Great article. One extra point:

I run into a lot of people that have issues with Tylenol. One of the least appreciate facets of it is that it commonly triggers vaccine injuries.

Specifically, children who are having a vaccine reaction will often get a high fever and get very upset. The standard advice they are given is to give the kids appropriately dosed Tylenol, which alleviates the immediate concern (the infant being in distress) and replaces it with a far more severe illness (e.g., rashes all over the body or autism). I've heard two different explanations for why this happens (the tylenol stops the liver from detoxing the vaccine, or suppressing the fever prevents the body from expelling the negative vaccine). I've run into a lot of people this has happened to who regret not knowing about it.

Similarly, I've also seen many infectious illnesses become much worse after receiving tylenol (e.g., numerous people I know who were not feeling well from COVID got much worse after taking Tylenol for their pain).

I saw an early report from China with only 20 patients who took aspirin for the covid. It said the aspirin did a great job, but have been unable to find that report back. I told dad to not take the jabs since aspirin seemed to heal and prevent infection, but to no avail. Both parents take aspirin on daily basis.

About 2 months into covid, I saw in the news that the Italian doctors were using aspirin, with good results. I stocked up. When I came down with it followed by a very nasty cough, I took aspirin every 3 hours, for a few days, and then as needed. It made all the difference.

I'm a retired pediatrician. We recommended pre-treating infants with Tylenol to decrease potential pain and fever (This was standard of care taught to residents).

Additionally, a study was published, probably around the year 2000, showing the benefit of using acetaminophen over ibuprofen specifically for post-vaccine fevers and pain.

It's overwhelmingly infuriating to realize how the evil medical powers-that-be have manipulated doctors and ruined patients' lives. Thank God for bodily resiliency.

I thank God that I rarely used Tylenol with my babies/kids. My go to for pain/inflammation was ibuprofen & I switched to aspirin after reading about the researcher who lost his grant/job when uncovering bad effects from Tylenol. The pediatricians never mentioned aspirin & I would’ve been unaware of its safety/effects on my kids so I would never think to give it to them. Now in hindsight it was the only thing in our medicine cabinet when I was a kid growing up….but my mom wasn’t running us in to the dr for vax shots either. In fact I can’t remember going to a doctor at all as a kid unless someone broke their arm or needed stitches.

Thank you Dr. Yoho. Super interesting as always. I learned about the dangers of Tylenol years ago, but even still no one wants to even consider that it's not a good idea to take, especially regularly.We should shout this from the rooftops put the people do not want to hear.

And most of the young Mothers give their children tylenol all without a thought. I have tried to suggest they might want to read up on that, but their face is a closed door. Zero curiosity and they look at me like I am some old fart to ignore at all costs. And these are my grand babies I worry about. Just as it was trying to suggest early treatment with repurposed drugs during covid. Blank look Always and often hostile reaction. It never ceases to blow my mind.

I am now so suspicious of any scientific paper (which breaks my heart since I am a peer-reviewed writer also).

So the studies you cite on the amazing benefits of taking adult non coated aspirin make me a little nervous also ( Were these studies corrupted? did they have an ulterior motive, an agenda?) but I do agree that aspirin is probably much safer. Years ago I bought a package of powdered Willow bark in Ireland thinking it might be the safest thing of all to take for pain relief. Unfortunately it came with no instructions whatsoever and that same package still sits in my freezer many years later! I have no idea of the proper dosage of powdered Willow bark!

For a brief while, I did try to take a baby Aspirin a day. But within a week or 2, I got very frequent and horrible looking bruising on my arms. As soon as I stopped the tiny dose, the bruising stopped also. So even aspirin worries me. Thank you so much. Your writings are very interesting and thought-provoking and informative.

" For a brief while, I did try to take a baby Aspirin a day. But within a week or 2, I got very frequent and horrible looking bruising on my arms"

Yes, my father's skin (and more) was destroyed by baby Aspirin.

Before that they had him on blood thinners for 3 years before I got him off. Blood thinners didn't help but damage escalated bigtime after coming off the thinners and starting 'baby' aspirin. He was purple/black/some red from elbow to tips of fingers. It spread quickly.

Legs, knees to toes, almost as if he was a black man. Dark purple/black. Unbelievable to watch it spread.

Ohhh, these beautiful meds.

"depending on the situation"

Yes.

Re: blood thinners. Way back when, 15-20 yrs ago when we were taking care of my father, one neurologist and one neurosurgeon explained blood thinners to me. They did not know each other, different parts of the state, yet they basically said the same thing.

Paraphrasing: Blood thinners are over-prescribed probably 90%-95% of the time and they were both p*ssed off about this. They both said 'those in the know' do NOT like them being willy nilly prescribed. Not needed by most folks and they do much damage to the human body/brain. The kicker is, 5-10% really do need them. Life savers.

