Liz: I think there's a big health difference between fermented and unfermented soy. Here's an excerpt from Dr. Mercola on the subject: The Truth About Fermented vs. Unfermented Soy Fermented soy products are healthy protein foods. But what exactly is fermented soy? It’s a form of soy that has gone through a lengthy fermentation process that makes it digestion-friendly. The top tby ggheld - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

I have used 77 Canada Pharmacy, for years but they last time had a requirement to pay in cash in advance due apparently to US banking law revision.

I've been buying prescription drugs from a Canadian Pharmacy, for years, although not the two that are the subject of this thread. I think there are several Canadian Pharmacies tied together as I've called the wrong one at times when I've forgotten which one I'm using and been referred to the right one. They are very responsive although many of the drugs come via the US mby ggheld - AFIBBERS FORUM
Upon recommendation of my Functional Medicine MD I've been taking a cocktail blend of Saw Palmetto, Beta Sitosterol and Stinging Nettle Root for perhaps 10 years for BPH and get up either one or twice during the night,not always to urinate but I do it anyway since I'm up..

Robert: Since you've been diagnosed with afib I suggest it's time for you to see an Electrophysiologist, (a Cardiologist who specializes in heart electrical issues, including afib). This may particularly be applicable to you if you don't have confidence in your Cardiologist. Sometimes continually running to the physician for more tests can produce more anxiety than comfort.

hi Robert: A couple of thoughts on your post above. It sounds like you were a heavy coffee drinker. Sometimes suddenly cutting out caffeine can have a boomerang reaction on your body; bigtime headache, anxiety, nerve reactions, etc. That probably only lasts a few days but it should be taken into account. Your last paragraph certainly sounds like anxiety that I've had in the past, unby ggheld - AFIBBERS FORUM
When I first developed flutter and fib I was put on Amiodarone. After about 2 years my TSH went through the roof and the specialist at UCSF determined that the Amiodarone had built and stored iodine in levels enough in my body to burn up my thyroid.so I was changed to Flecainide which worked fine,and Tapazole to calm my thyroid, which took nearly a year to become effective. Of course the endby ggheld - AFIBBERS FORUM
Dr. Murray has written about PharmaGaba before and I have used it on and off for a couple of years. I use it to get back to sleep perhaps twice weekly after waking from about 4 hours of sleep. I notice no hangover or dependency from using it. Chewing the tablets does get them in my system faster and it seems I get groggy after about a half hour.

Alex: My medical mafia's consensus is to be sure you use a mix with live bacteria, at least 10 billion of them, and to change your probiotic every month or so as your gut gets used to any given mix after a time.

All of what the link above says may be true but it would have more credibility to me if they would somewhere list their sources, their backgrounds, expertise to make the inflammatory statements, large point vibrant headlines, repeats, inferences etc. A little scientific proof by a known reputable firm would go a long way to validate.

Alangford: Dr. Murray has bees suggesting a super absorbable form of GABA called Pharmagaba. It comes as chewable tablets to dissolve int the mouth and be better absorbed faster.

Gordon is another one, 2005 with Natale at Marin General, still in NSR. Some related thoughts. 1. Hans surveys always related success to types of afib experienced before the abaltion; i.e., I had lone fib, apparently the most likely to be permanently cured, while someone with permanent afib may have less chance of long term success. 2.

Camping on to what Mork says above, my medical mafia feels that the best TSH range for nerves in general is between 1.0 and 2.0 not the "normal" range of 0.6 to 3.6 and prefers me to use one of the animalbased supplements that contains real T3 instead of synthroid, etc. This also applies to people at risk for RSI, repetitive stress injuries.
