"If a newly discovered substance had aspirin’s antiinfective, anticancer, antistress, antioxidant and antiinflammatory actions it would be the most researched substance in history." — Ray Peat (2013)
Something worth mentioning is Caffeine & Aspirin have overlapping effects. Rather than loading up on just Aspirin I will include Coffee w/smaller amounts of Aspirin. I'm guessing the combination is more beneficial than the individual substance.
So you’re saying even using pure aspirin powder it’s still sensible to put in hot water with baking soda? Also is lactose ok as only additive if I can’t get pure powder? Thank you
This was great, thank you, but I'm still wondering about which FORM of vitamin K works with aspirin. K2 is what Forefront Health, Heath Natura, etc sells to the Peat world. My hypothyrodism brought on a high rcb and I need to thin my blood but I take, like most Peaters I would think, vitamin E which also thins the blood. I don't seem to bleed with 325-500mg Aniprin a day and 100mcg of K2. And I still have a question about the toxicity problem of taking vit E and K at the same time, but see that they are together in Giorgi's fat-soluble blend? Appreciate your time if you could address this here or on the next Giorgi interview.
We talked about the unfavorable vitamin E-vitamin K redox reaction in one of the last Generative Energy episodes. Georgi's vitamin K in olive oil is my favorite product at the moment. Thorne's product is good too, but I wouldn't eat it due to the MCT oil. Life Extension also had a good vitamin K in olive oil (Super K I think).
Anyone have an issue with elevated liver enzymes when taking aspirin? Mine go up when I take more than one aspirin a day. Not sure what would cause this issue.
Thpughts on pure salicylic acid? Ive been taking about 1g in 3 seperate doses for awhile now and digestion seems fine. Sometimes I pair it with milk, do you think thats a good counter measure for the acidity?
I use Geri Care and the white stuff is at the top. I'm guessing that's still the corn starch and I should skim it off? Also, is there a major concern for kidneys or those with kidney issues? I think it's helping me sleep! I couldn't figure out what I had done when I suddenly started sleeping through the night. Then I started waking with cortisol again after about a month, such a horrible feeling. I finally remembered I had taken a bunch of aspirin due to constant headaches. I've started aspirin again and sleep is getting better. Remarkable! Just wondering if it's safe for long term daily use?
Isn't it possible that the reason you're not having a problem with taking large doses of aspirin with the "dissolved in water with baking soda method" is because the baking soda aka sodium bicarbonate is reacting with the aspirin aka salycilic acid to form sodium salycilate, water and carbon dioxide?
If that's the case you could shortcut the reaction process by supplementing pure sodium salicylate as a salt directly.
These are really good, thank you Danny. I think an encapsulation on antibiotics would be very interesting.
Next one.
I usually dissolve a tablet in a cup of stock or broth when we're having that at home, adds a nice acidic taste to the soup... it's a win-win

That still might be worth doing for some people. As far as I know, lactose as an additive is ok.
Great podcast! Where do you get K2 in Olive oil? Hard to find. Fortunately I can handle MCT oil at the moment.
Life extension and idealabs are the only two companies I know of at the moment that use olive oil for their vitamin K products.
premier research labs has a D3/K2 blend but its in a capsule

I do appreciate all you do for us. Thank you so much Danny!
Great episode, really informative!!
Thanks, Danny. K1 is the coagulant made in the colon. K2 has other functions. There may be some overlap.
I like to buzz my aniprin crystals in a coffee grinder to make a fine powder, makes it way easier to dissolve in a minimal amount of hot water.
Never thought of that -- great idea.

For what it's worth, I haven't heard that before.
Thpughts on pure salicylic acid? Ive been taking about 1g in 3 seperate doses for awhile now and digestion seems fine. Sometimes I pair it with milk, do you think thats a good counter measure for the acidity?
As far as I know, salicyclic acid is good stuff. Yeah, that sounds good.

Baby aspirin makes my ears ring - what to do?

Just curious, why do you add the baking soda to the aspirin when you dissolve it?
