Did 1918 Spanish Flu Deaths Result From Aspirin-Induced Vitamin C Deficiency?

"Aspirin reduces the bodies absorption of vitamin C by about 50%."  Prevention

“If you give aspirin to everyone, you don’t save any lives at all, the lives you save by preventing heart attacks and strokes are offset by the lives you lose from bleeding.”  Doctor Robert Bonow, head of the American Heart Association 2003

“If you are aspirin-resistant and embark on the aspirin a day therapy you are 4 times likelier to die than your aspirin-sensitive counterparts and twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke. This means that “preventive” aspirin use has actually caused hundreds of thousands of heart attacks and strokes.” Doctor David G. Williams

“You have a headache. Solution, programmed every five minutes on TV: Tylenol, Advil, whatever, that will do what? That's right: take the pain away. But wait - the pain wasn't the cause of the problem. The headache had a reason; it was a sign of something else. Neck spasm, intoxication, emotional stress, sinus allergies, trauma, spine misalignment, drugs, chemical sensitivity, overwork, dehydration, hunger - the pain can come from many sources. The pill didn't solve anything, didn't cure anything. Soon as it wears off, guess what? Right - the pain returns. So then what are we taught to do? More pills.”  The Doctor Within

"I believe that today combating this clot forming tendency has become essential for long-term survival for the majority of patients. I consider aspirin to be totally inadequate and the benefit-risk ratio causes me to not bother using it." Doctor Gary Gordon MD

“Ginger inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation by two methods; it acts as a potent inhibitor of thrombi and has twice the anti-platelet power as aspirin.” Life Extension

"I've never been a fan of using daily doses of drugs to prevent disease. Especially when there are safe, natural alternatives. And this new information about aspirin confirms my beliefs. A new Scottish study reveals that aspirin has no effect on preventing strokes, coronary and vascular events. Even worse, daily aspirin use increases internal bleeding. In other words, taking aspirin daily won’t save you from a heart attack.” Doctor Al Sears MD

"There is incontrovertible evidence that a shortage of vitamin C, emanating from poor diet, smoking, overuse of alcohol, aspirin, or vitamin-depleting drugs (the very drugs they treat flu patients with – steroids, antibiotics, etc.), is likely the primary cause of flu-related mortality.”  Bill Sardi Health Researcher, Note dehydration and low vitamin D and selenium  levels can do you in also

"Aspirin depletes the body of vitamin C. Aspirin is known as one of the most powerful drugs at depleting vitamin C in normally healthy individuals."      [Journal Clinical Pharmacology 1973; 13: 480]

"The descriptions of flu-related, aspirin-induced lung disease by Doctor Starko are gripping. She cites records of doctors describing aspirin lung as looking like "the lungs of the drowned." There were small hemorrhages in the lungs which appeared "dark and red and wet, dripping wet."  Bill Sardi Health Researcher, Note please read this insightful article  the knowledge will serve you well in 2009 - 2012

"Men who regularly take over-the-counter painkillers are twice as likely to suffer hearing problems than those who don’t. Taking paracetamol at least twice a week doubles the risk of mild to severe deafness before the age of 50. Other painkillers, including aspirin and ibuprofen, are also linked to hearing loss, the American researchers found. The findings have not shown that painkillers directly cause deafness, but the scientists say they add to the evidence of a connection between the two."   Painkillers ‘double risk of deafness’ for men, Note IMO the deafness issue is merely a marker for LOADS of other, unseen problems

"A University of Maryland Medical Center study showed blood platelet clumping, which can lead to heart attacks was noted in 64% of daily aspirin takers whose blood LDL was over 130."   Doctor William Douglass MD, Note a LDL of 130 is perfectly healthy the problem  is the toxic aspirin

"Aspirin has been linked to lung complications including pulmonary edema, an abnormal build up of fluid in your lungs, when taken in excess.”   Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

   

Every time you take a regular size aspirin, or other NSAID, you lose a teaspoon to a tablespoon of blood. You lose this blood from either your stomach, small intestine, brain and perhaps anywhere in your body, all is bad. When you lose the blood from your small intestine the aspirin burns small holes in your intestine wall allowing undigested food into your blood (See Leaky Gut Protocol). This may contribute to several autoimmune type diseases, allergy, asthma and other serious problems. The eye problems occurring from men taking their “daily” aspirin to avoid cardiovascular disease (See Cardiovascular Disease Protection Protocol) is a hidden health scandal that will break someday. Aspirin’s proven side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding and upset, stroke, vomiting, ulcers, cataract formation, macular degeneration, pancreatic cancer, wheezing, nausea, rash, allergic reactions and hives.

