1Aspirin’s benefits will keep coming up in the future. Any blood thinner / anti-inflammatory will help the body if taken judiciously and with care. Too many people count on prescriptions to solve their problems. They often fail to realize that Many over-the-counter drugs do the same job as prescription drugs
I predict that many of the diabetes meds like Rosiglitasone will begin to crop up as dangers. I’m still confident that the best way to combat ailments is healthy living, exercise, and proper nutrition (however cliche that may sound).
