Important Information About Aspirin

[krisma5]

Someone sent this to me:

If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once
a day, take it at night. the reason: aspirin has a
24-hour "half-life". therefore, if most heart
attacks happen in the wee hours of the
morning, the aspirin would be strongest
in your system.

2. fyi, aspirin lasts a really long time in
your medicine chest. years.
(when it gets old, it smells like vinegar.)

please read on.

WHY ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED
save lives ....

It is important to always have ASPIRIN in
the home!!!
Why have Aspirin by your bedside?

ABOUT HEART ATTACKS

There are other symptoms of an heart
attack besides the pain on the left arm.

One must also be aware of an intense pain on
the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating,
however these symptoms may also occur
less frequently.

NOTE: There may be no pain in the chest during
an heart attack.

The majority of people (about 60%) who had an
heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs,
the chest pain may wake you up from your deep
sleep.

If that happens, IMMEDIATELY DISSOLVE TWO
ASPIRINS IN YOUR MOUTH and swallow
them with a bit of water.

Afterwards, phone a neighbour or a family member
who lives very close by and state "HEART ATTACK!!!"
and that you have taken 2 ASPIRINS

Take a seat on a chair or sofa and wait for
their arrival and .....

DO NOT LIE DOWN !!!

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person,
after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably a life can be
saved!

I have already shared the information!!! What about you?

I've heard about the benefits of aspirin during a heart attack.
It's, supposedly, life saving in some cases.

[Muddy]

I've heard about it having a preventative affect.

[fastreplies]

Now I’m confused.
Do I have to take one before or during heart attack?

;)

[Zap]

I've heard about it having a preventative affect.

I've actually heard both.
It's great as a preventative measure but it can also make the life or death difference during a heart attack.

[Zap]

Research shows that getting an aspirin early in the treatment of a heart attack, along with other treatments EMTs and Emergency Department physicians provide, can significantly improve your chances of survival.

You can take aspirin to help prevent coronaries, but I've found that cutting lard and goo out of my diet has a similar beneficial effect.

An aspirin will also prevent a girl from getting pregnant if she holds it between her knees.

Doesn't work. :sad: :P

[Muddy]

You know...I thought of that after I posted...lol!

[fastreplies]

There is good reason why not. I know it works every time.
All you have to do is to tell her that she forgot to ware her panties.
She will open her legs to see if panties is in place and... the rest is up to you

I suppose it's quite natural after having experienced life and not death to fear death, but if so, why? I often wonder if this life is just an elaborate trick.

I've been taking a 5 grain aspirin a day in the morning for the last 25 years, I will now take it at night instead, I am not precisely sure why I don't want to die, but, it seems I don't. Thanks for the informative thread.

You mean if we exist at all or this is only our imagination?

fastrepliesYeah something like that. What if death were simply a transition to a different state of being? Some would say that what if doesn't count, but what if what if did count, unbeknownst to a person not in that state at the time, this of course as opposed to the parallel universe theory? And what if a person in this "other state" was not aware of this "life as we know it" state? That would be pretty wild I guess, something like reincarnation but only one stay in each state. Or what if there were three states? John Lennon might say, what if there were only one state? I personally have a bit of difficulty imagining only one state, that may or may not be due to extracurricular religious influence. I wonder if it's possible for a person raised in desolation to develop a spiritual understanding.

[Atom]

Actually I'm thinking that it may not be opposed to a parallel universe model in that the states themselves, if it's possible to have a state without anyone in it, may exist simultaneously, just not the spiritual subjects within them.

[fastreplies]

You can create and be in as many states as your mind may desire.
For example:
my present state puts me in the same state where you are so we can share the same state of mind.

Does it make any sense?

;)

fastrepliesYes except that I wasn't referring to a state of mind, rather a state of being.

[fastreplies]

Following my logic, being is a product of our state of mind.

I am because I think I am

fastrepliesThe mind comes after being. A being is conceived, then begins to develop a brain that then develops a mind. Being comes first.

Being is an abstract whereas mind is something tangible.
You must have mind before you can realize your being.

fastrepliesI think that you have that backward, Fast, it's our being that is tangible and our mind that is abstract.

[Atom]

I may have to shut down for a spell, severe storm approaching. Maybe not, we'll see how it progresses. Lot's of red developing on the weather map.

God knows I tried to confuse you man, but you are gooder than I expected.

[Atom]

LOL! Cut it out. I'm old! I confuse very easily!!

:doh:

[Atom]

However, I think that it can be argued that the mind and everything that constitutes it are tangible, so I'll have to rethink that one..

I've heard about it having a preventative affect.

My doctor insists I take a small aspirin pill each day, in the morning though. It is supposed to thin the blood or make it less sticky. Suffice to say I have some questions for her now! :sqconfused:

I haven't been taking it as long as Atom, only for a year or two, but I'm happy to report that I am still alive. So it seems to be working. :sqwink:

[krisma5]

I wonder if one would need to consult the doc before taking aspirin daily for only prevention.

[Atom]

They say so but I don't know why, I mean, how common is Reye's syndrome anyway? :sqerr:

The stuff is basically harmless IMO.

[krisma5]

I don't think that they order you to take that just for that reason. There are lots of reasons to take meds (aspirin) regularly.

[Atom]

Well I certainly hope that they would indeed not order you to take aspirin for Reye's syndrome, when you have that is when you're NOT supposed to take it. But my point is that those cases are rare.

[Strong]

I'm in a high risk category of coronary heart disease because of my age and diabetes, hence my doctor's suggestion and indeed prescription. I guess I could choose to ignore her expert opinion, but she knows more about diabetes than me.

If the drugs make you feel better, you begin to trust the person giving you them eventually. :3wacko:

[Muddy]

Why do you think Atom and I have complete confidence in Ferre?

[krisma5]

I knew you were on something!

My favorite death quote:

"Perhaps death will be so great we'll regret having ever lived"
-ChuangZi

I don't know if that's comforting or terrifying... anyone have an aspirin? :sqeek:

[Strong]

I like that quote, I'm stealing it if you don't mind Ed.

[ewomack]

Seeing that I already stole it from an ancient Chinese philosopher, I have all the authority to say "sure! go ahead and steal it!"

I hope we're not playing a game or something, I probably should look at the topic title before I post.

[krisma5]

Nope, no game here, but it's still fun.:sqwink:
