Searching for "double blind AND acetylsalicylic acid" gives 1472

If no clinical studies have been made, how would you know that they
"have no adverse side effects"?

In that case, I can sell you a charm against osteoporosis for, say, $99.
No adverse side effects - guaranteed!  By your own argument it is at

What peer reviewed scientific publication can substantiate these claims?

Mow, Micki, I have nothing against you or Nikken in particular.  I am
suspicious of ALL multilevel-marketing companies that claim to address
health issues with no clinical proof.
