D-Ribose
Posted by Susan (Asheville, NC, USA) on 02/03/2025
Has anyone used D-ribose for A-fib? I opted not to take prescription meds and some of the natural blood thinners I take are: natto kinasse, gingko biloba, phosphatidyl choline, quercitine, alpha lipoic, Vitamin E...both tochoperol & tocotrienol. C, magnesium, cod liver oil, turmeric, multi, L-carnitine, and some others. My diet is healthy/plant based with occasional fish. I'm still concerned, as I still feel my heart racing at times (right now) and on 3 or 4 occasions, I have gone into A-fib which always frightens me. I've heard of good relults with D-Ribose and would like your feedback. Thanks, Susan

Hi Eve,
Arjuna has blood thinning properties so it is recommended to first consult with your practitioner and adjust your anticoagulant accordingly during therapy.

Inflammation Causes AFib
Posted by Zander (Anytown, USA) on 12/30/2024
★★★★★
Many of us have struggled to understand what sets of a dreaded afib episode and wondered how in the world it started to begin with. Was it the late night candy bar? The heavy meal? Too much whisky?
Well, you don't have to wonder any longer. Afib is caused by inflammation. The attacks are initiated due to inflammation.
Find out what is causing your body to produce an inflammatory response and you're well on your way to understanding what caused it, what causes it to recur and being rid of it. Address the inflammation.

Stop Bovine Thyroid Glandulars
Posted by Zander (Anytown, USA) on 12/06/2024
★★★★★
Sometimes afib isn't about what to add so much as what to stop. The thyroid hormones are in a delicate balance in the body that your heart has grown accustomed to since your birth. Pure bovine thyroid glandulars can be very useful for a time but if you take too much, or take them too long - and please bear in mind your need for them changes - you can end up with afib.
I struggled through a terrifying month of afib with no idea why it was happening. I wasn't doing anything differently. And that was the problem. I no longer needed the bovine thyroid glandular (I had been sub-clinical hypothyroid at last testing) but had continued to take half a dose daily (65 mg of New Zealand bovine thyroid glandular.) Well, that had flooded my system with T3 it simply did not need and didn't know what to do with.
Take note of ALL of the supplements, medications, OTC drugs you have been taking and do a meticulous search of side-effects.
It took 72 hour after stopping for my heart to stop its afib that had been quite violent at times and even kept me up every other night, nearly all night.
PS - Another supplement that aggravated my heart while the BTG was in excess was passion flower. It added ventricular pounding to the atrial. Look at everything you're taking!
MSM

MSM - Afib, Digestion, and Cardiovascular Health
I came upon some claims that pure crystalline MSM aided digestion tremendously. I happened to have some, but had not taken it a long while. In reviewing dozens of posts, here I have seen many references to digestion, food triggers and the like which precipitated afib attacks. So I thought something purported to aid digestion like MSM might be worth a try. I have to say, I felt an improvement in my digestion within 20 minutes. Not only that, I felt my heart rhythm stabilize and disappear into the background where it's supposed to be. I was not in a full on afib attack when I took the 3 gm dose, but just not feeling comfortable. I had been in an afib episode earlier in the day. The MSM also improved my mood, somehow as I had been feeling rather anxious about the afib issue, mainly. I'm tentatively going to say this has helped. I am starting slow and may just stay at this 3 gm once a day as it has been known to induce palpitations in some - the very last thing one need with afib, of course. I would say it's worth researching.

Hi Laz, I found a video on YouTube.York Cardiology England a few years ago regarding the vagus nerve, stomach, palpitations and the digestion of food. This Cardiologist explains why your heart has irregular beats sometimes and the connection with the vagus nerve. I notice he has put out several more videos. One is called Palpitations and the Vagus nerve and the other one is The Gastrocardiac Syndrome. This really help me to understand my irregular heart beats.I also started taking magnesium, your heart and muscles love magnesium, lol

