Atrial Fibrolation (sp.?:)

[Guest guest]

Hi Erinn,

 

This may not be the type of advice you seek ... but it comes from the heart.

Make peace with yourself over what is happening, focus on bringing yourself

to a place of acceptance.

 

You cannot give what another will not receive. So enjoy the time you have

together, share those things you enjoy most, and allow him the freedom to

chart his own course.

 

Take the best care of yourself that you can ... for your sake, for his, of

course for that of everyone whose life you touch.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Atrial Fibrolation (sp.?

 

Hello all again,

I just found out my father has atrial fibrolation in his heart. 2 of the

valves aren't pumping blood through properly and the blood can collect and

clot because of it. He is in a higher danger of having a stroke now too. The

Doctors put him on something called Premadin ( I think? It thins the blood

to prevent clotting) And told him he has to stop eating leafy veggies

(including broccoli) altogether!!! Because vitamin K has clotting agents.

Dear God! He is a meat eater - eats meat 1-2 times a day sometimes, but is

as healthy as a meateater can be. Hikes or runs every day, nothing fried and

lots of big salads. I will never be able to convince him to go vegetarian,

and he won't give up his 2 glasses of red wine a day either. Can anyone

please offer any helpful information of any kind? They may put him on blood

thinning medication for the rest of his life, and are going to shock his

heart back into pumping in a few weeks. He also has sleep apnia.

I would sincerely appriciate any help at all!

Thank you so much!

Erinn

I hadn't thought about the acidic effects of (toxic) chlorine on

calcium. I realized many years ago that chlorine brought on

bronchitis symptoms, so I avoid it, including a de-chlorinating

shower filter. People should realize chlorine doesn't need drinking

to get into the body. The vapors are inhaled and the skin absorbs it.

I highly recommend that people with chlorine in their water invest in

a de-chlorinating shower filter or, better yet, a filter for the

entire house.

 

I use this shower filter: www.gaiam.com/retail/product/01-0406 though

they have many other shower filters. We have a basic filter on the

main water pipe coming into the house. I believe the company making

the system has an optional de-chlorinating filter cartridge.
