How To Stop Heart Palpitations

Introduction

After many years of research, I’m updating my report to include new and improved protocols for anyone wondering about how to stop heart palpitations.  For those reading this now that are suffering palpitationsI sure know how you feel!  There is nothing quite like suffering palpitations (except maybe dying)!  Palp sufferers get to experience dying-like symptoms often several times a day!  What this does to your body and your psychic is terrible.

If you are like I was, you might even reach a time when you are afraid to leave the house.  This nasty ailment can threaten your job!  You become afraid to exert yourself and you avoid robust activities.  Everyone around you suffers.

Well, I may have good news for you.  Most doctors will tell you that palpitations won’t kill you.  And they are mostly correct.  The worry might kill you, but the palpitations won’t.  You’d be surprised just how strong a human heart is.  I went into ER one time with a heart rate of 220 beats per minute.  I peed a quart of water every fifteen minutes because of the increased pressure on my kidneys.  It took them about three hours to bring my heart rate down.  Imagine running two full marathons and not being able to stop!

I want you to read this stuff with an open mind.  Whether you are trying to find out how to stop heart palpitations or just want someone to talk with about this issue, just contact me through the contact page and we’ll exchange email addresses.  I routinely chat with about 40 people around the world right now.

My blog style is probably very different than you might be used to.  I am very personable, and I take an interest in all those that contact me.  At the same time, I am will say some things that might go against every bit of training you’ve had.  In the end however, I’ve managed to stop my palpitations and keep them away now since 2007.

Why Doesn’t Your Doctor Doesn’t Know How To Stop Heart Palpitations?

After people find their own cure for palpitations, they always right back to me and ask this question.  ”Why the hell doesn’t my doctor know this stuff?”   I hate to burst your illusion, but traditional medicine today is not concerned about you getting well.  You may think they are, and they may go through some rudimentary “acting as though the are”, but in reality, it’s all about selling you some drugs.  Don’t believe me?  How many of you reading this have been told to go on “Beta Blockers” to fix your palps?

Follow the Money

Everything on the planet is about money.  Always Follow the money.  There is no money in healthy people.  The money is in the sick.  Big Pharma and the large multinational chemical companies are depending upon you sticking to the plan.  They’ve been training you since birth to stay on the plan.  Those who deviate from the plan are hammered.  The Japanese say, “the nail that sticks out, gets hammered in!”  I won’t waste a lot of time explaining this right now.  If you want to see more, go to my other blog Boomer News and read all about the politics of living.

So, What’s What Was The Cause of Your Palps?

Western diets are loaded with foods that promote excess acidity in our systems.  When we drink tap water – or even worse – Desani or Aquafina bottled water, we are getting water that is acidic (pH 5.5).  Your body, being the amazing machine it is, will always counteract the acid by taking minerals from your bones to “buffer” the acid.  Over the long haul, this will lead you to things like IBS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, arthritis, and many more diseases…including cancer!  Once again, this whole area is discussed in detail on Boomer News.

If you drink cola or soda (Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, 7-Up and others…) then you are drinking fluid that is pH 2.5.   The only thing you can do that is worse than this is drink battery acid or take pharmaceutical drugs.  One can of Coke will require you to drink 32 eight ounce glasses of high alkaline water just to neutralize the damage from that one Coke!

And … The Culprit Is?

Inflammation!  Excess acidity,  or chronic acidosis, triggers a state of dysbiosis in our bodies that leads to hormonal and endocrine imbalances that cascade out of control over time.  Inflammation is the bodies first response to trauma.  Even stress can cause acidosis that leads to inflammation.  So with stress and diet teaming up, we have a problem.  In all of us, the vagus nerve transverses the body from the base of the brain stem to the groin.  In many cases, the pericardium or “heart sac” becomes inflamed.  When this inflammation sets in, the heart sac and many other ancillary organ support mechanisms are affected. The vagus nerve and the phrenic nerve appear to be the most affected by the increased inflammation and pressure.  I believe they are at the root of the palp triggering mechanism.

