Taking a daily aspirin? Stop NOW! (Here’s why)

For years, the mainstream has insisted that taking a daily aspirin can shield you against a heart attack or stroke.

So, it’s not shocking that nearly 29 MILLION Americans – many of them seniors – take a low-dose aspirin every day in hopes of preventing a cardiac event.

But while daily aspirin has been a “popular” preventive for heart problems… recent research turns that whole notion on its head.

Because it turns out that taking a daily aspirin may be DESTROYING your heart!

If you’re currently taking a daily aspirin (or have been told you should), I urge you to keep reading…

Aspirin’s already notorious for bleeding problems… including gut bleeds and brain bleeds…

And that’s exactly why officials PULLED their recommendation for it years ago as a primary prevention (i.e. stopping a first heart attack).

But clearly, not everybody got the memo!

I mentioned earlier that millions are still on daily aspirin – which means they could be sitting ducks for a scary heart risk.

For those who already have one risk factor for heart problems… research shows taking this drug faithfully could RAISE the odds of heart failure by 26%!

That’s nearly EVERYONE on regular aspirin.

So, you’re taking a daily aspiring to help prevent a heart event… but instead, it’s doing just the opposite.

Unfortunately, this study from the European Society of Cardiology isn’t generating big headlines over here.

So I’ll give it to you straight:

Unless you’re one of the folks in some very specific situations who MIGHT need to take aspirin…

It’s high time to quit.

Just don’t give up the drug on your own. Studies show quitting aspirin suddenly could be as dangerous as taking it. So, get your doc onboard and so that he can help you quit safely.

Then, get cracking on a better plan for heart health… one backed by science that can deliver real protection without putting you at risk of heart failure.

For starters, I generally suggest…

  • CoQ10
  • L-Carnitine
  • magnesium, and
  • vitamin E as mixed tocopherols.

A naturopathic physician can help you figure out a more specific plan customized to your risks and needs.
