Although aspirin is mainly just thought of as an anticoagulant [blood thinner] that is a handy-dandy pill for headaches. But recently it's been found that it may be more than just that simplistic thought. Research seems to be pointing that it is even more important, because it was seen to both treat cancer patients and prevent cancer from occurring. This was done with hundreds of people who took an aspirin daily. It is believed that this occurs because it helps to stop the cancer from spreading throughout the body and thus makes the body healthier. After the three years of research it was found that it helps to prevent cancer by 25% and helps to reduce the risk of death from cancer by nearly 40%, and also it helps have a 36% chance of preventing organ-spreading cancers. However this research showed that it was necessary to have taken the aspirin for about three years for ideal effect. Also the study was not based on this principle and requires a new study that is focused upon this subject to have true results. Hopefully this could be a breakthrough that can provide cheap medicine to those who need it or wish to stay healthy.
