My Hospital Holiday - Tachycardia + Arrhythmia

[John Hilton]

Thanks, all. I'll cut the vitamin C to 1 gram per day. I increased it mainly to keep stools loose because the muscles that cause sciatic pain work in tandem with the muscles I use to crap! I'll see if I can find another fig tree as I've eaten all of mine. (I love to eat them frozen.)

Hello John..
While I am reading all of good wishes and remedies suggestions for you... I am wishing to you as well, to overcome all of medical problems you are facing these moments as fast as you could....
So much help you are getting from friends in Avalon... I will also have one suggestion, I didn't noticed here yet...

Organic Ozonated Castor oil... after Edgar C recommendation... so much different approach, to use it... internal or as massages, warm cotton patches ...
Here is something to ponder... research..

As I am young one... I am using EC Organic Ozonated Castor oil against Cataract.. in my eyes... every month.. for a few days some drops into each eye... doing miracles! I do not need laser procedure...

John, you are well already... everything is in our mind... it is easy to say... but it is also the truth!

Hey there John,

Your thread has revealed lots of potential help for many things! I have had back issues my entire life, having been born with mild scoliosis.. (Curvature of the spine). I later got into a vehicle accident that fractured my pelvis, and I lost a few inches in one leg until we got that all worked back into place.. After years of heavy lifting, I found that I had bulging and herniated discs both in the L4-5 area as well as my upper spine t2 area. And if that were not enough, I found out the nerve in my left leg was dying... And is now fully dead, due to spinal stenosis. I was told there was a surgery they could do to unbind the nerve cluster at the base of the spine, but I was not a candidate because I have MS, and it would cause severe inflammation.

Eventually I got the sciatica as a result... It was the worst as it paralyzed my leg instantly, and was excrusiating... I tried everything they would attempt.. And one day, I went to my homeopathic Dr. And I laughed and said, "I wish there was a way you could just put suction cups on my back and suck the nerves out of the pinched areas"...

He lit a candle, grabbed some small cups and so I asked what he was doing? And he said "Just that, I am going to pull them out"... And he began to warm these glass cups, and stick them to my buttocks with a vacuum like grip.. I laid there feeling ridiculous, but was willing to try anything at that point... By the time I left his office, I was crying...

I was crying because IT WORKED.... I still take pain relievers from the damage to my spine of my bones grinding together in the days when my discs were not preventing it... But I have zero issues with sciatica. I still have spinal stenosis... bulging discs, and all of those things, but I also have my mobility back...

I do not know if this would work for you. And I felt ridiculous even asking, as I saw that my hindside looked like I got into a fight with an octopus... Until I realized this man had just given me my life back... It's definately worth looking into.. One treatment and done, no supplements, anti inflammatory supplements for the stenosis, just instant relief.. (Although I do take some anti inflammatory ingredients regularly now for my MS... )

[Denise/Dizi]

Thank You John, for the ivermectin info. I have been dealing with the MS for a great number of years, and have had great success in keeping it at bay to the point where I can function and hide the fact that I even have it for the most part. Which I find to be incredible since at one point, I literally bough a wheelchair, and figured that was where I would end up in the very near future.

I take very good care of myself now, and applaud everyone who takes their own well being back into their own hands.. It took years to realize that we have been fooled into giving away our own responsibility for our own wellbeing..

More recently I suffered a major seizure that landed me in the hospital by way of an ambulance. I don't remember any of it of course... One moment I was standing up talking to a few people, the next thing I know I woke up with my oldest son sitting at my feet, and I was laying in a bed in the emergency room...

I have my own suspicions about what caused that however.. And certain;y I do not believe it has anything to do with diet, exercise, self care or the like, but more to do with 5G, Wban tech, wifi and Covid technologies.. I didn't get the injection, but that doesn't mean the prep for the shots hasn't affected those of us who wanted to NOT be implanted.

This new turn of events should keep my mind busy for quite some time now hahaha.

Hello Denise, John and others,

Thankfully my problems are not as bad as yours, but they are also mine... I'm very, very interested.

Seems like I was 'hurt' quite badly when I was a very small baby. I was told that I 'fell from window sill'. My clavicle was broken (I was told, I can feel the broken point), but I have also a very strange small bone formation in my left foot, and another in my back.

The back-thing causes 'mild scoliosis', and foot-bone slight additional pressure to my back. In my teens I was advised (very smartly!) to excercise, to strengthen the muscles that hold the 'package'.

That advise has worked well, and every time I have began to be 'lazy', or sit in a 'too comfortable' chair, the pains have returned.

Perhaps 'strong' muscles do the same thing as acupuncture -- as in relieving nerves from the pain of 'wrong' position?

(I have also something to say about non-serious but irritating tachycardia... As my half-working 'tests' are on-going, more later.)

