Hey, sorry to hear youre having some trouble. This is some of what Ray had to say on the topic:I've been having severe IBS issues lately so I don't take any aspirin atm, but I do miss it. Would applying it topically be gentle for my stomach? Would it still be effective ? Thanks.
Thanks for the info. So it will have roughly the same effect when applied topically? I've read on other sites that Aspirin is bad for the stomach but I have no idea how reliable those sources are. I'll check out your link. Cheers.Hey, sorry to hear youre having some trouble. This is some of what Ray had to say on the topic:
"Aspirin rapidly breaks down into acetic acid and salicylic acid (which is found in many fruits), and salicylic acid is protective to the stomach and intestine, and other organs."
"Repeated use of aspirin protects the stomach against very strong irritants."
"Although the animal studies that showed stomach damage from aspirin often used single doses equivalent to 10 or 100 aspirin tablets, the slight irritation produced by a normal dose of aspirin can be minimized by dissolving the aspirin in water. The stomach develops a tolerance for aspirin over a period of a few days, allowing the dose to be increased if necessary. And both aspirin and salicylic acid can be absorbed through the skin, so rheumatic problems have been treated by adding the drug to bath water."
Aspirin, brain, and cancer
Hope that helps!
Do you find it to be much less efficient when applied topically?Yes it works topically... trying using very warm water and applying to liver area. It is not the same as oral ingestion so you will have to just try it.
Yeah, personally Id trust Ray's opinion above just about any random website!Thanks for the info. So it will have roughly the same effect when applied topically?

I've been taking 2 ea 2X/day and have had no issues. I do take extra Glycene 1.5 tsp to help protect hearing and 20mg K1 for clotting and avoid cub-cutaneous bleeding. I use Gericare brand 325mg aspirin which dissolve very rapidly when dropped into a glass of water. I usually have a few oz water to help swallow the aspirin tabs.
