In 2000, at the age of 39, I went to a cardiologist for a routine check-up, and due to family history, I was put on baby aspirin. Now, at 62, I have had zero cardiac events or side effects and am still taking baby aspirin daily despite warnings. Father passed at 57 with his third heart attack; brother, who is one year older, had his first heart attack and stent at 53. Aspirin is the only "medicine" I take, and God willing, it will stay that way. The other things I practice are avoiding stress by adopting a more minimalist lifestyle, less attachments and a realistic understanding what we can control, no smoking, light drinking, intentional movment of the body a few times a week, no margarine, avoiding deep fried foods and vegetable oils, cutting back on processed foods, carbs & sugar, trying to find balance in everything, and avoiding TOXIC people, including family if necessary.
I recently ran out of aspirin and when shopping at the pharmacy to buy more they only sell low dose at $15-20 @ 250ct my last bottle was under $5 for regular dose its almost like big pharma want us on $tatins. I only take it for occasional inflammation and pain and with 😂side benefit of plaque control 1-2 a week.
Yes, l would agree with your statin analogy that pharma wants us on them. My doctor has attempted more than once to do so. I feel great and the blood work is all very well in ✅ as l scratch my head.
You've been taking baby aspirin since age 39? I was taking it for a couple years, covid hit and I ran out. I take no Rx, but haven't been to any dr since 2018, not been sick. Have been thinking the aspirin would be good idea, but had wondered about long term. Your comment makes me think it can't hurt. Thanks for your comment.
When I had a heart attack, the paramedics had me chew and swallow 4 low dose aspirins. This stopped my attack in about 20-25 minutes. When I got to the hospital, the doctors didn't believe I had a heart attack but kept me over night as a precaution. Blood tests confirmed the attack.
The blood tests look for troponin, a protein that your heart secretes when it is getting damaged. I carry a little bottle of baby aspirin every where I go, as a precaution for that reason. Doctors tell me that is the first thing the EMTs do for suspected heart attacks.

Recent UK advice is not to use aspirin due to increased risk of stroke. I have been using nattokinase, which is said to have a strong fibrinolyitic (clot busting) effect, without reducing coagulation, unlike warfarin and similar agents.
Yes, and the articles explain for Nattokinase to make sure you take 10,800mgs daily for a year. The key is to take enough of it daily for good results. It actually reverses plaque.
I've been taking 4000fu ( about 9 months) every night before bed, on an empty stomach....notice it lowered my resting heart rate pretty significantly, and blood pressure... 68yrs old feeling good
How does aspirin increase the risk of stroke? Most people who take it do so to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke or heart attack. Hemmorhagic strokes are very rare.
My grandad was fit and healthy all his life and lived to 99 yearS. He took baby asprin for 30 years after his food(This aparently was important. He lived a simple life but was active with gardening, slept well and ate fresh food, but did like the odd whisky and glass if wine. Does taking pills with food, reduce side effects????
Last September, I got 3 stents (after edema and a hospital visit) and was prescribed a baby aspirin and Prasugrel. I also took other natural pills (ginkgo biloba, Vitamin C, D, olive leaf). But I always woke up with a small amount of blood when I blew my nose. I finally stopped the aspirin and the nose bleeds went away. I still take the Prasugrel. I eat healthy (no grains or sugars) but some fruit. I eat Garlic and Onions with Spinach and eggs everyday. I don't have a history of heart attack. The stents were for the "narrowing" (no blockages found).
@@tootalldan5702 I started baby aspirin a month ago and I was getting nosebleeds too. That was when I was taking it in the morning on an empty stomach. I switched to taking the aspirin with dinner and the nosebleeds stopped. I think it has to do with the mass of food sitting in the gut by evening which slows the absorption.
2024...Had a stress treadmill test that was normal...had a heart scan that showed "significant" calcification in heart arteries...Cardiologist changed my statin that I had been on for 21 years and added baby aspirin...He said he wasn't that worried because my stress echo was good....but dang, I been on a statin along time and still have all that calcium....I feel fine though and exercise 6 times a week....60 years old...25 pounds overweight..
is it true that aspirin remains in your system for about 10 days, and therefore you could just take about 1 baby aspirin once weekly rather than daily? this could be important for older people would possibly could have stomach issues also bleeding from aspirins. once weekly could cause less complications.
