QuotePavanPharter The best way to eat natto is to take it from freezer to fridge for a few days then drench it in 20-30ml of olive oil. The EVOO will increase the K2 bio-availability resulting in an increase of carboxolation of matrix GLA proteins. I spread natto on a piece of toast then dribble two teaspoons of olive oil on top. Only because it taste better.by colindo - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
QuoteElectroBlu Hi everyone Hope you are all well. I wonder if anyone can advise me? I had an ablation a year ago. I did well on it but just 2 weeks ago, I suddenly noticed a change to my heart rhythm. I noticed extra beats and sent my watch ECG readings to the AF nurse at Royal Brompton (UK here) who said I was in sinus but with occasional PAC EB Just wondering if you recently had aby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM

What is the treatment or remedy for Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopy? (PACs?) I had an afib event the other day which, with the help of flecainide (PIP) lasted for about 2 hours. It was the first event this year, triggered by (i think) a couple of alcoholic drinks the night before, which is very rare for me. Then out of the blue a couple of nights later I wake up in the middle oby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quoteln108 I was looking today to purchase some nattokinase. The brand I have used in the past was Nattozyme by NutriCology. This is NSK-SD Nattokinase, from Japan, which folks on this forum seem think is best. Looking on Amazon, the price today is $41.39 for 60 softgels, 100mg, 2000 FU each. That's 69 cents per softgel.

I read there is available an immune support package available for NHS frontline staff. Packs include: Liposomal Vitamin C Vitamin D Zinc Reishi-Cordyceps Complex Homeopathic Remedies Essential Oils And only the BEST!

If you read Brian_og article they were suggesting a different approach for paroxysmal afibbers with a CHA₂DS₂-VASc score of 3. One of the suggestions was a pill in pocket approach and my suggestion was to trial Nattokinase.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteCarey I wonder under the circumstance if Shannon would have had a TIA no mater what anti-coagulate he used? I would like to know what the Romanian lady was taking, if anything? I have never seen any comparisons between nattokinase and other anti-coagulates. I think it's likely he would not have suffered the TIA.

QuoteGeorgeN If I had more than a minimal (<=2) CHA₂DS₂-VASc, I personally would not rely on NK. Aspirin is not a preferred choice for afib either. Not that I think NK is bad, I just would not rely on it. I recall a number of years ago, when Shannon had a TIA, he was on 300 mg /day in three 100mg divided doses.

QuoteBrian_og Interesting study relating AFib events in paroxysmal individuals to stroke. Pretty much nails down that AFib is a cause of stroke as well as a marker. Also a discussion of pill in the pocket as a method for anticoagulation since the risk seems to attenuate quickly some days after the event. Nattokinase should be considered and trialled. The effects of NK are similaby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks George, Who thought that lot up? It's got to have more to do with blood quality I would have thought. eg. if your blood is thick and sticky it would more likely clot.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteCarey So with a CHADS score of 3, you have about a 3.5% risk of stroke every single year. Over the course of 10 years, that risk is about 30%, and over 20 years it's 51%. Why does the risk of stroke go up every year by 3%? Could it have something to do with your fibrinogen levels increasing? There has to be a reason. BTW a 3% chance of having a stroke is also 97% chance of notby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM

I would suggest you also take vitamin k2 with Vitamin D. E.g.. 5000IU Vit.D and 180mcg of Vit.K2 daily. Or to look into eating natto plus Vit.D. see this posting You may find your afib events will get less or even stop. Your Vit.D level is not far from ideal 40 ng/mL. Some people can't tolerate high levels (like 90-100) I can't. You will need to try different doses to see whatby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM

Natto food in NOT Nattokinase. May 1st 2018 was when I first started to eat natto. I must say I was a bit apprehensive at first because of the criticism about its smell and slimy texture.

I don't know much about Lumbrokinase but I know the nattokinase I get works for me. As far as blood thinning goes at least. For example I recently needed to have a small operation on my foot.
