Wonderful, Bob - Keep going. You'll feel better and better as you continue to make progress. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jim Im just the messenger passing along information that was channeled to me ie, the smoking tooth and the IAMOT organization. Regarding your comments on the health of people in your practice, I, too, have known many people who had amalgams removed and felt better afterwards. Were they telling the truth? I have no idea. Perhaps after spending all that money to replace them, they dareby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Wow - now we have beer and red wine to add to our daily mix of important preventive measures. Clink clink! Cheers! Sounds great to me. Love both but beer has gluten so I'm abstaining. : (by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ginger - Sorry that your treat didn't turn out as you expected. Even though they say they don't use MSG, the labeling on additives these days enables MSG to be included without being identified...especially so in sauces that will have a variety of 'natural seasonings and flavorings'. So you got it from all angles, sodium, msg etc. Additionall, on your MVP comment - if yby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Happy Birthday, Sue ... I'm really pleased that taurine made the difference for you. Much is written about the value of taurine and not just for afib. When I first discovered it through George Eby's website a number of years ago, I was very impressed and found it helped me tremendously and I wish my results were as successful as yours. Enjoy your celebration. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Bill - Ouch. Sorry to hear that. I've read frequently that magnesium helps to neutralize excessive calcium. Did they tell you what form the stone was? As I recall, you need to know the form to treat with the appropriate nutrient. Do you take additional calcium or eat alot of dairy? I know George uses potassium citrate to keep his stone risk at bay. I'm sure he'll offer hiby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have no experience with the lactate form...only the glycinate which is the chelated version and the one with which I and most afibbers have had the greatest success. With the lactate, as with any form, it becomes important to know the absorbability or bioavailablity of the form. For instance, magnesium oxide will have a high elemental magnesium content, but is not at all absorbable. However,by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Benj - There are many studies now indicating the importance to take vitamin K2 when using warfarin....with medical supervision.... to avoid the risk of both osteoporosis and calcification of blood vessels and aorta. You can check this on PubMed. Hans covers this topic thoroughly in the September Afibber's report. Vitamin K1 from food sources is only minimally bioavailable and functions dby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Bob - thanks - probably my magic fingers again thinking without my brain attached. Cheers! I'm all for a nice glass of red wine myself! Jackie Isabelle - I heard somewhere that the benefits of drinking wine could be accomplished with no-alcohol wine but grape juice wasn't mentioned...however that was from the resveratrol and polyphenol aspect.

Emmie - can you locate any L-theanine there? It's an amino acid that helps with internal calming - something you could take as a preventive measure for yourself on these days. Sorry for your situation. That's a difficult thing for everyone. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
A small, randomized, crossover study of 80 healthy men and women found that consumption of one glass of red wine (150 ml) a day would reduce plasma viscosity significantly.

Jude - Skinny ankles are always in style! Why not just try a bit of celtic sea salt - something natural - nothing refined...and see what happens. I haven't researched Cardizem and this salt/potassium topic at all. Be sure you read my latest post on ribose and also the other one last week or so on Stress, Insomnia etc. Low levels of serotonin are related to insomnia. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Adding fuel to the fire..... View the smoking tooth video. The IAOMT is a membership organization for dental, medical and research professionals who seek to promote mercury-free dentistry, and raise the standards of scientific biocompatibility in dental practice.

Justine - when you replace sodium with more potassium, this causes the cells to give up water that is typically retained by sodium. In your case, you may have been holding onto water because of the sodium...hence the big pee as it is released. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Kagey - sorry about your beloved cat. 21 years is a nice long life but it still brings tears to my eyes when I think about losing a pet. I've been there so many times that I dread thinking about it. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
George - regarding this: "Probably because in most diets, Na and Cl are together. Somebody stumbled onto reducing "salt" in the diet & saw a reduction in BP. Then they just "assumed" it was the Na. There also are no significant sources of Cl in the diet (that I know of) other than NaCl." Chloride is mainly obtained from table salt or sea salt, which is primaby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jim - here's another thought - This came from Jacob Tietelbaum's website at this location ¤ Allergies Do you have sneezing, itchy red eyes, and nasal congestion with a runny nose? If so, you likely have allergies. Although allergies can sometimes be effectively treated with medications, natural treatments can be as or more effective.

Gay - I have some thoughts but need some time to pull together some information for you. As a start, you should give up all gluten as any sensitivity to it will just add to the antibody burden. The taurine, magnesium and potassium are great for the arrhythmia, but may not do much for the PRM. I've seen patients with PRM the prednisone and while it helps with symptoms, it just serves to mby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
We've talked about mercury/amalgam fillings in the past, and if you haven't kept up with this news, it's worth visiting the website listed here and expecially listening to the audio clip from the Deborah Ray show with the attorney for the Consumer's for Dental Choice advocacy group.

Jim - you may want to check out the Bioron line of homeopathic products. The one I'm thinking of is Boiron Homeopathics Allergy Remedies Sabadil 60 tabs. Bioron is the brand of homeopathic that many people found useful to take at the onset of afib and found it stopped the events... this particular one was Oscillococcinum. I can't guarantee you will be safe from any interaction, but hby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
A change in the thyroid hormones I was alreading taking. I was on Armour Thyroid and she added Synthroid to the Armour with some days on and some days off one or the other. It worked.

Pam - SAD is a serotonin deficiency. vitamin D is yet another deficiency.

Pam - you're entitled - Ramble away...and yes, I would think your cardiologist would have mentioned it long ago. For shame.

Still, the lab loses income so... perhaps that'by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks George for your help. Bob - As my original post mentioned, this was a very old study - I just came across it during another project and noted the chloride sensitivity or incompatibility comment. Thought it was interesting enough to entertain the idea and post it. Back then, rats were probably considered viable subjects - and still are in initial studies before humans.
