My mum was on Aspirin for the longest time, then she was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation, and her doctor insisted she go on Riveroxiban, which I resisted giving her until the doctor insisted or be removed as her patient. So I gave it to her and within just weeks horrible red blotches appeared all over her body, and she died. I don’t believe in Afib as a disease condition, and it justifies the use of toxic patent medication. Just disgraceful malpractice all the way to the cemetery!

They give blood thinners (which is scary even as a concept) and then take away the aspirin and poison their livers with Tylenol.

....just curious.... did the Afib come after vaccination for covid?

I think that’s why my Dad has it.

The Afib was diagnosed before, but the Riveroxiban was started during Covid.

Thanks for the repost! Here is the original: https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/320-tylenol-is-a-pharma-atrocity. 320. TYLENOL IS A PHARMA ATROCITY, AND ASPIRIN IS A SUPPRESSED WONDER DRUG

Robert: i just skimmed your article when it was published but did you have a chance to delve onto the politics of the downgrading of Aspirin. My spidey sense about the timing in the covid period makes me wonder

Neither of you have mentioned Willow Bark... please comment.

Tylenol is one of the great unreported medical scandals in history. Tylenol has also been linked to autism. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5044872/

I kind of wondered if this just wasn't a distraction from the FACT vaccines cause autism! I watched it happen in my grandson! Lesson learned too late unfortunately.

I find making birch and willow tinctures much more effective. Most lab made aspirin has undisclosed ingredients, including caffeine and who knows what. A simple way to go is to put spring birch twigs in vodka and give it a week or two. Instant aspirin. You can get much more exact on dosages in tincture with a recipe online.

IKR? some of that extra stuff is hell on the gut, Iron Oxide! WHY? no one need that bs, they ruin ever good thing. they won't even list some of it. there are separate ingredient lists- that so is shady. and people wonder why i have trust issues.

Thanks for the recipe

I’m near a favorite herb shop

Would love to make a tincture

Thank you jacquelyn, I make herb tinctures with vodka already. Can you please give more details about the recipe? I assume there is a vast varity of birch trees - does that matter? And do they have to be fresh? How many grams of twigs to how much vodka? And how do you dose it for preventive purposes? And is it actually real aspirin? Is that how aspirin is made - from birch twigs? Much appreciated. thank you.

What about the ibuprofens? I don’t use them anymore but take regular uncoated 325 aspirin twice a day. What are the ibuprofen dangers? I’m thinking about the same.

Expand full comment

Same as Aspirin as far as Gastro issues are concerned.

improved by dosing with food?

What brand aspirin is uncoated - I'm only seeing coated at my store.

You can buy powdered aspirin in packets of 825 mg (I think) there are 2 kinds—one has caffeine so don’t get that one if you don’t want caffeine. I’m sure I got one of those in a large Walmart (in a box) I also ordered the tablets on amazon “Health A2Z”. It was 300 tabs for 7.99. There are a couple of others listed. I’m having no problems with them. Aspirin always worked better for me than the other stuff. If I can’t sleep, I take one. It does lower cortisol (why we generally wake up if cortisol rises during the sleep time)) studies have always shown that. Studies in use for cancer and so many conditions.

For pain, Tylenol has never worked for me, didn't do a thing, so I often wondered why it was pushed so much. I did notice a warning to never give Tylenol to children after a vaccine. That was a huge hummm? for me. Then in the 80's it was recalled several times stating package tampering, hummm? Then back on the market with a fury. Go to hospital, leave hospital, soothe a baby, reduce a fever, break a bone, take Tylenol.

The Pharma industry relentlessly pushing a singular pain product doesn't seem suspect to anyone? It did to me. No data to back up my theories, just a gut reaction telling me to stay away from Tylenol. When I fell last year and broke my face it was the aspirin I took right before bed that allowed me to sleep during the night.

Interesting stuff!!

As stated somewhere above aspirin originally derived from the willow now it is a synthesised compound I find it very difficult to swallow that a synthetic made pill has so many benefits. I make a willow tincture and know that it is beneficial for a range of issues. To me the focus is to move people off big pharma and return them to natural healing methods.

I don't doubt they lied about aspirin but people will suffer less if they can find their way into the medicine garden of earth.

yep, they cut of from our birthright. that connection with the healing all around us.

Yet it was the overuse of aspirin that drive the 1918 “Spanish Flu”

Really now. That’s remarkable, when it’s been discussed for years, even in the NYT of all places.

“Aspirin lowers the amount of fibrinogen in the blood, which is thought to prevent the formation of fibrous clots that can close arteries and cause heart attacks.” Are you saying high fibrogen leads to clotting?

Yes

What about Ibuprofen and other NSAID's. Aren't those what have really replaced aspirin?

Expand full comment

Ibuprofen has (each time I’ve taken it) made me feel unwell. Seems to be my body warning me

Expand full comment

I have an aversion to ibuprofen too.

And an outright allergy to voltarol which gave me a nasty reaction.

I wish it was easier to get, without the iron oxide and other harmful fillers. I has 3 pages devoted to salysilic acid from meadow sweet or white willow bark. Love it, plants love it, fish, everything. It is just not as strong as asprin.

I read Dr. Yoho’s article as well and found it very interesting. But I’m currently reading Dr. Mendelson’s book, “Confessions of a Medical Heretic” and he seems to consider aspirin to be toxic. So I’m on the fence about it, especially because it’s mass produced in China or India and sold by pharmaceutical companies. Wish there was more info out there. Anyway, thanks as usual for a good article!

the good dr. is not wrong, but i think it is the additives.
