The Adobe Springs water you reference in the subject has 3 mg Ca++/liter and 97 Mg++/liter (p 13 ). This was one of the waters Erling looked at when creating his Waller Water recipe PC, MD wrote on the topic on the Adobe Springs site As to the bicarb, in this thread from 2009, the bicarb in Waller Water in discussed.

For me, I would not drink because of the calcium. Doesn't mean that is a problem for everyone, but it is for me. I'm limit my Ca++ consumption by having no dairy. I don't track, nor do I eat processed foods with labels or eat out, but maybe 500 mg/day is my limit. Reading your linked case study, I'm not convinced I'd be sure it was the bicarb.

Great post! Thanks for sharing your experience and reinforcing the message to go to a very top EP. One of my best friends lives in Houston. I learned he had afib in 2014. In maybe 2015, he was long standing persistent and I insisted he go to Austin to Natale. He didn't understand. His local cardio didn't understand and said, "I'm sending you to the best guy in Houstoby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM

I'm clearly in the camp that LA from industrial seed oils is not good. What I haven't looked into is whether too much LA from EVOO or fresh walnuts, for example, is bad.

Very interesting! I'd much rather take Berberine as Amiodarone!! Looking at Table 1 from the paper. Most subjects had hypertension and many had CAD. In my book, most have metabolic syndrome.

Hey Betty, Not answering your questions, but another idea. Breathing. First, listen to this mp3, (click on "click to download here" download here ) and do what it says. Another breathing approach is "cadence" breathing. Specifically 5 1/2 to 6 breaths/minute. Through your nose. Doesn't have to be exact.
