Yes, my brother in law used to make aspirin at one of the two main aspirin plants world wide that was located here. First for Monsanto, then Rhone Poulanc, then for someone else as the plant kept getting sold. The last owner moved the plant to Thailand. The main ingredients were that acetyl salicylic acid, lye, and one other nasty ingredient as I recall.
But, I find that it works. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : On 08/24/2014 03:09 PM, steve.sundur@... mailto:steve.sundur@... [FairfieldLife] wrote: I don't doubt it. I am not opposed to allopathic remedies. Especially when you are talking about trying to keep kids healthy. I am a regular user of aspirin, and an occasional user of ibuprofen. As you may know, aspirin was based on willow bark which contains the active ingredient: acetylsalicylic acid. There are a lot of pharmaceuticals that are based on the active ingredient of herbal cures and the result is not always better than the original herbal compound. This is usually allergy season for me, but I've not been bothered this year, otherwise, I'd likely be getting something for that at some point. . ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : A little story, back in the 1970s I got a fungal thing. I went to Dr. Bastyr (yup the ND who founded the college along with Dr. Carroll) for it and he had me use vitamin C and E on it. Didn't do a damn thing. My brother-in-law (not a doctor) suggested Tinactin. I put it on and a day later the problem was gone. Fast forward to a couple year's back when I'm listening to Dr. Glidden, an ND who has a radio show and graduated from Bastyr University, when he gets a call for the same thing. Glidden tells the caller to go to the drug store and get a bottle of Tinactin. He finishes off by saying, "not all allopathic medicines are bad." ;-)
