunts and some cousins also have AFIB. Seems in runs in my father's side of the family. I know that my long-term outlook most likely means that my AFIB will return in time, maybe, maybe not I hoping. But if so, I can always do another Catheter Ablation, once more. Good luck everyone and my prayers. 🙏❤🙏

Had AFIB three years ago. Apple Watch said I had it at 2:00 am. Checked into the ER even though I felt fine. 24 days later, had a CABG with ablation to resolve the AFIB. I’m taking Clopidogrel which I believe is a blood thinner with a daily asperin. So far so good!

I'm 57, afib has been a part of my life since the age of 26. The most recent occurred this year in February. I have been in hospitals 7 times for afib. Back in February, I had a procedure called an ablation. So far, I have been okay. BTW, I also have high blood pressure most of my life. So I'm on 4 medications on a daily basis. HBP meds, Diltiazem, and Hydralazine. Also, Pantoprazole coats my stomach, so when I take Eliquis. It's not an easy road, but still kicking.

I’m 58, always had a healthy lifestyle, worked out 6 days a week plus practiced martial arts for over 30 years. One day at 51 years old, right after I retired, I started feeling really weird, long story short, my widow maker was 98% blocked, had open heart surgery ( one by pass ) after that I started researching and discovered, through blood tests that my LPa levels are 365 😳😬 went to my cardiologist, he had no idea what I was talking about. Been on baby aspirin and cholesterol meds since my surgery. Baby aspirin has not lowered my LPa. If the next time I go see my cardio, he doesn’t have a specific targeted plan to lower my LPa, I’m looking for a new cardio.

and 80 yrs old in great shape and complete life style changed!

My dad lived to be 92 years old. He smoked cigarettes and cigars for 60 years. He ate bacon and eggs almost daily.

Pycnogenol + Curcumin Combined Effects: Both have antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin inhibits COX enzymes similarly to aspirin. Suggested Dose: 100-150 mg Pycnogenol + 500-1,000 mg curcumin per day. Considerations: This combination is likely to have significant antiplatelet effects, but curcumin's bioavailability can be low, so using a formulation with enhanced absorption is beneficial.

Aspirin poisoning may have contributed to the high mortality rate of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which killed an estimated 50-100 million people. At the time, medical professionals didn't fully understand aspirin's pharmacology or dosing, and the drug industry promoted its use. The U.S. Surgeon General, Navy, and the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended aspirin as a treatment for the flu, and advised patients to take up to 30 grams per day, which is now known to be toxic. Aspirin overdose can look similar to the flu, so people who didn't recover from the flu may have continued taking aspirin and died from what they thought was the flu. Symptoms of aspirin poisoning include pulmonary edema, or fluid buildup in the lungs, and hyperventilation. Some researchers believe that many deaths in October 1918 were caused or hastened by aspirin poisoning.

48 years old, healthy, no major health problems. On my labs, endocrinologist said my HGB/HCT was a bit on the high side (17.6/51.3). I started taking a baby aspirin at night and now wake up feeling better. I feel like the aspirin helps with cardiovascular health, blood pressure remains good. I also don't have any of the side effects like stomach ulcer.

A very useful expose, I would add that while AFIB creates blood clots , these not only travel to block blood to the brain resulting in a stroke but can also stop blood supply to the lungs resulting in deadly pulmonary embolism. I am now 93 and narrowly survived 2 embolisms 12 and10 years ago. i was diagnosed with AF after the first one, and was put on warfarin which caused ongoing nose bleeds, when my doctor put me on baby aspirin although i knew it would be only half as efficient as warfarin (25% vs 50%) . Within a year ,I had my second pulmonary embolism when I was lifted unconscious from the floor and sent directly to ER who saved my life. I could not risk another embolism or stroke and have only used a very expensive NOAC (Pradaxa) since then , without bleeding or other problems. ( Pradaxa since then)

Funny this video popped up, as I have JUST MADE an appointment for Wednesday to discuss my smart watch notifications of AFIB! I heard fish oil can cause (or aggravate) AFIB, so I stopped immediately. I wish you had your AFIB videos now so I had some additional information and questions to ask. Of course I looked on Dr Google, but I have zero of the health concerns. I don’t eat added sugar, alcohol or ultra processed foods. Exercise daily. I’m trying to change from sleeping on my left side and increasing my water intake significantly. I’m so nervous about my appointment as this is my first real health issue and I’m all over the place! I’m 77, 118 pounds zero meds. I learned SO MUCH with this video and really appreciate all your hard work in presenting these details in a manner we can understand!

There's a reason our life expectancy has gone up so much. It's the modern medicine that we have access to and I'm very grateful for it all. As for the tests, my husband passed his ECG and his stress test. But a heart ct scan showed that his arteries were blocked and after an angiogram he needed bypass surgery. He had 3 more weeks, the surgeon said. I appreciate your balanced and honest approach. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing!!! He now takes an aspirin every day and visits his cardiologist about every 18 months.

Thanks for the great video. Your point starting at 16:15 "It's too lucrative now" kind of sums up so much of expensive but not highly effective health care recommendations and practice (routine colonoscopies come to mind..). That's why this type of excellent doctor produced preventative education is worth it's weight in gold!