I Fear Going To Bed At Night!

Some people will find that when they lay on their left sides when going to bed at night, they will get palpitations within about three to five minutes.  This is a sure sign that your vagus nerve is involved.  Others will bring on palps simply by bending over in the shower to pick up the soap! Another way to bring them on is to consume something really cold like a cold water or beer.

Doctors, unfortunately, are trained and conditioned to see your issue as symptoms to be masked.  They’ll offer a array of blockers.  I was given Rhythmol, my brother was offered Atenolol.  These drugs slow down the palps, but they sure do make you feel awful.  I could not see going through life feeling like that.  After a week on Rhythmol, I began to cut back on them and to look for alternative measures.  I really needed my own fix.  I had no idea it would take me 6 years to find the cure for myself, but bit by bit I pieced the “risk factors” for my palpitations.

Here’s My List of Risk Factors for Palpitations

  1. Mercury – from amalgam fillings or vaccines
  2. Flossing Teeth
  3. Toxic foods and drink
  4. Fish of all kinds – they contain too much mercury
  5. Fish Oils – all fish oils!
  6. Refined Sugar
  7. Fructose
  8. Aspartame
  9. Iodine deficiency
  10. Pop and soft drinks
  11. Bottled Water
  12. Sugary Juice
  13. Heavy animal fatty foods like prime rib

What I Did To Rid myself of Palpitations Forever

I joined dozens of “health blogs” and I chatted with people all over the world who suffered palpitations.  I databased their lifestyles, diets, physical types, their environment and their supplement intake.  I began studying several hours per day at the US National Library of Medicine and the Duke Phyto Nutritional Database.

My first breakthrough happened in 2004 when I was chatting with a fellow by the name of George on the Irish Health blog.  George had made some significant headway with ALOE GEL.  I went to the Duke database and discovered that many of the same ingredients that are in IMMODIUM are also in Aloe Gel.  DO NOT CONFUSE ALOE GEL WITH ALOE JUICE.  THEY ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT! Also I believe the aloe gel INNER FILET is best. The “Whole Leaf” works, but not as well as the “Inner Filet”.   8-)

I started experimenting with Aloe Gel and was blown away by the very rapid response.  Aloe gel is highly alkalizing.  It works in the stomach to alkalize an overly acidic environment.  The effect of aloe gel on inflammation was profound.  At first, I drank one ounce of aloe gel twice a day.  One ounce at breakfast and one ounce about an hour after dinner.  My palpitation attacks went from several a day to two a week!

Next I cut out all fish and fish oils and I stopped consuming all refined sugar.  No candy, no pop, no pastries and donuts.  And no aspartame ever!  (This is one of the most dangerous chemicals on the planet.)

After about two months, I was down to one palp per month.  I cut my aloe gel back to just one ounce per day.  Today, several years later, I take it maybe once per week.  The gel I used was Lilly of the Dessert Brand.  I believe it is available at all GNC stores plus most good health food stores. It is made in Texas, USA.  I highly recommend that you get some of this ASAP if you are suffering palps.  You might find relief on the first day like I did!

I almost forgot to mention that I had may amalgam fillings taken out too.  They give off mercury vapors all day long.  Your dentist might argue this, but if he does, he’s simply uneducated.  Send your dentist this YouTube Video.  How would you like your mouth to be spewing those vapours?

I also started to floss every day.  The bacteria that grow between the teeth are huge factors affecting your heart.  keep those teeth clean!  Side note:  Cutting down on sugar helps because those bacteria live off the sugar you eat.

Summary

For a quick start to end or slow down my palpitations so that I could live again… I got hold of ALOE GEL and drank an ounce of it twice per day.  I got immediate relief!   That gave me the comfort to continue studying.  Over the years, I narrowed down the other risk factors and the nutritional aspects that I have outlined.  I am not saying it will be  your answer too. I did get  emails from an NHL player and a fighter from UFC who both reported that they cured their palps within a week.  I’ve hear similar results from people in Egypt, South Africa, England, France, Canada, and Russia.