This is very interesting. I have had AF on and off for 34 years. It used to happen very infrequently to begin with but over the years, especially in the past 10 years it increased in frequency to around 4-5 a year, each lasting an average of 6 hours. Over the past two years they have become more frequent with one episode about every two months or less. Three weeks ago I had another episode which lasted more than 12 hours, so I got myself to hospital and to cut the story short, I was sent home with beta-blockers and an anticoagulant.
This was by way of a background, but my main point in response to this post is that I also have what I describe as chronic constipation and sometimes other digestive issues. Especially since my hospital admission, I have been getting frequent but short-lasting episodes of atopic beats (a few odds heart beats, which quickly revert to natural 'sinus' rhythm). At the same time, I often feel a sensation which seems to originate from my guts but I can't distinguish from a possible cardiac origin, which makes me wonder whether it is a cardiac or gastric issue. After reading this article, I am wondering whether the effect of pressure from an only partially emptied large intestine on the vagal nerve, could have an effect on the heart, and be the culprit with regard to my AF. I am going to start a quest on finding ways of dealing with my very long-standing bowel issue, which will hopefully help not only with my AF but also result in better removal of toxins from the body, which will have benefits in every respect.
Thank you for this article.

I think I have written on this subject before. I have had Afib all my life. It can be caused by many things like thyroid, vagus nerve irritation, dehydration, deficiencies of various minerals, etc.
I want to share/update my story: I was using 2 tbsp of olive oil per day (calms vagus nerve), one drop of potassium iodide, adrenals, magnesium and calcium, taurine, coq 10 and b vitamins-all of which helped a lot! The medications did not help at all. Then a weird thing happened. I got acute mononucleosis at 65 years of age. I was hospitalized repeatedly because my salt levels dropped so low that it was life threatening. My Afib went absolutely crazy. I realized that salt was maybe a factor. One of the doctors said that your body keeps salt in tight control so that your heart can beat correctly. If you run low, it will take it from your bones (! ). If it can't find the salt anywhere….well you're ready to meet your maker. I never liked salt and guess I was deficient prior to getting sick.
I have recovered completely from the mono BUT I started taking 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt per day. If my heart starts skipping, I immediately go for the salt or sometimes take Biolyte (a rehydration drink). This has just about eradicated my Afib. It's worth considering if you have this problem, especially with low blood pressure. Do not use processed salt. Only sea or natural salt. Hope that this helps someone out there. Can't believe it was that simple!!!! This site has been so helpful. 💚💙❤️💜

We are electrical beings. Once electricity stops running through our bodies we are dead. This is not science, but common sense.
”The age of biophysical understanding is approaching and this understanding will effectively end the paradigm of understanding biochemical basis of life.”
This is a huge topic few understand or want to understand, for it is engraved in our brains - we are what we eat (digest).
I am not a scientist of any sorts. I have a compromised heart function with no rhyme or reason. Official diagnosis is Dysautonomia, POTS variety, so to speak. I was diagnosed 13 years ago and one of those people who didn't respond to any treatment, diet or lifestyle change.
POTS is not just an elevated heart rate upon standing when BP remains normal. My heart goes into such acrobatics and weird rhythms that it surprises me I am still alive. My EKG is always abnormal and 13 years of heart dysfunction has weakened it.
I know for sure, 100%, that I am an EMF sensitive person. Not sure why but it is a fact.. I started thinking that being Rh negative has something to do with it..Science only looks into Rh negative from the pregnancy point of view assuming we are no different from Rh positive. But the difference is huge, in fact we are sort of different species so to speak. Only 2% are Rh negative
So if someone experiences any heart rhythm problems, should first observe their living and working environment for EMF levels and test it for the dirty electricity. They should distance their bodies from EMF emitting devices, including Apple Watch and take other measures to shield themselves from harmful EMF exposure. Remember that inflicting damage on your body is silent yet cumulative..
Once you have done that you can focus on diet, supplements, etc. But without first reducing the EMF levels in your environment, diet and supplements won't accomplish much.
There is a saying: One can't get healthy in the same environment he got sick. 100% true

For anyone with Atrial Fibrillation, try the following, stop eating chocolate (SOB) it has phenethylamine, which stimulates the heart. Even smoked foods can have an effect.. Also anything fermented, yes that includes yoghurt, cheese, cured meats and pickled foods. Even overripe foods can cause palpitations. l found that not eating chocolate made a big difference to my palpitations. Very sad!

Nattokinase was reported to cause arrhythmias in 3.3% of trial participants according to pub media.nih.gov article.
Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky 3% and nattokinase caused my arrhythmia, I believe. I got worse day by day for a couple of weeks until I figured it out by way of research and elimination. I suggest you drop the nattokinase and see if your arrhythmia goes away.
Notice that one of the cures to arrhythmia is to avoid soy.

