Eric, I love my Polar S810 (a prior model to the RS800CX). It has been a great tool. I recently upgraded to an Apple laptop. Haven't yet gotten the 810 to talk to the Mac, but also haven't really tried either. I still have my PC, so can use the Polar on it, if I need it. The issue was the IR interface, which has changed for the RS. My issue is using old technology on new hardwarby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Mike, I understand about all or nothing. I've been accused of that... I've been weight stable on my low carb plan for 3 or so years. Originally, I took off 2 1/2 stone that I'd accumulated when I played American football at university. I really enjoy having the ketones as an alternative energy source when I'm keto-adapted. I'm not always super strict diet-wby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ian, My history from 6-7 weeks ago, before I started my pre-bed flec, was no window of immunity (or perhaps 24 hours, depending upon how you look at it). I was getting afib nightly and converting with 300 mg flec. When I did a back-of-the-envelope calculations using a 12 and 24 hour half-life for the flec, I came up with an on-going serum level equivalent to 400-600 mg. Given that, andby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Recently there have been posts on a portable ECG using an iPhone <; and afib detection using an iPhone <; I've been playing around with iPhone apps from Azumio. Two have free versions, one is $4.99 US. I believe the afib detection app is based on the same or similar technology. The apps include Stress Doctor $4.99 Stress Check Instant Heart Rate They all use the camerby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Jackie, Thanks! Yes, I've consumed some Waller Water as part of my Mg++ intake to help increase pH. I wish you well in the New Year, too! Georgeby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Well, the ginger did fail after I went off the wagon, diet wise, Christmas day. I normally eat a very low carb (ketogenic) diet. We went to a Christmas party starting around 1 PM Christmas day. Even before we ate dinner around 5 PM, I noticed I was getting a PAC about every sixth beat (most likely from chowing down on carby appetizers). I took some K+, Mg++, taurine and ginger. This did awayby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Last night we had dinner about 4:30 PM (very early for me) and then went out. I took my 1 tsp ginger then. At 10:30 PM, when I got prone in bed, my HR was very slow (didn't bother to get an actual count) but regular. I got up and took a heaping 1/2 tsp of ginger. I went back to bed and my HR rectified over a half an hour or so. Woke up early in the morning and HR was normal (60ish). Sby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM

Early in my supplement remission program for afib, I had a 3 month afib free period (this follows a 2.5 month episode, terminated with 300 mg flec). I thought that taurine wasn't doing anything so, when I ran out, I did not replace it. I had an episode and then a second one a month later. I finally remembered I'd stopped the taurine. I restarted taking it and had two years afib freeby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hans, Thank you for editing my post. Point taken. I'm logged in! Georgeby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
I should note that a feature of my reduced ginger intake seems to be an increased bowel tolerance for magnesium. I'm not sure how much yet.by GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
Ian, For example, intake of something very cold might (but not always) drop my heart rate to say 38 or 40. This may or may not be accompanied by a lot of ectopic beats. I'd put frozen blueberries in a bit of almond milk and eat them, this could sometimes cause this reaction. Last summer, I helped a friend move. It was a hot day. When done, she gave me a large glass of cold water overby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