Aspirin has many different applications: Aspirin stays in the blood for less than 12 hours, but the effect that it has on platelets (ie anti-clotting, blood thinner) remains for the life time of these platelets, which is around 10 days. But if you are taking Aspirin for pain relief, the effect will go away after 6-8 hours. Aspirin is also an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drug, but not sure about the time line for these.
Hi Doc and Team. I'm an avid follower and have learned so much from the information you have provided so thank you so much for your ongoing efforts to educate us all AND being interested in always learning as well as more studies come out that could alter our thinking. Ok so here's my question. I have a positive calcium score therefore I have plaque. Last test was 325 +/- and was 3 years ago. Since then I have dramatically improved my life style which has improved my biomarkers in general. I do have moderate risk levels of small LDL particles and Pattern B sadly. I take a low-ish dose statin. I used to take a baby aspirin per my cardiologists recommendation. I developed stomach ulcers which apparently was caused by the baby aspiring. When I stopped taking it, the ulcers healed. So now the question, you tend to recommend baby aspirin if we have plaque (increased risk). Since taking it seems to be an issue for me, do you have a recommendation for me regarding baby aspirin or would it be better to just not take it and keep working on lifestyle/diet and take my statin?? Thanks Doc for any feedback you can offer. Oh, I'm 58 with no history of heart attack or stroke and in general, my health is good.
Broken hip Told baby aspirin most important pill I am taking. Bleeder in the replacement anterior hip left. BP went down kept me lowered still went up three days later. In rehab just staying sure to get that baby aspirin. Have really progressed well never had anything except positional pain that amazed me too. Bet I beat the record of returning to normal. Said my kidneys were the best number of an 80 treat old they had seen.
Been on around 15 years..........no problems. Always take with food so doesn't hurt stomach. I do have plaque between 50-69% and had deep vein thrombosis before. On aspirin and Pravastatin, also no issues. Grateful to feel healthy.
I have a calcium score of 0 and only a small trace of plaque in carotid artery, but 16 to 49% estimated in abdominal aorta via ultrasound. How is that possible?
My problem is Aspirin causes me a burning stomach. My doctor prescribed proton pump inhibitors to stop the burning. But these pump inhibitors cause havoc on your microbiom and can lead to many other problems ?
I read serveral different explanation on how plaque forms but are they all hypothesis not proved fact? in this vedio, is it also a hypothesis ? or is it a proved fact?..... the more I read , the more I get confused
Good Stuff I've been taking 4000fu ( about 9 months) every night before bed, on an empty stomach....notice it lowered my resting heart rate pretty significantly, and blood pressure... 68yrs old feeling good
Was on candesartan ,bisoprolol,aspirin,and the crestor statin..i would bleed like crazy from a paper cut,my potassium level was elevated and my creatine level was also high,,i quit my beer for a month and the # stayed the same,so i quit the statin and the candesartan and the # are normal,now i am on nothing,should get more blood done now that i have been of everything for a couple months.?
If you’re taking clopidogrel, you’re already on an antiplatelet drug. Don't take 2 without seeing your doctor. That's called DAPT 🎆(Dual Anti Platelet Therapy). Use it only under supervision.
Wow what a fabulous explanation you answered many questions I was thinking of asking, my NP put me on 81 mg of asprin I did not take, I excercise and eat kinda good mostly, so I read bad stuff so I decided no to take asprin t, now that I've watched 3 or 4 of your podcasts I started liking what I'm hearing so now that I've got 2 opinions and yes I have plaque in 1 leg which when told scared me , but anyhow I will get asprin tomorrow and start taking, im a runner and im nervous about the plaque thing and if while I'm excercise if something will happen, it's my therapy to run so cross your fingers asprin and 10 milligrams of atvorstatin k2 and healthy eating will stay under control
You probably mentioned this but there is research that says aspirin also inhibits homocysteine production (a protein involved in CVD). Another protein C-reactive protein, which is associated with increased risk can be reduced by consuming mushrooms, which also lower triglycerides. One more benefit of Cialis is that it appears to raise HDL. Maybe you've covered this in other videos. Thank you!
I often take one alka seltzer tablet in a large room temp glass of filtered water. I find it relaxes me, reduces overall body pain, and it may help my vascular system flow better....
MY EXCENTRIC BLOCKAGE. Is my eccentric blockage caused by a hotspot breaching the arterial wall/liner? The doctor said post angiogram he wouldn't put a stent in there because he thought it might make it worse not better. This was eight years ago, and I was 65% in the clear. I was sitting in the chair waiting for the chem test to start and I was looking at a scope that depicted an eccentric blockage before I received any juice. To this day I can't imagine how this would be. All of this was done before a hip replacement.
