Nancy M - the heart palps most likely were not because of the oxide, itself, but because Tom and Nancy were low on overall magnesium intake... thinking that the dosing (as labeled) offered them sufficient magnesium intake. However, as we know, magnesium requirements vary from day to day and taking a set amount isn't always going to optimize the IC stores and produce the results we expeby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Sam - In the past, I have used PIP successfully for years when my heart would feel unsettled and I only used small doses...such as 25 or 50 mg Flec at the very first hints of missed beats or irregularity. When I would wake up in outright AF... then I'd do the full PIP protocol with both the beta blocker and the higher dose of 100 - 150 mg of Flec which would typically work in 60 - 90 mby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks, Larry... Revolting. I always watch labels for citric acid to be sure I avoid the corn derived product, but I had no idea about the rest of the story. This is very important information and is obviously why Nancy M definitely doesn't tolerate citric acid.... as though any of us should be ingesting it intentionally!!!! Important head's up. When I think of citric acidby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Denver - Your comments remind me of my observations with my dental hygiene patients and happenings in with their medical histories over a span of 20+ years. I had many occasions to hear about their reactions to steroids prescribed for all sorts of ailments. Even light doses seem to cause complications in certain individuals. For short-term use, it didn't seem to be as much of a concby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Shannon - I believe the point Bill and I along with others are making here is not that 8 or 10% oxide is an interference, it's that until recently, labeling didn't indicate an inclusion of MgO at all... in the amino acid chelated Albion labeled products... until the bottlers started adding the word, "buffered" to the label and in the description included the magnesium oxide bby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Good for you, John. I wish you well both with the procedure outcome and continuing with your weight loss. Remember that as outlined in The Strategy, post ablation, you still need to keep up with the essential core nutrients that support heart electrical conduction stability. Be aware also that optimizing intracellular magnesium continually helps reverse cardiac fibrosis so it's an ongoingby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Reminder of this 2006 publication regarding the use of taurine to eliminate arrhythmia by George Eby, MS and William Halcomb, DO Elimination of cardiac arrhythmias using oral taurine with L-arginine with case histories: hypothesis for nitric oxide stabilization of the sinus node Abstract We searched for nutrient deficiencies that could cause cardiac arrhythmias , and found literatureby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Josiah - I don't recall that it has been a topic but as the report you reference indicates, the response can influence arrhythmias... as it is an inflammatory response...so that connection makes sense. There are various anti-histamine approaches as allergy treatments which block histamine or leukotrienes, the pro-inflammatory compounds responsible for allergic symptoms, but this approachby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank you, Bill for taking the time to help clarify this label obfuscation for us. Hopefully, and after the litigation dust settles, we will be able to rely on labels to tell us the oxide content. It will be interesting to see the results and hopefully, we all will get the results we expect from a more pure product. Be well, Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Another important reminder for benefits of using Taurine and to have some on hand at all times.

It’s been a concern of mine and most likely others who are using anticoagulants…and that’s the topic of how much Omega 3 fish oils can we safely consume? Before Eliquis, I took 6 grams of Omega 3’s a day. Since I was not sure about the combined effect and I didn't learn what I would call informative responses from doctors, I cut back to 2 grams a day and after a couple months, Iby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Yes, Liz - take time to read the entire Taurine collection starting with the original post 11 years ago so you gt the whole picture.

Gary – (and all new readers)… You may want to consider reading through these past posts on Taurine. There are several, starting with the original… What about Taurine? from 11 years ago.

Rick - if you do use yogurt...be sure it is plain (no sugar added) and full fat. Otherwise, the carb content is counterproductive to stabilizing blood sugar. If you can add something fatty to the plain yogurt, that helps offset the carb content which is typically fairly high in yogurt. Add coconut oil or almond butter. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Rick - if you do have hypoglycemia issues, then the remedy for that during the night is to eat a protein and healthy snack before bed...about 2 hours. That can help you sustain the drop in blood sugar that can be an AF trigger. So... don't be in a hurry to eliminate the bedtime snack...just make sure it doesn't contain carbs.

Sam - you might want to consider adding some salt ...small amounts at a time and then observe to see if you start to get relief from the low blood pressure. If you have negative results.. .you can always take some potassium to counteract the sodium... but I know several people with low Bp who were helped by adding small amounts of sodium regularly.

Rick - since you have spread sheets going... take the time to calculate and record the amount of 1) carbohydrate of each juicing ingredient and 2) the glycemic load of each ingredient.

Rick - on the fresh juice... is it from organic produce? Is it more sugary fruits than veggies? If you consume inorganic produce in large quantities as in juicing, the accumulations of pesticides can be reactive in your body... and if it's a lot of high glycemic load fruits... such as bananas or other more fruit that is sweeter, then you actually have to pull out stored magnesium and poby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Barb - I certainly want to know from the TEE what the clearing velocity number actually is. If it's extremely low, then it would be important knowledge to decide to be on Eliquis for life or plan for the next step which would be the Atri-Clip or whatever other safe, effective measure Dr. Natale feels is the best approach.
