Paul - I should emphasize again... that your magnesium levels as tested by the standard labs measure blood levels and typically those will register in the 'normal' range... but that doesn't mean you are sufficient in magnesium inside the cells...it has to get in there before it can help your heart and other organ systems. If your cardiologist will order the Exatest, that's gby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello Paul - In my post titled Waving the White Flag, I announced my decision to have the second ablation and described the reasons why. This was not something I chose on a whim. My first ablation from 2003 lasted well until years 5, 6 and 7 during which I had one or two breakthroughs a year or every 18 months. All converted with the PIP meds protocol and by my re-examining my intake of tby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Duke - I'm so very pleased that your heart is calm. Not surprising with a Natale ablation. Remember that early on, post ablation, there can be minor blips so if you're smart, you won't be testing too much, too soon as your heart is still in a high state of inflammation and irritability and will remain so for 6 - 8 weeks. On the supplement issue. I dearly love and respect Dr. Nby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Mike - when you use the powder... or at least I when I do, pour off some of the seltzer bottle contents into a cup or measuring cup with a spout or lip for ease of pouring back into the bottle later..... then just add the powder to that reserved amount... stir it in and then slowly pour that mixture back into the remaining plain seltzer in the bottle. It will still roil and bubble but you wby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Anti-fib.... Sorry for the delay… I wanted to dig out some notes on Lupus that I had accumulated some years ago. These random notes follow.

Many benefits of fermented food consumption as those aid in the beneficial bacteria needed for digestion. GERD and similar symptoms are often related to afib because of the vagus nerve irritation. If the natto comes from organic soy, it would be the best possible choice but soy, in general, has many problems... as we have discussed in previous posts. Jackieby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

As George comments about Richard Moore's book... be sure to also check CR 72 about the importance of potassium in the sodium/potassium ion pump mechanism as it pertains to heart function and preventing atrial fibrillation. 1500 mg a day of potassium gluconate is a common dosage. And definitely... healthy kidney function must be present for both potassium and magnesium supplementationby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Craig - I share your concern and it's not just a recent concern about flu shots. In many years I worked as a clinical dental hygienist and even in the days before masks were worn, we all religiously got annual flu shots. And, typically, we often also got the flu. With all the negative news about adjuvants in flu shots, I'm not willing to put any of that in my body. When I retired eby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

No, not all magnesium glycinate is chelated. Some manufacturers just mix powders together without going through the actual chelating process. Best to look for the Albion patent identification on the labels of products claiming to be a chelated formulation which is actually the binding of an amino acid (protein) to magnesium. True chelates are not affected by stomach acid or gastric juicesby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
Duke - As George mentions, the true patented (Albion) chelated amino acid version of magnesium (magnesium glycinate or magnesium bis-glycinate) stands the best chance of reaching the cell's interior before being side-tracked in the stomach or intestine. It also is least likely to cause bowel tolerance issues at higher doses...often people tolerate up to 1,000 mg daily or more before the bby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM

Well, Sam - What can I say? .... I had no flu-like symptoms or any other symptoms whatsoever with my Herx other than the Afib.

I'm glad to see Dr. Oz continues to elevate public awareness about important health practices, but it seems odd that he says to take with meals ...as most directions are to take away from meals so there isn't competition or breakdown from elevated stomach acid that occurs with meals.

Hi Kevin - I'm certainly glad you are improving. Definitely, anyone on anticoags should not be climbing on ladders or such. You were very fortunate not to be more seriously injured. Glad to know you found something that works better than Arnica gel...

Sam - sorry to read your report. Since I know nothing about the technical aspects of the product you used, I can only speculate. Most silvers that are not the true nanoparticle form don't do much of anything therapeutically. However, there are cautions about some silver products being formulated from harmful compounds such as silver nitrate or chloride that cause problems. This websiteby Jackie - AFIBBERS FORUM