Im 51 biologist. I would avoid aspirin for its side effects on the daily bases if possible, using other blood thinning protocols. My go to is hydration, potassium, magnesium, sodium, as the first response
Like several other poeple have asked, I am wondering about nattokinase. I take 2000 FU three times per week. When I donate blood every 2 months, I fill up the bag pretty quick (thinned blood?). My latest blood test showed my myeloperoxidase at 294 pmol/L, with anything under470 listed as low risk, and my Lp-PLA2 at 196 nmol/nmin/mL with anything below225 reduced risk.
Many people who are not professionals in the field try to act like doctors and say things they don't know, saying they take Nattokinase. The amount of Nattokinase recommended to help with the regression of atheromatous plaques varies between studies. However, one specific study found that a daily dose of 10,800 FU (Fibrinolytic Units) of Nattokinase was effective in significantly reducing triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C levels, in addition to increasing HDL-C after 12 months of use. The conversion from Fibrinolytic Units (FU) to milligrams (mg) may vary depending on the specific concentration of the Nattokinase supplement. In general, 1,000 FU of Nattokinase is approximately equivalent to 50 mg. Therefore, 10,800 FU would be approximately 540 mg. 99.9% of Nattokinase sold on the market does not even come close to the minimum dosage necessary to provide what is promised. Therefore, a lot of people talk nonsense, take substances without even knowing how.
@@robertoaguiar7570 Yes, I actually linked to that study in replies to another post, regarding the 10,800 FU daily. Since my post here a year ago I started on 2000 FU daily, and have recently bumped it up to 4000 and now going to 6000, based on that study, as 2000 didn't really seem to have any effect. And yes it helps to look for brands that are 3rd party tested for the amounts they contain.
Please explain why aspirin and statins don't work for primary prevention. They both prevent inflammation, aspirin prevents clotting. I don't understand, why the inconsistency? What am I missing?
@@dontfit6380 It's very difficult for most people to eat a diet that will prevent insulin resistance, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. There isn't even agreement on what that diet should be. Few people can maintain a low carb diet. Even Dr. Brewer has said he eats ice cream and sweets and he's not giving them up either. And then there is the role of exercise and most people don't get enough. In England, some scientists and doctors recommended that every adult be given statins. I don't recall the starting age. So, back to my question. If statins prevent inflammation and aspirin too and aspirin prevents clotting, why not take them for primary prevention? PS. Taking statins, aspirin and fish oil, all 3, or statins and 1 of the other 2, scares the hell out of most people.
@@alanmadeira-metz1380 the only reason it’s difficult for most people to eat a low carb diet is because they are lazy. If someone wishes to cheat that is their business and if they are healthy their body should be able to deal with it. I eat to live not live to eat. The doctors in England as with the doctors in the US get a very handsome kickback for prescribing statins. I don’t know about anyone else but the side effects of stains and aspirin out weigh the benefits.
@@dontfit6380 No, you are wrong about people being lazy. I have tried since 1990 to stay on a low-carb diet. I do eat far less carbs than most people and my weight is well-controlled, BMI of 21. Nevertheless, I sometimes crave bread, for example, and give into the craving, even though I know it's not good for me. The low carb diet sets you up for these cravings. Fortunately, I also have more discipline than most people and most bad carbs I won't touch. And BTW, Dr. Brewer has admitted more than once that he eats sweets like ice cream and I suspect he eats a lot more carbs than he is willing to admit. Studies of Atkins' patients in the 1990's found that most went off the low-carb diet within a year. It's just not a satisfying diet for most people. As for statins and aspirin the idea of taking both of them and adding fish oil too is scary. But this is what Dr. Brewer recommends. I'm just making an inference. If he recommends statins and aspirin for secondary prevention, because they work by preventing inflammation, why not recommend them for primary prevention? BTW, Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist who recommends a more stringent diet than Dr. Brewer. I forget the exact amount of carbs, maybe 25 carbs exclusive of fiber. Maybe 40-50 grams with fiber. That is about half of what Dr. Brewer recommends, 100 grams and I have no idea where he gets this number. Dr. Davis is against taking statins.
