Dean - yes - look for a younger graduate.... the older guys (sorry if any are out there) can be more interested in the bone crunching...my term, not theirs. Of course there are exceptions and I apologize in advance for making a generalizing statement....but the younger graduates seem to be more knowledgeable - at least here and in my experience. Good luck Dean. I think you will be amazed. Jby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ohhhh Jerry - I wasn't adding a retort...just an additional thought....I never write with the intention of a dig or a jab at the other poster so don't be overly sensitive to my comments.... Kindness, always. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Keith - yes - look back by author and find Stan B. He had flutter crop up after his ablation and has recently completed his touch-up ablation for flutter. I'm sure he would be happy to correspond with you. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Oh horrors, Dean....nothing so invasive unless all else fails. Go back and re-read some of my initial posts on my chiropractic treatments for getting the diaphragm to stay put. The chiropractor does with hands on manipulation and mine uses a special energy tapping device to stimulate energy in the area. It is only slightly uncomfortable at first since the pressure is rather intense; you do cby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Adrian - From what I've read and remember - full salt will deplete the potassium stores...to the degree it needs to in order to balance the sodium/potassium pump apparatus. Drinking regular V8 is going to defeat the purpose of drinking V8.... The idea for it came as a quick and easy way to get additional potassium in our bodies and from food sources. It could be a negligible differeby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jack - I'm not a doctor and I'm not giving medical advice....just common sense.... for 19 points on cholesterol.... I wouldn't worry....if you aren't sold on polycosanol, then let it go, but I would strongly urge you NOT to take a statin. There are far too many serious side effects.

Jerry - No - I'm not a fan of Power Bars, either. But, I just thought this was interesting not only from the sugar aspect, but most likely the most significant contributing factor was a magnesium deficiency....sugar depleting magnesium....along with heavy exercise.

Keestra - Note Carol A's recent post on her treatment and follow her suggestion - be sure the chiropractor is very knowledgeable in applied kinesiology and uses it in his/her practice on a regular basis. Without AK, I doubt the result would be as successful. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Faith - one thing that I always thought helped tremendously at the onset of AF was to take 2, 3 or four magnesium tablets along with r low sodium V8 - couple of big glasses. I always took an aspirin and at least 100 mg. CoQ10...just to give my heart some extra energy. Sometimes, it actually helped convert the episode to a shorter duration. Sometimes, not. So is the way with AF. Good luck.by Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

laf - here in Cleveland with Dr. Natale, they also follow the 48 hour rule for cardioversion if you are not on Coumadin. Longer than that, they put you on Coumadin until blood levels reach 2.0 - 3.0 range, do a TEE and then, if no clot, cardiovert. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Mike - Good luck. Dr. Natale will take good care of you. Busy day is right out there at Marin.... Double angel day! We'll all be praying for both of you.

Jerry - I agree but the glycemic index for grapejuice is high and for those watching insulin response, not a good idea. I love grape juice and would gladly drink alot of it if not for the sugar content. There is a product called resveratrol which is the "essense" of the inhibitive properties of grape skins that is also an option Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Keestra - that bloating bulge you describes sounds to me like a very large case of Candida infestation..... have you done the home test that was discussed in great detail a while back on the Conference Room...if not, I urge you to read that and do that home testing. If you test positive, then take steps to kill the Candida overgrowth. Then the buldge won't be happening after you eat. Aby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Faith - if you use the Metagenics product magnesium glycinate - try one tablet which is 100 mg. at each meal for 3 or 4 days - even a week. Then begin by adding another to one meal - say breakfast. Step up your doses until you are at least 600 a day. If the AF continues.... try taking 200 at bed time. Actually, maybe even save one or two from the daily doses and take at bed...It was very caby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Yea Carol!!!.....yes, yes, yes.....this is what I was saying. Isn't it just a great feeling. I'm so pleased you found a competent professional.

From Dr. Mercola's site: The nearly indestructible polycarbonate used to make Nalgene bottles seemed inert, but now new studies show that the popular Nalgene water bottles may pose serious health risks. They do this by breaking down and contaminating their contents with a dangerous chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). The bottles are made of Lexan polycarbonate resin, the same material usby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Commentary from Dr. Mercola: Brian Maxwell, founder of the multimillion-dollar PowerBar empire and a former world-class marathon runner, has died of a heart attack at 51.

In the '70s the myth was that if you ran a marathon you were virtually immune to hearby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Dean - I hope your V8 is low sodium because if it isn't, you are depleting potassium and that will bring on ectopy and AF. Certainly, the stretching and bending - if it is an out of the ordinary activity for you will stimulate the vagus nerve. Most likely you are correct in assessing on all counts. What about magnesium? taking any? Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Newman - welcome back! How are you doing? I recently posted my experience with that check-back schedule. It's very strange...as if there is no coordination between scheduling and seeing Dr. Natale. What happened to me is that I had an 8:30 am with the EP nurse.... then was to see Dr. Natale at 8:45..... I was taken in at 8:30 with Minerva who did the EKG but was then told to go for tby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Rob - Hiccoughs are what led me to discover the HH involvement. I began a stretch of time where I had hiccoughs - just out of the blue; and not even with food ingestion. I read that hiccoughs are a spasm of the diaphragm caused by magnesium deficiency. From there I went to the holistic chiropractic physician for a diaphragm evaluation. It was definitely displaced.

There are studies showing it is as effective as statins, Lipitor specifically, in one study and even had higher results than stain in one area. I'd have to refer to the article again.

Richard - Very dramatic. A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks for taking the time to refine the original thread of this HH theory.

Elaine - I can't recall if I read any official statement on aspirin and natto. I would think it is not wise to combine them on a daily basis.