Ivermectin is one of a number of "supplements" that are recommended by a certain group of doctors for dealing with the spike protein. My wife is "fully vaxed", which is why I take certain supplements. I'm not a believer in the "shedding theory" but I do believe in taking sensible precautions just in case.

When the spine is weakened by age or injury, there are some muscle groups that need to be strengthened in order to support the spine better.

I just came across this paper:
Avoiding heart disease https://cardiacos.net/wp-content/upl...Heart-cure.pdf

Update: I'm now walking without a crutch but only short distances before the sciatic leg pain returns. I'll continue to have twice-weekly physiotherapy but it's been postponed due to national holidays here in Greece.

That is an excellent paper you found, John. It is specific and comprehensive and appears to detail an easy protocol for everyone to follow.

I am going to suggest that Bill might add it to the Avalon library.
Thanks!

[John Hilton]

Apologies for forgetting to update this discussion.
Five sessions of (very painful) physiotherapy completely cured my back and leg pain. I'm now walking in the early morning every day, beginning with a steep hill (cardiac workout for about 7 minutes, which gets my pulse up to 140 bpm) followed by a walk on fairly level roads and then downhill. I vary the route so it's usually only 1 - 2 km.

I finally decided to take the anticoagulants because of the arrhythmia, which can apparently allow the formation of a blood clot in the upper attrial (?) chamber of the heart, which could be pumped to the brain, causing a "stroke". Initially, I was taking one "Daxirem" capsule per day but my GP informed me that I should be taking one every 12 hours. Now that I'm doing that, any break in the skin bleeds profusely. I'm worried that I could have internal bleeding if I fall or knock myself. The instructions say "seek medical help if you bang your head"!

Now I've had to switch to "Pradaxa" from "Daxirem" because the latter is suddenly unobtainable here. And it's costing me 33 Euros per month WITH insurance.

Frankly, I'm tempted to stop taking the anticoagulant and take my chances. The only heart symptoms I can feel is an occasional "missed beat" (it seems to me).

I think, however, that I was lacking potassium so I'm taking potassium citrate supplement and using potassium chloride instead of table salt. A book that I read states that one should consume four times as much potassium as sodium for correct cellular function.

Arrhythmia is caused by incorrect electrical signalling in the heart and this must surely be influenced by calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Any shortage or imbalance is likely to affect muscle function, in my opinion. Ablation is sometimes used to "cure" arrhythmia but its effects rarely last more than four years. So I'm looking for a dietary solution.

I'm eating a small amount of locally grown lettuce each morning (for potassium). I chop it up and add vinegar, olive oil and a tiny sprinkle of potassium chloride salt. I've also added a daily handful of almonds and walnuts to my diet.

Comments welcomed.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Sounds real good, John.

Other than the walking and stretching, which are very good exercises for your heart, try deep breathing - standing and sitting. You can add big arm movements to deepen the breath. This will oxygenate the heart cells and make electrical signals more regular.

If you can, inverted poses like shoulder stand or head stand would be beneficial. Forward bends (sitting/standing) can be used alternatively.

Hope that helps.

I finally got a call from the hospital just before Christmas. They want me to go on Thursday 9th January for a heart stress test. I understand that they will pump radioactive selenium into me, which will have a (literally) scintillating effect. I'll be radiating gamma.

Any advice, apart from "don't do it!"?

Sending good vibes your way, John. No Advice. Only a recycled message and some bits of info from a quick search, though there's no mention of selenium below.

How long does radioactive material stay in body after nuclear stress test?

With most of the tracers used, the radioactivity will be almost completely gone by the following day.

Is it safe to be around someone after nuclear stress test?

The amount of radiation we use in these tests is similar to that given by other diagnostic X-ray tests. Try to urinate frequently for 24 hours after any tests that used radiopharmaceuticals to lessen the radiation exposure. It shouldn't be a problem to be around other people and to use a bathroom normally.

Stress Tests (Complete article from MedLine Plus.)

What are stress tests?

Stress tests show how well your heart works when it's pumping hard. Some heart diseases are easier to find when your heart is working its hardest to pump blood through your body. So stress tests check your heart while you exercise on a treadmill or stationary bicycle. If you're not able to exercise, medicine can be used to make your heart work harder , as if you were exercising.

There are different types of stress tests. They all check:

• Blood flow in your heart
• Your blood pressure
• The rate and rhythm of your heartbeat
• The strength of the electrical signals that control your heartbeat

Some stress tests also take pictures of your heart at rest and when it's working hard. The pictures provide more detail about how your heart is working.

Other names: exercise stress test, treadmill test, stress EKG, stress ECG, exercise tolerance test, exercise EKG, stress echocardiogram, nuclear stress test, thallium stress test, sestamibi stress test, cardiac MRI stress test, myocardial perfusion imaging test, cardiac single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), stress perfusion test.