@@alanmadeira-metz1380 if you are craving carbs you are either still eating to many carbs, not enough fat or both. I to went low carb in the 90’s with Adkins. I had the same problem. Eventually I’d go back to eating more carbs because I was hungry and lazy. My wife and I and 2 kids 8 and 5 have now been keto/carnivore for 8 years. None of us have any desire for bread or anything with grains and none of us go hungry. I know many people sticking to keto/carnivore. If your eating right its only hard in the beginning. The key is getting the healthy fats with them you won’t have the carb cravings. Now on keto/carnivore I can skip eating for 48 hours without even thinking about eating. When I was eating low carbs I would have chewed my hands off at 8 hours with no food. I don’t necessarily agree with everything Dr. Brewer says he my be right he may be wrong. I just know I wouldn’t recommend any preventative medicine. Only preventative food. I’m definitely going to check out Dr. William Davis. Thanks for the heads up.
A previous study conducted by Lee et al. (Lee et al., 2021) reported that patients with regular use of aspirin had a higher risk of developing AMD (Age related macular degeneration) compared to non-aspirin users. However, another study denied this association (Rim et al., 2019).
My father solved all his problems with aspirin 100mg ❤. Solved is blurred vision, solved his afib. Our cardiologist tried to kill him with xarelto. We never visit a cardiologist anymore.
I am a healthy 75 year old. Recently my scan of arteries in my neck and heart were normal. My cardiologist suggested I take baby aspirin due to my age. I had an ablation 4 years ago and have had no AFIB since then. I have read about the negative effects of taking aspirin, internal bleeding and etc. what are your thoughts? Thanks. GW
Wondering if I still need to take baby aspirin. I was prescribed that, and blood pressure meds over 10 years ago. But 8 years ago I did suffer a clot in my leg that led to a Pulmonary Embolism and a Myocardial Infarction. I recovered, and was also put on a blood thinner, Savaysa (Edoxoban), besides the blood pressure meds and baby aspirin. So, now that I'm taking a blood thinner, should I still be taking baby aspirin, since aspirin is a blood thinner too?🤔
@@sixpackbinkyI had an ischemic stroke and I was prescribed both clopidgrel and 81 mg aspirin. After seeing the neurologist he wasn't sure why I was on both. Oh they also prescribed me a statin but I stopped taking it because it made me feel horrible.
It's not about time, it's about HOW. Aspirin is an acid. Dummies who take it on an empty stomach especially a coated one to sit on delicate lining and melt deserve their ulcers. Get noncoated pure ONLY ASPIRIN with no added ingredients. Crush it, and swig it with milk or soup or couple spoons of something like yogurt, or kefir.

I had a hidden stoke ( incidentaloma on an MRI for something else). Radiologist said it could be a stroke, inflammation or cancer.. I had no symptoms. My PCP wants me to take a baby aspirin. I am also taking 2 grams of fish oil daily. Is it safe to take both?
Both being over the counter doesn’t necessarily mean they are ‘no problem’. Many people experience various symptoms of anti-platelet effects such as nose bleeds, bruising and/or gastrointestinal bleeding on either one alone. Taking them together can exacerbate this. Pay attention to your body and be on watch. Consulting with your doctor might be a good idea.

Can I take K2 M7 with baby aspirin? I have a very high calcium score so I’m on baby aspirin. My cardiologist, however, told me unequivocally not to take K2 because it’s a coagulant. I know that there isn’t any interaction, so if K2 is as effective as it seems to be, I want to be taking it regularly to prevent further calcification and progression of heart disease. I wish there was a consensus in the scientific community!
I would assume that if you were taking K2, you were supplementing D-3 . Because you absolutely need to take those vitamins together, it’s more important I think to know your actual clotting factor with all of this. We have a cookie cutter health care system that does not take that into consideration. The downside of aspirin with bleeding risk including hemorrhagic stroke should be an equal concern.
My cardiologist said it's ok to take Vit K2 MK7 and I'm taking aspirin. Dr. Susan Brown (on TH-cam) said the only medicine not to take MK7 is if you're taking Coumadin.
Thanks for this video. Question….I take 1 aspirin a day, but about to start K2/D3 since CAC shows 41.5 score in one location. Based on this channel and others, I have to stop the aspirin ? This video makes me think I need to continue. Dr., can you offer any hep with my question?

I was taking baby aspirin however it was causing stomach ulcers so I had to stop. Short course of prilosec cleared up the ulcers. GI Doc told me best not to take baby aspirin.

Since fit the category to have some kind of blood thinner, do you have another suggestion?
Hello hello...!🤫 Like aspirin, ginger works as a blood thinner which can prevent the formation of clots that can lead to heart attack or stroke. Ginger also reduces inflammation in the same way as aspirin by blocking COX-2 - the enzyme that promotes inflammation.

