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?

dr.weil said after the age of 40 to take 2 baby asperin a day, so i do.

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

btw dr. weil will be on dr. oz today if anyone is interested

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.
