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 palpitations, I 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
- Mercury – from amalgam fillings or vaccines
- Flossing Teeth
- Toxic foods and drink
- Fish of all kinds – they contain too much mercury
- Fish Oils – all fish oils!
- Refined Sugar
- Fructose
- Aspartame
- Iodine deficiency
- Pop and soft drinks
- Bottled Water
- Sugary Juice
- 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”. 
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.
Hello, I spoke to you through email about a year ago and had saved all of our conversations so that I could get started on trying to fix my heart issues. My computer ended up crashing and then I just forgot about it and never followed through with it. I got used to my heart palpitations and dealing with them on a daily basis. Lately I have been going to the hospital a lot for these issues again and my cardiologist is talking about having a procedure done in which they will burn a part of my heart. I have already refused to take anymore medications (because they only ever made me feel so much worse) and I really do not want to have this procedure done until I know I have tried everything. My boyfriend has been having palpitation issues as well and I think he could benefit from this too. Please help me get started. I want to know everything you did and what vitamins and minerals and any other supplements you would suggest I buy and take on a daily basis as well as how to take this aloe gel and any other information you have that will help me.
Thank you,
Victoria
Hi Victoria,
I sent you a long letter by private email. I’m pretty sure you can beat this thing. Keep in touch!
Nick.
Hey just wanted to let u know my case for some research. Let met just add that some of these people palpitations may be because of some inflammation in the heart that it is so mild yet it goes undetected and therefore all the tests are fine even blood tests MRI, EKG,CT SCAN,ECHO,HOLTERS,etc.
I can testify this because I’ve had palpitations off and on after having pericarditis (which was never diagnosed) after it went away I was left with palpitations(inflammation still going) etc. But again all tests show normal pericardium. However the first time I took aspirin my palpitations were gone for a week, then it stopped working my body found away to become “inflamed” again and resistant to aspirin. Then took ibuprofen 3200mg for 2 weeks, palpitations gone for a month, then I had to taper off the ibuprofen cuz of stomach problems. I experimented with my body a lot.
So yeah I believe in a subset of these people the cause maybe inflammation directly on the heart but it is so mild that it goes undetected however a few cardiac cells being affected its all thats needed.
Please send me an email if you find more info on this. I’d really hate to be on aspirin for life but its the only thing that keeps them at bay.
I STRESS ECHO, ECHO,5EKGS, CHEST CT SCAN with contrast and found NOTHING but there’s still inflammation because the ibuprofen and aspirin make them go away.
This guy had the same thing:
http://www.pacemakerclub.com/public/jpage/1/p/story/a/storypage/sid/13523/content.do
Please let me know how to combat inflammation from all sides. Send me what you know to my email.
Thanks Take care !
What you say is very true. Inflammation is definitely a trigger. However, taking aspirin and ibuprofen is a measure to suppress the symptoms rather than to cure the problem. My preference is to cure the problem. Taking aspirin and ibuprofen will 100% lead to serious stomach trouble down the road. I would never do that to my body. I prefer to take natural foods that prevent inflammation. Whenever I stay on this tact, I always stay free of palpitations.
Hi, Glad i found this site. I’m from Philippines, 31. sorry for my English I’m not good. I have heart palps since January 2012. I’ve been tru a lot of test like ECG, Chest Ultra Sound, 24hr. Holter & Thread mill test. Before that I woke up in the middle of the night having this strange feeling of my heart having a skip beating so hard really wake me up. I just ignore it. For a week I am having a palpitations, one morning i feel like it’s worst so I ask my husband to visit a doctor. On that same day, i feel nervous that my blood pressure rise. we rush into the hospital. ECG was my 1st test. My 1st Cardio told me I have a recent mild heart attack according to the ECG result which i have no idea when it happens. But i went to my 2nd cardio for another opinion he just told me I never had a Mild heart attack. i went to Chest Ultra sound test (Normal). Then 24hr Holter (there’s a point that my heart skip a beat for 5secs but is no need to worries he said).
