Aspirin study at Harvard Med school
« on: February 01, 2014, 11:51:16 am »
HI everyone,
Have you seen this? It is a new study out of Harvard medical school involving aspirin in stopping the growth of ANs.
What do you think? I wonder how much aspirin it takes? It sounds pretty darn hopeful to me!

Hi,

I was curious as well so I did more research.. Have a read here:

The Dr thinks that the results are not good enough to start recommending aspirin intake, so no luck here :(

Doctors start recommending daily aspirin when people are in there 50s or 60s to reduce the chance of heart disease, especially if there is a family history of heart disease.

I've been taking the low dose aspirin since 2006 when I was 60 and I was diagnosed with AN in 2012.

I've also read that taking ibuprofen regularly may prevent Alzheimer's. I take ibuprofen regularly for a little arthritis pain.

Uh, where am I?

I know, terrible joke. Couldn't help myself.