{snip}

Stress tests with pictures include stress echocardiograms, nuclear stress tests, and cardiac (heart) MRI stress tests. These tests have extra steps:

A stress echocardiogram or "echo" takes moving pictures of your heart using doppler ultrasound. The pictures show the size and shape of your heart and blood flow through your heart. Pictures will be taken before and after your heart has worked its hardest. You'll lie on your left side on a table as a provider moves an ultrasound device on your chest. If you exercise on a bicycle, the second set of pictures may be taken while you're pedaling.

A nuclear stress test takes pictures of your heart using a small amount of a radioactive substance called a “tracer” and a special camera that scans your heart. A provider injects the tracer into your bloodstream through an IV line that's placed in a vein. Your heart and blood vessels absorb the tracer, which makes them show up more clearly in the pictures.

Pictures are taken while you lie on a table before and after your heart has worked its hardest. After the test, the tracer naturally leaves your body in your urine (pee). Drinking lots of water will help remove it faster.

A cardiac MRI stress test takes the most detailed pictures of your heart using radio waves, magnets, and a computer. It is a newer test that's mostly used for very serious heart problems. For an MRI stress test:

• A provider may inject dye into your bloodstream through an IV line placed in your arm. Some cardiac MRIs, but not all, use dye to help show very small details on the pictures.

• Pictures of your heart may be taken before and after your heart has worked hard. To take the pictures, you'll lie on a table that slides into a large, tunnel-like MRI machine. You'll hear loud sounds as the machine takes pictures. If you're exercising for the test, you may use a treadmill near the MRI, or you may exercise while lying in the MRI machine using special devices to move your arms or legs.

Are there any risks to the test?

Stress tests are usually safe. You will be closely watched during the test. If a problem develops, you'll be treated quickly. Medicines that make your heart work harder sometimes cause symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or nausea. An IV may bruise your arm.

The tracers and dyes used in nuclear and MRI stress tests may cause an allergic reaction, but this is rare.

Hi John

I just read most of this thread and have a couple of suggestions. You are probably aware of them but if not....................

• For cardiac arrhythmia, consider getting a small (credit card size) EKG machine. There are many on the market, and they are reasonably inexpensive (about $80-100) I suggest getting one that does not require a monthly subscription payment but can still send real time information to your doctor on a free app. This is what I am talking about. This will allow you to monitor your heart and stop your cardiologist from trying to put you on blood thinners.
• Consider water therapy. This will strengthen the muscles around your spine and reduce if not eliminate inflammation. Sometimes land base exercises exacerbate the problems. In the water, you can still get a great workout that will allow you back to doing land-based exercises and long walks.
• Also turmeric is a great supplement for pain and inflammation.

I wish you well with your stress test, don't worry you won't glow for too long (lol).

[John Hilton]

Thanks for your posts. I made a mistake. The radioactive material is Technetium-99m.

As a result of the tachydardia and arrhythmia last July, the doctor prescribed blood thinners, statins and beta blockers. I waited a month and did research before I decided to take anticoagulants for now. After I get the stress test results, I'll reassess the need. I have zero side effects from the anticoagulant (dabigatran etexilate). I did expect bruising but it hasn't happened. I don't take statins. I've used beta blockers a total of four times.

I put turmeric and black pepper on my breakfast eggs. I also take four turmeric and black pepper pills every day. I take other stuff which I think I listed already. Most of it supposedly has a blood thinning effect and should NOT be taken with blood thinners. But I do it anyway.

Every morning I walk up "cardiac hill". This is a steep road that goes up to our village. My pulse usually hits 140 bpm by the time I stagger to the top. Yes, it makes me breathless but I don't get any chest pain.

Instructions before test (translation): https://files.catbox.moe/tluwux.pdf
Instructions after test: https://files.catbox.moe/vwftzs.pdf

Something I forgot to mention: Because of back and leg pain I was unable to exercise for months up until the July event (and after). I had occasional "gasps". It felt as if my heart stopped beating for a second and made me draw my breath in sharply. This effect continued but in the last couple of weeks it seems to have stopped or become unnoticeable.

John, in case you weren’t kidding… if it were my hill, I’d call it “health hill”. The brain is programable. Progress in wellbeing is a process of in-put and out-put; a conscious effort of what I upload and delete.

Thoughts and words are powerful.

[John Hilton]

Yes, good point. But in my mind it's just a good heart exercise. Apologies for the tardy reply. My wife and I drove to the south coast and back yesterday so we were away all day.

There are lots of things I could say as generalities Nattokinase etc but this may be helpful if so inclined and it is cost free.
If you are so inclined check out Jonathan Goldman and his humming effect. I have the book in EPUB but don't know how to post it. But if you are at all interested check out this short vid for a quick lesson on how it works and how to do it. I hope this works.