        

     

The Great Aspirin Con

“Four early studies using aspirin to prevent heart attacks had shown no benefit. Then along came a study on U.S. physicians, which used Bufferin (aspirin and magnesium). This study showed no reduction in fatal heart attacks and no improvement in survival rate but there was a 40 % decrease in the number of non fatal heart attacks. The magnesium was ignored and there was a prompt extensive institution of aspirin for prevention of heart attacks. The benefits of magnesium in treating heart disease include the well known decrease in ischemic heart disease and sudden death found in communities drinking hard water (magnesium containing), powerful prevention of platelet clumping (clot prevention) known to be caused by magnesium, strong blood vessel dilating properties of magnesium, and effective action to block dangerous heart rhythms in persons taking magnesium. The decrease in number of heart attacks probably resulted from the magnesium in Bufferin.”  Magnesium for Life Mark Sircus

“The flavonols in cocoa stimulate your body's production of nitric oxide—boosting blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. Cocoa thins your blood just as well as low-dose aspirin!”     Harvard University

There you have it folks a "daily aspirin" does not and NEVER has had a positive effect on your cardiovascular health. It is all just one big CON. In fact if you look at the paragraph below aspirin may have the exact opposite effect on your poor heart.  Does anyone tell you  to take your "daily magnesium"? I will, take your daily magnesium leave the aspirin in the trash.

  

Aspirin Causes BLEEDING

"The truth is, aspirin can cause bleeding in the stomach and brain. And that's not the only way this supposed painkiller can kill you... because aspirin can actually cause potentially deadly blood clots. Roughly half of all people who suffer a fatal heart attack took an aspirin that day.”   Doctor William Douglass MD

"Look, I don't care if you're diabetic, apathetic or telekinetic -- no one should be taking daily doses of aspirin. This is a powerful and dangerous med that can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding and even bleeding in your brain -- putting you at risk for a hemorrhagic stroke.”   Doctor William Douglass MD

“If you give aspirin to everyone, you don’t save any lives at all, the lives you save by preventing heart attacks and strokes are offset by the lives you lose from bleeding.”  Doctor Robert Bonow, head of the American Heart Association 2003

These are blockbuster quotes. We have long known the "aspirin a day" was killing SOME of the poor men suckered into it but this is something else. Aspirin and ALL NSAIDS are  proven to cause bleeding in the stomach and small intestine. To find it may also be causing bleeding in the BRAIN is a blockbuster. Where else is it causing bleeding?

This is very new to me but the possible mechanism appears clear, aspirin may be dislodging the soft arterial plaque which causes the arterial blockage and the heart attack. Probabilistically it can be nothing else. Again I am guessing but it is a good guess and since aspirin has NO benefits that cannot be achieved with salubrious substances if you totally forgo the aspirin you have nothing to lose and perhaps MUCH to gain. Every time you take a regular size aspirin, or other NSAID, you lose a teaspoon to a tablespoon of blood.

As we see below aspirin drastically depletes the vitamin C from your body. This will drastically weaken your arteries as well as MANY body structures as it (impedes your collagen production). This is a very important reason to avoid this poison. As we know a lack of vitamin C leads directly to arterial plaque which leads to CVD. Aspirin helps your heart; give me a break!

           

Aspirin Depletes Vitamin C

"There is incontrovertible evidence that a shortage of vitamin C, emanating from poor diet, smoking, overuse of alcohol, aspirin, or vitamin-depleting drugs (the very drugs they treat flu patients with – steroids, antibiotics, etc.), is likely the primary cause of flu-related mortality.”  Bill Sardi Health Researcher, Note dehydration and low vitamin D and selenium  levels can do you in also

"Aspirin depletes the body of vitamin C. Aspirin is known as one of the most powerful drugs at depleting vitamin C in normally healthy individuals."      [Journal Clinical Pharmacology 1973; 13: 480]

"Aspirin reduces the bodies absorption of vitamin C by about 50%."  Prevention

Aspirin drastically depletes the vitamin C from your body. This leaves you at risk for many serious problems to include CVD, bleeding and others.

Most people are carrying much less than optimal levels of vitamin C to begin with and cannot afford to lose ANY vitamin C. This will drastically weaken your arteries as well as MANY body structures as it (impedes your collagen production). The man made Acetylsalicylic acid will burn holes in tissue; your body must repair these holes using VITAMIN C; but aspirin depletes vitamin C so the repair often cannot be expeditiously and correctly done. Just one more reason to avoid this poison.

   

Atherosclerosis, Artery Blockage and Aspirin

"Aspirin can actually cause potentially deadly blood clots. Roughly half of all people who suffer a fatal heart attack took an aspirin that day.”   Doctor William Douglass MD

“If you are aspirin-resistant and embark on the aspirin a day therapy you are 4 times likelier to die than your aspirin-sensitive counterparts and twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke. This means that “preventive” aspirin use has actually caused hundreds of thousands of heart attacks and strokes.” Doctor David G. Williams

“If you give aspirin to everyone, you don’t save any lives at all, the lives you save by preventing heart attacks and strokes are offset by the lives you lose from bleeding.”  Doctor Robert Bonow, head of the American Heart Association 2003

IMO this may very well be the aspirin dislodging the vulnerable plaque which leads to a heart attack or stroke.