I can only tell you about the magnesium - I use the spray - magnesium oil - the pills give me diarrhea (sp) spray it on my arms and throat on the veins and jugular area so it gets to my bloodstream. I am told that you can't overdo it since your body will dispose of what it does not need. I do a pinch of borax in my drinks to control osteomyelitis - it seems to be working too. The mag oil carries the borax into the bone for me.

Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) GONE…HOW???? WHY???
Well, I have used all the treatments on here, but not until I found the reason it was happening.
My esophagus has thin skin, the nerves of the vagus nerve are irritated when you have reflux/eaten aggravating foods. Then the vagus nerve gets irritated….that is why magnesium (calms nerves), advil (removes inflammation), water (coats throat temporarily and stops dehydration), but no one could identify WHY…
THIS IS WHY…so stop the inflammation, the reflux (hiatial hernia is popped up, push it down), drink pickle juice to reduce acid to help reflux).
NO MORE PACS, NOTHING. Eat ice cream to help inflammation, but mostly, get the reflux under control, use epsom salt to keep a relaxed airway, and you WON'T HAVE ANY MORE PACS.
Being a margarita drinker, thought it was alcohol…no unless you are dehydrated, it was the lime juice causing reflux, then causing inflammation of the vagus nerve, then the cycle begins and won't end until you get the vagus nerve to calm down and not be inflamed.
FINALLY, THANK GOD, I always thought I was going to die, now, a HUGE SENSE OF RELIEF….
I hope this helps someone.

https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/71266
Here is a relevant quote :
' Chronic melatonin supplementation, either in physiological or pharmacological ranges, protects against arrhythmias [8, 21, 97, 163, 169, 189, 191, 192]. Beyond the reported antioxidant properties of melatonin, it reduces severe ventricular arrhythmias by antifibrotic mechanisms, electrical remodeling, direct mitochondrial protection, myocardial Cx43 preservation via PKC signaling, and vitamin D-HSP70/AT1 counterbalance (Figure 2).

Would love to hear from you if you are still on the site? I just started Arjuna, and feel pretty hopeful about the a-fib I began having this year. I can feel mine, but it only happens once in awhile.

Hello Patg, I would so love to hear from you again if you are around? I was just diagnosed with sight a-fib and the cardio wanted me on drugs, and a battery of tests I don't believe are necessary. I'll just wait and see if you are around the forum but I'll add that I am already eating a Ketogenic diet, but with dairy. My cheese and yogurt are of course processed so I probably will need to get rid of those foods, also butter.
Anyone is welcome to respond, but I can tell you I am nervous and afraid because I have a pace-maker that was put in 1997. So I am on my 3rd now. I have led an active lifestyle, but was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes just over a year ago, but have that under control by dropping all sugars & carbs except for cruciferous vegies, and the small, very low carb nuts, chia seeds, and the yogurt I eat is just 2 g of sugar and didn't spike my Blood glucose.
I just don't trust conventional doctors and their tests any longer, or, big pharma's drugs. I only take supplements, and they are only Mag., and B1, B12 right now. Thank you in advance for any help.

Referring to Hwk's comments about doctor's ways, 2016, I just saw a so called doctor, he was a "hospitalist" working in a clinic as a doctor who, very early in the conversation told me flat out to stop taking any supplements because none of them work! If he wanted to impress me, he should have kept that to himself. Since low thyroid runs in my family, and I do have it and mentioned that I had to get off levothyroxine because of the side effects, he told me levothyroxine is a very good drug, very effective. When I mentioned a book called "Stop the Thyroid Madness" which addresses the problems some of us have when taking synthetic thyroid, he sneered and said that book has been completely debunked. When I mentioned the blog run by the woman who wrote the book, and all the entries by people who are having problems trying to take Synthroid or Levo or what have you drugs, he didn't say anything. At another point he said supplements are not regulated by the FDA and they are not tested. So I mentioned that there is a government website, National Institutes of Health?, that shows extensive testing of many supplements, herbal, etc. Again he said nothing. Think I should go back to see this guy?? Lol!!!

I had AFIB for a while, most of the time after eating and sometimes not.
I decide not to eat after 7.00pm and let my stomach rest. Also, I found trapped gas in the upper digestive system always started the AFIB.
I would force the burp but sometimes not enough, but a couple of days with not eating past my 7.00pm time and it has practically gone. I tried lots of supplements but I cut down on these and just not eating lots of different foods and only eating when your stomach signals (not your mind and the habits) it has saved me so far ( approx 3 weeks).
I think the foods produce gas that may push the diaphragm close to touching the Heart and so causing the AFIB ( my theory).

