I got 97.8.

Actually, the most recent research seems to indicate that taking aspirin every day might not be the healthiest thing for elderly people.  Elderly people are more sensitive to gastric disturbances, and the constant intake of aspirin is causing some of them to die of bleeding ulcers before they have the chance to develop heart problems.


This is true.  I have people come into the shop with all sorts of gastrointestinal ailments because they have either been put on an asprin a day or some kind of pharmaceutical anti- inflamatory.  I can help them with the trouble, but it would have been so  much simpler (and better for them) had they come to me first to get a natural blood thinner (as opposed to the asprin) that wouldn't cause stomach upset and difficulties and a natural anti-inflamatory which is stronger than any other on the market yet has no unwanted side effects like they are getting from the ones their doctor is prescribing or they are getting over the counter from a chemist.

It's very frustrating.

it asked if you took low dose Aspirins but really the gen pop don't...anyway it's an internet java script program that probably calculates based on points scales so I wouldn't hold it to it's word...I don't think you can ask for a refund if it's wrong ;D
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

Lots of elderly people in the US are instructed by their physicians to take low-dose aspirin every day. I think it's a bad idea to take any medication every day, unless you already have a medical condition that must be treated with daily medication.  Particulary the elderly, whose livers can't break down toxins as easily as younger people.

Songmistress, aspirin already is a "natural blood thinner." It comes from willow bark. Natural does not always mean good for you.

This is true; I should have been clearer in what I said.  What I should have said was a natural, herbal remedy which doesn't have the side-effects that the aspirin does.  After all most of our medicines today come from plants or some natural form.  Natural doesn't always mean good for you - look at cyanide and arsenic.  In small doses they are helpful (i.e. homeopathy) in large doses they are lethal.  It's all about knowing what to take when and how much.  It's what I am getting training in right now in herbal medicine.

And, yes, here, I have learned to pronounce the silly H in HHHHHHHHerbs! ;D
