Marian - Thanks for posting this. Great find. Back when I was consulting with Dr. N over 3 years ago, he said the goal in technology was just what is reported here .... operator-friendly equipment so the less experienced EPs could also do ablations. That topic was also a major focus during the AF summit I attended in '04...so I'm delighted to see this now becoming a reality. Thby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Peggy/aka Sherlock! I just didn't have more time yesterday to get back into the search areas. I have now copied the link and placed it in my current computer files in case I need to remember where it is again. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carol - touchup ablations are always mentioned as part of the total program at the CCF....or at least they were for me and several others with whom I compared notes. I understood from the start that a touch up might be required after the waiting period. At Bordeaux, I recall reading they want you to stay on longer after the original ablation and will do a touch up almost immediately if needed.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Lois - good for you! Grass fed, organic beef is the healthiest you can get. Unfortunately, here in Ohio where we do have an Amish community, the food police are cracking down and prosecuting such contractural arrangements to buy a dairy cow or a beef steer and have it held on the farm for personal use. I hope that practice doesn't spill over into your area. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Great report, Dean. I have the book but haven't made much progress in reading, unfortunately. Now after your post, I'm motivated to pick it up and begin again. Much to contemplate, for sure. Regards, Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Lois - Cardiologist, Stephen Sinatra has recommended eating heart for the Q10 value especially in patients who can't afford CoQ10. He also recommends abundant consumption of wild salmon as it also contains CoQ10. Apparently, cooking does not diminish it significantly although there are mixed opinions as to how much is actually in beef heart. The mitochondria in cells store the CoQ10 anby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Marian - I know what the normal pH scale is but the neutral foods for metabolizing to the acid or alkaline ash residue left after metabolizing are listed as 4.0 on the reference I have...a scale of alkaline to neutral to acidic....with 7.5 being extremely alkalinizing and .05 at the other end being extremely acidic..I should have clarified that it does not indicate the actual (chemical) alby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

The address I had bounced. Here's the post from back in 2006 Scroll down to RobertJ and try to communicate with him because I believe David communicated directly with him about the formula. Sorry for the confusion. Jackie <;by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Susan - this is the conundrum. Many of the multi's - while inexpensive - are just money wasted (and so are very expensive by comparison) when you consider they often have little or no therapeutic value. I think you have to decide what it is you are attempting to accomplish by taking a multi. If you want a vast array of nutrients to meet many needs then it is impossible to get all thoseby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Bob - I subscribed to this letter about 12 years ago and cancelled my subscription because the information in it was simply too generic to be useful for my needs which was information coming from more indepth study of which forms of vitamins are actually functional in the finer points of biochemical/functional/nutritional medicine.

Hang in there, Nancy.... hopefully, you'll find some answers with the diagnostics. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Nancy - foods metabolize to either an acid or alkaline ash. I wrote back in 2002 about the importance of alkaline pH. You may find that back in the archives. I may have saved the post. Have to look. But, the idea is this: Proteins, grains, starches, sugars for instance - all metabolize to acid ash. Most (not all) fruits and veggies metabolize to alkaline ash. Some foods are neutral -by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
In response to this - magnesium glycinate by Albion process is designed not to break down in the stomach but rather in the pH enviornment of the small intestine where it is rapidly assimilated into the blood stream from there. This is a patented, scientific process and not something that can be judged by the glass of water because many are enteric coated. Meaning they break down in the small inby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Nancy - anything that is a simple carbohydrate (as opposed to Complex ) turns to sugar (glucose) almost immediately upon ingestion. This, then, requires insulin to manage it in the body. Flour and sugar are both examples of a simple carb. When simple carbs are eaten frequently, more and more insulin is required to help metabolize. In some cases, other factors enter into glucose handling - ofby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Ed pH has always been a concern in health and this is just another point for the importance of remaining systemically alkaline. There is a form of breathing I posted several years ago - Buteyko Eucapnic breathing that helps keep the body alkaline and may also help to accomplish the alignment. (you can google that term).

David S from Australia also figured out how to use magnesium hydroxide since he could ot get the unflavored MoM. A few BB's back, he posted his formula. In the early discussions once WW came out, PC recommended adjusting the pH of the WW with lemon juice as he felt it created too much bicarbonate (I believe) and would eventually cause a wasting of potassium. As long as one adjusts the pby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Cardiologist Steven Sinatra, MD, includes hawthorne in his cardio supplements. Perhaps it is the amount that can be harmful when taken in doses beyond what is smart or safe. I tried his brand and found it increased afib. Tried others; same thing. However, I've often seen Hawthorne included in many heart therapeutics by reputable companies.
