Mayo Clinic on Aspirin

By Dr. Virend  Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic.

He is the lead author of the report in the July  29, 2008 issue of
the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most  heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6  A.M. and noon.  Having one during the night, when the heart  should be most at rest, means that  something unusual happened. Somers and his  colleagues have been  working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame. 

1. If  you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.

The reason:  Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.

2. FYI…  Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest
for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

Please read on. 

Something that we can do to help  ourselves - nice to know.

Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.

They work much faster than the  tablets.

Why  keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart  Attacks - There are other symptoms of a  heart attack, besides the pain on the left  arm. One must also be aware of an intense  pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots  of sweating; however, these symptoms may  also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart  attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their  sleep did not wake up.

However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth  
and swallow them with a bit of water.

Afterwards: 

- Call 911.
- Phone a neighbor or a  family member who lives very close by.
- Say  "heart attack!"
- Say that you have taken 2  Aspirins.
- Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the

Ask Congress to Help Protect Honey Bees

Save the bees -- we need them for our on survival… If the bees die, so do all our fruits, flowers, veggies and so will we with no food.

Yesterday a legal petition was filed--along with over a million public comments--calling on EPA to suspend registration of Bayer’s controversial bee-toxic pesticide, clothianidin.

As the public debate over causes behind Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) – a syndrome in which bees seemingly abandon their hives – carries on in the media, more and more new science has shown that neonicotinoid pesticides like  clothianidin are indeed a critical piece of the puzzle.

Bees are still sick, and EPA is still stuck. While we may not know the exact cause of CCD, EPA knows enough to act, and has the authority and responsibility to suspend Bayer’s bee-toxic pesticide, clothianidin – yet for over a year the Agency has failed to do so.

Congress has the authority to exercise oversight over federal agencies like the EPA. I just signed a petition from the Center for Food safety asking Congress to step up and help protect bees. Can you sign it too?

It only takes a few seconds and you can sign here:
