Susan - Congrats on your success. You'll be interested in the current Conference Room topic as it plays right into your success if you are following a Paleo type diet that eliminates gluten containing grains or all grains totally. As I recall, you can tolerate oats? Anyway, with your intestinal issues that you've mentioned in other posts, I thought of you several times while I wasby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
William - not hardly! However, it does delve into another area afibbers need to consider. I also heard a teleconference with Dr. Cordain and I certainly have great respect for his brilliance. Thanks. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
I'm reluctant to break my own request and post here - these responses belong in the Conference Room but felt I needed to address this comment so it wouldn't go ignored. Kagey: So Kagey, after you were diagnosed and went off all the taboo foods did they do serology testing after six months to determine what your antibody levels were? And again annually at least? If there were/are stillby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Adrian - It is a network marketing deal which is a bit of a turn-off for me but the information was so intriguing I'm tempted to bite. I spoke with a local distributor who encouraged signing up as a distributor to get that special pricing consideration. Apparently no quota to meet for ongoing buying. It's about $100 for 4 bottles which is a full treatment since they say it takesby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Based on information I learned from three nutritional teleconferences, I have pulled together a report that I think youll find intriguing. Hans has put it into the Conference Room as the new topic, but I wanted to post an announcement here first as a bit of enticement to get readers to go to there. This is important information. Heres a little preview to serve as incentive to read and partby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Babs - I've not tried it, but heard an hour-long presentation by the doctor doing some of the research studies on Zeolite. I found it exciting and fascinating how it works. I'm tempted to try it one of these days. I was interested in the use for removing mercury and other heavy metals. I'll be interested in your experiences with it if you do try it. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Heather - yes definitely. Some compounds and especially essential oils pass through to the blood stream in less than 20 minutes. Transdermal delivery of drugs is highly effective so why wouldn't chemicals administered in the same way perform the same way. You probably have a sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients.

Pam - I have to agree with Susan about waiting for Dr. Natale if it is at all possible. I'm coming up on three years since my successful ablation with Dr. Natale and I've been very pleased with the outcome. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Frank - I would type in the search feature here - Dr. Larry Chinitz and see what's been said of him. He has an excellent reputation as an EP at NYU. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Kagey - same for me. I think $60K is the billed amount, but Medicare accepts far less and so part B plus secondary insurance cover 80% from there. I had minor amounts to pay once the dust settled. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
CCF defines success as No afib and no Meds. I would be suspect of any description that allows any degree of afib because of the threat of silent afib and stroke risk. One needs to be sure there either is or is not afib. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Kathleen - angels to you. Just remember, early detection is the best defense. Please let us know what you learn. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Paul - rather than an inability to absorb magnesium, based on what the magnesium researchers say, it sounds as if you have reached intracellular saturation and the excess is being spilled through the bowl dumping...as predicted. . Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ah Ha... thanks. Now I recall the posts regarding this. Sorry. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Art - ask your doctor to request a serum red blood cell magnesium test. That will give the intracellular and it's not all that expensive. Serum potassium mostly reflects intracellular potassium. Not always but mostly, whereas, serum magnesium can vary all over the place compared to intracellular magnesium. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Marian - I agree but if you go to that new AF site and read through the 06 Boston Symposium notes, you will pick up on a trend that is pushing for what seems like "every" patient to get on warfarin - lifelong. I found that theme extremely distressing. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
This is a fascinating book. The author really goes after the FDA and he supports his statements with facts. If you can stomach reading about the manipulations of the government, FDA and other 'stuff' it's an excellent read. I just received my copy and am taking it in small doses. : ) It is also an important read for anyone in who relies on supplements to stay healthy. Thatby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for this. Layout and organization nicely done and quite complete. The the information is informally presented in lay terms which is undoubtedly helpful to many readers. I only scanned it though. I noted a couple of points that I'd have to take exception to, though. Does anyone know who the host/author of the website is? Interesting also that in the initial description of ablaby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Bob - In case you are interested, here's a bit of dental hygiene trivia. The starch from carbohydrates is rapidly broken down in the mouth by saliva. This creates a sticky substance that hangs around in the mouth even though most is swallowed. In the less-than-clean mouth, ( as in those who brush sporadically or incompletely) those residues help to sustain plaque accumulation on the teby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carol - don't you find the aspartate portion to be stimulating more AF? Typically, we try to stay away from that ligand in supplements. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carol - after my cardioversion (post-ablation), I had runs of sinus tachycardia diagnosed by holter monitor. Dr. Natale said it was sometimes seen in people with thyroid issues not under control. I did have some thyroid imbalances after the ablation procedure - several numbers were off - and I have since normalized the numbers, but I still have a run of ST every now and then. It's quick,by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Kathy - I don't have the experience you mention, but if you want to try one of the proteolytic enzymes that reduces or eliminates fibrosis, check the conference room - sessions 24, 39 and 40 and read specifically William Wong, PhD's article mentioned on "Fibrosis the Enemy of Life". He's a sports medicine doctor who has significant experience with eliminating various foby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Howie - That's the agony of being on a wait list like that. Too bad but they do need to choose the right heart. I hope it works out for him soon. Angels always on standby! Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Laura - consider that a dramatic result from the startle effect - loud noise etc - is a classic sign of magnesium deficiency.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Martin - I'm sorry to see you have joined the ranks of afibbers here. Before you jump into ablation after three relatively short episodes, I think you should do plenty of research on the risks that can occur with ablation and consider using some of the natural approaches here that many have found to help or actually eliminate the frequency of atrial fibrillation. You can start by orderingby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hang in there Mike. I'm sure it's anxiety producing for you to go through this all over again and still have your heart unsettled. Don't be discouraged or give up. The heart has been highly irritated with many burns twice now and it is going to take some time to calm down. Consider eating foods or using supplements to help with inflammation. Ginger tea is a nice natural anti-inby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Howie - special thoughts and prayers to your cousin. That makes ablation seem like a blip on the radar screen, doesn't it? Angels are always available. : ) Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Also in the conference room - the topic #6 and 23 may offer you some help with the glutamate issues. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Bob - I can see you are struggling with this and thought I had saved a post from Fran long ago in which she had listed various foods and their corresponding free glutamate quantities. To no avail; must be in my old computer files that were not transferred. I did go to the archives and found a few posts that may help with your question..... these follow: (Jackie) Author: Fran (---.edin-a-1by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
