Ron - I asked Dr. Natale that when I resumed the NK shortly after my ablation in 2003. He said "No"... because the ablation success depends on destroying the electrical connections between the gap junctions to prevent cell-to-cell-to cell communication and does not rely on the 'scar' itself. When thinking about how nattokinase actually works, it reduces the formationby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello Paul... I have several observations for you which I'll send along shortly, but I wanted to comment initially that I have a considerable amount of experience dealing with thyroid issues... mine were mainly hypo... but once I began working on the nutritional aspect of thyroid support along with Armour thyroid hormones, I became very close to 'hyper'...and noticed that it did aby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for this link, Todd - My current research focus mainly on Brain Health as I have watched two friends slip into dementia starting in their 60's.... and progress to the point where one has Stage 7 Alzheimer's Disease at age 68 and the other,also 68, with severe memory impairment that is worsening rapidly - now in 'day care' and on the list for permanent residency.

McHale – just to clarify… I’m not against ablations. I had a Natale ablation in 2003 and I feel fortunate to have benefited from his skill. However, as I mentioned in the other post, ablations do nothing to prevent inflammation or thick, sticky blood and risk of stroke or MI… or prevent any other adverse health consequences that occur because of poor dietary, lifestyle and environmental influeby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
John - I use the combo potassium bicarb as well.... not to the quantity that George does so I just use capsules of potassium bicarb that contain 300 mg each and find it complements the alkalizing effects of the WW that are so important.

Tom - Res ipsa loquiter. The thing speaks for itself. No where in my Alert did I suggest that anyone stop using flecainide....but rather ... change to the other drug. My alert is so that afibbers can be aware they are adding a known poison to their body. There are other choices and if a person cares about that, then they can switch to Rythmol. If not, then that's their choicby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
McHale - The question is not whether Flecainide is effective. It worked fairly well for me for years. The point of discussion is that it breaks down to an undesirable, known poison in the body... which then actually poisons critical pathways that hearts need for function. Quite possibly, some individuals are affected more than others because of iodine deficiency which is related.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
One of the most easy, non-invasive beneficial exams your healthcare practitioner can do when listening to your heart with a stethoscope (auscultation) and it only takes a few seconds more, is check each side of your neck in the carotid artery area. Sounds there called Bruits sounds (brew–ee) and can indicate carotid stenosis or blockage. Variations in the sounds may be indicative of other abnby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Once again – check the labels if you use an OTC cold or allergy medication as some ingredients can cause arrhythmia. My son (who is not an afibber) took Walmart’s house brand Cold and Multi-symptoms “Equate” – two doses as directed and ended up with horrendous pressure around his heart. Said he felt so wired and terrible...as if he had consumed 20 cups of caffeinated coffee and felt awful.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Tom - I'm late in reading your news. So sorry for your experience. One thing I've always done for dental injections if I need them... is tell office ahead of time to mark my chart...No Epi.. and then when the dentist has the syringe in hand and ready to deliver .... I put my hand right in front of my mouth and say... are you very sure this has no Epi? It may be annoying to tby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Tom - Did you read my introductory post. I ended with the dental comment. I feel betrayed by the dental profession in that they bought into the brainwashing that fluoride is a safe thing to add to the body. I feel ashamed that I contributed to a cumulative toxic burden of young children who had no choice but to receive fluoride treatments. I feel angered that that my college training for DHby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Ron - I do know of the Klinghardt method... and if you have access to a practitioner who has abundant experience with it and can give you examples of his/her successes and actually have you contact those people, I'm always open to that.

Hello Gay - I'm sorry to read about your latest aneurysm news. Do some reading about the connection to aneurysms and copper deficiency.

I. INTRODUCTION – THE SCIENCE Part 1… Connecting the dots…. Fluorine is used to compound flecainide acetate, the Class Ic Antiarrhythmic drug frequently prescribed for atrial fibrillation.

I have a confession and a deeply embarrassing one, at that. Long-time forum readers know my passion for avoiding unhealthy pitfalls in foods, water, environment and medical practices because of my past history of being misled multiple times by the medical profession and being harmed as a result. I vowed never, ever to be un-informed again. So, how I let this slip by with nary a red flag oby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Ron - There have been numerous posts on the toxicity of mercury related to arrhythmia. The one thing that you need to know is if you have the mercury/amalgam filllings removed, it's important to have it done by a biological dentist who practices safe removal procedures which includes a special air evauction system so you (and the dentist) don't inhale the fumes as the drilling takesby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Louise... My experience is that I always knew when I was in Afib because it was unconfortable and fairly debilitating. On occasions when I would transition from afib to a-flutter... I noticed that was much more tolerable and I was able to function quite well. I do know people who can't detect their Afib at all without some form of a diagnostic tool. I also learned that some cardioloby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hi Monty - I'm certainly sorry to see that you're continuing to have trouble. The inflammatory factor is most likely at play when the dental procedures stir up bugs and they react.

Hi Dean - I've always said that having AF is a blessing in disguise... since those of us who really get into the nutritional and lifestyle changes can't help but correct other potential health interferences as a result.
