Aspirin for cancer.

What is aspirin?  Now manufactured in a lab it originally started as a natural remedy based on extract of willow bark.  It is a magic cure for headaches and now cancer.  But it has side effects because it does change the consistency of blood and increases the chance of internal bleeding.

Taking a low dose of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer.   The three new studies published by The Lancet add to mounting evidence of the drug’s anti-cancer effects.  Many people already take daily aspirin as a heart drug.  But experts warn that there is still not enough proof to recommend it to prevent cancer cases and deaths.
