Aspirin and cancer: the emerging evidence

Professor Peter Elwood
Honorary Professor, Cardiff University
There is a remarkable harmony between the effects of aspirin on the biological mechanisms of cancer metabolism and growth, and clinical evidence of reductions in cancer mortality and metastatic cancer spread.
Although aspirin increases the number of bleeds, the severity of bleeds attributable to aspirin is low, and the risk-benefit balance of aspirin appears to be favourable to aspirin.

By the time my endometrial sarcoma was diagnosed, it had reached stage 4B, the very final stage. Prognosis was 15% survival in 3 years' time, 7% without chemo and radiation. I opted for a hysterectomy and a lung lobectomy, where a nearly 2 cm encapsulated tumor was found, but no chemo or radiotherapy. Prior to this, I had been taking a daily dose of 100 mg of aspirin for years. Even though cancer cells had migrated to the lung, apparently the immune system noticed it and encapsulated it to protect the lung. According to Professor Elwood, the aspirin would have been responsible for enhancing the immune system's recognition of the interloper. No cancer was found in any of the nearby organs. I also started taking fenbendazole after getting the diagnosis in early April. A months later when I went into hospital for the hysterectomy the surgeon found no cancer in the lymph system or anywhere else. In July a PET scan was performed before the lung lobectomy - again no cancer activities were found. It's now a year on and the last CT scan showed that I continue to be cancer free.

I have been using willow bark as a pain killer for years now, and as many people know, Aspirin is a synthesised form of salicylic acid found in the inner bark of willow trees. I get my willow bark from a neighbour’s tree, which is cut back regularly. If you cut the willow in the spring as the sap is rising, it is very easy to peel and separate the inner and outer bark, which is then dried on the doorstep. To use it I chop a strip of dried bark, one or two teaspoons worth, and steep in boiled water for about 15 minutes. You get a pinkish liquid which is tolerably bitter. I have encouraged several friends who are on high doses of pain killers to do their own research, and if they are happy to try it, to give it a go. I have had great feedback of people coming off, or greatly reducing their intake of strong pain killers, which they have been on for years. I wonder if the bark contains something else which works in tandem with the active salicylic acid to amplify it’s effect over that of the synthesised version? I also use it to improve rooting for cuttings from the garden.

I took aspirin regularly in the belief it reduced risk of heart problems. One day, on a walk, I found I could not keep up with an 88 year old woman and I was out of breath. My doctor immediately sent me to a cardiologist and for a blood test. Next morning, she phoned me and said "Cancel the cardiologist - you have extremely severe anaemia'. A colonoscopy and other examinations of the digestive system (including swallowing a TV camera pill) revealed nothing. I stopped taking aspirin and my hemoglobin level returned to normal. So taking aspirin is not entirely risk free.

We are continually making new cells and sloughing off old ones. When cells become 'cancerous' it means that due to damaged DNA from smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, inhaling carcinogenic chemicals over time, UV exposure, etc., or simply from drawing the genetic short straw, this growth cycle speeds up and they begin to develop in such a way that our immune systems either do not recognise them, or their normal attack systems are thwarted by mutations, until ultimately they increase in such a way that they interfere with the operation of organs or other body systems.. There are commonalities among cancers in people from widely different backgrounds and from different parts of the world: lung cancer; pancreatic cancer; non Hodgkins lymphoma; skin cancer, and all the familiar and less familiar ones, and for decades now doctors have been relying on carefully tailored infusions of toxic drugs to interrupt the way cancer cells grow. Often with success, and sometimes not. Recent advances in biomedicine and genetic engineering, ,however, have allowed researchers to identify certain markers on cancer cells and develop astonishingly targeted protocols that "retrain" our immune sytems to once again be able to recognise and attack aggressively mutant cell clusters. It is still early days, and sadly too late for many, but cancer treatment has improved enormously over the last ten years and new therapies come on line every month. Having said all that there are still people who never develop any kind of cancer--either they weren't exposed, or didn't expose themselves to known carcinogens, or they have superior genes, or perhaps they have an exceptionally finely tuned immune system.