I had terrible afib but would not take drugs. I luckily found ReMag magnesium which is the best — it goes directly into the cells & also you can take as much as you need without getting diarrhea. Also what I've found by trial & error is diet is key for me. My afib always happens around food. I have found that giving up carbs, pasta, pizza, bread, sugar & processed foods is key. If you really want to knock it out, try juicing & eating raw fruits & vegetables 80%, and 20% cooked food — but giving up dairy & gluten. I did this & I didn't even need to take the magnesium because the afib was gone!
l think my afib is vagus nerve related & most recently I had another problem called IC. Both of these problems happens around food. I researched like crazy & I believe now that both are autoimmune problems triggered by eating. I believe I got these problems from taking way too much Levequin & Cipro. When I did the juicing & raw food diet, both problems disappeared after a week. The other thing that I think really helped is these IC aloe capsules I found...I think aloe somehow helps the gut & digestion.

Cayenne may interfere with blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin, aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen. For this reason, doctors usually recommend their patients to stop taking cayenne pepper in medical dosing form at least two weeks before and two weeks after the surgery. With that being said, if I were facing Atrial Fibrillation (a friend of mine currently is and this is what I told him). None of the pills or even stopping and starting of his heart to reset the rhyme has worked. God put cayenne pepper here on earth for a reason. Monitor your heart rhyme, blood thickness, start with small doses, stop stressing over the small stuff and put the dam pepper in your mouth!

I got the idea from taking liquid hydration for muscle cramps and running to the bathroom hoping I would not leave a trail. I think it was due to high potassium levels & not enough sodium in pure form in controlled amount but it did what no MD could do in a day, no less, it started to smooth out, it`s not perfect but vast improvement.

Mold? Were you exposed to mold?
Some time ago i suffered from anxiety, racing repetative thoughts, headaches and body pain especially after eating, insomnia.
I was experimenting with different treatments and took a large dose of coloidal silver (1/4 cup) and lugol's iodine (+2 droppers 2%) one night before going to bed. Everything stopped and i felt very much at peace. I fell asleep and woke up the next morning feeling great. It comes back now and then. I think it may be related to drinking and bathing in contaminated water. Other things that help are fresh turmeric and ginger smoothies and raw garlic, castor oil taken internally.
Motherwort

Two words: Motherwort Tincture.
I have the palpitations, skipped beats, slow heart beat, fast heart beat, high blood pressure, panic attacks, etc.
I read a review of Motherwort tincture that convinced me to give it a try. Why not, I've tried everything else. Magnesium, potassium, Arginine, Lysine, dehydrated beet powder, cayenne, garlic, ginger, hawthorn, etc, etc, etc.
Many of these have helped immensely and kept me from dying. Motherwort stops my sudden high heartbeats, and palpitations as soon as it starts. It's cheap, and tastes like hell, but it may be a real help. Order a bottle and let us know how it has helped you.

Hi ORH -
I echo mmsg's sentiments – it's good to hear from you.
I'm not an A Team member but my mother had Afib and, although her magnesium levels were fine, her potassium levels were dangerously low so she had to use potassium supplements to get it higher (her appetite had declined so diet really wasn't an option). Potassium really helped (evidently, we need 4,700 mg of potassium daily).
You might find the following interesting.

I'm glad Bill (definitely an A Team member!) responded to you as well . . .
Take care.

