(11-03-13) Taking aspirin regularly causes severe degenerative eye disorders

Taking aspirin regularly causes severe degenerative eye disorders
by PF Louis

(NaturalNews) Off and on over the past few decades, the push for using aspirin
as a preventative against arterial clogging and heart attacks has helped Bayer
increase its sales.

Interestingly, this allopathic myth seemed to gather momentum around the same
time that other pain relieving NSAIDs (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs),
such as ibuprofen, and acetaminophen drugs such as Tylenol began flooding the
market enough to take a big bite out of Bayer's Aspirin sales.

Now aspirin is marketed as a wonder drug. With all the problems it actually
causes, it's a wonder that there are so many doctors assisting Bayer's sales by
prescribing aspirin as a daily medication for heart patients.

Adverse effects of long term aspirin use
Although temporary aspirin reactions can occur to diabetics, those with ulcers
and others who are allergic to aspirin, long term frequent use can negatively
affect anyone.

Perhaps the most recent long term adverse aspirin adverse effect study,
recorded in JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association)was reported by the
NY Times in late 2012. [1]

The findings dovetail with a study conducted in Amsterdam, The Netherlands a
year earlier called Associations between aspirin use and aging macula disorder:
the European Eye Study. [2]

Both studies concluded that regular use of aspirin doubles the risk of age-
related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause of blindness
among senior citizens. But this is the tip of an iceberg that is mostly not
visible to the public because it's ignored by Big Pharma's government agency
and media vassals.

Isolated and mostly ignored medical studies have linked regular aspirin use to
liver failure and a kidney disease known as analgesic nephropathy, which leads
to dialysis or death. In addition to eye issues, some experience tinnitus
(ringing in the ears) and possible hearing problems that resolve soon after not
taking aspirin anymore.

Frequent aspirin use is the the second most common cause of bleeding and
perforated ulcers or GI (gastrointestinal)wall damage. This is known among
doctors who may still prescribe low-dose daily aspirin as a heart attack
deterrent.

The irony is that although daily low-dose aspirin does reduce heart attacks
somewhat, the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is almost doubled. The constant blood
thinning without moderation, can cause brain hemorrhaging. Also, when heart
attacks do occur among low-dose aspirin consumers, they are fatal more often
than heart attacks occurring to those who don't use aspirin.

Perhaps the most dramatic adverse effect occurs when young children suffering
with fevers from viral infections are given aspirin. This can result in Reyes
Syndrome, where the child's vital organs fail suddenly, killing the child. [3]

Aspirin or any other drug should not be used to "kill a fever." A fever that
is not dangerously stratospheric indicates that the immune system is working
well. Fevers kill viruses with the body's increased heat (http://www.

It's also been determined by various medical scientists that aspirin damages
the body's natural healing compounds, such as vitamin C, folic acid, sodium,
potassium, and iron. Quite a trade-off for dubious heart health insurance.
There are safer alternatives. [4]

Natural alternatives
White Willow Bark is the herb that Bayer borrowed from to synthesize a
chemical cousin, ASA (acetyl-salicylic acid), so it could be patented in the
late 19th Century as Aspirin. Willow bark relieves pain without side effects.
Curcumin from turmeric not only relieves inflammation, it's "side effects"
inhibit cancer growth. There's also ginger, MSM supplements, bromelain, and
wobenzym N. [3] [5]

The natural herb hawthorn berry is an effective and safe anti-coagulant that
only acts as a blood thinner where and when needed, rather than constantly
keeping the blood dangerously thin for potential hemorrhaging. And there are
others (http://www.naturalnews.com/033866_aspiring_heart_attacks.html).
