QuoteCarey Claimed by who? Where? Never heard of it before but a quick googling suggests it's a rather dangerous substance. By a German doctor being interviewed on a Swiss channel. Unfortunately it's in German. The doctor had a heart attack in his early 40s and is still going strong at mid 70 with a special interest in Strophantin. Apparently it was used many years ago but has fallen ouby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuoteCarey Here, mains are 240V 50Hz. I wouldn't want having a try while in afib. I've already had unvolontarily, while in NSR, and it was far from funny. Mains are 120V in North America, and I've taken more than one jolt from that, including a prolonged one when I was about 12 years old. Definitely wouldn't want to sample 240V. Nope, no thanks.

With my knee problems about 10 years ago, after i went to an ortho surgeon i decided to see a podiatrist. He made shoe inserts for me and that solved my knee pain problem. With my lower back pain and many Chiro/Osteopath visits - they all helped but only for a limited time; i went to Physio and she gave me a set of exercises - they fixed my lower back pain which was at times bad enough to wake mby Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Thanks for sharing Dean!!! Reminds me of a co-worker whose elderly dog had untreatable cancer, the vet recommended euthanasia. I mentioned Graviola (Soursop) as a potentially helpful supplement. She gave a dose to the dog which made the dog vomit. So she reduced the dosage to a level the dog tolerated. After 3/4 months she said that the cancer practically (visually and by palpating) disappearedby Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

I'm one of the risk takers, according to my cardiologist, who also uses PIP anticoagulation, Being not ablated but symptomatic when in AF (or just irregular heart beats?) i chose to use Eliquis for during and a few days after AF stops.

Thank you for the link/heads-up Susan! My first AF came with hyper thyroid and later turned into a slightly hypo. I take 50 micrograms of Eutroxsig/day. That keeps my TSH and T3 at ok levels. I've also had no drinking water from the tap for about 3 years now (ours is laced with Fluoride and of course it its chlorinated a little). It has been clear for a very long time that Fluoride is inteby Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Quoteanneh thnx for response Glad to hear you are still sane Re Hawthorn, I studied herbalism and feel somewhat knowledgeable re hawthorn. It is well respected as a great herb for the heart as it can strengthen the heart and increase blood flow to the heart. I use both forms of hawthorn (leaf/berry) and make my own tinctures. It certainly helps with heart failure for instance. I know that a couby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
Interesting, wonder if our Australian government will follow? No doubt useful for people who have to go to work outside their home, and particularly lower income people.

Apparently Zn enters cells more readily with an ionophore (e.g. Quercetin) more efficiently. Don't know if absolutely required for Zn to enter.

QuoteCarey GP offers rx for ivermectin. I heard somewhere it’s arrhythmic. Also ineffective and ridiculously ill advised for someone like you. (Where do you find these doctors?) Was it a nasal swab or blood test? If it was a blood test, ignore it. All it means is you have been vaccinated or had a prior infection. It may very well be but if there is no downside in the absence of anythinby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
With many doctors being tradies/technicians following their superiors' (CDC etc.) workshop manuals ('guidlines') we may well use AE at home, at least initially. After that it is pot luck to find a real doctor in too many instancesby Joe - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Can’t tell without a good EKG. I was in a GP’s office with a clearly irregular rhythm. The put me on to a 12 lead EKG. It clearly showed irregularly R to R but I could see a definite P wave so I knew it was not a fib .

I don't get why anyone would go for cryo when there are better techniques are on offer. Do i have that wrong? Anyway, that's what i told my EP who offered cryo. He said that the first option that is usually sufficient to stop AF is pulmonary cryo. My take is that i want to reduce the chances of being poked with a massive probe twice.by Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
No I did not get out of permanent AF after massages. My second cardioversion (about 4 weeks apart) got me out of permanent AF for about two years. Then i had AF for about 2/3 weeks, saw an EP and asked him for Flec - that worked after a few days. Took it for about a year reducing the dose (from 50 mg/day 2x/day to 1x) towards the end. Since then i use flec as PIP for the last 3 or so years. Onlyby Joe - AFIBBERS FORUM