If you are suffering, I wish you the best of luck finding your fix.  If you want to talk about it, I have all the time in the world for you.  No one should ever have to go through this.

I continue to research and refine my wellness research.  If this field is something that interests you, then you should send me your email in the form at the top right and we can be in touch.  I’ll send you reports and research articles that you might be interested in.

 

H Pylori, NAC and Palpitations

**Breaking News**

It has been many long years since I first began researching heart palpitations. Back in 2002 when I first got palpitations, I thought I was dying.  You all know that feeling!  It was ‘that” feeling that sent you out looking for solutions.  

Over the past 6 months, since I expanded the reach of my studies and information to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media, I have been blessed with having made some very good personal connections.  As I dialog with people from all over the world, I can assure you that everything you say, and every opinion you utter, does not go unnoticed.  

Recently, two events altered the course of my research.  I met “Christine” from New York, and “John” from Texas as well as another “Christine” from France who really peeked my interest.  I suddenly become acutely aware of the connection between H Pylori and heart palpitations.  But the story is just not that simple.  It’s a story that I think could either reveal a cover-up by medical practitioners all over the world, or it’s a story of incredible incompetence by the medical community.

Long story short (if that’s possible!) – here are the essentials.

A person doesn’t feel well.  They sense an uneasiness in their upper body.  They feel dizzy and they begin to panic.  Their hearts race and they feel like passing out.  Maybe for the first time in their lives, they wonder if they are dying.  Eventually the feeling passes and they fee OK again.  

A few hours or days later this feeling comes back, only this time they have a sense that it is their heart that is acting up because they feel heavy beats and skipped beats and they feel a heart that is behaving like a back-firing car!  They are thinking, “Why is this happening to ME?”

On the verge of passing out, they go to the “emergency room” at the local hospital.  A month later, they have had all of the usual tests – Holter monitor, echo cardiogram, stress test and blood tests.  The doctor tells them that their heart is find and he prescribes medication for them.  If you are a doctor, you want the story to end here.  But sadly it continues.

You are now in the “Matrix” Neo.  You can take the “Red Pill” or the “Blue Pill”.  The red pill is a life long companionship with big pharma and a wide range of medications.  The blue pill is a journey in quest of a real solution to your problem. This is where you and I meet.  

While all of this is going on, I was researching.  I quickly focussed on the alkalinity aspect of the process that was causing my palpitations.  I had massive success with Aloe Gel and with GAS-X for relief of the gastric distress that was causing the palpitations.  It worked all all seemed fine.  

But along comes Christine from New York.  You couldn’t meet a nice lady than Christine.  But her symptoms where practically predatory!  Her symptoms fought far beyond the ability for our usual remedial alternatives.  That is when it hit me.  I’ve always said that things happen for a reason.  Christine from France emailed me during my New York discussions, and got me talking about H. Pylori.  

The curious geek that I am, I spent a few 18-hour days researching and reading everything I could about H. Pylori. In the process, I discovered a research paper that made a connection to stomach acidity and H. Pylori and some of the symptoms that I had databased in regard to palpitations. I then reorganized my database to include to possibility of H. Pylori as a cause for heart palpitations.

Then just a few days ago, my brother called me from his cell while enroute to the hospital.  He was having severe palpitations and he was scared to death.  I told him to force the doctors at the hospital to run an H. Pylori test when they took his blood samples.  The attending physician did not want to run the H. Pylori test, laughing it off as if some stupid patient would have any idea what’s going on.  Fortunately, my brother is very persuasive.  They ran the test.

When the doctor returned, he was a bit white faced.  He told my brother that he had a very steep infection of H. Pylori!  I knew it!  The doctor prescribed some medications, but stupidly didn’t consider the contra-indications to the atenolol that my brother was on, so the pharmacy refused to fill the prescription.  

Meanwhile, I had done enough research on H. Pylori to know that I needed to get my hands on N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) fast!  I found two bottles at my favorite health food store and took one to my brother.  The pills were 1000 mg.  My brother took one with breakfast and a half tablet with dinner.  I did the same.  

