Taking Gingko/Ginger/Cinnamon instead of baby aspirin?

I read an article in a magazine about Ginger being helpful for circulation by inhibiting platelets from collecting together and wondered if it would be better to take this supplement:

Ginkgo Biloba with Ginger and Cinnamon :

instead of taking baby aspirin (75mg) every morning?

Lots of good information to read on this link about foods taken as natural blood thinners and foods that clot the blood.

thanks for the link CD, very interesting
i didnt know taking friendly bacteria clots the blood,
i takre a small probiotic yoghurt drink, would it be better to take an acidophilus tablet instead of the small yoghurt drink?

i thought it was important to take a probiotic/friendly bacteria supplement?

any opinions on taking this gingko biloba/ginger/cinnamon supplement instead of baby aspirin?

by the way im in my early 20's

dc10,

I'm not a MD. Only your MD can tell you what can replace baby Aspirin, like what supplements to take. We don't know the quantity that would equal a baby aspirin or how it metabolizes in each of our unique bodies.

Aspirin is synthesized much faster than food, IMO.
