You Want To Avoid Cancer? Take Aspirin.

[cthulhu_waves]

Oxford University researchers have found some pretty surprising facts about aspirin and cancer. Rothwell had middle-aged study participants take it for three years, and that group dropped their chances of getting cancer by a quarter. Meanwhile, in patients already suffering from cancer, the longer you took it, the more your chances of dying from cancer dropped: 37% over five years, in fact. It also dropped the spread of cancer to other organs by half.

Admittedly, aspirin can attack gut cells, but so what? Your alternative is taking incredibly toxic chemicals and getting blasted with radiation. Of your options, aspirin seems like a pretty good deal.

Aspirin just keeps looking better and better as an anti-cancer drug. Two papers published in The Lancet this week by Peter Rothwell of Oxford University find that the drug not only lowers older people's chance of developing cancer, but also slows the spread of cancer in patients who already have the disease.

The papers add to a growing body of literature on the drug's cancer-fighting ability. We reported last year that patients at high risk for colorectal cancer who took aspirin for two years had a 63 per cent reduction in developing cancer. John Burn of Newcastle University, UK, who led last year's study, speculated that aspirin might play a role in blocking inflammation and weakening the cancer's ability to spread - the new study suggests it may be aspirin's effects on platelets in the blood that slows the spread of cancer.

Rothwell's group found that middle-aged people who took aspirin daily for just three years had about a 25 per cent lower rate of developing cancer. Aspirin seems to be good for people who already have cancer as well, the group reports: cancer patients who took the drug daily for three years had a 15 per cent lower chance of dying from the disease; after five years, these patients were 37 per cent less likely to die than patients who were not on aspirin.

A second Lancet paper published this week by Rothwell's group found that the "wonder drug" could also prevent existing cancer from spreading to other organs. Cancer patients who took daily aspirin for 6.5 years had almost half the chance of their cancer spreading as those who weren't taking the drug.

It's not quite a miracle cure and shouldn't be prescribed to everyone, researchers warn, since it can damage the gut and cause intestinal bleeding. But researchers are trying to blunt those effects; a study earlier this month found that adding nitric oxide and hydrogen sulphide gases to aspirin increased its potency and helped it better target cancer cells while leaving normal gut cells alone.

Incidentally, a low dose (81mg) is enough. Taking a full dose of it (300-500mg) on a daily basis wouldn't be good for the liver.

shut up and eat more vegetables, stop looking for pills to fix everything...

Oh I'm sorry. As someone who is a "lesser" being than you, do read the entire thing before you troll.

nice sig ,LOL

[AsianDivaGirlsWebDude]

I heard recently that if women put an aspirin in between their knees and hold it tightly, that they won't get pregnant.

Aspirin really is a miracle pill...

Aspirin bad for digestive organs though... win some.. lose some i guess haha

[CashGordon]

My uncle eat an aspirin a day since youth and still died from cancer at 55.

[rhon23]

I take a low dose every day. Saved my circulation and blood flow.

Drugs are not a real solution to chronic degenerative disease. If these researchers are right, Aspirin is just a way of trading one illness for another. Aspirin is known to increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, damage the kidneys, cause ulcers, bleeding in the brain etc.

If there was big funding to prove that Broccoli or Coconuts cured/prevented Cancer there would be all kinds of amazing studies coming out.

Common knowledge for a long time.... it started with the lancet report.

Soon theyll deliver a derivative that doesnt harm the stomach lining....

I am allergic to Aspirin

[outkast]

interesting, but one study is not enough
they just need to do more research

Raw cactus...

[bronco67]

Next week, they'll tell you that aspirin causes cancer. That's how these things go usually.

[CaptainHowdy]

I'm allergic to the ones that fear death ...

[porno jew]

have a better source than the lancet? otherwise i remain skeptical.

[PornMD]

Does aspirin help guys get chicks? It seems to do everything else, jeez.

[porno jew]
