I started drinking the "unique" water today. I drink water all the time. I will easily consume 2 liters in a day and it will not be enough. Am I suppose to limit myself to 2 liters a day? I actually probably consume 3-4 liters of water a day because I mainly drink only water because of my Intertestial Cystitus. I do not want to drink to much of the unique formula.by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
My PH of my Tap Water is around 8 - 8.2. I only put Acid into my Hot Tub to lower the PH. I do have a filter where I get my drinking water; This filter does remove the chlorine,etc. but the PH is still 8-8.2. My tap water has always been high. Actually, Chlorine will raise the PH. Chlorine has a PH of 11.6.by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have made the "concentrate" using unflavored MoM and 1 liter od Seltzer water. I want to make sure I use this right. Is this the way I mix it to drink it? It also says I should wait 24 hours before use the concentrate to make sure it is completely dissolved? Another question: The ph of my drinking water is around 8-8.2. I have a hot tub and have to use acid to bring down ph to 7.5.by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I realize it would be near to impossible to have my ablation done at the same time. I have to start looking for a place to stay. My packet came with discount hotels; I see my regular Cardiologist Dec.11. At this time, I will tell him about my appointment with Dr. Natale. I want him onboard with this decision.by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I would be stoked if he ask me if I wanted to go now after my consultation! Yes I would.by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM

Got my appointment with Dr. Andrea Natale! Jan. 21, 2014 I am nervous but I am also grateful to all my new friends who guided me to the best. It will be at least a 2 day trip but we are prepared to do what is needed.by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
Always tested negative for anything; Urine test and blood test. I have taken many antibiotocs but none since june 2013. I went to 5 Urologist before I was actually tested for Interstitial cystitis, They did a Potassium Chloride Sensitivity Test to which I tested positive. I still have my "doubts" about this test but the IC diet ,Elmiron and Elavil have helped me tremendously. I amby smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
After some "studying" this site yesterday, I see where many take suppplements. I would like to no more about this especially for someone who has Persistent AFIB. I do have a chronic disease called Interstitial cystitis . I generally avoid caffiene, anything acidic like tomatoes or even a multi vitamin. Multivitamins contain Vitamin C which is acidic. I am doing much better wby smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM

Well, I made the phone call this morning a 9 AM central to Barbra Thomas at 512-415-7830; Left a message with Barbara; I also filled out a online appointment sheet yesterday for Dr Natale; Still waiting on a return call. Patience is a virtue........by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
Shannon, My insurance will not pay for Xeralto; It would cost me over $300 dollars a month. I am going to make this call this morning. I want to thank all for the encouragement; I am discouraged and Anxiety gets high at times over this Heart issue. There is 6 kids in my family and no one else has AFIB. I just want to have the best for my situation. I have much to learn............ I willby smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM

Did you have to have a referral to see Dr. Natale?by smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I go back to my Cardiologist Dec. 11 for a follow up after my Cardioversion 3 weeks ago; I will ask him about Dr. Natale and try and get a referral from him. After discussing this with my wife of 36 years, she wants to pursue Dr. Natale in Austin. As far as my medications, I have a chronic back injury from a car wreck in 2003. The Lipitor is for my chloseterol, The aspirin for my stent in Janby smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I am not questioning Shannon's knowledge. It will be difficult for me to schedule visits to a clinic 9 hours away; Not impossible but hard. My wife is not retired. I want the best. I just worry about the follow up visits and being able to do this at such a long distance from my home; 430 miles one way. I admit I am scared. I want whats best.

Hello to all. I am a 55 year old man who has Persistent AFIB. I went for a routine physical in Dec. 2011 and was in the Hospital 2 hours later with AFIB. My Heart rate was 95 sitting bouncing above 200 when I stood up. I had no idea I was having issues. After testing and 4 weeks of Pradaxa, I had a stent put in around my Heart on Jan. 12 2012. Approx. One month later I had my 1st Electrical Cby smackman - AFIBBERS FORUM