But i guess I got this heart palpitation and the side effect appears a few a months later. Last August 2011 I ordered online a Slimming Coffee called Leissure18. in desperate to lose weight. I immediately used 2sachets. Immediately minutes later I’m having palpitation, sweating, thirst, having a hard time sleeping, headache, hands shaking. I ignore all of that because all that symptoms is just normal side effects according to other users, even in details wrote by the seller. For 6 days I live my life like a drug addict (Maybe it’s how they feel). But on the 6th day I can no longer take it, my back neck is so heavy, palpitations is very fast. I do some research on google, I find out I am having a high blood pressure. Then I started to panic, I immediately check my BP, it’s 160/100. Then they rush me to the hospital. For 1week my BP is not normal. “I FEEL LIKE I’M DYING”…. In & out of the ER. Bed ridden, can’t even stand for a long period of time or to walk to the CR. After that I incident developed hypertension, since then hypertension never leaves me every week/month.
But just this year No records of hypertension & palpitations. We have a history or high blood & heart disease. But I doubt that i have heart problem. I feel it’s more like an Anxiety attack. Now, I do a lot of exercise & no more caffeines like chocolates-coffee, sodas etc. What else can cause palpitations? I’m still on meds Vestar for my heart.I hope to get a regimen from you, It would help me a lot to recover. Many Many thanks!

Hi Melanie,
I am glad you found us. I see that you signed in through the form on the side panel. The system will automatically send you my report. Your biggest battle may be with your mind. The mind is so powerful and when you get palpitations, it nearly always triggers a panic attack. There are just so many people who are in this exact same position. I will chat with you all you want here or by email. I will send you a personal email so that you have my connect. You are not alone. And I will help you in any way I can.
Nick.
Hi Nick thanks for your quick response. Got your email and your PalpsReport.pdf I’m starting to read it. My last worse Palps attack was last December 2012 before xmas. My heart rate was so high even my blood pressure. I take Valium my Cardio prescribed me but that’s the 1st & my last since he prescribed it. Sometimes I’m having chest pain almost in the left side of the chest. Sometimes I feel pain on my left armpit and back. Sometimes I do some research on signs & symptoms regarding heart problems. Now I’m confuse if all this pain I feel is also connected to My heart Palps or really do have heart problem but my doctor don’t want to tell me thinking I might get depress.
I really hate the feeling when the Palps attack. I feel like my whole body was beating. When this happen my BP is also affected. Even at night I’m afraid to sleep at I’m having a hard time to sleep. But God is good when 2013 enter I feel so good. except for having a low bad cholesterol but I guess it’s gone now with all the exercise I’m doing now. Just need my blood test done by May. Really really thanks for your time. I hope I could fine Aloe Gel here Philippines.
HI
Last year while driving to work I had heavy palpitations accompanied by panic attack felt like i was dieing. I was diagnosed with Gastritis (inflammation and irritation of the stomach) I was put on prilosec for 6 weeks then nexium for 9 weeks with no results. First it statreted with skip beats and now I have full palpitations lasting from 30 to 55 min. some times more twice a day. My cardiologist did EKG, STRESS TEST, HOLTER, US OF HEART and even sleep study. Everything is normal. I do get mild heart burn I have used manuka honey, DGL licorice, and mastic gum. Nothing seems to work. It has gotten really bad in the last week the only thing that comes it down is Camomile tea. Did try alo vera for a while from Whole foods and probotics but not with much results. Please help don`t know what to do
Melanie,
Anxiety is a powerful thing. If your doctors say you did not have a heart attack, then it could be that anxiety causes you to have tense muscles in your chest. You could be experiencing muscle fatigue and pain from that. If you can find Extra Strength GAS-X gel caps in philippines, you should get some. If you take one and find that the palps go away. Then you will know that the issue is all about your digestion. You will need to change your diet!
I’ve been having heart palps and “flutters” for sometime. I have been very stressed lately- due to the passing of my mother. I’ve had these flutters for quite some time, but it seems to not have gotten worse, but I think about it more often. I’VE BEEN to the doctor a total of 6 times in 3 months- and all with 2 ekg’s and great bloodwork. Any ideas to help get back to a “normal” life? BTW- the doctor reassured me that I am fine and I don’t have ANYTHING wrong with me. Any ways to help? Are these “flutters”normal?
