I read Hans Larsen's Post Ablation Care article here in the Afib Resources and he said he took these three supplements for the first month after his ablation to combat inflammation. He actually used Zyflamend but I'm thinking I'd rather take Curcumin instead. My issue with Zyflamend is that it's loaded with tons of ingredients that I have no idea what they do or how they respond/react to blood thinners like Eliquis. I personally prefer simple ingredient products:) At any rate, I'll be on Eliquis for at least 3 months after the ablation. Is it safe to take these supplements while on Eliquis? Jackie already posted some info on fish oils and Eliquis so that's covered. I can probably safely take 4 grams of fish oil a day. However, I've read that Curcumin is also a blood thinner of sorts - or at least there are warnings about taking it if you are on Coumadin. As for beta-sitosterol I have no idea what that does as far as blood thinning.

I get the beta sitosterol powder from: [purebulk.com]

How can you tell if a specific protocol produced faster recovery? I recovered well within the timeframe suggested by Dr. Natale's staff.

It's worthy to note that your heart my have a period of adjustment as a normal procedure after an ablation. For example, I had a lot of PAC/PVC's, decreasing over a few months, wh ich I was told to expect. I had the monitor to feed data to the medical center for three months so I knew all was well and I now get almost no recognizable irregularity.

Jackie - I'll stick to 2-3 grams of fish oil as per your suggestion and see how it goes.

Louise/Gordon - did the protocol help you recover quicker?

Gordon (and anyone else reading this)...any specific beta sisterol products you'd recommend?

Of course, Elquis wasn't available then, 2007, and I was taking Coumadin, so perhaps different protocols applied.

FWIW, I still take the sisterols for prostate reduction, and it works great for me.

Zyflamend is a great product and New Chapter is a great, reliable company.... but as you are thinking, I decided that I didn't want to add too many variables to the mix.

I would use a lower dose of the Omega 3 fish oils at least to begin 2 - 3 grams max ...at least for the first few months.

I have no personal experience with beta-sitosterol.
