OK, I get it ... silence speaks louder than words.by NoNOACster - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hi Jackie, I'd like to pass on my experience coming from my recent visit to the cardiologist who had been assigned to me during my one-day stay at a hospital about 10 days ago. Because I was careless and unknowingly imbibed some energy tea containing a perfect storm of afib triggers, I developed a scary tachycardia with a pulse of 126, I spent about 7 hours overnight in the ER. I was offby NoNOACster - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hi Jackie, Thanks for your additional information! That's a lot of content to consider and weave into my own situation. I have also found studies for the supplements you mention; some of them seem very familiar to me. For example, the use of pycnogenol, which, if I am recalling it correctly was used along with nattokinase, making the trial results unclear for the benefits for either oneby NoNOACster - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank you, Jackie, Thanks for your comprehensive reply! I've noted your list of risk markers and their acceptable ranges; I was aware of the homocysteine and the CRP, but not the others. So now I have a good guide for re-examining and evaluating my most recent lab tests ordered by my primary care physician. They were all in their "normal" ranges according to my doc, but I have nby NoNOACster - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Jackie, Thank you for responding so quickly. I am especially appreciative, because you are a very successful afibber with much experience with supplements. My main interest in posting my last message was to add to your previous message about Cardiokinase. From reading it I got the impression that any other brand of nattokinase was not reliable, or would probably be improperly labeled due tby NoNOACster - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Jackie (and others), I found a description of another nattokinase product (LifeExtension) that seems to have well-documented properties. The associated webpages (see the two links below) also have comprehensive information on various supplements relevant to afibbers. Click on the "Life Extension suggestions" and "quick menu" for even more information. See below for moby NoNOACster - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Travis, Regarding the amount of NK you are asking about, to make it useful to you, you would actually have to also know Jackie's body weight - so you could calculate her effective dose as mass in milligrams per kg (or pounds) of body weight. That way, you could calculate your effective dosage, using Jackie's "proper dosing" as a reliable reference. The generally accby NoNOACster - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Jackie, Thanks for your comprehensive reply to my questions. It has taken me awhile to absorb its content since you cover several different phases of your experience over many years. I am going to take another look at the details you report about those underlying factors that determined how much or those supplements in your favorite cluster you took. That approach might be the only way fby NoNOACster - AFIBBERS FORUM
Searching pubmed abstracts, I have found some encouraging results for individual foods and supplements that improve cardiovascular conditions (i.e., thins the blood or reduces the tendency of blood platelets to coagulate) - in particular for fish oils, nattokinase, garlic (fresh only, 1 to several cloves daily), and bromelain (fibrinolytic, antithrombolic; up to 12 grams daily).
