Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Yes indeed, those nasty spiros can infiltrate into heart muscle causing all sorts of complications ranging from mild to life-threatening.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hello is, I am interested in finding out more about your background and how you incorporate the QXCI into your practice. I am a licensed Social Worker who has been working with one practitioner in NJ, Schacter, as an introduction to the QXCI and it's many uses. I have taken great interest in the QXCI and am now doing my "due diligence" research to find out about the experiences (good/bad/indifferent) of other practioners like yourself. If you would be so kind as to share some of your thoughts and experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Hello Jean: I spoke yesterday afternoon with and she called Mederal for information about putting the drops in the ear. They said nothing stronger than 15X in the ear. So 10X, 5X is stronger and these potencies are in the vermi and fungi fuges. By mouth, then, is best. She said garlic helps, do you have any garlic oil that you could put in there? I am so sorry you are still feeling these guys. Just keep doing the homeopathics consistently and zaop the heck out of them also. Any question, please call me. Also, I am e-mailing because I accidentally tossed your phone number - please send it again.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks to all of you for your unanimous response. Allie had av repaired at 6mos and had check up at 1 year and 2 year. She is doing very well. Wih the recent change of my medical benefits we will have to seek a new cardiologist. At the last visit the cardioligist made no mention of another visit, but I am sure we will be finding a new one right away and making an appointment. Oh, on a side note you can tell when she gets hungry because she is very crabby and says no to everything, lol Thanks again for the response john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Question for you: have you yet posted any report on your MRSA usage? We really really really need it if you have not. This is vital. The mfr of the device might have an answer. It is DC current of less than one milliamp in our devices, be sure you tell them that. Up to you to find this out. Far as I know it's a no-no because the devices are electrically sensitive. But these devices have been improved a lot since they first came out. Find out from the mfr. I would not even take a doctor's OK on it, the mfr would be the ones...they are liable,etc. bG > > I have been on this list for some time, and have used the device for > MRSA....I should have used it for the problems I had last November.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Another thought: you will make it just fine, be healthier than people without the defibrilator, now that you know how to say godzilla. We will find a way around this. Thanks for hanging in there.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks for the advice, I will write them. As far as MRSA, we have been free of it for a year now. I used the godzilla on it when I had it and I am convinced it worked, lessened the time. If we get another outbreak, we will let you know. I hope to heavens we don't until I get this question answered as to whether or not I can use it.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Exactly, thanks. Glad it didn't come back. If it's still gone in another year, please also let us know that, too. That means you got it. MRSA is famous for coming back, so we need to know if you have managed to lose it for two years three, whatever. That is what medical research will want to know about. OK, you helped us, we can help you. You should ask them and have them write me any questions about it to help them answer you if they are confused. I can't answer for them, but may be able to shed light on the nature of the current being used and how it might/might not hurt the device. bG > > > > > > I have been on this list for some time, and have > > used the device for > > > MRSA....I should have used it for the problems I > > had last November.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi , I am 83 years old, still a part-time practicing Pharmacist with a PaceMaker for the past 4 years; I use Beck's Godzilla/zapper for many problems with NO problems as long as I Observe the Precaution: Do Not run the current through the body and heart or PaceMaker by putting one electrode on the right arm and the other on the left arm; rather, put 1 electrode on the problem and the other on the opposite side of the body; or 2 on ONE wrist. Be careful to read bG/s full observations as to electrode placement. I recommend you communicate with your Dr. in everything you ARE doing and NOT doing--If you meet with a deaf ear, you need another Dr. to whom you CAN communicate--also, if you continue with your present Dr., make sure YOU follow his/her instructions. Read my Site and let me know if I can help.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 , It is called arrhythmia. My heart also skips and so does my 13yr old granddaughter's. It is quite common, but you do need to ask your pc about it. I never noticed mine until I developed angina. The strangest thing to me is that I only notice it when I am idle and not when I am physically active. My cardiologist does not think that anything going on with my heart is related to my RA, but I still question it in the back of my mind. Try not to stress if you can. I know how scary anything with the heart is. Shirley > > I have been having issues where it feels like either my heart skips a > beat or is doubling up on a beat if that makes any sense.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I also have the same 'skip-a-beat'. I can hear the blood flowing through my head, I guess like tinnitus, so I can hear it happening most of the time. It likes to skip beat #4 regularly, and sometimes it recovers so hard that it hurts. I can also hear/feel my heart going into A-fib, which isn't usual. I'm taking meds that have regulated my heartbeat but I still hear it. You should mention it to your doctor for evaluation. It is somewhat normal, but it never hurts to have it checked out.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 and group; Hi katie. I don't know if your new or not. If so. welcome to the group. I am getting so forgetful lately. I seen some of the replys on this and it sounds ok. I get that to katie. You should make an appointment with your primary doctor and let him dicide what it is. Just to be on the safe side. I will do the same. gentle hugs Clora **************************************************************** > > I have been having issues where it feels like either my heart skips a > beat or is doubling up on a beat if that makes any sense.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi - that sounds like some pretty scary stuff you're experiencing. I wouldn't worry about what other people think - your health stuff is between you and your doctor(s) and IMHO, the others can either deal with it or shut up. Please don't delay getting this checked out. Your PC should be able to do an EKG in the office and depending on what shows, refer you on to a cardiologist if needed. The reality of this disease is that it could cause cardiovascular problems, so it should not be ignored. Let us know how you make out with the doctor. We care......Doreen > > I have been having issues where it feels like either my heart skips > a beat or is doubling up on a beat if that makes any sense.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi , I get PVCs which are aggravated by stress and caffeine. Your regular family doc can tell if this what you have. I did a holter monitor an EKG and ECG to make sure that's what it was, but it all boiled down to drink less caffeine, get more sleep, and manage stress. It can't hurt to mention it to your doc and if it won't go away they can always prescribe a beta blocker or even do an ablation but 99% of the time you just need more R & R. ________________________________ From: ktandtm <ktandtm@...> Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2008 10:26:46 AM Subject: [ ] Heart question I have been having issues where it feels like either my heart skips a beat or is doubling up on a beat if that makes any sense.