Hi Mike,
I responded by email to you and attached a copy of my regimen. You are just like the rest of us here. You will beat this thing if you want to, but it will require some small changes to what you do with your diet.
Nick.
Hi..i am 20 year old. I first experienced palpitation as a kid when I had to stand for a long time for some reason. Last year, I started working out with my boxing coach and I started having palpitations again. this time palpitations were long. When it starts I feel fast heart beats, my listening power starts diminishing followed by dizziness and blurred view. Its hard for me to even sit when palpitations start. I keep sweating hard during all of this. It stays for like 10-15 minutes then I start getting better again. Also at night I feel my heart beats all over my body. I had consulted an heart specialist, he could not tell me whats wrong with me. he had took some tests like ECG and ECHO, ECG was almost fine and ECHO was good. I visited my doctor for a few times then I stopped visiting him. I still go for boxing training, but the palpitations happen relatively lesser than before. But when it starts happening, I simply drink water, take deep breaths and sit down for a minute or two and then I am fine again
This is a classic case of the early stages of inflammation caused by erroneous gut bacteria and digestive dysfunction. Drinking the water helps to alkalize your stomach. This is why the palpitations stop. The water must be fairly alkaline – ie… above pH 7.0. If water stops it, then you are in the very early stages. You might try having less cheap carbohydrates before workouts. Have some MCT oil instead. MCT oil is the only oil that the body treats like a carbohydrate. You’ll have way more energy than carbs can give you and it won’t cause digestive stress that leads to heart palpitations.
Glad I found this site, somewhat comforting I’m not the only one getting strange heart skips. Mine started about 3 weeks for no reason, last days at a time all day.
I just took my first dose of aloe vera gel, I got whole leaf by accident and not inner fillet. We’ll see how it goes.
@Max – Could you update your original article to make it clear that we should be trying the Aloe vera gel – fillet extract and not whole leaf?
Thanks!
Hi Mark,
That is a good idea. I’ll edit the original article right away. I don’t know why, but people just seem to get hung up on this item. It’s been that way for years. Mostly its over the “gel” or “Juice”.
Nick (Max)
can you please send me your regimine?????
Hi Chantel,
I sent it via email to you! Great to meet people from my homeland!
I have had the palpitations for two weeks and already feel like giving up. Please help me.
I just sent you the regimen by email.
Nick.
Hello,
I’ve been suffering from pacs/pvcs for about a year now. I had them before that, but not nearly as bad asi get them now. I was always able to ignore them because I would get 1-2 a month if even that. I got pregnant with my second child in April of last year and had him 12-5-12. My whole pregnancy was miserable! By the time I was 7 weeks pregnant, I started to experience my heart racing and shortness of breath and within a month the palpitations got more frequent but not every day all day. I had a bad episode late June and again in September. By October, I was getting them at least 3-5 times a week. And after I had my son, I’ve gotten them every day all day. I have panic disorder and anxiety, but the funny thing is that I don’t even have panic attacks or at least I don’t feel like do. In April 2011, I wore a holter monitor for 2 days and had an echocardiogram and they found nothing so I wasn’t worried. But when they started last year, I made my dr look into it again. I have had about 10 ekgs since June, tons of blood work, wore the holter monitor in October (they saw nothing) and again in feb 2013 and I was told I had 5 pacs and 10 pvcs but not to worry. My cardiologist put me on a beta blocker that hasn’t helped at all! I have two kids to take care of and I’m so worried about myself, that I can’t focus on them. I haven’t been able to work out because it makes it worse, I’m scared to leave my house because I get them everywhere, and I don’t like bending over because I get them or get the sensation in my chest like I might. I’m so scared that the rest of my life is going to include dealing with these things! Any advice will help. Thanks!
Hi Jill,
Fear not! You are in the same situation as many of us here and the fix is not that difficult. I have an email open to send you shortly. I’ll just type my info and attach my regimen for you. Then we can talk more. Stay in touch! You can beat this thing.