If I'm going to take an OTC analgesic it's going to be aspirin. Ibuprofen in any quantity messes up my memory recall and paracetamol makes me feel like I've been kicked in the liver. In fact I'd like to see a study doing an analysis to see if there is any link between ibuprofen use and cognitive impairment. True story. I had a shoulder injury and the recommendation was to take ibuprofen to ease the pain. After a couple of days of this my thinking got really foggy. Information which I knew was in my head just would not recall on demand. I stopped the ibuprofen and the head cleared. Upon returning to the doctor I said I'd given up on the ibuprofen. The doctor's response was, "Yes I know what you mean. It really messes with my head when I take it." One wonders if lasting use might contribute to a longer term decline. The economics don't favor such an investigation though. One of the reasons why the drug companies aren't interested in aspirin is there is almost no way to monetize it to any great extent. Wouldn't do to have the rug pulled from under a cash cow like ibuprofen.

People should ignore their lies. They care not whether you live or die, as long as they get as much money from you as possible before you leave this world. Sop trusting these low life fuckers.

When I was young, my father passed on a bit of wisdom. Years earlier (before I was born), his doctor told him, very directly, "Take an aspirin a day, and you won't die of a heart attack." That was a remarkably strong statement. It made an impression on him, and made an impression on me, too. In my 40's, I began taking daily low dose aspirin, and I attribute it to reduction of harm in several areas of health in my own life. As noted in the presentation, these are observational studies, and anyone can be on the wrong side of the risk/benefit equation for reasons not even considered yet. But given the trivial cost and the many known benefits, I treat aspirin as more of a "likely helps" nutritional supplement (given its origin as a derivative of salicylic acid found in plants) rather than a pharmaceutical product.

[@le_th_]

Actually, aspirin is a blood thinner, so if you don't already have a clotting issue with your blood, it's not that revolutionary or "remarkably strong" to state. This is why they ask you to NOT take aspirin two weeks before surgery because they don't want your blood to be too thin, they want you to be able to clot easily.

In 1966 my grandma, who was 59, had a heart attack. The doctor told her she needed a triple bypass. She told him no. So he gave her a little white pill called Nitroglyserin and she would take that under her tongue whenever she had pain or pressure. It would work very quickly. She never had another heart attack and lived to be 94. It's funny that I've never heard of anyone else using the Nitroglyserin pills. I guess it just wouldn't give the Doctors enough money if they prescribed it instead of bypasses.

I took aspirin for many years, to help me deal with atypical facial pain. I followed the instructions on the label, as to the maximum daily dose, however with the permission of my MD, I took some every day. Did this from 1967 to around 1999, a bit more than 30 years, at which point I developed stomach ulcers. No hemmoraging, but multiple ulcers in my stomach and duodenum, which made it impossible for me to hold down any food at all. Even water came back up. After 2 weeks of not eating my physician finally discovered the ulcers with a gastric endoscopy. I was advised to stop taking aspirin, and had to take omeprazole for several years, in order to be able to eat and hold down food. So - I did not have a life threatening bleed in terms of the amount of blood loss, aspirin was causing a serious problem nonetheless - being unable to eat.

[@T.Akara1971]

How can you take omeprazole for years? I took it for a few months and my stools turn pale and grey. I stopped taking it right there feeling something must be wrong. I learned later that omeprazole caused liver inflammation and grey stools is a sign of it.