     

Aspirin is NOT a good Blood Thinning Agent

"A University of Maryland Medical Center study showed blood platelet clumping, which can lead to heart attacks was noted in 64% of daily aspirin takers whose blood LDL was over 130."  

“If you are aspirin-resistant and embark on the aspirin a day therapy you are 4 times likelier to die than your aspirin-sensitive counterparts and twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke. This means that “preventive” aspirin use has actually caused hundreds of thousands of heart attacks and strokes.” Doctor David G. Williams

“The flavonols in cocoa stimulate your body's production of nitric oxide—boosting blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. Cocoa thins your blood just as well as low-dose aspirin!”     Harvard University

These Substances can help your blood to flow freer (See Blood Coagulation Assess )

The two features of aspirin that are promoted as healthful are blood platelet de-aggregation See Blood Coagulation Protocol and decreasing Inflammation both of these can be better accomplished by the healthful means referenced in these protocols.

There are literally dozens and dozens of salubrious foods and agents that can safely accomplish the blood conditioning function we all need to perform.  Aspirin is a toxin, IMO do not use it for ANYTHING unless a doctor you trust recommends it for IMO an acute need.

     

Aspirin can Cause Headaches

I used to get frequent headaches, often three a day. I would take two aspirin for the pain mostly because I had been propagandized to believe “Aspirin was good for you”. Once I switched to Feverfew (See Feverfew Protocol) my headaches dropped to a one or less a week. My headaches had been rebound headaches CAUSED by using aspirin. I have not taken a single aspirin in over thirty years. The only way I would take aspirin was if I were under the care of an Integrative Doctor and he explained how the aspirin would help and why there were no HEALTHY Pain alternatives.

     

Do not use Aspirin for the Flu or other Viruses

Caution: do NOT use aspirin or any other fever relieving substance if you have the flu See Virus Fighting Protocol. For healthy alternatives to aspirin for Pain.  IMO aspirin is almost always a poor choice for most of us.

OTOH if you are in the woods and have a headache you can chew the leaves or twigs of any of the Birch Family of trees. Eating the natural salicin in birch instead of the man made poison acetylsalicylic acid in aspirin together with the bioflavonoids and other good things in the tree may safely relieve your headache; at least it does for me. 

              

Here are just a few of Aspirin's clinically-proven dangers                                                         

Note the synergistic problems caused by depleting vitamin C and bleeding

• Allergy
• Asthma
• Auto immune Problems  from small intestine bleeding
• Bleeding Anywhere in Body
• Brain Bleeding
• Cataracts
• Depletes Vitamin C this promotes bleeding everywhere
• Gastrointestinal bleeding
• Headaches      
• Kidney failure
• Leaky Gut
• Macular degeneration bleeding Wet AMD
• Major abdominal bleeding
• Pancreatic cancer
• Stroke bleeding Hemmorhagic Stroke
• Ulcers bleeding

     

History of Aspirin and Drugs

“The Bayer Corporation launched a series of advertisements which claimed that a regular aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) regimen prevents heart attacks and strokes in the general adult population. The Federal Trade Commission pointed out that these claims were unsubstantiated and that daily doses of aspirin may be harmful to some adults. The Bayer Corporation launched a $1 million consumer education campaign to settle FTC charges. In addition to this new campaign, the settlement requires that any Bayer advertising making claims about the benefits of regular aspirin use for prevention of heart attacks or strokes contain a disclosure that states, "Aspirin is not appropriate for everyone, so be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen."[250]”   Aspirin and False Advertising

Incidentally this difference between the natural substance salicin found in the birch family of trees and the man made toxic drug acetylsalicylic acid illustrates the problem with drugs. Aspirin is the first modern drug and was necessary because the natural salicin which had proved to relieve headaches for centuries was not able to be patented. You are not allowed to patent natural substances; not yet CODEX (See CODEX Protocol) is attempting to change this.

Acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4) does NOT occur in nature it is a CHEMICAL created by man. Acetylsalicylic acid was created to closely resemble salicin (C13H18O7). However your body sees acetylsalicylic acid as a foreign toxic substance and begins to eliminate it the second you ingest it. You can buy the natural salicin today in the herb white willow (See White Willow Protocol).

     

Conclusion

So there is your choice a natural substance your body has lived with and adapted to over millions of years or a newly created man made substance your body sees as poison and eliminates as quickly as it can.