Hi…I just started experiencing heart palpitations a few weeks ago & although ive only had a few i know i do not want to live like this forever. I went to a cardiologist & he said my heart just runs to fast so he put me on Atenolol for the next 3 months. I will have to have a monitor on for 24 hours at the end of the 3 months to see if i can come off the meds. I dont want to take meds for the rest of my life so I know I need to do something to fix what is wrong inside me. Everything happens for a reason they say I need to find that reason so I can fix it. I have started adding lemon to my drinking water in a hope that will help. I hate feeling like I am waiting for it to happen again. Any help or information you can give me would be great. Thank you I am glad I came across this site.
Hi Tanya,
Welcome to the group! I am so glad you found us. Here is what is most likely going to happen. Your doctor will put the holter monitor on you to wear for 48 hours or more. You may be asked to run a stress test (treadmill) and you may be given an echo cardiogram. They will be ruling out any physical issues with your heart. At the end of the month of testing, including blood tests, you’ll be told that you are fine. You’ll be told that your heart is good and that you are just stressed. They will tell you to cut down on coffee and alcohol.
I’m surprised that you doctor reached for drugs so quickly. They normally don’t do that. Atenolol is among the most common, but you are likely to feel “subdued”. You will feel lethargic and “held back”.
If this turns out to be your story, then that’s good news because you can fix it. But there is no magic pill. You are going to have to put some time in and read what others here have said and read the articles. I’m going to start by sending you my short pdf report on how I cured my palpitations. Digest that and then lets talk some more. You can access the report here:
Palpitation Report
Hi Max,
I have read your pdf report a couple of times now. I have just managed to find some Aloe gel online that I can buy finally so I will try that. Hopefully it is the same as what you talk about. It is from Forever Living Products. I go back to the cardiologist next month for the holter monitor. They already did the stress test & I dont think I even lasted 5 minutes before I was really short of breath. After he did that was when he told me my heart runs to fast & put me on the meds. I think the reson he gave me the meds straight away was because the 2nd night I was in the ER my heart rate went upto 162 beats per minute for about 30 minutes & wouldnt come down so they gave me meds then & also took an EKG reading which the cardiologist got the results as well. They did all my bloods at the hospital & everything come back as normal. I am trying to change my habits I have stopped drinking soft drink, have been adding lemon to my water as I cant find any ph drops either. I have bought Kale a few times which tastes quite nice but my little kids dont like it so I blended it up into their pasta sauce to get it into them. They ate it like that so I will do the more often for their own benifit as well. I need to change their habits as well not just my own. I did get told to cut down on coffee, chocolate & no alcohol. The no alcohol has not really bothered me but the coffee & choclate I am missing mainly the coffee. I hate taking the Atenolol it does make me feel subdued & I don’t really feel like doing much at all. Which I know I should especially exercise but I am afraid I will get papls. I had 1 the other night for the 1st time in 6 weeks & I have been feeling so strange since. Which is how I felt when it first started happening. Now I just need to see what else on your list that I can get in Australia. I am tired of feeling like this. It is really doing my head in. I think I will invest in some meditations tapes as well & start that. Look forward to hearing from soon
I just ordered Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gel heres the link is this the right one?! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00028POGA/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Yes! Bang on! That is the stuff. I mix mine with orange juice. Not the best tasting stuff, but very good for you. Try one ounce 45 minutes after meals and one before bedtime.
After a while, you won’t need it anymore, though, I keep a bottle in my fridge “just in case!”
Nick.
Hi Max, could I get your info you been sending to everyone about the palps please? thanks in advance, I think its awesome how helpful you have been to alot of people!!!
Hi Keith,
I just sent it to you through your email addy.

Joy,
Did you get the “regimen” that I sent by email? If not, it may have gone to your junk mail. If that is the case, write to me again at info@stopheartpalpitations.com and I’ll send it again. I may put up an Auto Responder service on the side bar to automatically send out the regiment when people leave their email addresses. I’ll try to get that done this week.
Hello again!, I just received my lily of the desert Aloe Vera Gel Today, I tried it with no orange Juice
and should of mixed it with orange juice because it taste really weird!. I shall take one after my meal and another one before bed!. Thank you!.
