3 Recent Studies Prove Trump’s Doctors Are Giving Him Deadly Advice: Daily Aspirin Won’t Protect Your Heart — But It Could Increase Your Mortality

In fact, I’ve been warning my patients for decades that chronic, long-term use of any drug — including aspirin — can have serious consequences for your health. 

The latest research is clear that taking aspirin does nothing to decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke. 

But even at very low doses, it can increase your risk for deadly health consequences and do serious damage to your body. 

So why do conventionally trained doctors continue to recommend a daily aspirin?  

New medical discoveries come out almost every day now. The science moves fast. And a lot of doctors can’t keep up. So they rely on what they learned in school. 

Even after it’s proven wrong. 

For decades the standard recommendation was for patients with any heart disease risk factors to take aspirin every day because it acts as a blood thinner. 

So the medical community thought it was a good way to prevent the clots that cause heart attacks and strokes. 

And many doctors continue to follow that outdated guideline. 

Aspirin is sold over the counter, and people think that means it’s harmless. Around 29 million Americans who don’t have heart disease take daily aspirin, based on their doctor’s recommendation. 

And almost 7 million more take an aspirin on their own because they’ve been told that it will keep them safe. 

Almost half of American adults believe that taking aspirin every day will protect them against heart attack and stroke. 

It won’t. 

The Big Lie About Aspirin’s “Proven Protection”

Three enormous clinical trials put aspirin to the test, expecting to have those old ideas confirmed. But the results came back with a different answer. 

The ARRIVE (Aspirin to Reduce Risk of Initial Vascular Events) trial included 12,546 patients between the ages 55 to 60 with moderate risk factors for heart disease.² 

Patients took either 100 mg of aspirin or a placebo every day for five years. At the end of the study, researchers found that the aspirin didn’t reduce cardiovascular events at all. Definitely not the results that Bayer, the study’s sponsor, was looking for. 

The ASCEND (A Study of Cardiovascular Events iN Diabetes) trial, which included 15,480 diabetes patients, found that no benefits outweighed the risks of taking daily aspirin.³ 

And the ASPREE (ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly) trial found “no survival benefit” in taking 100 mg of aspirin daily.⁴ 

It didn’t prevent cardiovascular events. It didn’t prevent cancer. It didn’t prolong disability-free survival at all.⁵ 

None of these large studies showed an overwhelming benefit for taking daily aspirin. 

But all three uncovered some serious dangers. 

The Deadly Dangers Of Daily Aspirin 

Aspirin is not harmless. No matter how ads and doctors make it seem. It causes serious health hazards.⁶ Especially when you’re taking it every day for years. 

I tell my patients that taking aspirin is worse than taking nothing. Every year, thousands of Americans die from consequences triggered by this drug. And millions more suffer from devastating side effects. Research shows that regular aspirin intake can cause:^{7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18} 

And even death. 

That’s right. Daily aspirin increased the incidence of death even in formerly healthy older adults. 

But the good news is you don’t have to rely on this dangerous drug to help your heart. You can avoid heart attack, stroke, and aspirin side effects by taking some very simple steps. 

How To Stop Heart Attack And Stroke Using My Ageless Heart Protocol 

The medical establishment likes to toot its own horn when it says cardiac events are becoming less common. But it’s not true. 

While it is true that fewer Americans are dying from an initial heart attack, the total number of cardiac conditions is going up...way up. 

As people survive heart attacks, many now develop — and die from — other cardiovascular conditions, including:¹⁹

Combined, these non-heart-attack causes now comprise a much larger share of heart disease mortality. But they can all be prevented. 

And you don’t have to risk your life to do so. 

At my practice, we help patients restore an ageless heart naturally.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10). If you’re a long-term reader, you know I always start with “prescribing” CoQ10. 

Up to 75% of patients with heart disease have low CoQ10 levels. But supplementing with CoQ10 can bring immediate, life-saving benefits. 

Studies show that 100 to 120 mg daily reduces arrhythmias, increases left ventricular function (a critical part of your heart’s pumping ability), and reduces the death rate from repeat heart attacks.²⁰ 

It’s difficult to get enough CoQ10 from diet alone. I recommend 50 mg of ubiquinol CoQ10 every day. This form is eight times more absorbable than standard CoQ10. If you’re taking statins, which lower CoQ10 by more than 50%, boost your intake to 100 mg. 

Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation throughout the body and are especially important for repairing damage to your blood vessels. It’s one of the best options for treating poor circulation and stabilizing blood pressure. 

I advise steering clear of standard fish oil to get their omega-3s. Instead, I recommend squid oil and krill oil combined with natural astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant known to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. Make sure the omega-3 supplement you choose has at least 600 mg of DHA and 60 mg of EPA. And always take omega-3 fatty acids with a meal so they can be properly digested.

L-Arginine. This amino acid is responsible for 70% of the nitric oxide produced in your endothelium (the lining of your blood vessels). 

In an important study that included men with compromised NO availability, L-arginine increased their blood flow by an impressive 275%.²¹ 

Another clinical trial found that taking L-arginine helped reduce blood pressure for 69% of participants.²² 

In my clinic, I combine standard L-arginine with a specialized form called arginine Alpha- Ketoglutarate (AAKG). This gives you a “time release” effect that keeps NO levels elevated for much longer. I recommend taking at least 1 gram a day of AAKG paired with at least 6 grams of L-arginine. 

Vitamin K2. K2 is one of the best vitamins for heart health. A study of 4,800 people showed that high levels of vitamin K2 lowered the risk of coronary artery disease by 57%. It lowered calcium buildup in arteries by 52%. 

And it slashed the risk of death from any cause by 26%.²³ 

I recommend up to 90 mcg of vitamin K2 a day to my patients. As it’s fat-soluble, take it with a meal to improve absorption. 

Vitamin D. Without adequate levels of vitamin D, your cardiovascular system can’t function effectively. But more than one billion people worldwide are deficient. One study found that 83.5% of heart attack patients had low vitamin D levels.²⁴ 

Additional research shows that people with vitamin D deficiency face a higher risk of strokes, more severe strokes, and worse survival outcomes after stroke.²⁵ 

I encourage my patients to boost levels like their ancestors did — from sunlight. If you don’t spend much time in the sun, start slowly for about 10 to 20 minutes daily and work up to an hour. Make sure to go out in the sun when your shadow is shorter than you are, typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., so you can get good exposure over a short time. Just 10 minutes in the midday sun can give you 10,000 IU of vitamin D. 

It’s also a good idea to supplement. I recommend vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol. That’s the type of vitamin D made by your own body. 

Take between 5,000 IUs to 8,000 IUs a day.
