    you forgot to mention grapeseed extracts. Dr Foltz who helped pioneer aspirin realised it wasnt the be and end all, and went on to research grape extracts, works better and has I found anyway a good effect on RA as well.

  2. I recently was taught by a paramedic in my EMT continuing education that aspirin is not in fact a "blood thinner", but more specifically acts on our bloods platelets making them "slicker on their surface". This slickness helps keep the platelets from catching on build-up in the circulatory system, that can cause heart attack due to lack of blood to and area of the heart, or stroke, due to lack of blood to and area of the brain. This can however, effect the bloods ability to clot as quickly, say in a brain bleeder, or major trauma. Mayo clinic gives a thorough run-down on aspirin. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/daily-aspirin- Thanks natural society.
