RE: Health Warning. Some Painkillers Can Maim or KILL You! Are There Effective Natural Alternatives to Aspirin?
Great article, a few years ago I saw Dr. Oz urging people to start taking a baby aspirin daily. So many people take the advice of doctors and never seek alternative information. However, with the internet that is beginning to change and people are getting more knowledgeable. I think herbs and spices are the way to go, but all in manageable small doses and in the natural state as much as possible. Garlic does really good blood thinning too, combined with its anti microbial benefits :)
You raise one of the most challenging issues of all. Which is how to know if the advice you're getting is reliable or not. That's one reason why I like to see what is or is not supported by the published research.
Of course, some research is backed by corporate interests and is therefore less trustworthy in my view. I mean, if the Sugar Board published a paper touting the benefits of sugar, I'd be highly suspicious. So that adds a layer of complexity to the whole thing.
One solution to that is to find someone whose work you come to trust over time and pay special attention to him/her (without turning your brain off, either).
Thanks for commenting, btw.
