Sorry I meant for this to go in the muscle rub thread but now I can't find it!

is it safe to take aspirin everyday? I don't know but was told its less popular now because its bad for stomach or something if used regularly like people with heart problems usually only take a much lower than pain relief strength if using daily I don't know but I saw some people did well with l arginie on here that mean to increase circulation also I may try it.

I don't mean to answer in Emily's place, but aspirin acts like a blood thinner essentially. By taking it it'll reduce the viscosity of blood and make it easier for it to flow and circulate while also helping to reduce the likelihood of potential blood clots which can cause a heart attack or aneurism.

Aspirin, like many other drugs and even herbs, can build up in the liver but can also affect other body parts mainly those of the GI tract, which the liver does play a part in with its release of bile for digestion.

Sometimes the small side effects such as those can be outweighed by the potential benefit for those at risk with high bad cholesterol or those who have suffered from heart attacks or blood clots.

If I'm correct, Emily is also a med student or going into the medical field or has taken classes in school that may be beneficial towards answering your question, but there's a quick answer from a pre nursing major. Hope that helps til Emily can reply!

I am on warfarin which is a stronger anticoagulant drug than asparin. It means my blood is basically twice as thin as "normal" blood. I have had about 1 inch growth since the end of Jan using massage, hypnosis and upping the protein in my diet (also been noogling for a month).

So I don't know if thin blood helped me, but my results have far exceeded my expectations given that I am 30 with a heart condition.

BTW if you want to take aspirin every day, take a 100mg 'baby' aspirin tablet, and make sure it's coated. My pharmacist said that taking uncoated aspirin was bad for your stomach long term. I read somewhere on the noogleberry forum (the post was the science behind noogling or something similar) that there was a very minor risk of stroke from suction therapy so maybe it's not such a bad idea for our health in NBE (especially if we are taking internals with estrogen properties).