Hi ORH... I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with Afib. I only have two suggestions for you. First you should start taking a herb called Arjuna terminalia. In Ayurvedic medicine, this herb is a much revered herb for the heart. This herb resolves a multitude of heart problems including Afib. And when I say it's revered -- it's been a mainstay treatment for multifarious heart problems in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. That means that Arjuna works. Arjuna is a well known cardioprotective and cardiotonic. Arjuna acts to strengthen the heart, corrects heart rhythms, stops hardening of the arteries, cures angina, cures edema and also has anti-inflammatory action. Dosage is 500mg per day to a max dose of 1500mg per day (in 3 split dosages). Arjuna has no known or observable side-effects. It's very safe.
https://www.ayurtimes.com/terminalia-arjuna-arjun-tree/
Secondly you should seriously consider taking curcumin or tumeric powder as a heart protective. There has been much research on the beneficial activities of tumeric for the heart and I haven't got room to discuss all it's other many benefits here. I'm currently regularly taking organic tumeric in yellow powder form as a heart protective, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, brain protective(anti-dementia), hepatoprotective and anti-fungal because you will get the benefit of the oil soluble curcumin plus the benefit of all the other water soluble constituents of tumeric powder as well. Here's some of the research on tumeric/curcumin:
https://www.turmericforhealth.com/turmeric-benefits/how-turmeric-benefits-your-heart
I just take my tumeric dose with my coffee and here's how I prepare it. I add a teaspoon of organic tumeric powder to the coffee cup. Then I add some pepper. Pepper contains piperine which will increase the absorption of tumeric into your body by a factor of about 2000 times. Then I just add some coconut oil because curcumin is oil soluble. Mix well. Then add the coffee and hot water and just sip it down. I take this once or twice a day with coffee from the bean. Also bear in mind that tumeric is a very useful anti-fungal. I mention this because fungus, as well as bacteria and viruses, can and do invade the heart muscle region to cause serious problems. I also freely admit to being somewhat paranoid about fungus -- I never want fungus dominating my body ever again. I also know that you've said in the past that you are still battling with candida problems. And, since candida can invade any organ or tissue in the body, maybe that fungus is the root cause of all your heart problems. So there's another good reason to take tumeric.
Just trying to cover all the bases. All the best to you...

Dear ORH
Now that I finally got something posted on here I'll add what the article said about marjoram. I copied it but didn't include the reference. I am looking...
"Marjoram helps to widen and relax blood vessels easing the flow of blood which takes strain off the heart and reduces BP."
I would suggest you Google compatibility with other meds you are taking.

Marjoram contains carvacrol that is supposed to do the same thing for the heart as carvedilol but without the fillers.

I no longer have a desktop I can type on easier so this repy is not easy. Hubs diagnosed with leukemia two years ago. I looked up all ingredients of drugs he was put on, side effects and compatibility. He was on all kinds of drugs that have side effects that include high blood pressure. He was then put on drugs for high blood pressure and told he may have to have open heart surgery. The drugs for HBP were two strengths of carvedilol that he couldn't continue to take because they made him feel so bad. Without wordy detail, marjoram contains carvacrol that is supposed to do the same thing as carvedilol just not as fast and doesn't include other fillers. Personally I feel, and it has been my experience that the binders, fillers and capsules cause more problems. I hope this will help. I just started using it. I am going to try to spin it into a powder.

ORH here,,,,,,,,,, life is still interesting as my AFIB is roaring since the Doc had to abort my ablation due to a kink in my Venus vein. His Rx are worse than death so I stopped all but the blood thinner. At 83, I have lived a full life. The only reason I want to keep on keeping on is to tell folks my stories. I have shot a bull in the ass in my life and have many stories to tell. Folks that just do hand games , have no stories to tell. I ask the Lord to give me wisdom to solve my own problems. I think he wants me to ask some of you that have been down this trail. I am doing all that I have read to do, but nothing is helping.
Would appreciate what any have done to keep their heart from going crazy. I do Mg, ACV, Iodine , Cayenne, CoQ10, Hawthorne, Taurine, and CBD. I stay on my PEMF mat, nebulize Glutathione, spray 1/2 % H202 into my nostrils day and night. Lots more.
Half smart, so don't need advice from a novice. Need an A Team member to step up and suggest a path. Thank you. ORH

Hello Helena, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I have atrial Fib too for about 8 months. I don't take any medication. Could you tell me please, where is the location that she used massager, in the front side or back side? Thanks.

My Mum has had atrial Fib for many years, she is 89, ended up in hospital many times because of it and also had very high pulse. Medications don't work anymore, she also had pacemaker fitted in many years ago but it didn't seem to work for atrial Fib. She also had 3 cardioversions, last one before last Christmas. I wanted to share what she did to bring her heart beat and pulse to normal. She had shoulder pain and used electric massage to relieve the pain, as last cardioversion worked only for a few hours she was back to square one with her heart going like crazy and high pulse, so she had an idea to put this massage gadget near her heart but on the other side not close to her pacemaker and she noticed that after a few minutes her heart rhythm came back to normal. It was a month ago more or less, she used it a few times when it started again and it calmed down straight away and her pulse came down. She was amazed herself and so was I but happy that something worked for her as it is a horrible and frightening illness. She told her GP about it another day and her doctor was very interested how she did it and said it's a home cardioversion she did and was happy for her. I wanted to share it, maybe somebody would benefit from it.

