Beyond Aspirin by Thomas M Newmark

The 20th century was the "Aspirin Century" because of the widespread use of this common drug in treating everything from headache to heart disease. Now, as we enter the next millenium, we move "Beyond Aspirin" to an exciting new world of safe and natural methods to control the inflammation that lies at the root of many deadly diseases.

This book is a guide to one of the most remarkable medical breakthroughs in recent history. Research now shows that inhibition of the "COX-2" enzyme significantly reduces the inflammation that is currently linked with arthritis, colon and other cancers, and Alzheimer's disease. While the conventional pharmaceutical approach to some of these situations is to prescribe drugs known as "super-aspirins," Beyond Aspirin presents a powerful case for the superiority of a safe, full-spectrum herbal approach to COX-2 inhibition.