I am pleased to report that we both noticed a fantastic difference that very night! Here is the mechanism for its effectiveness.

H. Pylori likes a stomach with low acid.  So H. Pylori embeds in the stomach lining and begins to lower the stomach acid levels.  Eventually you find it difficult to digest your food properly.  At first you think you are allergic to some foods like wheat or peanuts or whatever.  But in reality, this is not the case.  You are merely rendered unable to fully digest things.  Eventually it gets so bad that you suffer massive indigestion that feels like heart palpitations!  The anxiety associated with this makes it even worse.

This is where to trot off to the doctor or hospital and eventually find your way to my website.  My own remedy included rapid alkalization of the stomach, which effectively overpowered the ill effects of H. Pylori.  But in Christine’s case (New York), it was not enough.  The infection was so bad that small efforts to alkalize were like throwing a thimble of water onto a bonfire!  What was really needed was exactly the opposite.  We needed increase the stomach acid levels.   

This is where NAC comes in.  I have tried it with three people so far and the effects are nothing short of miraculous!  I am attaching a link to the NAC report that I read to trigger this off.  

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2010/may2010_N-Acetyl-Cysteine_01.htm

Four days after starting NAC, I feel absolutely wonderful.  You’ll note from the article that they use this stuff for bipolar disorders and some mood disorders.  I noticed that it left me with a good feeling all day – as though I was 20 again.  Lots of energy and zero stomach issues.  There is no longer any bloating or digestive malady.  This may be the breakthrough that we’ve all been looking for.  

Nick.

  

 

 

H Pylori and Palpitations

Some of you are aware of the connection between palpitations and digestion.  Over the years, my testing is focussing in more and more on the digestive processes.  My own brother developed palpitations about 2 years ago, but he was not into listening to his little brother – until recently.  I made the connection to H Pylori about 6 months ago based on an email conversation I had with someone on this blog.  I think she was from Australia, though I might be wrong on that.

The bottom line is that H Pylori absolutely does have an effect on palpitations for some people.  Since more than half of the people on this planet have H Pylori, it is no wonder that doctors are not going to easily make this connection.  Treating H Pylori would mean a massive reduction in pharmaceutical sales over time.  That said, you and I don’t care about that.  We just want our palpitations to be gone!

I am writing this because a reader, Val, wrote to me and my response to here was rejected by the mail server.  So Val, if you are reading this, it’s for you.

Hi Val,

You intuition was right.  Most of this is caused by digestive issues.  Digestive issues can be cause by a range of things including shortage of minerals or enzymes and also by bacteria.  It I were you, I’d go to see the doctor one more time and ask for an H.Pylori test.  More than half of the world’s population has h.pylori.  This bacteria burrows into the lining of the stomach and causes all kinds of trouble with digestion.  For some of us, that shows a s “palpitations” related to upper GI tract malfunction.  Once your doctor finds the h.pylori, treating it is easy.  They will give you some antibiotics and it will be gone.  H.pylori is commonly passed from dogs and from dirty food.  If you have a dog, don’t let him lick your face!  And wash your hands after he licks them.  Also, if you have it, then anyone that you kiss or get intimate with will also have it.  

H.Pylori is linked to stomach cancer too, so it’s not something you want to mess with.  I’d go to the doc soon.

Stop Heart Palpitations Experiment

sunsetHi all!  I was getting so much mail on this topic it makes it hard to keep up.  Also, when you are the admin for the website, it is not easy to find the comments and respond to them.  Comments are attached to a particular post or article, so I have to wade through the articles to see what is posted and then make my reply.

