Susan: I bought this Vit. C on the recommendation by Jackie (posts here), I have been taking it the last few days, read about it on their site, sounds pretty good. One packet delivers 1,000 mg of the liposomal C. The substitution equivalencies (Lipo C equivalent to C as ascorbic acid 1,000 mg = 3,000 – 4,000 mg powder 2,000 mg = 8,000 – 10,000 mg powder 3,000 mg = 1by Elizabeth - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
I don't think this is all hype----Italy has had many deaths, of course China has as well, we are getting more people dying in this country. It is just common sense to avoid large crowds, get tested if you have symptoms, stay home if you are sick. It doesn't help anyone to just say "oh this is just hype" and "hysterics" it is always wise to be prepared and to listeby Elizabeth - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Susan: I can't get your google article, I see just a little of It and it goes blank. Anyway, nothing to do with sanity we have to be vigilant do what we have to do to keep from contracting the virus. The president has closed travel to Europe as well, the Chinese should have allowed us and others to help when they first contracted the virus, it would not have gone as far as it did.

Jackie: Thank you for your response. But, I have to repeat my concern is not because I have a soy sensitivity, it is only because I have read that soy can interfere with the uptake of the thyroid hormone so I have just avoided it. I am taking the Lipo C, but I am taking it around 4 hrs. away from taking my thyroid med., I want to be able to take this Vit. C as it sounds really great and I thby Elizabeth - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Jackie: Soy is included as a Goitrogen as is cabbage, (cruciferous) we are told not to eat a lot of these because they interfere with the uptake of the thyroid hormone. I am not allergic to soy it is because of the warning that people with a thyroid problem should not over consume these Goitrogens. You have said in the past that you do have a thyroid problem so I am sure you know about notby Elizabeth - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Jackie: I bought the liposomal Vit. C from Livonlabs, it came today and I took a packet, it is different. The ingredients say that the phospholipids are derived from Soy, I didn't know that before, I don't know if that will affect my thyroid. You said you are taking it has it affected your thyroid?

I read this on Drudge, the woman did not give any ingredients. But, you are correct a lot of these energy drinks have a lot of caffeine in them, I remember reading about a few deaths from these so-called energy drinks many years ago and as I recall the drink was 'Red Bull".

Does Dr. Natale and the doctors at St. Davids do all kinds of heart surgeries? After the Echo that I had prior to my failed cardioversion showed that I have a severe Regurgitation of my Tricuspid Valve, Dilated Annulus and Normal leaflets. If one is not affected, I guess nothing is done, I will be going for the 3 day hospital stay for the Tikosyn and cardioversion in about a month and a half (hby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
This man drank an energy drink every day, he was in good health, did not drink or smoke was only in his 40s. I am leery about some of these claims about supplemens, energy drinks etc. A California widow is convinced her husband was killed by his once-a-day energy drink habit — claiming a doctor told her they are “like playing Russian roulette with your life,” according to an interview.by Elizabeth - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Fib I was told in their experience Tioksyn did a better job of keeping their patients in NSR. This is from the U of Michigan hospital. I will see if it converts me and for how long. Glad you are in rhythm, great that we have Dr. Natale. Lby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

I am not completely asymptomatic, walking a lot, going up stairs I do puff (which I never did). I also am not doing all the work that I will be doing when the weather warms up (Gardening, lawn etc.) . But, hopefully I will convert on Tikosyn/cardiovertion, I will give it a try.

I met with the NP from my EPs office for a consultation. I went over the 2 drugs Tikosyn and Flec., she said that Tikosyn is the better drug to hopefully convert me, of course it means a hospital stay and If I don't convert with the drug then they will cardiovert me. So, I said I didn't want to do that right now because of the Coronavirus, I said I would wait until the middle of Apriby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

George: Yes, I took Propafenone for many years, but I only took it at bedtime, that drug is supposed to be taken every 8 hours. My doctor said to take it only at bedtime as I got my episodes around 4:00 to 5:00 a.,m. I don't think that drug ever did much for me as I took it before bed and yet a few hours later I got AF, but I always converted on my own. I will try one of those drugby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
George, you took Flec. as a pill in the pocket---I wouldn't mind taking Flec if I could take it for a short time and then stop it and use it as a pill in the pocket. I don't think Propafenone has very much beta blocker in it, but I will say that I once split the 150mg. and added that to my regular dose of 150 mg. and it affected me greatly, I could hardly walk from room to room as I waby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Susan: You said you were AF free for 5 years, did you take Flec. during those 5 years? I wouldn't want to lay in bed not being able to sleep, I would rather just stay as I am---my AF is not bad now and all I take is Xaralto. Tennormin is the beta blocker that I was given years ago that caused me a 1st degree heart block, (25mg). Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carey: My heart rate even in AF right now is usually in the lower 60s I don't want or need a rate control drug, so I guess it will be Tikosyn, so thanks to everyone. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
HWK. I don't like Beta Blockers because when I first got Afib, the doctor put me on a Beta Blocker, (I don't think I even had a high heart rate). After few weeks on it I was so tried I could hardly walk very far (that was 20 years ago), I felt lousy. Then when coming out of AF my heart rate dropped to almost a flat line and I almost would black out. Went to an EP and I had to haveby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carey: Thanks, the EP that I started seeing at U of M mentioned Tikosyn which requires me to spend 3 days in the hospital. I would rather not have to do that, I thought I have read on here that Flecainide required a stay at the hospital. So you have to take a beta blocker every time you take Flecainide? I wonder what would the mg. be, I don't like beta blockers, so maybe my best bet wby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
If you had a choice between taking Tikosyn or Flecinide which would be your choice? I guess they both require a 3 day hospital stay and they both can have some nasty side affects. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
