bleeding

Every time I see a study like this I catch myself singing the glorious Queen lyrics "...another one bites the dust". In this case, what bytes the dust is the pernicious myth that estrogen deficiency drives many of the features of menopause - from the more benign symptoms such as insomnia, night...

The study only looked at patients hospitalized for bone fractures, but I don't see why the results would be any different for any other condition and in any other setting (hospitalized or not). This probably at least the 10th study I have seen over the last few years demonstrating that humble...

Mainstream medicine makes no secret of its intense hate for aspirin. That humble drug has been the subject of countless articles of propaganda (many of them ghostwritten), with the goal of driving doctors towards eliminating aspirin from their practice. One of the most "sensitive" areas of...

What could be the reason I am getting nose bleeds after recently starting T3 supplementation? Is this a sign that I'm taking too much or that I need to take T4 with it as well?

Just a quick post that adds to the mountain of evidence contradicting the fearmongering about aspirin we hear on a daily basis from every doctor who manages to get some TV time. It has been known for a while that aspirin lowers bleeding risk in brain and GI tract, despite being an anti-coagulant...

The study below is both ground-breaking and scary. Ground-breaking because it demonstrates yet another mysterious and potentially lethal disease - cavernous angioma (CA) - has a very simple explanation - endotoxin / LPS. Scary, because it refers to evidence that emulsifiers widely approved for...

As many readers know, one of the scary stories Big Pharma tells about aspirin is that it increases the risk of bleeding in the GI tract or brain. As such aspirin has long been bashed as a possible cause of so-called hemorrhaging strokes. I posted studies a few years ago demonstrating that...

Many of you may have seen the ads on TV for the blood thinner Xarelto. Sadly, those ads have lately started to show increasingly younger people with apparent blood clotting issues, some of them clearly in their 20s. Xarelto is the latest attempt of the pharma industry to replace the old and...

Incidence of GI and brain bleeding events has been increasing over the last 30 years.Aspirin was blamed the increase of both the brain and GI bleeding events. Recent studies seem to have vindicated aspirin a bit, but the question remains about what is causing the increased incidence of brain and...

I posted a few studied in the past showing that instead of increasing bleeding in the brain and GI tract, aspirin protected from these very events, especially in people with life-threatening levels of bleeding. GI Bleeding Risks Of Aspirin Are Grossly Overstated Aspirin Actually Lowers Risk Of...

This new study is a good follow up on two previous studies I posted indicating that aspirin actually protects from death due to the two major issues it is supposed to be causing - i.e. GI and brain bleeding. Aspirin Actually Lowers Risk Of Bleeding In The Brain Aspirin Reduces Death /...

(Note: I'm not a medical practitioner. I'm merely sharing this information because it may be of your interest. I like learning about aspirin because I use it daily and try to be cautious with it :) ) Many people report bleeding issues from aspirin/salicylates even from low doses, and even...

This should study should be a required reading for all doctors who mindlessly parrot about aspirin and bleeding risks. In fact, the purported brain bleeding has been used the main reason for not recommending preventive aspirin usage for all age groups at risk for degenerative conditions. Btw, I...

Aspirin is commonly bashed by modern medicine as a somewhat useful drug that is severely handicapped by its side effects such as bleeding in the GI tract or brain. Well, guess what - aspirin actually protects against mortality and complications caused by GI bleeding. On the other hand, common...