Hi, I too find ginger helpful and believe my afib has to do with vagus aggravation. Eating can bring it on and lately lying down seems to bring on! Always thought it was more to do with my stomach than heart so never did well on the heart meds they tried to give me! Just take very low dose of a beta blocker daily now which I don't even think I need! I also was put on “Cipro” for a UTI right before I was diagnosed and strongly believe this was responsible for bringing it on too! These antibiotics are very toxic! I do take taurine & Hawthorn & Mg which I think help but haven't found anything that has stopped it! Just treat it! That's the best we can do I guess.

So I too was diagnosed with Afib & it was pretty bad. I realized that it seemed to happen when eating or sleeping so I was thinking it was coming from my stomach & not my heart as the doctor says — so I refused all medication. Through trial & error, I found something that got rid of it. First, ReMag magnesium (I take 1/4 tsp in water & sip throughout the day) and the big improvement came by taking ginger — I use Now brand Ginger Root Extract with 5% gingerols. If you don't have that, I use ginger from the spice aisle, 1/4 tsp. in a small glass of water. These 2 has basically made my afib disappear but if I get any signs of it, ginger knocks it out in like 10 minutes. I just read on a site that someone stopped their Afib by taking enzymes when they eat & probiotics in the morning. I'm gonna add that in just for “insurance”. My theory is that I got this Afib from taking levequin, which damaged or aggrevated my vagus nerve. I'm thinking that most Afib comes from a problem with the vagus nerve — research it on the web & you will find lots of info.

HI U RSW,,,,,,,,,, we have corresponded over the years and I appreciate your post. You know that my idol, Hulda Clarke, always said that all disease is because of parasites. MD Anderson is not a favorite place of mine.
Had lots of kin and friends go there and they were not helped at all. All died. I research and this new bunch has my interest. They think my heart problem is either due to my skeleton alignment or a toxin. I think they are right. Something is messin up my brain to heart talk. EDTA Chelation was supposed to be my savior. I had no clue about this electrical communication thing. I will reread your URL and maybe start eating dog stuff.
I know that I have had low grade cancer several times and handled that naturally. Few people will do that. I have a 71 year old buddy that was drenched daily with Round up in Vietnam. He is now a sick, sick fellow and knows what's ahead and he's gone from the class cut up to a very bitter person. The VA has it down pat. Eventually your whole body goes to pot. He knows his future health.
Again, thank you for being my friend. Just hope folks are entertained with my true stories.

Hi ORH,
This subject just keeps coming up everywhere I look. Parasites and cancer. Now parasites and heart disease. I am beginning to wonder how much damage these can cause. Any way, I don't know if you read the recent posts on fenbendazole (aka panacur c, a dog dewormer)? It also came up on the LDN site, so I started to pay attention. Here is the link to one man's story and follow-up with others:
https://www.mycancerstory.rocks/single-post/2016/08/22/Shake-up-your-life-how-to-change-your-own-perspective
A doctor at Arthur Anderson told him they had done research on this drug in the 90's on cancer and parasites, and a drug had been created as a result that was pulled because there was no money in it. Interesting, for sure. I think you are on to something very significant here, not only for your heart but the cancer that shows up from time to time on your testing. Please keep us posted. You may be killing more than one bird with this stone! Since it is believed that all autoimmune diseases begin in the gut, I am going to try this, too, and see if I can finally shake off what ails me but seems elusive to remedy. Best of luck to you, as always.

GUESS I GOT WORMS,,,,,,,,,,,, HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN, Still seeking a solution for my heart problem. Allowed Wellness group to run a test and they found that I had heart parasites and a tape worm. We'll see. Taking their homeopathic drops this weekend and get retested Monday. Follower of Hulda Clark and she was the first to know that all critters have a wave frequency they put out. Dr Royal Rife also knew this and he developed a device to put out the same frequency and kill the buggers. The Med field ruined him before he ruined them. Few can challenge the heresy of the medical field , least they be ruined. My wellness group want to know my Rife Machine Model because they think I can use it for my problem. I have no clue and just telling one of my usual true stories. Still go to my cardiologist next Friday. I will go down any trail that gives me relief. Ole age is about as interesting as I can stand. It only seems like yesterday when I was playing on the HS Tennis team. Life is interesting. ====ORH====
