Anne - I'm sorry that I gave incorrect info about Dr. Hughes location. Obviously, I thought she was still in the Milwaukee area. I'll work on providing the details you've requested - hopefully, yet today. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello Brad - That was certainly a very scary experience for you. I can't imagine how alarming that was for you. I have some suggestions for helping you stay asleep but first wanted to ask if you had found the report from several years ago in the Conference Room Library collection... this one is CR 57 on LAF - A Case for Entrapment Just thought I'd mention it since you are talby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Pretty Kittay - Regarding George’s last reply to you on magnesium being depleted by stress: Definitely consider that deficiency as an underlying factor for facilitating the arrhythmia. Also, the anxiety factor plays right into that. Stress depletes magnesium and optimal magnesium inside heart cells is mandatory. Unfortunately and typically, the first medical response to anxiety is to prescby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello Anne - Welcome but sorry you are visiting us again. I refreshed my memory by finding your first report a year ago. This is harsh but after reading it again, it’s apparent that the doctors you consulted aren’t conversant about nutritional imbalances that can influence Afib; especially since you mention you started taking magnesium and the Afib improved. There can be other nutritional imbaby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Since we're on the very important magnesium topic, thought I'd post this as useful information. First is a fairly recent study by well-known magnesium researcher, Andrea Rosanoff, PhD, co-author and research associate of the late Mildred S. Seelig, MD, MPH and the book, The Magnesium Factor: How One Simple Nutrient Can Prevent, Treat, and Reverse High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Dby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Here's a good report on hyper-magnesia symptoms and that it is relatively uncommon in people with healthy kidneys Diarrheal symptoms are common with too much magnesium, but that's the body's natural process. Dr. Sircus explains: Toxic symptoms from increased magnesium intake are not common because the body eliminates excess amounts unless there are serious problems with kidby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Anti-Fib - while it's always preferable to get nutrients from food sources, with magnesium, it's difficult to get enough....that's one of the reasons why there are so many reports indicating that 80% of the population is found to be Mg deficient. Check these results from a search: And, as you have read here, it's also important to note that while this is commonly known,by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Alex... As a general guide for dosing with baking soda, Mike Adams, aka Health Ranger, and editor of Natural News suggests two ways for using baking soda. • Make a pH drink by combining two tablespoons lemon or lime juice with half a teaspoon of baking soda. After foaming has subsided, add 8-12 ounces of water and drink immediately. • Add one to two teaspoons of baking soda mixed with anby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Ralph - yes - sorry ask for a review of the details that make up the big picture....my thinking behind the questions was adrenal dysfunction... that would address the aldosterone issue and how it affects potassium which then, obviously, links to afib. You can have a blood test for adrenal function to determine if there is adrenal fatigue or 'burnout.' If you are found to be low,by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello Alex - Some time ago Erling offered an extensive post on this topic in the General Forum. I thought I remember it was 1/2 teaspoon twice a day along with a low sodium diet but when I scanned the article, I didn't see dosages and didn't have time to follow further. If you check some of the links and references and find an answer, please let me know. I had always been cby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Liz - The Limbex has good ingredients for muscle aches and arthritis pain. It does contain shellfish so if you are sensitive, that may be a contributor to your aura/migraines. With your sensitivities, I'd just continue as you are to limit the variety of supplements so that you are migraine free. I know those are awful. Take care and be well, Jackieby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hi Marsh - It's a logical question to ask, what's the best diet... or eating plan. Truth is, there are basic fundamentals that can be offered but much depends on the individual's uniqueness which would include heritage and genetics. What works for one, may be totally wrong or inadequate for another. Fortunately, today, there are dietary specialists educated to do the pby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Ralph - It's always good to question any potential connections that seem related to Afib or PACs, PVCs because while generally most of the advice offered here is based on general consensus, experience and biophysical scientific fundamentals, there is always the "individuality factor" in the mix. This type of awareness has tipped off many people to a unique circumstance happenby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Phill - I totally agree about the GF diet. There is substantial history by now proving that many ailments previously thought to be caused from another source, are actually reactions to gluten/gliaden sensitivities. Since virtually everyone is exposed to that at an early age, the problems compound dramatically with time because no one is suspect... or haven't been. Fortunately, in theby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Liz - First, what is you target? Bone support or joint/cartilage regeneration and support? If it's bones, then the TRF is the one to use. If mainly joints and cartilage, then... the Arthroben. I don't have either problem but use both as "preventive maintenance"...meaning I don't take the full recommended doses every day so that cuts down on the expense. I agree, tby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Excellent report, George. Congrats! Your persistent discipline in de-training has undoubtedly resulted in lowering the resultant inflammation from excessive exercise and with time, has facilitated reversal of the cardiac fibrosis – “as advertised.” Since it worked so well in conquering the AF, you certainly should have the best possible chance to avoid the potential gene expression you are aby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Shannon and Travis and his website expert! I can't begin to imagine the amount of hours spent and frustrations that go with transitions such as these but our new look is most impressive. Hat's off to you! It's great to have the new search engine 'power' directing new readers to a reliable source of Afib information and a wonderful start to the New Year.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Travis - Reversing unhealthy eating habits can be a challenge but not impossible by any means. It's a mindset that needs support through understanding the detrimental effects that occur by daily sabotage. It's often a grim reality thinking about the fact that you, alone, are responsible for what goes into your body and that you control what can influence your health or 'unhealthby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Tom - It’s likely a combination of deficiencies and imbalances that contribute to your PACs and while I doubt it is the CoQ10 since it’s so essential in the heart’s electrical stability, everyone is different so the best way to decide is to stop and re-introduce again at lower doses after you have ruled out other potential stimulators of the premature beats.

gmperf - yes... definitely, the body does need sodium....but nowhere near the amount typically consumed when eating fast food, processed food, junk foods, etc. and the ratio is extremely important. Here are a few selected clips from CR 72 regarding the importance of the ratio of potassium to sodium that every afibber and former afibber needs to understand thoroughly and implement: (it'by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Travis - I'll address your last comment first as it is most disturbing - regarding your low blood pressure and your doctor's permission to consume as much salt as you like..... because salt dominates over potassium... and you absolutely must get the ratio of K to Na in the healthy range if you ever expect to manage PACs/PVCs or Afib, for that matter.

Hi Suzy - What was the timing of the almond snack? Had you gone a long time since your last food intake? Were the almonds plain, raw or salted? Typically, when do you take the new supplements?
