Janet - most often the multi's will contain a form of the mineral or vitamin that are the cheapest to use but not necessarily the best in bioavailability or even one that works well. Like vitamin E may be the dl form of vitamin E or magnesium might be the oxide form. So often while these vitamins are less expensive than the next level or two up from there, you actually waste your money becby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have information on how this works - on my home computer... can't access it from here. In the case of the Albion process which is a unique chelation process - patented - the combining of the amino acid glycine and magnesium is a special result. And it does get into the blood quickly and easily. I can elaborate once I get home next week if you choose. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Johnny - there was a recent TV news special covering the rising costs of hospital services. Seems that some hospitals treat those with no insurance for free and then cover the costs by raising the fees charged to those who have insurance. The focus of this particular newscast was illegal aliens living and working in the US without medical insurance coverage but going to hospitals for treatmentby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Wade - Chirppractic manipulation. It's a physically pulling down of the muscle over a duration of several treatments until it stays repositioned. See the latest diaphragm post question by author, Sam. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Sam - I'm the one who posts frequently on the diaphragm issue. I had mine corrected by a chiropractor who is holistic and does a lot of kinesology, NET and other modification/healing techniques. I wrote about the diaphragm involvement and refrenced Steve Rochlitz, PhD, who also thinks the vagus is involved. The diaphragm should be in a normal anatomical location; when it becomes raisedby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Not all people with elevated lipids are overweight and some of the elderly who find lipid profiles elevated are not overweight but are frail, and unable to do much meaningful exercise. They still get statins. I agree it is much better to lose weight when needed and everyone should exercise daily.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Alan - there are many cardiologists out there that don't feel there is a need for the distinction of what type of afibber you are. Some just insist on prescribing a rote set of protocols...whether or not they are helpful. You may do better to locate an Electrophysiologist. These are cardiologists who focus on electrical disturbances of the heart and may cardiologists are totally ignorantby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
I really hate the marketing push Dr. Mercola uses on his website; but the fact remains, he's correct. Fish oils are extremely important for developing bodies and especially minds. ADD and related are often from deficiency in DHA the one component of Omega 3's. Doctors are starting to recommend Omega 3's for this purpose. I seriously doubt that what Dr. Mercola pushes is contby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Don - that's a wonderful report. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your story and success. Long may you enjoy NSR and live with passion! Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Nancy - yes to your question regarding sex bringing on afib. Several of us have experienced that. White flour? Could be gluten in the white flour or it could have been the sugar in the fudge. I'm betting it was the sugar in the fudge - bringing about a hypoglycemic event. The timing was just about perfect for that scenario. You're starting on a learning curve here to pick and chby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
It has been discussed in the past that weight lifting may reposition the diaphragm to such an extent that the muscle constantly impinges the vagus nerve. Depends on the crowding of muscle buildup and the position of the diaphragm. You may need to see a chiropractor to determine where your diaphragm is located. From time to time, people here have reported afib with weight lifting.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
This is just because the generic is cheaper and reduces revenue income although there is some indication that the Zocor is less potent than the Lipitor.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
An irritated vagus may be calmed by the anti-inflammatory effects of the ibuprofen..... finding out what irritated it in the first place would be key - like what do you eat consistently that creates the inflammatory response. Wheat (flour). Dairy? Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Well, it's not actually shocking when you consider we al have biochemical individuality. I tried on several occasions and it always brought on afib. Just my chemistry. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Matt - what about your magnesium intake? You need to have optimal magnesium intracellularly before you should take large amounts of potassium; otherwise it can worsen the afib. Do you take supplemental magnesium? The best form is magnesium glycinate as this form allows for larger doses without creating bowel intolerance. Always take at least 200 mg. magnesium glycinate before bed. Potassiby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Wade - seems you would definitely be vagal. Keep in mind that repleting the intracellular stores of magnesium and potassium takes time; in some people, it may take years or never... with the magnesium) if there is a constant drain on the pool. Also understand that too much potassium before magnesium intracellular stores are optimal may increase ectopics or afib. Use more Mg and less potassby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Pam - I've heard it mentioned that doctors don't really mind the influence of TV infomercials on drugs because it saves them time during appointments - the patients comes in and says they want it and they get the Rx. This is what informercials are all about - creating a demand through that marketing style.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
I'd try for the search using nattokinase and Karen as the entries.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Greg - that's great news that hawthorne works for you. It always increased my afib. It is frequently included in regimens said to help with arrhythmia and is probably worth a try but for new people trying it, be aware it may worsen the afib events. Hawthorne acts as a vasodilator so one would think it should be helpful. Best to you, Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
JRob - If you have that much of a sinus problem, then I'd look to your diet and start eliminating the predictable culprits - gluten containing foods, dairy are high on the list. Environmental allergies also cause sinus congestion and there are natural products to consider if you don't want to risk afib by taking the OTC products. You have to be the detective to figure out which theby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Bob - believe it or not.... only about 25 percent of genes influence longevity; and the other 75% account for chronic disease conditions that we are now treating to a large magnitude of expense. Both Linus and George must have been in that 25%. George who lived on martinis and cigars certainy was a marvel...or maybe it was all the young women! Jby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hans - as you say - there are no tests and there probably will not be because of vested interests; too late to turn back now. The world would not hear of it. This convenience is all too much a part of 'modern civilization'. Only time will tell if giving a child a cell phone to use regularly will offer him longevity or death of a brain tumor before age 30. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Adrian - yes we did and it is the increase of the ROS at the PV site as opposed to others that do not receive the blast of oxygenated blood at specific junctions.... but it's mainly the viscosity issue as mentioned in the CR post 40 - it's in two places - an intro and part 2.

Excellent response Dick. Echos my sentiments, exactly! Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Pam - just refer to the current comments by Dr. Abramson in my recent post "Caveat emptor" This statin push isn't going away anytime soon. It makes too much money for Big Pharma. The only recourse is to become educated and just say no to statins. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
