Does Intake Of Vitamin E Help In Treating Small Benign Brain Lesion?

Hello and thanks for taking my question. My PCP suggested I take a baby aspirin a day for a very small benign brain lesion just to be on the safe side . My gastro-enterologist suggested I stop because I have developed two small stomach ulcers. (I seem to be between a rock and a hard place) A third opinion by a holistic health care provider suggested I take vitamin E instead, that it had the same results. My question is two fold: is the Vitamin E a good idea and does it have anti-inflammatory properties as does ASA? I know they are both blood thinners. Thanks, Barbara

Hello,

Not necessarily it will help. I have till now not been able to demonstrate any profitable aspect of it in the human body. ASA is obviously a proven blood thinner so it may help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
