Re: Routine Consumption of Aspirin to Prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes "A Big Lie"

 Hv, wouldn't it be a better preventative to take something like DE for silica, or other supplements that strengthen the vascular walls, than to take a blood thinner on an ongoing basis.

Yes, strengthening the blood vessel walls helps to prevent arterial damage, which in turn helps to prevent  arterial plaque formation. Silica is also a mild anti-inflammatory, which is essential for preventing plaque formation.

NSAIDs like aspirin due have a major drawback. They constrict blood vessels, which actually increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Its always been my belief that if you are going to take something to prevent illness, it is better to take something that is going to improve overall health of the body, in all areas, rather than concerntrate on just the symptoms of heart disease.

I agree.
