Depends... if this your friends first wedding? If it was their second or third, I'd take it with a grain of salt. The same as they did their first wedding. For the same reason, I don't go to visit the cancer ward of those that smoked cigarettes, I don't attend serial weddings.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
Did you watch the 2nd video? Dr. Knobbe discussed AREDS vitamins and the dry to wet progression. People with AMD may experience some delay in progression of the disease with multivitamin antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplementation. This finding was largely drawn from one large trial, conducted in a relatively well-nourished American population. We do not know the generalisabilityby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
QuoteJoyWin I’ve never consumed seed oils. Only pure Olive Oil. Interesting. Dr. Knobbe in the video details the progression from dry to wet. The Q&A was interesting at the end where he drew a blank about children with AMD. Sometimes we can't over come the genetic tendency.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

I would guess you had some ectopics that made your HRV look good but not enough to show up as AF. When I look back after knowing I had AF, I believe there were signs that I ignored or discounted for 5+ years before I had a diagnosis.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
When I had afib my HRV was awesome. Think about it.... heart rate variability. Very variable in AF. Verified very variable.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Perlmutter has a lot of ideas around natural sleep. Personally I avoid caffeine completely, get some exercise in the evening, warm baths, cool sleeping room(68 or less), remove blue light (TV, cell phone tablets etc) from after sunset, use warm low watt light bulbs in bed room, or even blue blocker glasses after sunset. Get some morning sun. Sunrise) Get in rhythm with nature. WIL alsoby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Probably should have noted that my natural LPa is 14 and by manipulating, in this case it's mainly up. While I guess you could say that if on SAD, you can manipulate it down. I was on SAD for much of my life. In general, less SFA, more carbs and PUFA raise LPa. L-carnitine and Ubiquinol have lowered it.

Pretty sure spinach and oxalates were direct contributing factors to my AFIB. Oxalate toxicity is under-recognised and under-diagnosed. It can be caused by genetic factors, a yeast fungus infection, diet, or a combination. Symptoms can include fatigue, poor sleep, joint and muscle aches and pains, brain fog, eye pain, burning sensation, vulvar pain and kidney stones.

DO not eat the farm raised crap salmon. Here's why. Large-scale salmon farms in the United States, Canada, Scotland, Norway and Chile have attracted hideous marine insects called sea lice that attach themselves to the fish, causing skin lesions and secondary infections, killing the host or rendering meat inedible. The damage these lice have inflicted has caused salmon prices to soar inby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
After my first colonoscopy MD came and told me 8 large polyps removed. I said "no more BBQ" he corrected me quickly and sternly "no more krispy kreme" He's right.

Farm raised fish has a number of issues - being fed soy, corn and seed oil feed they are high in PUFA O6 and linoleic acid. (LA) Excess LA is at the root of almost all metabolic disease: They also eat the shit of other fish and have a lot of disease and antibiotics. Salmon is very low in mercury.

Main takeaway: eat wild caught salmon, it's low in mercury and doesn't affect AF like supplements can. DO not eat the farm raised crap salmon. Personally, I buy the more expensive Nordic Naturals and take the recommended amount from the Danish study. I suspect the problem with the supplements is oxidation.

QuoteMarco I also want to point out that, I believe nobody knows, what would be the mechanism of which fish oil could cause afib. After all, real food is also safer than food supplements.
