My wife died of bowel cancer, and nobody knew about this at the time. I take the stuff in a weaker version to avoid coronary problems, most people take it 'cos they've got a headach, period pains and other things.
It's turning out to be a real miracle worker.
It wouldn't surprise me if it were to disappear from "open sale" - there is more money to be made like that. It is, actually, already a "prescription medication" in the heart assistance format, which doesn't really make sense, unless you know this fact - my father died from a well known Aspirin side effect - stomach bleeding.
Aspirin doesn't cure - it helps, assists to control the condition, but normal strength Aspirin also causes stomach ulcers and bleeding, which is why a weaker form is available now for Cardiac patients. Explanation is that heart patients more often than not also take blood thinners, and should a stomach bleeding start, this makes it even more difficult to get it under control, so - don't go rushing out to buy a whole bundle of Aspirins......

Still nice to know that there is an old fashioned thing which can help against the revolting bowel cancer and the deaths caused. Just a shame it wasn't known 20 years or more ago.
It does make me wonder what other things it could be used for.....