[@soilmanted]

@@T.Akara1971 I never got gray stools. I don't remember exactly how long I took it, but at first I took it, or esomeprazole, for I think, about 2 years, and took it every day because if I didn't take it, my gastrointestinal symptoms would come back within a day or 3 after I stopped. And my gastroenterologist kept prescribing it, at the prescription level dose (twice the non-prescription dose). Then I tend to remember off, and back on, like for example stopping it for for maybe 10 days, then going back on for 7 or 10 days, then off again. I learned that it interfere with absorption of some micronutrients, so that it was a good idea to go off it for as many days, or more, as being on it. I never noticed any side effects though. And I always took the prescription level dose because the 1/2 dose did not work for me. Today I only take it for 2 or 3 days, maybe once every 3 months. I think my ulcers began around 1999 and I took omeprazole on and off until around 2022. After 2022 I was able to manage without it except for occasional use. Part of the reason why is I began eating less in 2022. 68 inches tall. I weighed 145 pounds until 2022, when I lost 20 pounds. Very hard to to lose that weight and to stay at that weight, but the smaller amount of food I'm eating allows me function without gastrointestinal problems, without frequent use of omeprazole.

Did your doctor check for (and/or treat) H. Pylori endoscopically?

[@privateerburrows]

If I take aspirin (and the only ones I have are the 325 mg coated "stomach guard"), even just one, I get stomach burn later that day. So, I very rarely take it; only in cases of a very severe headache that won't go away with tylenol and ibuprofen together, I finally bite the bullet and take aspirin; but it really does a number to my stomach when I do. And once I always lost my life to aspirin. I used to suffer from hemorroids (before I had surgery for them), and one morning I woke up with a headache so strong I ended up taking two aspirins; but then I had to go to the bathroom #2 and the water was red. This had happened before, but over the next 20 minutes I had to go again and again, passing just blood each time; so I took a taxi to the Jewish Hospital here in Montreal, went to emergency. The lady at the desk did not believe me when I told her I was bleeding continuously, but told me I had to "wait like everybody else" ... Finally I passed out, and many hours later I woke up hooked up to intravenous; it had taken two big bags of blood to keep me alive. To me, this doctor is a shill for Bayer. I'm sure all the studies he quotes were paid for by Bayer. And it was probably the PR think tanks at Bayer that decided to throw in the bit about drug companies not having an interest in this research ... Yeah, sure Bayer doesn't have an interest in selling aspirine ... Anyways, if there have been so many studies, why didn't he show 50 or 100 charts and graphs and statistics? Why did he only show a couple of graphs? Talk is cheap.

Willow bark natural aspirin, the bark of several varieties of willow tree, has been used for centuries as a pain reliever. The active ingredient in the medicine made from willow bark is called salicin. Some people use willow bark as an alternative to aspirin, particularly those that experience chronic headaches or back pain. Willow bark is also used in some products to aid weight loss. It comes from the branches of 2- to 3-year-old willow trees. Willow trees and shrubs grow all over the world, except for Australia and Antarctica. The white willow and black willow are two of the most common willows that are used medicinally. Side effects When taken in moderation, willow bark does not appear to have negative side effects. The salicin in willow bark converts to salicylic acid. Some believe that this makes it gentler on your stomach than lab-created aspirin. Too much willow bark, however, can cause stomach cramping and bleeding.

I refused because I know that I had two petit mal strokes that were immediately countered by aspirin. I have not had any since. Moreover, I have arteries that are clogged and I believe aspirin has kept me from having a heart attack or stroke. Now I believe that the main evidence for my primary's concern about aspirin was most probably based on what you just said about the pharmaceuticals with their ever growing need for profits, wanting to get this business. They have already tried and killed so many people, with their innovations and products to substitute for aspirin. I will never listen to anything they say.

@@guitarguyjoefry If you’re on medication because of a heart condition you need to follow careful medical advice. My understanding is that aspirin acts as a blood thinner and reduces the likelihood of clotting. That can be a bad thing if you get blood leaking where you don’t want that to happen, particularly in the brain. But it can be a good thing if it reduces clotting in a vein such as in DVTs. There may be a combined effect when taken with another anti clotting medication which is why you need medical advice relevant to your own circumstances.

I noticed in the comments, some people question why 81mg for a low dose Aspirin? Why not 80mg or 75mg? Whenever you take a low dose Aspirin, you are linking back to the Middle Ages, and the world of apothecaries. Early medicinal dosage used the apothecary system, based on the weight of a grain of barleycorn, the therefore the units of measurement was grains. By the late 1800’s, the metric system of measurement was firmly established for medicinal dosage, however, the apothecary units were still used by many pharmacists for the next 100 years. For Aspirin, the normal adult dose was 5 grains (gr) which equals 325mg. In the apothecary system, it was common to use a ¼ dose for babies; 1.25 gr, which equals 81mg. Now you know.

