[@Kk-bq8sw]

Any side effects?

[@willcross5512]

In 2000, at the age of 39, I went to a cardiologist for a routine check-up, and due to family history, I was put on baby aspirin. Now, at 62, I have had zero cardiac events or side effects and am still taking baby aspirin daily despite warnings. Father passed at 57 with his third heart attack; brother, who is one year older, had his first heart attack and stent at 53. Aspirin is the only "medicine" I take, and God willing, it will stay that way. The other things I practice are avoiding stress by adopting a more minimalist lifestyle, less attachments and a realistic understanding what we can control, no smoking, light drinking, intentional movment of the body a few times a week, no margarine, avoiding deep fried foods and vegetable oils, cutting back on processed foods, carbs & sugar, trying to find balance in everything, and avoiding TOXIC people, including family if necessary.

[@jackmcandle6955]

I recently ran out of aspirin and when shopping at the pharmacy to buy more they only sell low dose at $15-20 @ 250ct my last bottle was under $5 for regular dose its almost like big pharma want us on $tatins. I only take it for occasional inflammation and pain and with 😂side benefit of plaque control 1-2 a week.

When I had a heart attack, the paramedics had me chew and swallow 4 low dose aspirins. This stopped my attack in about 20-25 minutes. When I got to the hospital, the doctors didn't believe I had a heart attack but kept me over night as a precaution. Blood tests confirmed the attack.

The blood tests look for troponin, a protein that your heart secretes when it is getting damaged. I carry a little bottle of baby aspirin every where I go, as a precaution for that reason. Doctors tell me that is the first thing the EMTs do for suspected heart attacks.

Recent UK advice is not to use aspirin due to increased risk of stroke. I have been using nattokinase, which is said to have a strong fibrinolyitic (clot busting) effect, without reducing coagulation, unlike warfarin and similar agents.

[@KatarinaGirl]

Yes, and the articles explain for Nattokinase to make sure you take 10,800mgs daily for a year. The key is to take enough of it daily for good results. It actually reverses plaque.

You probably mentioned this but there is research that says aspirin also inhibits homocysteine production (a protein involved in CVD). Another protein C-reactive protein, which is associated with increased risk can be reduced by consuming mushrooms, which also lower triglycerides. One more benefit of Cialis is that it appears to raise HDL. Maybe you've covered this in other videos. Thank you!

[@trainingdragon1964]

Hi Doc and Team. I'm an avid follower and have learned so much from the information you have provided so thank you so much for your ongoing efforts to educate us all AND being interested in always learning as well as more studies come out that could alter our thinking. Ok so here's my question. I have a positive calcium score therefore I have plaque. Last test was 325 +/- and was 3 years ago. Since then I have dramatically improved my life style which has improved my biomarkers in general. I do have moderate risk levels of small LDL particles and Pattern B sadly. I take a low-ish dose statin. I used to take a baby aspirin per my cardiologists recommendation. I developed stomach ulcers which apparently was caused by the baby aspiring. When I stopped taking it, the ulcers healed. So now the question, you tend to recommend baby aspirin if we have plaque (increased risk). Since taking it seems to be an issue for me, do you have a recommendation for me regarding baby aspirin or would it be better to just not take it and keep working on lifestyle/diet and take my statin?? Thanks Doc for any feedback you can offer. Oh, I'm 58 with no history of heart attack or stroke and in general, my health is good.

[@jeanchittum1677]

Hi Doc and team. Love your work so thank you for all that you do. Question about this subject. I'm pushing 60, have known plaque, high CAC 470. I take a statin. I was taking baby aspirin however it was causing stomach ulcers so I had to stop. Short course of prilosec cleared up the ulcers. GI Doc told me best not to take baby aspirin. Since fit the category to have some kind of blood thinner, do you have another suggestion? BTW, I even tried taking baby aspirin every few days since it has a half life of about 5 days but I noticed stomach pains so again I stopped. Since fit the category to have some kind of blood thinner, do you have another suggestion?

Wow what a fabulous explanation you answered many questions I was thinking of asking, my NP put me on 81 mg of asprin I did not take, I excercise and eat kinda good mostly, so I read bad stuff so I decided no to take asprin t, now that I've watched 3 or 4 of your podcasts I started liking what I'm hearing so now that I've got 2 opinions and yes I have plaque in 1 leg which when told scared me , but anyhow I will get asprin tomorrow and start taking, im a runner and im nervous about the plaque thing and if while I'm excercise if something will happen, it's my therapy to run so cross your fingers asprin and 10 milligrams of atvorstatin k2 and healthy eating will stay under control

