Americans buy more than 44 million
packages of aspirin a year to try and ward off heart attacks and strokes.
But that daily aspirin may be doing
more harm than good. Sure, aspirin acts as a blood thinner. But it also strips
away the stomach lining, causing ulcers and bleeding. And if ulcers aren’t bad
enough, bleeding can occur inside the brain, resulting in death.
If you are one of the millions
worried about having a heart attack there’s another alternative. Minus the
bleeding, ulcers, and death.
New research from Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) found a natural alternative.2 Even the FDA
deemed it safe and effective. So safe and effective, that they want it for
themselves.3
Dr. Robert Flaumenhaft, a professor
at Harvard Medical School, led the study. His group of researchers administered
this natural supplement orally to rats. And they discovered that this natural
cure had anti-thrombotic properties.
Thrombosis is commonly known as a
blood clot. Clots block blood flow to the brain and to the heart. This leads to
heart attack and/or stroke.
What is this life-saving compound?
Rutin…
Maybe you’ve never heard of it. But
rutin is a flavonoid that proves the old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor
away.” It can be found in many fruits and vegetables including onions, citrus
fruits, and – you guessed it – apples.