To see if there is even any real risk of a 'heart attack' you can get what is called a CAC score which measures the hard plaques in the blood vessels around the heart. According to the creator of the CAC score (Dr Agaston) he says you cannot have a widowmaker heart attack or most other heart attacks based on these hard plaques without multiple of these hard plaques in a vessel.

Aspirin was part of the Gerson Cancer therapy developed in the 40s and 50s. The grandfather of carrot and other fresh juices also. Niacin, B12 also used. No other B vitamins. No sodium, fat except flaxseed oil. However I also remember reading about women using aspirin daily increased risk of pancreatic cancer I think it was. And there is a book Selenium and Cancer where they recommend selenium being added to water supply, it is so beneficial! From 80s.

[@maryl234]

great - take the fiber out of the carrots - not too smart - juicing is a joke.

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

@@maryl234 Agreed 100% I got into juicing for a while in the nineties and found no benefit until I turned the process upside down. I tossed the juice and used the fiber as an additive to smoothies - with almost immediate beneficial results. Later I just gave the juicer away and have ever since just emphasized crucifer salads, with chopped lemon, including shredded peel, as the plant based portion of my omnivore diet. That's usually MealPart#1 daily and MealPart #2 is beef, or seafood, normally with 18 hours between feeding, the two meal parts are consumed within six hours.

In relation to the second recent breast cancer trial that was halted due to relapses.

It would be very interesting to know if there was any link in this study, but we'll never know.

[@addictiveaussie]

​@@meddylad Well, the media are not reporting on the most recent study by a group of Canadian virologists that have discovered billions, if not hundreds of billions, their words not mine, of DNA fragments in the plasmids of both the two leading brands single doses. One of the DNA fragments detected is Simian SV40, a known cancer causing DNA. Of course the EMA and FDA are denying any risk, but have they have failed to actually assess any risk, so they can't possibly discount it. The researchers conclusions were that the presence of DNA fragments, which were NOT present in the originally approved jabs, pose a very discernible risk. The whole jab roll-out was rushed and has been haphazard at best, criminally negligent at worst. I lean toward the later. How many recipients now face an uncertain future, especially young children? It is an utter disgrace.

I love aspirin. It was confusing why we needed acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. I just used regular aspirin for everything. I take 80mg aspirin daily for my factor 5 blood disorder (not serious, as single strain) but I noticed a lot of bruises on my hands. Talking with my Fire Medic brothers, yes, I have too, I said I stopped taking aspirin due the bruising and was told, "go ahead and kill yourself!" Aspirin seems to be the best and safest and cheapest medicine for almost everything.

[@KallePihlajasaari]

I think the patent ran out and it was too cheap and safe.

@kennielsen3896 I agree with you 100%. Aspirin has been battlefield tested for over a century. I never liked acetaminophen or Ibuprofen 🙂 I am considering to take 100mg everyday though I only take it when I feel sick now.

[@MelissaThompson432]

Several common foods and supplements are also blood thinners. That being the case, judicious alertness of how you're combining them is called for. I'm not saying don't take this or that, but timing, quantity, and pulsing doses are things to consider.

I am glad to hear this , as I take an aspirin every day. I had what appeared to be a Tia, two weeks before this I had a Covid test. I was on my computer got to be like 430pm, I had not eaten anything, noticed at first a halo around the lamp that was in front of me. I figured it was time for food, I started making something and soon shut it down, it started on one side then, I could not see, then went to the other side, at first I thought maybe I had been bitten, by something. In the bathroom, I checked it was not on the out side, so must be on the inside. The drawer with the aspirins was in front of me, I took two of them. As soon as they kicked in, it was over with.I was alone in the house and texted my daughter, told her I was not sure what was going on but she might have to call an ambulance for me,next day test were done but, they found nothing. Told be, I had stoped a Tia. I do have lung cancer, two lobes removed then 12 weeks of chemo, it made it worse. B3 rating. I take vitamins E,selenium, d3, C. Do not care to go back.

