aspirin replacement

Question
Dear Jacqueline,

I am 48 years old and very near to 49.............I live a sedentary life and am a little obese.....I have been prescribed one 75mg aspirin pill per day to prevent blood clots etc etc.......however as I am a little anaemic my doctor has told me to stop aspirin as he is blaming it for my anaemia.....however to solve this I need to do several tests......my question is does some other chemical exist given to thin blood and simultaneously does not cause ulcers etc etc?

Sincerely hoping to hear from you soon I sincerely thank you in advance.

Regards.

Answer
Paul,

Aspirin has special benefits for heart heath and clot risk.  One option would be to ask your doctor if you can take enteric coated aspirin.  Sometimes this is ok after an ulcer heals, and sometimes it is not.  It depends a bit on the severity of the ulcer and where is is located.

My favorite natural things to replace aspirin therapy are fish oil and nattokinase.

I suggest 2 grams of fish oil/day and NSK-SD Nattokinase at a dose of 1 capsule twice per day.

In Health,

Dr. Jacques
