Thread: Read this if you take Aspirin to avoid strokes

A few years ago a doctor friend of mine told me about a survey of UK doctors over the age of 45 and seemingly 95% of them said they took low level aspirin everyday

These tablets "thin the blood" so it does not clot too easily. This helps to prevent strokes and heart attacks, so also good to take before a long flight

Listen to Uncle gjbkk children......

I take melatonin before and after long haul flights as it resets ones body clock and I don't get Jet Lag.....I also wear those special socks to prevent blood clots in my calf muscles.

Nothings any good though if the Plane crashes......

I began taking an aspirin a day after visiting with my friend a surgeon where on the b'fast table were placed a small bowl of Vitamin capsules (geriatric) and a small container of 90mg aspirin tablets. All the guests took one of each. I have been doing so for the last 15 years, the others longer. My two brothers-in-law, both doctors, do the same.
So far, so good... I hope. Will have to gather more data regarding morning vs night. Thanks for all the latest news on aspirin.:thanks:

BTW in CMai on Suthep Rd about 300 m from the Neimenheymann (sp) Rd junction, on the north side, is the CMai Univ Drug Store which offers its 60-yr-old-plus customers a 5% discount card for items purchased there. I have been going there for years.
