Vitamin K2 in Natto regulates calcium. I wonder if there is a link?by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Natto has helped me, so nutrition was the key solution for me. Drugs have never help me either, other than flecainide, used as a PIP (pill in pocket) I still drink the odd beer, glass of wine or gin but not every night. On occasions I used to go to the pub and meet up with the boys for a session but not any more. My afib burden is now 2 or 3 events a year, which I can stop quite quicklyby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM

Carey, can you set up a page so we can add the abbreviations as we come across them. Would that help?by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Some posters are using abbreviations like NSR (Normal sinus rhythm) for example, we mostly all know what that means but some people may not. There are lots of other examples that annoy me, especially when I have to Google for it's meaning when I am halfway through reading the post, and I am sure other members feel the same annoyance, so can we have a list somewhere that we can access easby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quotehwkmn05 As I remove my mask this morning after nearly 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep thanks to the latest technology in sleep therapy, What mask are you using? Is it an improvement to mouth taping?by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteLarryG That sounds like torture to me, Colindo. /LarryG No it wasn't, I used 3M micropore tape. I have since found chin up strips. I understand you need to do it for a week, so if it helps to stop afib and give a better sleep then I'll give it a go.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
My wife told me that i sometimes sleep with my mouth open. I did some digging around on Google and found taping ones mouth shut may help with better sleep, then I found there is a link between sleep-disordered breathing and AF. Previously my average fitbit sleep score was 75, after taping my mouth shut last night my score went up to 86. I have never had a score of 86, ever. ???? Has anyby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
I am from NZ and if I thought Natto would help you I would recommend it, but it sounds as though (IMO) you are too far advanced and should seriously consider an ablation. I looked around at my options a couple of years ago and found I could get a local ablation on the health system but had to accept the local EP doing it. We have no choice unless we pay for it. The cost was about $35K NZD. Soby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Loan AF (in my mind at least) means you have no other health conditions other than afib.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuoteJackC colindo, thanks for jumping in... For starters, I'm very sorry to hear about your sister. I sincerely hope she has recovered and is doing well... I was just about to ask if there were any proven natural alternatives v.s. pharmaceuticals for thinning your blood. Are there tests to monitor the effectiveness of your blood-thinning protocol? There are but they are complex.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteJackC Hi Carey, thanks for the welcome. I've been a reader of this forum for maybe 20 years. Is that possible? Over those many years, the information gleaned from this website has pretty much kept my AF under control. THANK YOU!

Very interesting about the kidneys job of converting vitamin D to the active form.by colindo - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
The recommended amount of Nattokinase is more than 2,000FU/ day. The Nattokinase activity level in natto commercially available varies from 1,400 FU/ pack (50g) to 2,000FU/ pack as Figure 7 shows. These people should know, they make it.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuotePoetKim I had my 1st natto this morning. It was.... okay. It smelled quite nice - like aromatic coffee beans. And I stirred it up first to get that white sticky webby thing happening. But more chewing was involved than I was prepared for. I just stuffed a large tablespoon of it in my mouth, unadorned. That's about half of one of the frozen styrafoam packages (which claim to containby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
BTW. Most of the bacteria beneficial to the intestines such as bifidus are killed in the stomach by the acid before they reach the intestines if taken orally. But natto bacteria are able to survive the journey and reproduce in the intestines where they aid digestion.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Poetkim. I eat 1 packet of natto every 2nd day, (recommended by Dean) I place one packet of natto on a piece of toast and sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on it and have eat it for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I started eating Natto 2 years ago and over that time it has reduced my afib burden from 2 to 3 events a month to 2 or 3 events a year. One event so far this year, I can live withby colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteNotLyingAboutMyAfib bubkis. I know it's best used right after you pop out of NSR but since I was on MulTaq I needed that to clear and I needed to eliminate two more possible suspects - vitamin K complex and MSG (an ingredient in Aromat - a meat spice concoction that finally made my steaks taste good). That's 2 attempts at PIP, one with met suc and this time with diltiazem.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have a friend who has been in permanent afib for at least 10 years and he just takes a blood thinner and a pill for high blood presure. Nothing else. His heart rate is about normal but is out of rhythm.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteIslandluvr Am I reading this correctly? This study finds that if you have afib, but no other heart problems you are NOT at increased risk of stroke? htts://www.healio.com/news/cardiology/20200609/af-without-other-cv-comorbidities-confers-no-elevated-risk-for-stroke Yes, some of us knew that 10 years ago. If you are a lone-Afibber you have the same risk of stroke as the general public.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
I would say that 83 mg/dL is a VERY good number but not what is normal today. I was looking at a forum where by people would compare daily their fasting blood sugar levels and they were about 100 to 120. Very few were below 100.by colindo - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Thanks, that's quite low. This from mayo clinic A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.Aug 8, 2018by colindo - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

50% plus of afib triggers are stress related. That's physical or emotional stress. Give up the bike ridding for a while and take some Lorazepam to calm yourself down and see if that brings you back into NSR. Other than that, Carey and GeorgeN have told you what to do in your previous post. "Tikosyn is probably your best bet."by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hay NotLying, Have you read this book? It was first posted by GeorgeN. It's written by Hans Larsen "Hans Larsen created and ran this afibbers.org for about 15 years. He just released The LAF Surveys: What we learned about the causes and treatment of lone atrial fibrillation This book is a collection of the surveys he ran during that time, as well as his analysis of the results.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
High normal calcium maybe enough to effect afib. It would be interesting to know what afibbers levels are. I have never been tested.by colindo - AFIBBERS FORUM
