I'm also interested to learn of personal statin experiences. Potavostatin is said to reduce inflammation, decrease insulin resistance (others increase it?)by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quoterocketritch Given my druthers I would prefer RF over cryo. If your only triggers were PV. And they new that going in then maybe. But they don't so RF IMHO is the better choice. Agreed! The EP i saw told me that the first ablation is cryo. So i asked him what if the triggers are away from the PVs? Didn't get a good answer. He just said that the majority of AF is triggered aroundby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Great to read your post and your SILs experience Thank you!by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteJackie Do a topic search here for posts on K2 MK7. There are many and with lots of good information. The point is that when you begin optimizing vitamin D3 intake or if you would test (25 OHD test) and have a naturally high level, then you need to balance that out by taking the form of Vitamin K2 - Menaquinone 7 - which helps direct circulating calcium into bones (where it belongs) anby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
There is something about vitamin C that seems to do amazing things treating infections in combination with other drugs/vitamins. It is so disheartening to listen to some of these up themselves medicos boohooing it because there is not a 'proper' trial or literature (they agree with) known to them.by Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Isn't the half life of Eliquis 12 hours? So, if one takes them 2x/day. 1. 5mg in system 2. 5mg + 2.5mg in system 3. 5mg + 2.5mg + 1.25mg in system and so on My thinking is, with all that accumulation missing one seems not that big a deal?????by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Have listened to others who are carnivores (Joe Rogan for one). Sounds interesting and very beneficial for some phenotypes. Do wonder what it will do long term? Thinking of gut biom/diversity and it's long term health implications.by Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hope your ablations continue to hold! BTW, your link doesn't work but it got me to google Dr Chen. Looks like he produced a lot of research.by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for the link, Lance!by Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Quotecirenepurzalot Thanks Susan and Carey! If anyone has actually tried it let me know how you did.... That is, if you're still alive. But, if you're not alive, I guess you wouldn't be reading this thread. Hmmm, how do you know?by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteGeorgeN {edit} this is the modified citrus pectin I take <? Hmm, wonder if drinking one whole lemon every morning would help in a similar way to modified citrus pectin? I've been vitamizing 1 lemon with water every morning for the last 6/8 months and drinking it.by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM

Don't consume/expose to anything that increases heart rate by more than 15 BPM (except for exercise) as George mentioned in another thread (valid once we establish what our normal resting heart rate is).

While Steve Carr found the solution or even cure for his AF with high D3 and low Ca he is also eating a 'paleo' diet which i think is low fructose??? Anyway, this podcast by Peter Attia is bowing my mind: how it relates to other health problems we face on our western diets.by Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Great links, Mike! Further support that Steve is onto something. Would be good to know the genetics/genotype that goes with that apart from the one gene mentioned. Suspect there are usually several genes involved for conditions to be expressed? Shouldn't be too difficult for smart IT people and scientists to find a pattern? But who would be interested in funding such research apart fromby Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Can recommend Arthur Coca's book George mentioned. Simple, effective and reliable and cheap to do. Finding the discipline to act upon the BPM results is another story. Often (in my case) it's food i actually like. Appreciate the reminder George and the added bonus news re sleepby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hmm, i can see your dilemma. FWIW i would go with your local EP because he knows you better than the NP (in case Natale isn't talking to him directly). For myself, i just reduce when i think it's reasonable regardless of what they are telling me but bearing their advise in mind. It's my body, it's my risk either way. In my case, the doctors will generally err on the safe sideby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Probably not a good idea to stop ant-coagulation drugs at this point? Why not switch to another one and see?by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Good to know, George. Thanks! Just by chance i began to add potassium citrate in my distilled drinking water. (not a fan of fluoride in our drinking water since my TSH is a bit too high and my T3 is on the low side)by Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
whiteheaven, could be something (food/smell etc) your body is reacting to as well (allergy type thing) I got up to 180 once just sitting down. Turned out that it was my thymol mouth wash. Stopped using the stuff and my BP went back to normal.by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Very interesting, Susan. Appreciate your personal insight!by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Perhaps to keep in mind that they are not all produced to the same standards. Suppose it depends where/who makes them?by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotewindyshores Thanks all! I have seen three cardiologists. I had a CHADS score of 1 until I turned 65. None of the docs at this point are pushing blood thinners, though this episode in the past week is MUCH closer to the last one. Until now, my episodes were every 3 years, then once a year. My blood pressure runs low normally. So I don't take daily meds. I tried some diltiazem thisby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quoteanneh I see, so is there a relationship between glucose tolerance and clogged arteries? Total cholesterol is relatively meaningless. Glucose tolerance without checking insulin response over a few hours can be misleading. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Dr Bernstein says so unless i completely misunderstood what he says in his book. Best check for yourself, it's also an interesting read (atby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM

Why eliminate avocados/nuts/oils (as long as they are natural/cold pressed and not rancid bearing omega3 to 6 ratio in mind as well) Have you checked your glucose tolerance at least your first phase insulin response???by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Looks like a good compromise would be a caveat by the moderators included in Steve's post. Not trying to be a SA, the forum isn't a democracy, is it? Nevertheless it is an immensely helpful resource and of great comfort and hope for new afibbers - at least it was for me, For myself, i don't care where posts end up because i look at all new posts.by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
A quick search shows that it has not come up here? Note the last paragraph (take home message)by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