As primary prevention aspirin users have a 30% increase in cerebral vascular bleeds over placebo (4.7-year study) your advice not to use aspirin for primary prevention is spot on.

Unless you suffered from a heart attack or have uncontrolled hypertension taking Aspirin is not recommended. According to AHA Aspirin has a 2b recommendation for healthy adults.

is it true that aspirin remains in your system for about 10 days, and therefore you could just take about 1 baby aspirin once weekly rather than daily? this could be important for older people would possibly could have stomach issues also bleeding from aspirins. once weekly could cause less complications.
Aspirin has many different applications: Aspirin stays in the blood for less than 12 hours, but the effect that it has on platelets (ie anti-clotting, blood thinner) remains for the life time of these platelets, which is around 10 days. But if you are taking Aspirin for pain relief, the effect will go away after 6-8 hours. Aspirin is also an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drug, but not sure about the time line for these.
3 days
I had cardio scan 1450 cricket score the Cardiologist stated. Stress test came back very fit, I’m 67 been advised to take aspirin and statins.
As we age, many of us take a few aspirin each week for common aches/pain. The anti-platelet effect lingers.
It lingers four days more or less, if my doctor remembers correctly.
@@AsusMemopad-us5lk ~ I have read the same 👍
I read a pubmed article/study that showed every other day aspirin has the same anti-clotting effect as taking it daily.
How about weekly dose? So lingering for 4 days, then resting for 3, and back on for one day, rinse and repeat.
Hi Doc and Team. I'm an avid follower and have learned so much from the information you have provided so thank you so much for your ongoing efforts to educate us all AND being interested in always learning as well as more studies come out that could alter our thinking. Ok so here's my question. I have a positive calcium score therefore I have plaque. Last test was 325 +/- and was 3 years ago. Since then I have dramatically improved my life style which has improved my biomarkers in general. I do have moderate risk levels of small LDL particles and Pattern B sadly. I take a low-ish dose statin. I used to take a baby aspirin per my cardiologists recommendation. I developed stomach ulcers which apparently was caused by the baby aspiring. When I stopped taking it, the ulcers healed. So now the question, you tend to recommend baby aspirin if we have plaque (increased risk). Since taking it seems to be an issue for me, do you have a recommendation for me regarding baby aspirin or would it be better to just not take it and keep working on lifestyle/diet and take my statin?? Thanks Doc for any feedback you can offer. Oh, I'm 58 with no history of heart attack or stroke and in general, my health is good.
Have you considered taking chewable baby aspirin...would be dissolved before it hits your stomach
Do you take any aspirin now?
Your videos started me on low dose aspirins.
Fantastic talk much appreciated
Broken hip Told baby aspirin most important pill I am taking. Bleeder in the replacement anterior hip left. BP went down kept me lowered still went up three days later. In rehab just staying sure to get that baby aspirin. Have really progressed well never had anything except positional pain that amazed me too. Bet I beat the record of returning to normal. Said my kidneys were the best number of an 80 treat old they had seen.
Been on around 15 years..........no problems. Always take with food so doesn't hurt stomach. I do have plaque between 50-69% and had deep vein thrombosis before. On aspirin and Pravastatin, also no issues. Grateful to feel healthy.
I've been taking aspirin (320 mg/day) for over 45 years now. No issues.
👌
320mg? I thought it was baby aspirin we're advised to take?
@Ladynipchick2 100 gram dosage gives the same results as full strength .. people who think taking more must be better don't know
and im worried about taking 100mg coated , do u drink alcohol
Ty, for great the info, and I started taking aspirins again.
Can serratio peptidase help?
I have a calcium score of 0 and only a small trace of plaque in carotid artery, but 16 to 49% estimated in abdominal aorta via ultrasound. How is that possible?
My problem is Aspirin causes me a burning stomach. My doctor prescribed proton pump inhibitors to stop the burning. But these pump inhibitors cause havoc on your microbiom and can lead to many other problems ?
Have you tried enteric coated Bayer Aspirin?
Take probiotic
PPIs can also play havoc with your cardiovascular system and nitric oxide production . Those things are awful to take
Thank you for the information!
I read serveral different explanation on how plaque forms but are they all hypothesis not proved fact? in this vedio, is it also a hypothesis ? or is it a proved fact?..... the more I read , the more I get confused

Can you take a baby aspirin if you are taking nattokinase?
What do you think of nattokinase?
