There are more drug related deaths from aspirin than any other drug on the planet.

[Blaze]

On a Rich Roll podcast Zach Bush md stated: "There are more drug related deaths from aspirin than any other drug on the planet"

I'd be interested in what context. Aspirin has been with us since the 1800's and I thought it to be safe and non-controversial. Heck, the compound in Willow trees has been used for more than 2000 years already. And I take it every day 3 times a day.

Can you provide a link and a time stamp to that link?

Sorry, no time stamp but quote was---- There are more drug related deaths from aspirin than any other drug on the planet.
Seems implausable to me.................

Thanks. Adding a time stamp would also be helpful.

I'd have to see the research to believe that. It's certainly possible though. I think aspirin poisoning was responsible for a great deal of mortality during the 1918 Spanish flu.

What did Zach Bush say in the video? Or did you even watch it?

Appreciate going out of your way for this. It's hard to make time stamps, I know. I get caught up listening, and often I'm driving, so there's no way to know at times the time.

In the early 20th century doctors prescribed monumentally high doses, on advice from Bayer. There’s an interesting theory that aspirin toxicity was a player in the “Spanish flu”.

Counting the Spanish flu deaths in would have a big effect on Aspirin-related deaths for sure. And did aspirin have many competitors? Or was it pretty much the player in the game? I think that Zach Bush was pointing the finger at Bayer the company rather than aspirin the product, and if Bayer did as you say recommended overdosage of aspirin, it doesn't say as much about aspirin as much as it says about Bayer. On that basis alone, water could also be the most dangerous substance on earth for contributing to drowning of so many people during Noah's time, with Noah being the male left to repopulate the earth with humans.

Bible scholars would speak to God's wrath rather than water's toxicity.

No arguments here. I'm a huge fan of aspirin.

Yes. As much as I would be a fan of Ivermectin over Remdesivir.

I wish that Zach Bush had expounded more on the reasons behind his aspirin remark instead of leaving it up to conjecture by us here. I find him to be very intelligent and science based but some of his conclusions make me doubt his perceptions. Certainly interesting to listen too ......... but loses some trust with me on things like his ion gut restore product. Dissolved prehistoric stone/minerals (Terrahydrite) which makes me remember the whole scam fulvic acid dissolved minerals thing that was a fad for a while. Ray has always transitioned adeptly from his theory and science into a practical application of his principles you can easily implement to improve your health. Zach has a lot of interesting theory and conjecture but I keep waiting for him to suggest more of a practical course of action based on his science like Ray does.

If you count suicide, considering how long aspirin has been available, probably.

Study finds increase in number, severity of suicide-related calls to US Poison Control

Over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) have long been a staple in households for managing pain, fevers, and other common ailments. However, the accessibility of these medications can make them easy to take in dangerous amounts. In a...

Bayer's patent expired the year before the flu, which allowed everyone else to flood the market with cheaper generic. That was one reason for its widespread use.

Thanks. Does thst still mean that aspirin as a generic drug is pretty much the only drug out there in use against the flu?

I really don't know what pharma drugs are effecrtive against flu, but after this covid thing it wouldn't surprise me if ivermectin is effective.

I didn't phrase my question right. I was referring to that time when the Spanish Flu was rampant. Was aspirin pretty much the game in town then?