Grow your beard Ford! It will teach you patience. Btw, I wore the chest monitor watching for Atrial Fib for 30 days. I didn't have AF. But I did have 2 strokes. Now I take 81 mg Aspirin, eat Salmon 2 times a week, I walk pretty much 5 times a week with a goal of 10,000 steps and I'm trying to lose weight. My Cardiologist wants my LDL under 55. Last lipid test I was at 63 LDL. LP (a) was 31. APoB was 59. Total cholesterol was 119. Taking life 1 day at a time. Thank you for all you are doing! I really appreciate you Ford !

I have severe chronic muscle pain all day 24x7. Have had it for 15 years now and I'm 35 years old. Took Aspirin recommended dosage for about 3 weeks for the first time in my life and started vomiting blood. It caused a bleeding ulcer. Scariest thing that ever happened to me in my life. The hospital bill with insurance was $10k. I'm still paying it off 3 years later

I will never be able to trust Pharma controlled main stream medicine after the last 3 years and what doctors in general did. I try to do all of these things on my own. Wish that wasn't the case, but there it is. This is still happening. I am leaning towards Naturopaths if possible, when and if necessary. :(

You are so smart I'm going to take my aspirin every day😊

I started donating whole blood back in my military days and I continued after I got out. The blood bank folks asked if I wanted to donate platelets one day and I agreed. I donated platelets for a couple of decades every other week. One of the benefits was that I got rid of the excess platelets in my blood. Then in 2019 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer (likely from Camp Lejune's water), after a couple of years I asked my VA dr. if I could go back to donating platelets, she advised me to not donate anymore as I likely still have some cancer cells flowing around my blood and I don't want to give it to some innocent person. She said just to take an 81 mg asprin instead. Everyday.

My mom had a major stroke and she refuses to take medications. I started giving her 250,000 SPU Serapeptase and 12000FU of Nattokinase and high quality fish oil (Daily) and she still ended up having another stroke. Medication is a must in some cases.

Thank you very much. I listened very closely and appreciate your frankness. Bravo

Fantastic video lesson. Thanks so much, I loved it. These lessons really helped me target what I need to study regarding my own condition I appreciate your efforts so much.

Former pro athlete, fit and I had a stroke 10/2018, AFib, caused stress from my wife having an affair. Lost my speech and memory. While in the hospital I found out I had PFO. I know the percentages of those that have a PFO with Afib that will have a stroke. They put me on Eliquis and inserted a loop recorder. No afib since. Fast forward I closed the PFO, off Eliquis and was put on Baby Aspirin. I was on Lipitor, but I’ve come off of it because I’ve seen more studies that it contributes to Alzheimer’s and Dementia. I’ve noticed that my memory and tiredness has gone away since not being on a statin. I do OCR’s, Spartan and Deka Fit events. At 62.. I’m still in great shape, no AFib’s, but still curious about the plaque. I’ve looked at doing a CAC test.. but don’t know if that will help me. My total cholesterol is 160-170. My Tryg/HDL ratio seems normal. So I’m still wondering about statins and its effects and if it’s something I should watch it. Thanks for your video and your story.

Ive been taking about 325 mg of aspirin since the early 70 s im now 74 . My heart is perfect as far as i know .

I've taken aspirin for 40+ years. No plaque build up despite having high triglycerides and cholesterol. 650mg per day.

Nicely done You are a good, compassionate person with knowledge

756...my mother die 95 years old ,, taken 1 Bayer aspirin 80 mg a day for more 50 years ,,eating healthy food Small porcion , and fasting.❤❤

Really excellent explanation of aspirin use. I really appreciate it.

A technical not about aspirin. It has a half-life of about 5 days. It you take 80mg, 5 days later, 40mg is still in your system. So, if you miss a dose, there is no reason to panic or megadose the next day.

Thank you so much for this wonderful, informative video. I'm 82 years old and recently diagnosed with CHF, I'm in a very early stage, but very frightened. Not happy with the medical field where I live especially Geriatrics, trying to live with it, so to speak, don't know what else to do except gather a lot of my info thru various resources. My entire family and beyond had heart problems of one sort or another. I've read a book on recovery and have changed my lifestyle a bit and taking more supplements, but at my age, sometimes I feel like what's the use. Thank you again.

My cardiologist said aspirin is fine, and the focus should be on staying fit. He believes sedentary lifestyles are to blame for most all ailments

I have AFib I'm on Eliquis, the cost is why I don't want to be on it, being on Medicare, well it is what it is but after this video I'm really going to think about this, I don't want to have a heart attack nor a stroke, I go to a new cardiologist in a few months, I'll talk to him and pray he's a good, well informed physician, then decide what my options are , sometimes I am my own worst enemy, thank you for a very informative video

Paracelsus the Father of medicine once stated. "Let your food be your medicine and inturn let your medicine be your food."😊

So far so good, but good luck finding out if you have plaque. Docs will not do fluoroscopy until after you are on the table getting stented, which is too late to avoid a heart attack by using aspirin. Presumably, you will know you have plaque AFTER that moment, but that is way too late to stop the cascade effects that come from the first attack (if you survive it). This is a catch-22 condition for the "taking aspirin" decision. Edit: Made this comment before watching the rest of the video. CIMT is something I might look into.

I am so glad you are back to teaching us on your own. I find you explain things in a way I can easily understand.