I have been the proud owner of a hiatal hernia since my mid-20s. When proton pump inhibitors came out I got on them immediately. My quality of life improved dramatically. Turns out I was damned if I didn't take them for fear of Barrett's esophagus disease or cancer as opposed to what the PPI did in the long term. I am 70 years old weigh 165 and I'm 6'1" and my blood pressure is normal, 126/72 pulse 68-72 and I only have one kidney. I have always eaten well and exercised. I had an EKG done that raised the eyebrow of the doctor. She then suggested a Nuclear Stress Test which came back normal. So she suggested a CT scan of the heart which according to her came back functioning normally. I then asked for a CT CAC test. It came back at 1749. I also have small particle LDLs. No shortness of breath, no chest pain and I do not get tired very easily. My current cardiologist said she'snot worried about me (I found another one.) Here is what I learned about PPIs: I learned that PPIs reduce the enzymatic activity of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH). In this way, PPIs increase plasma levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) 4. Because it inhibits the generation of vascular nitric oxide, ADMA would be expected to increase platelet interaction with the vessel wall. In summary, it means that because of the PPIs I was taking it inhibited the production of nitrous oxide in my blood vessels that protect the endothelial lining of the arteries. The PPI and my small lipids aren't doing me any favors. If you know anyone on a PPI, try and get them off of it. Source: research NIH on PPIs

MY EXCENTRIC BLOCKAGE. Is my eccentric blockage caused by a hotspot breaching the arterial wall/liner? The doctor said post angiogram he wouldn't put a stent in there because he thought it might make it worse not better. This was eight years ago, and I was 65% in the clear. I was sitting in the chair waiting for the chem test to start and I was looking at a scope that depicted an eccentric blockage before I received any juice. To this day I can't imagine how this would be. All of this was done before a hip replacement.

Aspirin has many different applications: Aspirin stays in the blood for less than 12 hours, but the effect that it has on platelets (ie anti-clotting, blood thinner) remains for the life time of these platelets, which is around 10 days. But if you are taking Aspirin for pain relief, the effect will go away after 6-8 hours. Aspirin is also an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drug, but not sure about the time line for these.

My doc said don't take it; it thins blood - but then isn't that the prevention? Comment Doc?

[@veasnaphai8]

Can we replace Aspirin with Nattokinase 200 mcg ??. Any answer .

[@PrevMedHealth]

For 80 yo & above, or those with bleeding risk, it probably makes sense.

@@PrevMedHealthwhat about someone who has moderate to severe tinnitus from Meneires will not aspirin cause even worse tinnitus?

[@camarosspr]

81mg is the dose for babies? But what is the required for CVI? 81mg, half 40mg, daily, every other day? Chewable sublingual?

[@sixpackbinky]

Daily

[@bmar916]

It's called Baby Aspirin because it's a 81mg dose vs a regular 325mg dose. It's NOT for babies.

[@alanmadeira-metz1380]

Please explain why aspirin and statins don't work for primary prevention. They both prevent inflammation, aspirin prevents clotting. I don't understand, why the inconsistency? What am I missing?

[@dontfit6380]

Primary prevention should be your diet.

[@alanmadeira-metz1380]

@@dontfit6380 It's very difficult for most people to eat a diet that will prevent insulin resistance, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. There isn't even agreement on what that diet should be. Few people can maintain a low carb diet. Even Dr. Brewer has said he eats ice cream and sweets and he's not giving them up either. And then there is the role of exercise and most people don't get enough. In England, some scientists and doctors recommended that every adult be given statins. I don't recall the starting age. So, back to my question. If statins prevent inflammation and aspirin too and aspirin prevents clotting, why not take them for primary prevention? PS. Taking statins, aspirin and fish oil, all 3, or statins and 1 of the other 2, scares the hell out of most people.

[@dontfit6380]

@@alanmadeira-metz1380 the only reason it’s difficult for most people to eat a low carb diet is because they are lazy. If someone wishes to cheat that is their business and if they are healthy their body should be able to deal with it. I eat to live not live to eat. The doctors in England as with the doctors in the US get a very handsome kickback for prescribing statins. I don’t know about anyone else but the side effects of stains and aspirin out weigh the benefits.

[@alanmadeira-metz1380]

@@dontfit6380 No, you are wrong about people being lazy. I have tried since 1990 to stay on a low-carb diet. I do eat far less carbs than most people and my weight is well-controlled, BMI of 21. Nevertheless, I sometimes crave bread, for example, and give into the craving, even though I know it's not good for me. The low carb diet sets you up for these cravings. Fortunately, I also have more discipline than most people and most bad carbs I won't touch. And BTW, Dr. Brewer has admitted more than once that he eats sweets like ice cream and I suspect he eats a lot more carbs than he is willing to admit. Studies of Atkins' patients in the 1990's found that most went off the low-carb diet within a year. It's just not a satisfying diet for most people. As for statins and aspirin the idea of taking both of them and adding fish oil too is scary. But this is what Dr. Brewer recommends. I'm just making an inference. If he recommends statins and aspirin for secondary prevention, because they work by preventing inflammation, why not recommend them for primary prevention? BTW, Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist who recommends a more stringent diet than Dr. Brewer. I forget the exact amount of carbs, maybe 25 carbs exclusive of fiber. Maybe 40-50 grams with fiber. That is about half of what Dr. Brewer recommends, 100 grams and I have no idea where he gets this number. Dr. Davis is against taking statins.

