        <title>supplements to take prior and after ablation</title>
        <description> I am scheduled for a Sept. 5th ablation with Dr. Natale in NYC.  I&amp;#039;d like to do whatever I can to make my body stronger and healthier to ensure the best outcome possible.  I know this has been mentioned before, but I can&amp;#039;t seem to find the posts where it was...

Which supplements are highly recommended to take to increase the likehood of a safe an effective ablation?  I know Jackie has mentioned optimizing magnesium and potassium, but I don&amp;#039;t take added potassium as I am on a diuretic..and that isn&amp;#039;t safe to do in that case.

Omega 3&amp;#039;s?   Taurine?  Vitamin D?  

I took myself off of a very good cardio supplement, because it has gingo biloba in it, which has blood thinnning tendenices..and I&amp;#039;m now on Xarelto.

Jackie?  Or anyone else who is aware of what&amp;#039;s recommended?

Thank</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Barb, when I was taking Xarelto I took Omega 3&#039;s with it and didn&#039;t notice any ill effects. Drugs.com gives the combination a &quot;moderate&quot; risk of problems though, saying Omega 3&#039;s can increase the risk of bleeding when combined with another medicine that causes bleeding. I was specifically told NOT to take Omega 3&#039;s with the warfarin that I&#039;m now on.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Barb -  I took vitamin E,  Omega 3&#039;s, vitamin D and the K2 because of the warfarin causing the risk of osteoporosis and arterial calcium deposits.  Magnesium, potassium, CoQ10, the B complex, thyroid complex along with Armour,  small amounts of Nattokinase and probiotics.  Remember, though, I only took the warfarin for a month prior to the procedure and about 6 weeks after... then I switched back entirely to the NK/Serrapeptase high dose protocol.   You may have some success in learning if there are any studies or known reactions to those nutrients and Xalerto... but I&#039;d be very cautious about adding any in without solid evidence that it won&#039;t cause harm or interference.  <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Jackie - do you know if Omega 3&#039;s have a tendency to thin the blood?  If not, I would think they would be good to take. Same for Vitamin D.  <br />
If you took Coumadin for your ablation, what supplements did you take prior to the ablation?  I know you may not have experience/knowledge of Xarelto, but I would think that other than vitamin K and things that affect the viscosity of the blood, there shouldn&#039;t be a real difference.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Barb - I&#039;m sorry but I have no personal experience with Xalerto and therefore would be hesitant to offer advice on the various anti-inflammatories and other heroics I did before and after my ablation. <br />
<br />
I certainly wish you well with your September 5 procedure.  You&#039;re in the best of care.<br />
<br />
Best to you,<br />