Good Stuff
I've been taking 4000fu ( about 9 months) every night before bed, on an empty stomach....notice it lowered my resting heart rate pretty significantly, and blood pressure...
68yrs old feeling good
Look into lumbrokinase. That is more powerful. I noticed a big difference after switching from natokinase to lumbrokinase. It greatly reduced angina!
Was on candesartan ,bisoprolol,aspirin,and the crestor statin..i would bleed like crazy from a paper cut,my potassium level was elevated and my creatine level was also high,,i quit my beer for a month and the # stayed the same,so i quit the statin and the candesartan and the # are normal,now i am on nothing,should get more blood done now that i have been of everything for a couple months.?
I am already taking clopidogrel (antiplatelet). would taking aspirin be of no use?
If you’re taking clopidogrel, you’re already on an antiplatelet drug. Don't take 2 without seeing your doctor. That's called DAPT 🎆(Dual Anti Platelet Therapy). Use it only under supervision.
Wow what a fabulous explanation you answered many questions I was thinking of asking, my NP put me on 81 mg of asprin I did not take, I excercise and eat kinda good mostly, so I read bad stuff so I decided no to take asprin t, now that I've watched 3 or 4 of your podcasts I started liking what I'm hearing so now that I've got 2 opinions and yes I have plaque in 1 leg which when told scared me , but anyhow I will get asprin tomorrow and start taking, im a runner and im nervous about the plaque thing and if while I'm excercise if something will happen, it's my therapy to run so cross your fingers asprin and 10 milligrams of atvorstatin k2 and healthy eating will stay under control
You probably mentioned this but there is research that says aspirin also inhibits homocysteine production (a protein involved in CVD). Another protein C-reactive protein, which is associated with increased risk can be reduced by consuming mushrooms, which also lower triglycerides. One more benefit of Cialis is that it appears to raise HDL. Maybe you've covered this in other videos. Thank you!
I often take one alka seltzer tablet in a large room temp glass of filtered water. I find it relaxes me, reduces overall body pain, and it may help my vascular system flow better....
MY EXCENTRIC BLOCKAGE. Is my eccentric blockage caused by a hotspot breaching the arterial wall/liner? The doctor said post angiogram he wouldn't put a stent in there because he thought it might make it worse not better. This was eight years ago, and I was 65% in the clear. I was sitting in the chair waiting for the chem test to start and I was looking at a scope that depicted an eccentric blockage before I received any juice. To this day I can't imagine how this would be. All of this was done before a hip replacement.
Im 51 biologist. I would avoid aspirin for its side effects on the daily bases if possible, using other blood thinning protocols. My go to is hydration, potassium, magnesium, sodium, as the first response
If you have low inflammation markers, why do you have to take aspirin?
Like several other poeple have asked, I am wondering about nattokinase. I take 2000 FU three times per week. When I donate blood every 2 months, I fill up the bag pretty quick (thinned blood?). My latest blood test showed my myeloperoxidase at 294 pmol/L, with anything under470 listed as low risk, and my Lp-PLA2 at 196 nmol/nmin/mL with anything below225 reduced risk.
@@Liz-cq6ny Yes, I take nattokinase on its own.
Many people who are not professionals in the field try to act like doctors and say things they don't know, saying they take Nattokinase.
The amount of Nattokinase recommended to help with the regression of atheromatous plaques varies between studies. However, one specific study found that a daily dose of 10,800 FU (Fibrinolytic Units) of Nattokinase was effective in significantly reducing triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C levels, in addition to increasing HDL-C after 12 months of use.
The conversion from Fibrinolytic Units (FU) to milligrams (mg) may vary depending on the specific concentration of the Nattokinase supplement. In general, 1,000 FU of Nattokinase is approximately equivalent to 50 mg. Therefore, 10,800 FU would be approximately 540 mg.
99.9% of Nattokinase sold on the market does not even come close to the minimum dosage necessary to provide what is promised. Therefore, a lot of people talk nonsense, take substances without even knowing how.
@@robertoaguiar7570 Yes, I actually linked to that study in replies to another post, regarding the 10,800 FU daily. Since my post here a year ago I started on 2000 FU daily, and have recently bumped it up to 4000 and now going to 6000, based on that study, as 2000 didn't really seem to have any effect. And yes it helps to look for brands that are 3rd party tested for the amounts they contain.
Please tell me if aspirin or clopidogrel work the same way
Please explain why aspirin and statins don't work for primary prevention. They both prevent inflammation, aspirin prevents clotting. I don't understand, why the inconsistency? What am I missing?
