Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / April 2005Organic, Free-Range Aspirin
Is "pure" aspiring available? For example, listed as an ingredient of Bayer aspirin is propylene glycol. Oh, and I see there is a little shellac in there, too. Oooo, and some talc. >From: Al <ecarecar@yahoo.com> >Subject: Organic, Free-Range Aspirin >Date: Thu, 07 Apr 2005 16:27:06 -0400 >Is "pure" aspiring available? >For example, listed as an ingredient of Bayer >aspirin is propylene glycol. Oh, and I see there >is a little shellac in there, too. Oooo, and >some talc. Hmmm..."organic, free-range aspirin"??? Is that something like the "free-range poultry" (chickens) I've heard about? The idea is that free-range chickens lay "healthier" eggs. No facts to support this claim however have been demonstrated. As to organic aspirin...I doubt such a chemical exists, since ASA is a manmade chemical.

I should have known better than to post to this group.

As Brother Dave Gardner asked, >"What will the preacher do when the Devil is >saved?" It also does very little good to belittle those who post replies. So, in an attempt to answer your assumed question, "pure" aspirin is only going to be available to laboratories and manufacturers. It is not considered safe enough for the average citizen to possess or use.

Brad The American Indians used to chew on the bark of weeping willow trees, for headache reduction. That's how asprin was eventually discovered.

Oooo, and > some talc. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) doesn't come from weeping willow tree bark..."salicyn" does however. ASA is a petroleum product if I remember correctly. But yes, Native Americans used to chew a lot of barks and leaves, as well as various berries, cacti and buffalo. Quite of number of modern medications have some origins in nature... naturally! But aspirin is NOT "organic" in the sense of being a "naturally produced substance"...it is considered an "organic chemical" in that it contains carbon in its molecular structure... "organic chemistry". C U L8R!
