Marian - I agree. It surely is unscientific. But I do know of people who have done it and have no 'legs' and also have no symptoms. Richard found it initially. I'm thinking I may have his initial post and possibly reference to how he came up with it. When I get a minute, I'll dig into my old computer system and files. Maybe it's can be found back in one of the BB aby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Benj - do you have the second book of latest research as of 2004? - it's an update of all the reports Hans published after the original book. He's probably working on another volume as we speak. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Today's news indicates the CC will announce plans to open a health and wellness center in Toronto in an effort to lure more Canadian business to the main CC campus - a five-hour drive away from Toronto. The new center will offer three service areas: corporate health and wellness, prevention and lifestyle counselling and referrals of patients from Ontario to Cleveland. This preliminary annoby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Alex - When I first read about the benefits of taurine, it was used in conjunction with magnesium. George Eby had a very large section in his coldcure.com web page that prompted me to try the magnesium taurate he recommended and investigate the benefits of taurine. I had heard several holistic MDs say that one could not treat arrhythmias without the use of taurine so it sounded interesting.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Pam - you probably missed the posts on self-testing. Richard provided it for us. I recently re-posted it. In essence, first thing in the morning before putting anything in your mouth, you gather some saliva and expectorate into a clear glass of water. Watch the deposit to see if it grows "legs"; if it does, then you have candida overgrowth. Regarding the probiotics and candida,by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Dean - I'm sorry as well to see your report. Did you try dumping it out of the capsule? Sometimes the capsule content is very excitotoxic since it is made of gelatin and that means free glutamates. I'm looking forward to your report on natto. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Gregg - First, you have to know or determine that you have no kidney impairment or dysfunction in order to take potassium supplements and that you aren't taking any medication that would be a contraindication. Then, definitely, try carrying potassium supplements with you. You'll have to decide how much of an inconvenience it will be to transport the bulk powder in a little containeby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Okay but you realize that alcohol is like drinking liquid sugar in the way it metabolizes. Sugar metabolism via insulin requirements etc, depletes potassium.... ..... no surprise that arrhythmias occur with alcohol consumption when you consider the potassium depletion factor. On an empty stomach or even low blood sugar at the time, it could cause enough interferrence that AF is triggered.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Susan - and Pam - and all.... Candex is not an herbal. It is an enzyme that breaks down the cell wall and destroys the yeast. Some candida preparations are herbals but this one acts differently. Acidophilus is just good bacteria for the bowel flora. It won't overpower or kill candida. First you have to kill the candida and then replenish the bowel flora with the good bacteria and theby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hang in there Babs - this is a tough situation. I've been there with fibroids and cysts and hemorrhaging. Not at all nice. Here is the US, typically for these symptoms, they use ultrasound to measure the size of the uterus but a CT scan will certainly image everything in the area. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Bob - did your holiday heart incident occur after consuming alcohol? Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Gregg - The critical electrolytes are magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium. The latter two, to a lesser degree. For afibbers, we know that we need abundant magnesium and potassium inside the cells and we need to keep out sodium and calcium in large quantities. Magnesium is relaxing and calcium is excitatory. In the presence of magnesium deficiency - intracellularly - calcium will alwaysby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Steve - some of the experts feel that a banana as a source of potassium provides too much sugar and thus sets off some insulin problems which will eventually reduce potassium. Bananas have a high glycemic load. Better sources are veggies but for therapeutic doses, it's better to take supplemental K++. Consider Peggy's recommendations. It is important after ablation to keep the eleby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Chris - if your product is identical to the Candex product I recommended, there should be no adverse feeling. I used the entire bottle of Candex plus another one as directed and did not feel poorly except for a detox rash that appears in weird places... on the area of the thymus gland, my wrist and inside of my ankle. Itched like crazy then it was gone. Try not to eat fruit or sugar that feedby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Russ - I was a guest at the CCF Summit on AF last fall. It lasted a full day and a half with presentations every 20 minutes or so. Slides, video clips of procedures and presenters who are the top experts in the field of ablation. PVI is pretty much routine and each EP has his pet technique for finding the potentials or focal points and ablating them. Experience allows them to know where to loby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Russ - Maybe I've missed something in this dialog, but what is different about your ablation that would prompt the EP to say..."It is a long and grueling procedure, unlike ablations for other arrhythmias." Curious. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Babs - I don't know if you'll be able to get these, but it's worth a try. Dr. Wong has audio recordings on his site and a couple are on uterine fibroids... go here When I'e listened to his other taped lectures, they are highly beneficial and he has good knowledge. Maybe these will be helpful to you. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Seems odd that you would have more afib. Just stop all magnesium and see what happens to your events. If all else fails, you can always go back to your original magnesium product. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Babs - the serrapeptase works separately from digestive enzymes...but how quickly would depend on how massage the doses are that you take. Fibroids are caused by estrogen dominance. It's said they can be reversed by using natural progesterone cream....not synthetic progesterone or progestins. Just type in a google search " fibroids estrogen dominance" .

Lynn - I don't have time at the moment to pull up the quotes but it definitely is a marker for heart disease, inflammation, etc. which lead to heart attacks. I'll dig out the quotes and references for you tomorrow. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ruth - it will be directed by the EP doing the procedure depending on your afib status. They definitely want to look for clots before ablation but if you've been on coumadin for some time before the procedure, sometimes it's not done. When done properly, it isn't painful or stressful. I had one with no problems. Others have reported they were not as fortunate. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Babs - yes that's true; does shrink fibroids. Mira posted some time back that she had success with that. Do you have fibroids? I'll give you some places to look at the information regarding the fibrinolytic enzyme in Vitalzyme which is serrapeptase. I'm heading out the door but will post it tomorrow. Stand by.

Associated Press release - People taking Plavis plus aspirin to try to prevent heart attacks, as recommended by many doctors, now have a good reason to stop.