Primary prevention should be your diet.
@@dontfit6380 It's very difficult for most people to eat a diet that will prevent insulin resistance, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. There isn't even agreement on what that diet should be. Few people can maintain a low carb diet. Even Dr. Brewer has said he eats ice cream and sweets and he's not giving them up either. And then there is the role of exercise and most people don't get enough.
In England, some scientists and doctors recommended that every adult be given statins. I don't recall the starting age. So, back to my question. If statins prevent inflammation and aspirin too and aspirin prevents clotting, why not take them for primary prevention? PS. Taking statins, aspirin and fish oil, all 3, or statins and 1 of the other 2, scares the hell out of most people.
@@alanmadeira-metz1380 the only reason it’s difficult for most people to eat a low carb diet is because they are lazy. If someone wishes to cheat that is their business and if they are healthy their body should be able to deal with it. I eat to live not live to eat. The doctors in England as with the doctors in the US get a very handsome kickback for prescribing statins. I don’t know about anyone else but the side effects of stains and aspirin out weigh the benefits.
@@dontfit6380 No, you are wrong about people being lazy. I have tried since 1990 to stay on a low-carb diet. I do eat far less carbs than most people and my weight is well-controlled, BMI of 21. Nevertheless, I sometimes crave bread, for example, and give into the craving, even though I know it's not good for me.
The low carb diet sets you up for these cravings. Fortunately, I also have more discipline than most people and most bad carbs I won't touch. And BTW, Dr. Brewer has admitted more than once that he eats sweets like ice cream and I suspect he eats a lot more carbs than he is willing to admit.
Studies of Atkins' patients in the 1990's found that most went off the low-carb diet within a year. It's just not a satisfying diet for most people.
As for statins and aspirin the idea of taking both of them and adding fish oil too is scary. But this is what Dr. Brewer recommends. I'm just making an inference. If he recommends statins and aspirin for secondary prevention, because they work by preventing inflammation, why not recommend them for primary prevention? BTW, Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist who recommends a more stringent diet than Dr. Brewer. I forget the exact amount of carbs, maybe 25 carbs exclusive of fiber. Maybe 40-50 grams with fiber. That is about half of what Dr. Brewer recommends, 100 grams and I have no idea where he gets this number. Dr. Davis is against taking statins.
@@alanmadeira-metz1380 if you are craving carbs you are either still eating to many carbs, not enough fat or both. I to went low carb in the 90’s with Adkins. I had the same problem. Eventually I’d go back to eating more carbs because I was hungry and lazy. My wife and I and 2 kids 8 and 5 have now been keto/carnivore for 8 years. None of us have any desire for bread or anything with grains and none of us go hungry. I know many people sticking to keto/carnivore. If your eating right its only hard in the beginning. The key is getting the healthy fats with them you won’t have the carb cravings. Now on keto/carnivore I can skip eating for 48 hours without even thinking about eating. When I was eating low carbs I would have chewed my hands off at 8 hours with no food. I don’t necessarily agree with everything Dr. Brewer says he my be right he may be wrong. I just know I wouldn’t recommend any preventative medicine. Only preventative food. I’m definitely going to check out Dr. William Davis. Thanks for the heads up.
A previous study conducted by Lee et al. (Lee et al., 2021) reported that patients with regular use of aspirin had a higher risk of developing AMD (Age related macular degeneration) compared to non-aspirin users. However, another study denied this association (Rim et al., 2019).
Dr Ken Berry aspirin
Thank you so much.
I had atrial fibrillation, but then I had ablation, so now I don't have it. I'm using baby aspirin now. Is that ok?
Many docs (especially the ones that do the procedures) say stop. I’d want to confirm that I’m not having “silent runs of Afib” in my sleep first.
Garlic is a Safe blood thinner without the side effects of aspirin. Like holes in stomach , colon, intestines..
If you're in that bad a shape that an 81 milligram aspirin is giving you those side effects you're not long for this world
My thoughts exactly buddy, why did he not mention that, in the past, I've had ulcers Aspiren is definitely not good for me.
How many cloves of garlic do I have to munch every day to achieve the same blood thinning as one baby aspirin?
I think Nattokinase and lumbrokinase are also blood thinner.
Kyolic aged garlic is the best
What about if you have heart disease can I take aspirin?
My father solved all his problems with aspirin 100mg ❤. Solved is blurred vision, solved his afib. Our cardiologist tried to kill him with xarelto. We never visit a cardiologist anymore.
