"A serving of organic spinach would be significantly more effective and safer than an aspirin a day."

This was interesting.  I, too, for years heard that aspirin was beneficial for circulation.  The last time I took aspirin was several years ago on a recommendation from Dr. Barry Sears, who recommended taking half a baby aspirin with fish oils to achieve excellent pain relief.  And it did.  I have had the best pain relief from this combination, and have never since taken any adult aspirin. 

But C. Thomas Corriher at Healthwyze.com says that aspirin is not good. He writes:

For years, we have been told that an aspirin a day keeps the heart attacks away. The poor science behind this belief is seriously flawed. 

Nevertheless, Bayer pharmaceuticals has had a heyday marketing aspirin to doctors and the public for preventative medicine. As a result of this marketing which twisted the results of otherwise valid studies, virtually every orthodox doctor in the United States now recommends aspirin to customers who have experienced heart problems. Millions of people ridiculously believe that heart attacks are caused by an aspirin deficiency.

Cashews are a rich source of magnesium.

The original studies from 1974 through 1988 showed that aspirin was not helpful for cardiovascular diseases. Then in 1989, another study was done, which tested aspirin that was buffered with magnesium (Bufferin brand). This type of aspirin, which acted as a magnesium supplement, reduced 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 buffered aspirin that was used in the paradigm-shifting study was completely ignored; since after all, only a pharmaceutical could benefit health. Magnesium was institutionally ignored, even though it was the only differing ingredient in the aspirin that actually worked.

While some heart attacks can be prevented by the magnesium in buffered aspirin, the number of aneurysms and other internal bleeding issues rise proportionally because of the aspirin itself, to make the overall death rate about the same as those not 'supplementing' with aspirin. In other words, by recommending aspirin instead of magnesium, the establishment kills about as many people as they save; because they are going to great lengths to avoid promoting competing nutritional medicine.

Spinach is a rich source of magnesium.

A serving of organic spinach would be significantly more effective and safer than an aspirin a day. Magnesium is necessary for healthy heart function, and it is lacking in Western diets. Multiple studies have shown that magnesium reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and balances the heart rhythm.
