Erling - I wish you and others success in enlightening the public in the time you have left about the detrimental health effects of fluoridation. It's amazing how many people are totally unaware of the reasons why fluoride should not be in anyone's drinking water or consumed for any reason. Jackieby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Monty - I'm sorry that you continue to have these dental difficulties. A severe infection can take a long time to clear. The abscess forms at the tip of the root and depending on how long it brewed there before causing discomfort, the infection gets right into the surrounding bone. When they do the root canal, the infection then is often spread even farther into the surrounding bone. Aby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jill - Words can't express how very sorry I am to read about your recent experience. Doreen offers an excellent suggestion for you to be tested for all of the potential contributors to overly thick, sticky blood including those genetic factors for hypercoaguability. It seems odd that afibbers are rarely tested for those critical markers when they are initically diagnosed with afib. It shoby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Nancy - the current thinking is that doses of the K2 MK7 can be in the 200 mcg range. Reliable information from the expert researchers on vitamin K2 are Leon Schurgers and Cees Vermeer, both PhD's at the University of Maastricht,who are recognized as the leaders in the vitamin K field. You can go to the MenaQ7 website and click on the research links for reliable information based onby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
The ADA has admitted that fluoride does not slow or reverse the occurrence or prevalence of dental decay. There are numerous reliable and accurate websites that discuss those findings several of which were listed in the Fluoride's Deadly Secret thread. In my practice of dental hygiene, I worked in an offices with patients from a divided population... some with fluoridated municipal wby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Dr. Blaylock’s credentials speak volumes for his stature among peers and in the medical community.

Ah, George! Sigh. At least you totally understand the dynamics of the whole process. We can certainly learn from your experiments and I'm loving your success with ginger. Don't forget that when you break your routine with 'foreign' foods, you alter your pH and therefore your voltage which sets up the ectopics and potentially, AF.

Bob - that's very good news. Not entirely unexpected as taurine is often a missing element both from a dietary standpoint but also some supplement routines.. although here, we've been using the The Essential Trio for arrhythmia for a long time. Glad you decided to try it. Note that for some afibbers, arginine may be more of a trigger than a help. If you have continued bouts of AFby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Shannon - I'm sure we'll all be very interested in your reports. Happy New Year to you, too. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
RonB - I can't imagine why the recommendation to avoid taurine since it's an essential amino acid..... very helpful for many ailments especially heart-related. In the book by Eric Braverman, MD, The Healing Nutrients Within, Chapter 8 is entirely about taurine and arrhythmia has a subcategory. One of the early holistic MDs I saw commented that when treating arrhythmia, think taurineby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank you, Erling, for posting this link… this entire presentation is definitely worth viewing.

Hi Nancy M - I, too, listened to Dr. Carrow's talk-radio health program... he was definitely a leader in the natural health movement. Deborah Ray is still active... check out her website Alliance for Natural Health USA. You can sign up for her e-news reports.

Recently, two former afibbers that had some activity found that adding taurine made a huge difference in stability. The following clips and posts serve as a reminder that Taurine is one element of the Essential Trio. Additionally, a reminder to be very mindful of the Potassium-to-sodium ratio is the lynchpin of the electrolyte solution. (CR 72).

Nancy - I was a mixed afibber… but tended to be mostly vagal…however on occasion, I’d have a late afternoon event. I learned eventually that it related to two things… hypoglycemia from running out of fuel during a grueling work schedule…and not enough sustaining food at lunch to carry through to the evening meal at 6 – 7. I worked by appointments and often there was no time to grab a snack.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Gill – Young at heart. My octogenarian friends tell me at age 76 that I’m still a kid. ; ) I love the progress you’ve made with a healthy lifestyle. Anything you can do to maintain anti-inflammatory effects will serve you well. Be well, Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Gill - You can go higher than 6,000 and that's often recommended in stubborn cases. Test when you can and just keep up your preventive regimen. As I mentioned, a key issue is the quality of the NK product. In recent years, many cheap, imposter versions flooded the market and there was a patent infringement etc. so the CardioKinase is the best choice by far. That's a long story.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Gill – I neglected refer back to that other recent post on fibrinogen and the comment about Cardiokinase being more potent and more reliable from of NK. That’s another option before trying the Bolouke. I've read that many NK products do not measure up to the potency labeled and therefore are ineffective. Sometimes hidden pathogenic bugs are hidden in protective biofilms which may not be brby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
George - since your HR is up slightly, have you checked your Bp as well? (as referenced in the finding that the shogaol content of dried ginger is known to increase Bp)... since you experimenting, it would be useful to know if your Bp is also affected. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Gill - I'll study what you've presented. The opinions on elevated fibrinogen is that something that drives it - a pathogen? and that not all NK products are 'created equal.'.... In stubborn cases, Bolouke is recommended as it is the most powerful and effective product... but it's expensive by comparison to NK. Why not first trying the 6000 daily and be retestedby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Ron - as you progress with your gluten-free project, you'll become considerably more discriminating on various food intake and risk taking. Just eliminating the silent inflammation that is promoted by gluten proteins and the GI irritation that accompanies is well worth the effort. I've been strictly gluten-free for about 5 years and would never consider going backwards. In a receby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi George... glad it's organic and hopefully USDA certified as you don't want to be consuming any ginger made from roots grown in China and risk adding those toxic substances from their earth and water. I've mostly used organic ginger root grown in Hawaii if available. Quite often, the capsules have ginger from China. As usual, the use of ginger for afibbers is undoubtedly higby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Reminder: Soy may cause AF This is a repeat caveat about soy and the potential to cause arrhythmia as well as thyroid problems which can then be related to AF.

Good for you, George. That's a great testimonial. Do you buy organic ginger powder or whatever is available at the grocery store? There are other benefits with ginger as well.

Nancy - I can really appreciate your comments on anxiety. My solution was to use L-theanine and Bach Flower Rescue Remedy because I didn't want to go the drug route so I could stay functional during the day.