My goal is to never see a doctor ever. Doctors and hospitals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US (JAMA).
I am a healthy 75 year old. Recently my scan of arteries in my neck and heart were normal. My cardiologist suggested I take baby aspirin due to my age. I had an ablation 4 years ago and have had no AFIB since then. I have read about the negative effects of taking aspirin, internal bleeding and etc. what are your thoughts? Thanks. GW
I had an aortic valve replacement and on coumadin should I use aspirin?
thats a doctor question please
Wondering if I still need to take baby aspirin. I was prescribed that, and blood pressure meds over 10 years ago. But 8 years ago I did suffer a clot in my leg that led to a Pulmonary Embolism and a Myocardial Infarction. I recovered, and was also put on a blood thinner, Savaysa (Edoxoban), besides the blood pressure meds and baby aspirin. So, now that I'm taking a blood thinner, should I still be taking baby aspirin, since aspirin is a blood thinner too?🤔
Ask your doctor
You are not supposed to take aspirin and blood thinners together
@@sixpackbinkyI had an ischemic stroke and I was prescribed both clopidgrel and 81 mg aspirin. After seeing the neurologist he wasn't sure why I was on both. Oh they also prescribed me a statin but I stopped taking it because it made me feel horrible.
No, absolutely no, do not take baby aspirin if you are taking a blood thinner…
What is the best time to take aspirin?
It's not about time, it's about HOW. Aspirin is an acid. Dummies who take it on an empty stomach especially a coated one to sit on delicate lining and melt deserve their ulcers. Get noncoated pure ONLY ASPIRIN with no added ingredients. Crush it, and swig it with milk or soup or couple spoons of something like yogurt, or kefir.
im 32, i will start taking baby aspirin now for the benefits

I had a hidden stoke ( incidentaloma on an MRI for something else). Radiologist said it could be a stroke, inflammation or cancer.. I had no symptoms. My PCP wants me to take a baby aspirin. I am also taking 2 grams of fish oil daily. Is it safe to take both?
They are both over the counter
No problems
Both being over the counter doesn’t necessarily mean they are ‘no problem’. Many people experience various symptoms of anti-platelet effects such as nose bleeds, bruising and/or gastrointestinal bleeding on either one alone. Taking them together can exacerbate this.
Pay attention to your body and be on watch. Consulting with your doctor might be a good idea.
@@tomrobertson3236 The idea of taking both scares me. Increased risk of bleeding to prevent something that might never happen.
Aspirin does not treat cancer
@@michaelmelamed9103 no its a blood thinner
What about Nattokinase???
Is an enzyme found naturally in Natto, a Japanese fermented soybean food associated with the bacterium Bacillus subtili, traditional to Japan. It has the ability to improve coagulation processes and facilitate blood flow, helping in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.

Can I take K2 M7 with baby aspirin? I have a very high calcium score so I’m on baby aspirin. My cardiologist, however, told me unequivocally not to take K2 because it’s a coagulant. I know that there isn’t any interaction, so if K2 is as effective as it seems to be, I want to be taking it regularly to prevent further calcification and progression of heart disease. I wish there was a consensus in the scientific community!
Your cardiologist is ill informed. He is referring to vitamin k1.
I would assume that if you were taking K2, you were supplementing D-3 . Because you absolutely need to take those vitamins together, it’s more important I think to know your actual clotting factor with all of this. We have a cookie cutter health care system that does not take that into consideration. The downside of aspirin with bleeding risk including hemorrhagic stroke should be an equal concern.
My cardiologist said it's ok to take Vit K2 MK7 and I'm taking aspirin. Dr. Susan Brown (on TH-cam) said the only medicine not to take MK7 is if you're taking Coumadin.

Hello hello...!🤫 Like aspirin, ginger works as a blood thinner which can prevent the formation of clots that can lead to heart attack or stroke. Ginger also reduces inflammation in the same way as aspirin by blocking COX-2 - the enzyme that promotes inflammation.

Why Aspirin when you have so many other blood thinning options including Omega 3, Bromaliean, Nattokianiase and many more.
There are many options. I have done videos on the group. The evidence tends to favor aspirin, perhaps aided by popularity.
American Heart Association does not recommend taking Aspirin on daily basis for healthy adults. it does not say anything with regard to calcium score. Unless you suffered from a heart attack or have uncontrolled hypertension taking Aspirin is not recommended. According to AHA Aspirin has a 2b recommendation for healthy adults.