Thank you I just read I will try it!, one last question I been having heart pounding on my chest everythime its quiet i can feel it and its not even going fast my its around 69 my heart rate. I am very fit guy who loves to run Track and Field but this occurs when im not exercising.
I suspect this is the anxiety effect. We all have the “fight or flight” response built in. Now that you are consciously aware of your palpitations, you brain is always monitoring the status. At the same time, your inner fears about heart issues cause you to “downshift” ready for “flight”. Have you ever experience that moment just before all hell breaks loose? Like when a sudden and definite reaction is required? You heart does the same thing then, your right ventricle fills with blood – one big tank full – then WHAM off you go and the old pump just keeps thumping to keep you going. Well, you are getting the big thump, but no where to go! Once you learn to get angry at them instead of afraid of them, you have it beat. It’s a big head game with this stuff no. How does one “out-think” his genetic programming? Tough to do!
Hi Esau,
In my area, firefighters, police and corrections Officers often use “Relora” to combat the effects of stress and the resulting elevated cortisol levels. Here is an article on the stuff. It may be exactly what you are looking for.
http://www.nextpharmaceuticals.com/stage/pdfs/Relora_TH2008.pdf
Relora normalizes cortisol levels and thereby relieves the effects of stress. I use it as a diet supplement because it also reduces my appetite. It’s often sold as a diet aid as well. Really, it is just the stress related eating that it is preventing. But checkout that link. I think you will find it interesting.

Hi, i just developed panic disorder I am so frustrated now everyday at night i cant sleep i can feel my heart beat through my neck and head, i have palpations too…. I went from sleeping in the clouds to waking up all sleepy and going to college. I dont want to go too cardioligist too much money i have an excellent blood pressure and heart rate.
Hi Max,
I just want to say how grateful i am to have come across this sight. Last saturday night i was searching the interenet in desperation after being in the emergency room twice and to the doctor thinking i was having a heart attack or some sort of heart valve issue etc. After reading this blog I immediately ran to wegmans and bought Lily aloe gel. I had two palps the next day and the next day til present NOT ONE palp. THANK YOU JESUS !!! GOD BLESS YOU>
Hi Alison,
I just responded to your personal email as well. It is so good to hear from you. I sent you a copy of my regimen in that email. It is for people like you that I do this. I feel so happy when I can help even one of you. From the sounds of it, you have caught the issue in the very early stages and you’ll have next to zero trouble adjusting you diet to make sure you stay healthy! As I mentioned in the email, I will be publishing a book on this through Amazon in the next few weeks. I just get so many emails on this, that I have to address it on a larger scale. There are 140,000 searches a month on Google from people looking to address this health issue. That is just too many people to keep on suffering needlessly.
Max (Nick Walsh)
Hi Max,
I’m in the UK also, and so glad to have found your website. I was seriously considering phoning the local hospital to see if I was about to have a heart attack – missing a beat every few seconds since yesterday, and missing every few minutes for the previous few days.
But your information makes SO much sense. Especially as I seem unable to properly digest most grains. I found the Specific Carbo Diet years ago and do well on that but it’s very prohibitive. Could you also send me your regimen? I am definitely going to look for the Aloe Vera Gel, include Astaxanthin, and stop the Fish Oil I’d begun a few weeks back! There is so much helpful info on your blogs. Wonderful! Thanks so much -
Hi Wendy,
I’m so glad you like it. We are a tight group of palps people. Sometimes I don’t know what’s worse.. the palps or the anxiety that follows. We are winning at this though. I hear from contacts all over the world. What we are doing is working, so no matter what any of the thugs in medical industry say, we are being effective!
Hi, I have been experiencing palps since about September last year. They began with an ocasional flutter in my chest now and again. I get them most days now and seveal times a day.
My heart simlply misses a beat and then fluters but my pulse does not seem fast. It is very disturbing. I have been to my doctors several times and he has now decided to refer me to the hospital.
I have had an ECG but the palps did not happen at that time. I have been taking fish oil supplements and vitamins since about the time they began and did ask my GP if there could be a link but he said no.
