Aspirin does work. I've used AlkaSeltzer orig. formula for years for my burning attacks.
The AlkaSeltzer aspirin is absorbed very quickly... we learned about its bioavailability in our biopharmaceutics class, so it has very low potential for local bleeding.
The bicarb seems to also block receptors to histamine, for several hours. So the combo AlkaSetzer is useful at times.
Aspirin also blocks the flushing that Niacin causes. So if the PN is mediated by inflammatory cytokines, this is probably how it is acting...blocking those. I think the aspirin is very useful for food intolerance type reactions too.
People on blood thinners like Coumadin etc, cannot use aspirin however. Enteric coated aspirin may protect the stomach, but the potential for an intestinal bleed still exists. That is why I prefer aspirin in solution....as AlkaSeltzer provides. I get mine generically at WalMart... it is unbelieveably inexpensive!