[@dontfit6380]

@@alanmadeira-metz1380 if you are craving carbs you are either still eating to many carbs, not enough fat or both. I to went low carb in the 90’s with Adkins. I had the same problem. Eventually I’d go back to eating more carbs because I was hungry and lazy. My wife and I and 2 kids 8 and 5 have now been keto/carnivore for 8 years. None of us have any desire for bread or anything with grains and none of us go hungry. I know many people sticking to keto/carnivore. If your eating right its only hard in the beginning. The key is getting the healthy fats with them you won’t have the carb cravings. Now on keto/carnivore I can skip eating for 48 hours without even thinking about eating. When I was eating low carbs I would have chewed my hands off at 8 hours with no food. I don’t necessarily agree with everything Dr. Brewer says he my be right he may be wrong. I just know I wouldn’t recommend any preventative medicine. Only preventative food. I’m definitely going to check out Dr. William Davis. Thanks for the heads up.

Just use it when a stroke threatens. Regular use causes internal bruising.

[@bigglesthwaite]

What dose is baby aspirin?

[@caroletta451]

81mg.

[@gregdiamondmusic]

Can I take K2 M7 with baby aspirin? I have a very high calcium score so I’m on baby aspirin. My cardiologist, however, told me unequivocally not to take K2 because it’s a coagulant. I know that there isn’t any interaction, so if K2 is as effective as it seems to be, I want to be taking it regularly to prevent further calcification and progression of heart disease. I wish there was a consensus in the scientific community!

[@bartrobinson2103]

Your cardiologist is ill informed. He is referring to vitamin k1.

[@peterdanyliw9506]

I would assume that if you were taking K2, you were supplementing D-3 . Because you absolutely need to take those vitamins together, it’s more important I think to know your actual clotting factor with all of this. We have a cookie cutter health care system that does not take that into consideration. The downside of aspirin with bleeding risk including hemorrhagic stroke should be an equal concern.

[@jingwills6267]

My cardiologist said it's ok to take Vit K2 MK7 and I'm taking aspirin. Dr. Susan Brown (on KZbin) said the only medicine not to take MK7 is if you're taking Coumadin.

[@gregdiamondmusic]

@@peterdanyliw9506 and, yes, I was taking K2 with D3. Since I’m on this crazy diet, I’m off of supplements altogether for the time being.

What is the best time to take aspirin?

[@jaymehatfield9540]

It's not about time, it's about HOW. Aspirin is an acid. Dummies who take it on an empty stomach especially a coated one to sit on delicate lining and melt deserve their ulcers. Get noncoated pure ONLY ASPIRIN with no added ingredients. Crush it, and swig it with milk or soup or couple spoons of something like yogurt, or kefir.

[@rayvac7743]

Nattokanase and serrapatase

[@PrevMedHealth]

Yes. Thanks.

[@gailnightowl0423]

[@jameswill175]

[@davidgifford8112]

As primary prevention aspirin users have a 30% increase in cerebral vascular bleeds over placebo (4.7-year study) your advice not to use aspirin for primary prevention is spot on.

[@garrydickie3902]

where can I find this study?

[@Squeeze718]

Sounds like he did advise it though. Did I hear wrong?

[@craiggartman3058]

I take fish oil at bedtime.

[@indesdaryl]

Aspirin will also cause stomach ulcers. Garlic does the same thing without any side effects. Use garlic and don’t do aspirin.

[@irishboy70]

Garlic will not do the same impact as a Baby aspirin, same as Fish oil, it will only marginally impact blood platelet inhibition. If you need to "thin the blood" aspirin or other medicine is required. No safe natural alternative exists.

[@Kees247]

100 mcg k2 mk7 at least 3000IE D3 and 3mg of the right kind of Boron does a lot more then asperin. It even ends tartar on your teeth if you take it for a while.

[@faisal-ca]

Why Aspirin when you have so many other blood thinning options including Omega 3, Bromaliean, Nattokianiase and many more.

[@PrevMedHealth]

There are many options. I have done videos on the group. The evidence tends to favor aspirin, perhaps aided by popularity.

[@tonydebaka3967]

American Heart Association does not recommend taking Aspirin on daily basis for healthy adults. it does not say anything with regard to calcium score. Unless you suffered from a heart attack or have uncontrolled hypertension taking Aspirin is not recommended. According to AHA Aspirin has a 2b recommendation for healthy adults.

[@RC-vv6nr]

You are correct!

[@Corkfish1]

I take a baby aspirin every night before I go to bed instead of a statin. Had a calcium score of 91 and thought it's a good idea.

[@masterchief4868]

you need to take both. Even once a week statin still makes a significant difference. I personally recommend you once a week 4 mg pitavastatin with 200 mg CoQ10 for the muscle soreness.

Doctors and drugs go together like horse and carriage you can't have one without the other sung to the tune of 'married with children' theme song Many things can be done without taking an irritant like aspirin but the pharma people don't make millions. Diet alone can do it but omega 3 supplements help if you don't eat right. Others too like turmeric

[@marcjacobson757]

Would appreciate if you could link to the literature that supports this particular role of Aspirin in secondary prevention. No offense, but trusting a stranger on KZbin without any references to the evidence is not something I consider good practice.

Also, specifically looking for RCTs or meta-analyses versus mechanistic studies.
