Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure


"Hans Larsen's book on lone atrial fibrillation is unique and extremely useful; the reader will find hope, help and solid information on the condition and its treatments. The table of contents illustrates the comprehensive nature of his exploration, combining personal stories of dealing with atrial fibrillation with a thorough explanation of the working of the heart in normal and abnormal rhythms. He covers the drugs and treatments used in this condition, and goes on to discuss a range of self-help measures, including supplements, relaxation techniques, and drinking water with added magnesium bicarbonate. Those of us who suffer from lone atrial fibrillation and have followed Hans' work on the Internet have benefited immensely from his knowledge. I am extremely grateful for his ongoing pursuit of a cure, and I look forward to the wide dissemination of this excellent book."
Sadja Greenwood, MD MPH, CA, USA

"This book is an outstanding and important reference for all afibbers, either veterans or newbies. It is extremely complete, well written, well researched and referenced and easily understood. No facet of LAF is left out - from identification of the condition to conventional medical treatment to holistic therapies along with glossary of appropriate terms and includes a very useful and extensive resource list. Had I had access to this book when I first began LAF 7 years ago, I probably would have not spent so much time lost in the medical limbo of uncertainty regarding treatment options and would have been spared years of anxiety and despair. The author has done a great service to those with LAF with this substantial endeavour. Every afibber should buy two - one for home and one for the physician."

Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure Volume II


As a physician interested in evidence based medicine, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading the second volume of Hans Larsen’s Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure. Although Hans has again targeted the general public with this book, I found his easy to read style of writing most refreshing. I heartily believe that once mainstream medicine awakens to the spreading epidemic of atrial fibrillation, Hans’ books on the topic will stand as pioneering milestones.
Patrick Chambers, MD, HI, USA

Thanks to Hans Larsen for once again bringing together so much information, and so much hope, for those of us with atrial fibrillation. His new book summarizes the latest research published in the leading medical journals, relates the experiences of many people who are successfully dealing with the condition, and provides detailed results of extensive surveys carried out among fellow AF sufferers. If you want to know how to help yourself through medications, supplements, lifestyle changes or surgical procedures, Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure – Volume II is a MUST read!

Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure Volume III


Over the past year The AFIB Report has kept subscribers informed of new developments in atrial fibrillation research as reported in the leading journals such as Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Circulation, etc. The subjects covered in our journal summaries range from details of the latest ablation procedures, their outcome and potential complications, to the safety and efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs. The latest insights into the mechanism of atrial fibrillation as well as important information about stroke risk and prevention are also covered. In addition, The AFIB Report has, in detail, covered the results of our most recent LAF survey dealing with the effectiveness of ablation and surgical procedures for eliminating LAF. Numerous afibbers who have found ways of controlling their afib have shared their experience for the benefit of others and specific approaches to AF management and stroke prevention have been thoroughly researched and the results disseminated in The AFIB Report.

Truly, the 2005 issues of The AFIB Report are a treasure trove of immensely valuable information. Unfortunately the vast volume of data contained in the newsletter makes it very difficult to quickly and conveniently locate a particular piece of information. My new book Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Toward a Cure – Volume III, hopefully, solves this problem. Its 220 pages contain all the information published in the 2005 issues arranged in logical sections. The comprehensive subject index makes it easy to find the elusive, but important information you know is there – somewhere! In addition, the wealth of important new LAF information contained in Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Toward a Cure – Volume III makes it an ideal and essential companion to Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure and Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards A Cure – Volume II.

Thrombosis and Stroke Prevention


Hans Larsen has delighted us again with this elegant and provocative book on the mechanisms of thrombosis and stroke. He is able to explain the intricate mechanisms involved in the underlying causes of thrombosis leading to strokes, then he provides us the clinical tests for each of these entities, and then offers a rational preventive means to alter this process. This book is a rich document replete with abundant references and will have a profound and enduring impact on patients attempting to understand and modify their risks for thrombosis and stroke, especially those with lone atrial fibrillation. Highly recommended, and a necessary supplemental companion for Hans Larsen's Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards A Cure.
Norman F. Fisher MD, CA, USA

Never before has so much stroke-prevention information been consolidated into one complete, concise, well-referenced, well-researched and very important publication. This book is not just for afibbers, but for all health-conscious individuals looking to avoid blood clots and stroke by understanding who is at risk, how clots form and how to prevent them. The author takes a complex topic and breaks it down into understandable and useful anti-clotting strategies that include a thorough examination of natural alternatives as well as prescription drugs. This is a "must-have" reference everyone needs to own and read.

The Prostate and Its Problems


"At some point in our lives every man will experience prostate problems - some in their thirties - and some will be lucky enough not to experience them until their eighties. Dealing with these problems can vary from being a minor nuisance all the way to the full-blown terror of hearing the doctor say: "You have cancer". Up to now there has never been a clearly written book that helps remove the unnecessary terror while clearly spelling out the well-researched and validated options for avoiding and treating the full range of prostate problems from prostatitis to prostate cancer. What I find especially brilliant in "The Prostate and Its Problems" is the amount of supporting research on the optimum choices of food, supplements and lifestyle to significantly reduce the risk of prostate cancer and the detailed description of alternative treatments for dealing with the inevitable benign prostate hyperplasia. Hans Larsen and William Ware are to be congratulated on their most timely and essential, evidence-based book on the topic of the prostate and its problems."
Frank McCabe, Dublin, Ireland

"The Prostate and Its Problems by Hans Larsen and William Ware tackles these thorny issues in a straightforward, easy to understand manner. The myriad questions are addressed via rigorous research translated into plain English. By sifting through all the medical literature they have presented a more balanced view, one that is both evidence-based and objective. Furthermore, unlike more traditional medical texts there is a strong emphasis on alternative, preventive strategies for avoiding inflammation, hyperplasia and cancer of the prostate. Neither author has received funding for this extraordinarily comprehensive work. Both are true scholars motivated purely by the sheer joy of learning and teaching others, and their total dedication to this goal is readily apparent in every page."
Patrick Chambers, MD, Kailua, Oahu, HI

"The Prostate and Its Problems is very well done and chuck full of most valuable information. I think every male over 45 should have access to this book. I am not an oncologist and I was able to follow the information on prostate cancer very well. I hope you will continue to promote this book. It should be required reading by every physician."
Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, Victoria, BC
