Are there really no sources that state that things other than aspirin inhibit platelet aggregation?

1) I've read enough biomedical literature to know there is a source claiming just about anything you can think of. So regardless of what you mean, my answer is: "there is at least one such source".

2) Why is your question so loosely connected to the topic? Why say "things" instead of "non-aspirin NSAIDs", and "inhibit platelet aggregation" instead of "reduce risk of heart attack"?

3) If you are thinking of a particular paper, why not just say it?

But ok, I am probably being trolled at this point.

Then as I initially said, it really shouldn't be hard for you to imagine why someone would give the advice that the original person gave. This really isn't a difficult concept, yet you still act perplexed by it...

Because I was hoping you were capable of following the thread. And because the specific things arn't all that important to whether or not one should be able to think of a reason why that piece of advice was given.

Because if you're not just here to whine about being trolled, you can easily find it with Google.
