Re: It's like Afib but with normal P wave - 9 months ago

Thanks Carey and George for your replies. I wasn't sure what it was, as it was so busy, but I knew it wasn't Afib. It was most likely caused by drinking a bottle of zero beer which I drank the evening before. I haven't had a beer for years and thought it harmless. I didn’t enjoy it that much so I won't do it again.

Re: Vaccine reply to a previous post - 1 year ago

I had a very bad experience with C19 Vax. Previously, with my protocol I was getting AF about 3 times a year. After the first Vax my AF occurred every 2nd or 3rd day. A week later I get covid toes then a few days later hives. Which took 2 months to clear up. After the second Vax more AF, which then stopped for a couple of months. Then came the boster Vax...... All hell broke loose. Lo

It feels like there are two music soundtracks playing at once - one being the NSR and then the other being a faint quivering or side to side movement that is also occurring underneath. I don’t have a kardia or Apple Watch to check, so I was just wondering if it’s possible to have electrical disturba

Conclusions: Results of this trial show that nattokinase supplementation has a null effect on subclinical atherosclerosis progression in healthy individuals at low risk for CVD. If the individuals were healthy in the first place, I suggest there would be none or very little atherosclerosis progression anyway. There is also this study which concludes that there is atherosclerosis progre

I would like to try eating it again but do bleed badly when I cut myself. I am taking 110mgs pradaxa twice daily. My EP said no as had no experience with Natto. I could try not taking the morning pradaxa when I eat Natto.

If you are taking blood thinners you will need to be careful as natto is also a blood thinner.

Re: Take away points from StopAFIB.org forum - 2 years ago

I was doing OK eating Natto every 2nd day, it reduced my afib to a couple events a year.. Then covid came and upset the apple cart, in a big way. I have since had an ablation which, so far is very successful. As I am on pradaxa, I can't take natto now, which is a shame.