I’ve been chatting through email with some great people from all over lately.  Several guys and gals from the USA and some really nice people from France, England, Australia and South Africa.  It’s a small world when people who share a common health issue can talk.  I created a Weebly page expressly for this issue.  Weebly has a “blog” feature that makes commenting quick and easy.  I’m going to run it for a while and see if there is any interest.  You can find it here: http://stopheartpalpitations.weebly.com  – Click on the “Blog” link

The one thing I know for sure is the horrible feeling of anxiety we get when palpitations are happening.  If you are alone and afraid, this can be a really bad spot to be in.  I want these people to know that the weebly link above is a place they can come to and they’ll always be welcomed.  I helps to discuss the issue with others.  I tried to do this in the Irish Health forum, but when you have an official forum, you have all these forum rules.  I never did like rules.  
Have a great weekend everyone if we don’t chat before then!

How To Stop Heart Palpitations For Good

Well, after a grueling week of scrambling to get my new book ready, I finally uploaded it last night.  I published on Amazon/Kindle for a couple of reasons that will be clear in a few seconds.  And I have to say that working with Amazon on this project has been a very pleasurable experience.  I can certainly see why Amazon and Kindle sell billions of dollars worth of merchandise every year.  They are the consummate professionals and have well earned the “most trusted retailer” moniker that they carry.

That said, the notoriety of “heart palpitations” has been on the rise for a few years.  I have enjoyed chatting with people all over the world about heart palpitation issues.

I’ve mentioned a few times, in my posts and comment replies, that the number of emails I get on the subject is steadily increasing.  So far, I’ve been able to manage answering all of the questions personally.  Also, I sent pieces of my regimen to anyone who asked for it.  However, the workload has grown to the point where it is beginning to render me less effective in pursuing other important research topics.  As a solution, I decided to make the information available at the cheapest possible price, so that I could not only free myself up to apply my research skills to other health issues, but also partially fund that research with sales revenue.  To that end, I created this book (How to Stop or Prevent Heart Palpitations) and made it available in digital format through Amazon Kindle.

Writing the book was the easy part however.  I can honestly say that I would never have been able to do it without the great and detailed work of my “proof-readers” – Don Fergusson (the human “Swiss Army Knife”) and Gail Walsh (Gail runs a Canine Musical Freestyle training site calledMy Dancing Dog“).  Thank you both! Over a five day period Gail and Don poured over my book and found all of my silly little errors.  I’d like to blame this damned Macbook Pro and its “auto spell check” feature that changes your words on the fly, but even that is wearing thin around these parts.

I am under contract to Amazon to “abide by their rules” in regard to handing the book out, so to the dozen or so that I talked about this with, we will have to continue our online chats and work toward you resolving your palpitations issues.  I will always make time for you. I will also be developing a Facebook Page to support this topic and will be promoting the book through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest and others.

As always, as new material and new research is available, I will continue to bring it to you – and present it in a way we can all understand.

Dr. Eric Topol – Wireless Medicine

I was conducting some routine research yesterday when I ran into the work of Dr. Eric Topol.  OMG – what a great idea!  He currently uses cell phones and specialized apps to deliver state of the art medical treatment.  However, I think he’ll likely take this a step or two further with by using either iPads or the Samsung Galaxy Tablets.

Eric J. Topol, M.D. is an American cardiologist, geneticist, and researcher. Much of Topol’s career was spent at the Cleveland Clinic, where he served as chairman of cardiovascular medicine and founded the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Topol was one of the first researchers to question the cardiovascular safety of rofecoxib (Vioxx), culminating in the drug’s ultimate withdrawal from the market.

Topol’s advocacy on the subject led to what the New York Times described as an “unusually public dispute” with the Cleveland Clinic’s leadership over ties between the academic institution and the pharmaceutical industry, ultimately leading to Topol’s departure from the Clinic after his academic position was abolished.

Topol currently serves as Director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute in La Jolla, California. He also serves as the Chief Academic Officer for Scripps Health, a Professor of Translational Genomics at The Scripps Research Institute, and was recently named The Gary and Mary West Chair of Innovative Medicine. In addition, he is a Co-Founder and serves on the Board of the West Wireless Health Institute as Vice-Chairman. He is also the Editor-in-chief of theheart.org.

Check out this NBC News report on Dr. Topol
