Sam - if you can't find the D-mannose... Xylitol sourced from birch trees is used to stop urinary tract infections. Also consider bombarding it with megadosing of Liposomal Vitamin C from LivOn along with cranberry or any of these combinations. You'll know quickly about the efficacy of these as they typically bring almost instant relief. No worries about afib. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Rob - when you eat a sugary carb, both magnesium and potassium are required for metabolism…... and if you are already have low intracellular status of these electrolytes, that uses already low IC stores and the resultant ectopics are a given.... and often, for others, Afib is the result.

Thank you, Researcher, for your endeavors. Very important to relate the experience and skill of the EP to this adverse occurrence. About the time the papers you reference were published.. in '04...I attended the Afib Summit here in Cleveland sponsored by Cleveland Clinic.

Welcome, Sally... I'll address just a couple of potential aspects for your consideration. More later... but when I read that you take arginine and then had Shingles. I needed to respond to that first... Be aware that arginine helps promote that outbreak. Best to focus on Lysine and stop the arginine. Arginine can also be too stimulatory in some afibbers and cause more afib so you may finby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi George - The 'gut bacteria people' who hold whole conventions on just this specific topic indicate that what's active in yogurt is no where near enough to be helpful since much of those are no longer active by the time you eat them...unless you make your own. There are also some individuals that don't react well to the bacteria produced by milk sugars...(in the ogliosacby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Liz - My assessment which was not 'first hand' was that they felt it was the low potassium level that was causing the blackouts and once repleted continually, he would probably not rely on the pacemaker. They installed it immediately rather than keep him for several days to assess his heart's reaction first to IV repletion. Now that he's had the device for several years, hiby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

You should probably share that with your nutritionist. ...." Due to iby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Kurt - do you have any labs for your potassium levels? I have a friend who went through some fainting spells due to low heart rate... (he's a runner) and when he went to the ER after fainting, they immediately installed a pacemaker.

David - heed well Shannon's advice and Dr. Wright's protocols. That's the road back to recovery...along with the other supportive, required nutrients.

portofcall - One consideration now that you mention cervical stenosis is that any misalignment of the Atlas or cervical compression will impinge on the vagus nerve which travels through that area and also innervtes the heart.

And thank you, too...Shannon and Nancy - these were only part of the notes from the extensive interview - much was discussing dosage and other precautions that weren't appropriate to post here, but the the major point Dr. Lynch made is that it's harmful to patients when they are treated to the "flare" level and practitioners should proceed with cautionby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
David - if the Maxolon isn't designed to promote gastric cell proliferation and secretion of your own natural production, then I'd think it would just continue to compound your problem which is lack of stomach acid. Typically zinc is deficient and as mentioned, the vitamin B 12 is a casualty of the meds and without those, the body suffers. Scan the Methylation Dysfunction post aboutby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Methylation Dysfunction Since several afibbers have tested positive for the polymorphism or gene mutation, MTHFR, which tracks to methylation dysfunction, I thought it would be helpful to post notes from an interview on the topic of Methylation Dysfunction, causes and treatment precautions, especially because many of the signs and symptoms of methylation dysfunction are both common and highlyby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Louise - it's easy when you eat whole foods raw or lightly cooked that don't require a label to explain added chemicals.

Nancy - I'm pleased that your consult went well. The Strategy supplements probably aren't working for you because of your methylation dysfunction...although magnesium is always needed when the body is stressed as yours is and has been for so long. Try to continue with only that and be mindful of your potassium to sodium ratio. It seems strange that you have to be off the flecainidby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi David... Sorry to read about your ongoing woes. I've frequently read in discussions on gastric distress that those who take PPIs or acid blocker long term... (as you have) destroy the ability for your stomach tissue (cells) to make natural hydrochloric acid which is essential to breaking down food and nutrients for digestion and metabolism. Your regurg is not surprising as that'by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
It's not advisable to use aspirin along with nattokinase unless supervised by a knowledgeable practitioner. MK 4 has a short half life so the MK7 is the preferred form if you are looking to direct serum calcium into the bones and not into soft tissues like arteries. Eating leafy greens typically takes care of the K1 requirement. You can read more at the MenaQ7 website. Jackiby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
I recall attending a seminar offered many years ago to HC professionals at the Cleveland Clinic featuring Dr. Esselstyn. Dr. Esselstyn was then and is now very well-known for taking critically ill heart patients--too ill for heart surgical interventions and restoring their health and heart function through his very restrictive eating plan.

Thanks George. In your research, did you find support that resistant starch does not promote or support SIBO?

Smackman - As Shannon notes, it is important to keep up with your electrolytes...especially the magnesium as your extensive list of other Rx medications is undoubtedly depleting your magnesium faster than you can replete it without intensive supplementation which takes time to be effective.
