Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 The reason aspirin is prophylactic seems to be because it decreases inflammation. A suggestion is to look at your blood chemistry and see the change in inflammation level and decide if it was necessary to take aspirin or not? I read a study recently (I cannot reference it now, sorry, maybe someone else can?); the way to solve the long term liver toxicity problem with aspirin and the bleeding ulcer problem was concurrent Omega 3 consumption. Also, I read that enteric coated aspirin had no salubrious effect save pain relief.
