The best description I heard from a good source was that Aspirin did not thin 
the blood,it only made the blood slippryer [spell ?],thereby not allowing it to 
clump or clot,or stick to the blood vessel walls..AND Vitamin E does the same.
If I may relate what happened to my father back in 1942,[he was 45].He was an 
engineer in the Army,Staff sergeant.Had a severe coronary Occlusion,was 
medically discharged.Our old time Dr.  had him on one Drug only [by script in 
those days ], and it was Vitamin E.He lived until he was 77+.We never even knew 
what Vit. E was before then.
AND,when I came back from England [RCAF] after the war ,I was enjoying [?] a 
form of PTSD ,guess what the same Dr. prescribed for me;you’re right,VITAMIN 
E!!!
TA DA !!! and I’m still here,big as life and twice as unnatural.
Keep your fingers crossed kiddies.

Harold
