Alex: In the article that Jackie posted, it says that small amounts of strontium that is naturally present in Organic supplements do not pose a problem So if that is what you have then there is no problem. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Cranberries sound like a good source of vitamins and minerals, taking calcium in a food is much different than taking a calcium supplement. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
I saw Dr. Brownstein last week, I asked him for a good vitamin K2-K7 and he said that he hasn't found one that he would sell. I did get a supplement called Nattovita, since I can't take aspirin with my predisone, he recommended the Nattovita. I note on the ingredients that it contains Menaquinone-7, 25 mcg.

"Knowledge is Power"---depends on the knowledge. We don't have years of testing on individuals that have quit eating any wheat products and have gone on a veggie diet, are they living any longer or have fewer health problems? Mark Hyman's diet includes meat, eggs, tofu, no wheat. Joel Fuhrman's diet advocates no meat or dairy, no wheat, limited nuts and beans, veggby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jackie: I do not have Celiac disease and I do not have problems with gluten , I do not eat a lot of wheat but do eat some rye and w. wheat and corn flours. In the summer I raise corn and when in season eat a lot of it, doesn't give me any gastric or any other problems.

Jackie: All of these doctors that I listed have different ideas about what to eat, why don't they all agree, that is what is confusing people. I agree with eating lots of veggies, nuts, beans, fruits and whole wheat and I will continue with that diet. I feel better when I eat some wheat products, I don't function as well on just veggies, some protein and nuts, maybe other people arby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Dr. Hyman, Fuhrman, Purlmutter and Davis are hyping on Public T.V, they are selling their wares, people that have health problems try everything, these people are preying on them. Hyman uses the Huffington Post, that speaks volumes, that isn't a reliable network If you don't want GMO grain, you can get organic, GmO free products, whole wheat grain has fiber and protein, there is tby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks George, I was beginning to feel like an orphan. My doc is on vacation this week so I will have to wait until next week, but your answer has helped alleviate some of my qualms. I just received a card in the mail from the device clinic, saying that the findings are in the normal limits. I didn't know that flutter is normal. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
I sent a tracing of my pacemaker to the pacer clinic at U of M, I spoke with the nurse that read the tracing. She said that I had some flutter in and out throughout my episode of AF (the last AF episode I had) I also was in and out of AF as well. She said I was in AF a total of 12 hours, I thought I was in about 17 hours, I took it from the beginning to the final time of my NSR. It was wheby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ron: Probably everything you buy, tomatoes, strawberries, vegetables, everything is sprayed, so if you are using not to eat wheat because of spray then you can't eat anything expect if you raise it yourself. Actually, I buy a bread that is made with Organic flour. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Steve: You eat raw cranberries, would cranberry juice be just as good (without sugar of course)? I too eat more protein (meat, eggs) and do not feel very many ectopic beats, if I do not eat very much meat, I will get a few ectopic beats. I am glad to see your post on Alkaline/acid, I have not believed all of what is posted on having our bodies too alkaline. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Well, if this "diet" is for you that is good, that doesn't mean that we all do better on Fuhrmans diet, we are not sheep that we follow one leader. Even in our AF journey we are not all the same, some can eat and do things without an episode of AF, some cannot. I do have some episodes of AF, I have since I first got AF in 1998, usually I can go about a least 2 months without anby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
John: Our bodies are made of 50% protein, this Fuhrman diet has hardly any protein. For me, without protein I don't have any energy, he also uses soy which is not good for us: by Mary Shomon It seems that there's isn't a newspaper, magazine or news program that hasn't recently featured a story on the amazing health benefits of soy food products and soy/isoflavone suby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Wheat is the product of a cross between 3 different grass species which is reputed to happened 10,000 B.C., since the beginning of civilization. Wheat has been found in pits where human settlements flourished over 8,000 years ago. In the British Museum you can see actual loaves that were made and baked in Egypt over 5,000 years ago. Americans love food demons, and our newest one is wheat.by Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Marg: Thank you for your response, I have been taking propafenone for many years, only take 1 tab. at night, I do have a pacemaker. I have had paroxysmal AF since around 1999, I used to convert back into NSR and that was that, I felt fine. Now, the fast heartbeat is a little scary, if the Ativan stopped it then it probably is the propafenone. I am waiting to hear from my EP Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
I had an AF episode yesterday, started around 9:00 a.m., I took one propafenone (125mg), drank a cup of ginger tea, went back to bed hoping I would convert shortly. Well, that didn't happen, I got up ate some breakfast, my AF wasn't too bad, it is reacting differently, when I sit my heart rate feels in normal rhythm, only when I get up and move around does it get in abnormal rhythm.

Most of us are very health conscience, we don't eat sugar and use supplements. Well, how about Warren Buffet, (most probably know who he is, he is one of the most wealthiest men in America), he says he drinks 5, 12 oz. cokes a day plus potato sticks and ice cream. I have seen pictures of him eating ice cream. HE Is 84 years old and very active, I believe some people just have more healthyby Elizabeth - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Todd: I am not saying that some vaccines have caused some health problems, however, so many diseases have been eradicated because of vaccines, smallpox, diphtheria, polio, these diseases killed many of our children in the early beginnings of our country.

Shannon; Thank you for your reply---- Dr. Lehmann wanted an ultrasound to rule out an aneurysm, I do not have that, the person that did the ultrasound showed me the pictures and said everything looked good, I didn't see my doctor after the ultrasound.

I had a C scan about 2 weeks ago of my pelvic area, they said I had calcification of my aorta. I had an appt. with my EP doctor last Wed., I took the report with me and he immediately ordered a ultra sound, the ultra sound showed my aorta to be clear, he showed the picture to me. My next door neighbor works with C scans and said that she would trust the C scan as to the accuracy, now that is woby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

A little over 2 weeks ago I had a Cat scan of my pelvic area---it was to determine if I had a fracture in my Sacrum (it was thought I did based on an X-ray i previously had), the C Scan showed that I did not but the radiologist said "Aortic Vascular Calcification" is noted.

Hi George: How long was your cat on it and did it help her---it seems to me that 4mg. is a small dose. I didn't know that about Prednisolone/prednisone, I wish doctors would write more clearly. That was a small cat. Lizby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Shannon: I came from my pharmacy with my script, the one that Dr. Brownstein wrote for me, his writing was not very clear, the pharmacist gave me Prednisone, what I had before from my Ortho was Prednisolone. My question are these different and should I not take the prednisone--what I have read in Dr Brownsteins book and in your post was to take Hydrocortisone, are these drugs all different.by Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Shannon: Thank you, my EP has wanted me to take a baby aspirin for years because of my AF episodes, nothing else, he did want me to take Coumadin but I couldn't take it so he said to take a baby aspirin. Doesn't sound as if it is prudent to take an aspirin as long as I am taking the Predisone/cortisol.