They both went on to say that it was the frontline doctors who were overprescribing. Way over prescribing and it needed to stop.

My husband was just in the hospital for Diverticulitis and they tried every day to give him blood thinners. They said it was so he didnt get blood clots..but he wasnt bedridden. He was able to roam around his room and even take his own showers. He denied them and survived. No clots. Who knew?

Perceived risk and whose perceived risk. Lots of people come out of hospital on 5 to 10 drugs and their doctor renews everything automatically. Maybe the drug was indicated in the hospital or maybe it was for a risk of something.

There is no risk assessment for the patient because of the liability risk for the doctor. I suspect that it is a fear of treading on toes as well as 'institutional guidelines'. As people cycle in and out of the hospital, more drugs are prescribed and renewed until 'something' happens.

If afib was caused by a condition resolved in the hospital why would blood thinners be continued?

If 'dementia' was caused by being alone in a strange place, with ghosts tormenting you all day and night and resulting sleep deprivation, why would carbamazepine, xanax or haldol be continued when you go home?

A standard policy at one hospital was giving Protonix automatically to all because of the risk of stomach erosions because of being in the hospital. (From a study). So people went home with Protonix prescriptions.

The automation is maddening.

I read about a scientist that was studying Tylenol & was finding problems. I remember that one of the things he found was the toxicity of it after vaccines. His research grant was ended & he lost his job at the university. Of course this story was a bit drawn out & it was never said that was the reason but the dots were connected.

I always found Tylenol to be ineffective except to lower a fever. They have the entire medical establishment & population trained to take it. I grew up with aspirin from my mom & started buying it again. It’s great - what a scam the past 40 years!!

I too grew up with aspirin. Of course when having babies and sick children the recommendation was Tylenol. My husband and I agreed on natural vitamins, healthy food and limited medications, including over the counter. I think it started when I decided to breastfeed. I contacted the La Leche League and read their book. Lots of information, including nutrition.

Big Pharma destroys people who expose their evil plans to cause Chronic illness in every single human they can reach. Chronic illness is a GOLD MINE for Big Pharma, Insurance Companies, Hospitals and many (but not all!) Doctors. There was a doctor on X this week showing people how insurance companies get more money from Medicare if they make us sicker. Or at least make us Sound Sicker! It's all about MONEY! And not at all about health. A patient cured is a CUSTOMER LOST!

I’ve read much of what Dr. Ray Peat has put out there and, while I can’t buy into a lot of his conclusions, one that resonated with me was about the benefits of aspirin. I’ve taken one or two regular aspirin before bed for the last 8 or 9 years. Have experienced no stomach issues.

I read Dr. Ray Peets pages and pages of advice too,....I wish he was still here to talk to! I even tried his eating plan,...but I didn't do very well on it. I wonder though, after seeing his advice on Aspirin is very good,....maybe I just didn't do it right? The hardest part is living on a lot of Sea Food,....especially crustations. I don't really trust them being wild caught or safe to eat. I wish his plan worked for losing weight though, because eating Carnivore is just not me,....but I do lose weight on it. Some. But I do not like it! I have to force myself to eat mostly meats. Oh well, I may re-read his work again. :)

I'm confused. My mother and father were both put on once a day baby aspirin after one had a heart attack and the other strokes - both turned black and blue and looked like assault victims for the years they consumed it daily as prescribed by their respective doctors. They both decided to stop taking it after a handful of years due to looking so awful.

I had always heard that aspirin helped prevent certain types of cancer, particularly colon cancer. In the last few months however I have been surprised to run across several articles, one in the Epoch Times warning against the use of aspirin. Apparently, there are new guidelines “Warning of Bleeding Dangers”, which made me wonder why new guidelines for supposed dangers for a medication that has been used for well over 100 years. The article reads in part “Americans taking aspirin have no history of cardiovascular disease and are taking the over-the-counter drug based on antiquated advice that the benefits outweigh the dangers for most older adults.” One of the sections in the article declares “Randomized Trials Sound Alarm on Aspirin’s Bleeding Hazards”. I guess if it’s starting to be attacked, it is just more evidence that it is actually very beneficial.

Everyone has different reactions to all things. My Dad, who never took an aspirin in his life, was also black and blue in his later years, sometimes that is a function of age. I have taken regular dose aspirin for years, often multiple times per day, for headaches and have no such issue. I’ll take my chances with aspirin, something that has been used for 100+ years, and for 4000 years before that as willow bark, before I’d ever swallow a Tylenol, ibuprofen or naproxen.

Instead of aspirin for someone who has a heart attack or stroke they’re quick to prescribe Coumadin, Eliquis, Xarelto which have the same bleeding risk as aspirin along with a plethora of other possibly dangerous side effects. I know which I would choose.