[@juliamilford1979]

Please consider taking the Fenbendazole. See the comment by @ryanyunryan 3 weeks ago (edited) "I also started taking fenbendazole after getting the diagnosis in early April. A month later when I went into hospital for the hysterectomy the surgeon found no cancer in the lymphs or anywhere else" I am a vet and it has given a couple of my animals a full life, one cat had bone carcinoma when she was 12, she recovered fully, had a relapse at 15, recovered again and made it to 19. Another had skin cancer, she is healed and still going strong at 17. A friend had liver cancer, advanced when diagnosed, given 3 months by oncologist. We bullied her into trying the fenben, she lived to welcome 2 grandchildren. Sadly she kept going to the oncologist who persuaded her to carry on with chemo and radiation which made her so ill she actually wanted to die, so she stopped taking the fenbendazole. She had 4 more years than the oncologist could explain. www.cancertreatmentsresearch.com/fenbendazole/ Blessings and strength.

[@jodymckenzie3526]

just a question. had you had a covid vaccine at all, prior to what appeared to be a TIA ? Only ask because lots of vaccinated people are having chest pain & many other symptoms that the medical profession can find no reason for when put through tests at hospital. And a common denominator (been said to me and friends & family) seems to be that they had had a covid vaccine around the time of their symptoms or shortly thereafter.

No I had lung cancer, had to go for lots of test at that point, to make sure I did not have Covid before some of the procedures. I will not go back cause, of all that has been said about the medical world. I had to put the timing, on the test to the almost Tia, it was two weeks, after Covid test. It was horrible, having to wear a mask, and how ignorant the hospitals workers were. I had two lobes removed, a test in doctors office, with mask on, showed I was not getting enough air, when I removed it, I was ok. chemo made it worse, I ended up with two city, on my right kidney, one on my left kidney, one on my thyroid gland, and was told oh we do not do anything about that. Then five areas of concern on my right breast.. Nothing done there either, more test, nothing being done, so I am all set. God will take me when it’s time. So I went from a small spot to it was massive, from the end of August, til January 2020. He removed two lobes instead of one, suggest 12 weeks of chemo, because parts removed were, found to have cancer in lymph nodes. I am all set being a patient, I just want some peace in my life..

I took a lot of Aspirin for headaches for much of my adult life. Sometimes way way more than recommended. Just didn’t want to risk taking stronger pain killers and ibuprofen and acetaminophen made me feel terrible. I did worry that this high use of Aspirin might cause a bigger health problem later on in life. Liver damage maybe. 🤷‍♀️Now later on in life as a senior it doesn’t seem to have caused a problem and I no longer have the headaches either.

This is a very welcome presentation. I wonder how many people who have posted comments on here have actually bothered to listen all the way through! Professor Elwood presented a very balanced view acknowledging the reported concerns that have been disseminated about the negatives of taking aspirin and largely debunks them. As Professor Elwood stated there are a plethora of spurious posts on KZbin with many of the posters claiming to be medically qualified and those that do have genuine medical credentials seem to have some kind of an agenda in promoting their misrepresentation (hello ‘Dr John Campbell’). I wouldn’t want to agree to censorship (within reason - i.e. outright slander or promotion of violence etc) but I do think there needs to be some kind of requirement to provide citation. The ‘my uncle told me about a friend of his who knows someone who had overheard someone on the bus who was talking about an article they had seen ….’ simply will not do. One hopes that most of us are sensible enough and don’t take ‘urban myths’, rumours, ‘Chinese whispers’, gossip etc seriously. Unfortunately, so many of the comments I see here and just about every other post on whatever subject suggests otherwise!! Nevertheless, they do stick and play into all of our fears and this is a very serious matter if it means that potentially beneficial treatments are rejected.
