The Lie of Aspirin Preventing Heart Attacks

For years, we have heard the dogma of how an aspirin a day helps to prevent heart attacks, even though the science backing the theory of aspirin therapy is seriously flawed. It is typical for the orthodox medical establishment; at least in its mythology. Virtually every orthodox doctor in the United States recommends aspirin to customers who have experienced heart problems.
Millions of people apparently believe that heart attacks are caused by some kind of aspirin deficiency, but of course, this is false. Early studies from 1974 through 1988 showed that aspirin was not helpful for cardiovascular diseases. Then in 1989, another study was done, which tested aspirin buffered with magnesium (Bufferin brand). This aspirin (magnesium supplement) reduced the of heart attacks by 44%. Since then, aspirin (not magnesium) has been recommended for those who have an increased risk of heart attacks. The magnesium content of the aspirin used in the paradigm-shifting study was completely ignored; since after all, only pharmaceuticals benefit health. Magnesium was ignored even though it was the only differing ingredient in aspirin that actually worked, and this 22-year-old institutional blindness about magnesium cannot possibly be accidental. It's F.D.A. science.
Here is something sad and disgraceful that represents an overall trend in modern medicine. While some heart attacks will be prevented by the magnesium in buffered aspirin, the number of aneurysms rises proportionally to make the overall death rate about the same. In other words, by recommending aspirin instead of magnesium, they kill about as many people as they save. A serving of organic spinach would be significantly more safe and effective than an aspirin a day.
Magnesium is necessary for healthy heart function, and most people are deficient due to modern western diets. Multiple studies have shown that magnesium reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, and balances the heart rhythm. A lack of magnesium is the reason why young athletes experience suddenly unexplained heart attacks after eating monosodium glutamate. MSG depletes the body of both magnesium and taurine. Both are necessary for a stable pulse.
Aspirin is almost certainly the safest pharmaceutical in existence, and it was first created from the bark of willow trees; so they had to seek a herbal medicine just like those "quacks" of alternative medicine. Rich, isn't it? Funny how they never mention that, or the fact that most successful treatments are actually based on alternative medicine. In the modern age, aspirin is "enhanced" with chemical engineering and is made completely synthetically like all of the other "real medicines". It is worth mentioning that the word 'real' has become a synonym for patentable, profitable, and likely to create a life-long drug dependence.
Last week, the New York Times reported that pain relievers are being linked to gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers, especially when taken on a long-term basis. When we combine this with the fact that ordinary aspirin does not prevent heart attacks, we see the effects of F.D.A. science, and money from Big Pharma. So called, "baby aspirin" is not normally buffered with magnesium, although you can purchase buffered aspirin over-the-counter, if you are desperate enough for a magnesium supplement.
Natural Sources of Magnesium (In order of concentration)
- Halibut fish
- Almonds
- Cashews
- Spinach
- Peanuts
Some people supplement with magnesium through small amounts of Epsom salt, but readers should be aware that it may contain impurities, since it is not food grade. Use it at your own risk.
Prologue
The above list of foods are very nutritious, and we strongly recommend them to anyone who is wishing to improve his health. Regular supplementation of magnesium through diet is the single best way to prevent heart attacks, and it comes without the risks which accompany all pharmaceuticals. We also recommend supplementing with cayenne and taurine for heart health, as we have written about in other articles, as well as the avoidance of homogenized milk. Cayenne can actually stop a heart attack in-progress, in many cases. Eating a good, balanced diet is not something that any drug company can patent, so nutritional medicine will continue to be regarded as "quackery" by the Big Media and it's high-paying disease industry advertisers.
They know it is the magnesium, and this is why they generally only recommend baby aspirin, since it contains less actual potentially-harmful aspirin. They know it's not the aspirin helping, but none of them have the guts to go public. It's like the tale of The Emperor's New Clothes, or that whole "searching for the cure" thing, as if they just don't know.
Who can blame them for being afraid to speak out in the current climate? Just try selling magnesium, while making "unapproved claims" about heart health on this "unapproved drug", and see how long it takes the F.D.A. to get you into prison for threatening their pharma-chemical industry. People who sell and distribute magnesium cannot make such "claims", even though they are proven by the establishment's own studies; and frankly, we would have to go silent about magnesium too, if we sold any magnesium supplements. This is why the labels for most supplements have only vague descriptions of their effect, because we're not supposed to learn about them. That's the way it works, folks, and none of this is an exaggeration in the slightest. The agenda (at least at the top) is to keep us sick and dependent upon the drugs.
The related articles below should make it obvious why we're not supposed to know about magnesium, and just how bad it is for business.