Where can I get the Aloe Gel in the UK, if not I could ship it from the US.
Many thanks indeed. Steve.
Hi Steve,
I get quite a few emails from people in the UK. Sadly your doctor is out of touch with this issue. There most definitely is a link between fish oil and palps. It won’t affect everyone, but fish is simply not safe to eat today. Doctor David Duncan did a huge study several years ago now. He went out onto the North Sea with his equipment. He was on a fishing boat. His goal was to determine the mercury levels in North Atlantic fish. He found that after eating just one meal of fish, his blood mercury levels rose by nearly 800%. I issued a warning back in 2009 about this. Krill oil is the only safe bet. Also, you can take astaxanthin. Flax oil will also give you some omega 3′s.
I have heard some UK clients were able to find Aloe Gel Capsules. You could have one shipped from the US, but that would be expensive and the post might not accept it since it is a liquid.
But aloe gel is just one piece of the puzzle. You are experiencing these palps now because you have created the environment where they can exist. To not have them, you must create the environment where they cannot exist. It will take will power to reverse your eating habits. But if you really want to be well, you can do it. I’ll send you my regimen by email after I post this message.
Nick.
I’ve been having palpations and Axinety I feel like I’m dying at times I need some help, hopefully I can get some help on here
Drop you name and email into the sidebar form and you’ll receive my regimen by email. If you have seen your doctor and if your doctor has told you that your heart is fine, then spend some time reading the material here. You will learn enough to cure yourself, provided you are sufficiently motivated.
Change is always tough, but not as tough when you have this thing hanging over you all the time. The thing is.. once you regain control, then you an cheat a bit and have the food that you like once in a while. Because then you will know how to undo the damage the next day. It’s like having a cure for the hangover.
Ill see what I can do to change what it eat.it won’t be easy but ill try it. Thanks for the major info you given me over the week.
Lol… I see the problem. Given that you are deficient by several grams in minerals in your bones – caused by the abuse of soda drinking…. you then pour gas onto the fire with that food! Have you looked at the chemicals in Italian dressing? You are consuming some major acidic toxins with that. Your dressing should be cold pressed olive oil or grape seed oil, or MCT oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Fried chicken? Your chick should be baked chicken and have no skin. Once you pass 120 degrees, you effectively turn the fat that the chicken was fried in into toxic acid. Fried anything is out. If it was wild brown rice, you are ok. If it was fried white rice… then you are eating genetically modified trash. And Fish…. there is no safe wild fish on the market today. Fish is loaded with mercury. And speaking of mercury, if you have amalgam fillings, then you are being slowly poisoned by mercury vapours every minute of every day! Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylnQ-T7oiA
So James, that dinner did nothing to help you. In increased your internal acidity.
What should be on the menu?
Steamed broccoli or kale. You should eat a fresh kale salad three times a week. A handful of raw almonds three times a week. Wild brown rice that has to be cooked! No minute rice. If you have canolo oil, throw it out. Canola oil is the main ingredient in many pesticides. It was developed as a pesticide and later adopted for cooking because of the price. Most fried foods are done in Canola.
Raw pumpkin seeds. Bananas, apples, pineapple, coconut, coconut oil (one teaspoon a day), asparagus.
NO US Grown Corn. It’s all genetically modified and a danger to consume.
No processed foods.
Baked yams… and butter.. real butter.
goat’s milk
Pick up a book on the Paleo diet. That is the perfect diet today.
I ate some salad with Italian dressing at dinner. And at lunch I ate fried rice with fish and some Bourbon chicken. And that’s it.
James,
You did say the doctor clear you right? If GAS-X didn’t help out at all, then you have other issues at play here. It’s likely anxiety as your doctors pointed out. To beat anxiety, you need to get through the “Scared” stage and on to the “Pissed off” stage. When you are mad at it, you prevent certain hormones from being release that cause you to feel this way.
Sometimes this is easier said than done. Most of us here have been through this. You have to make yourself understand that this thing is NOT going to hurt your heart! Hell, at 54 my raced at 220 beats for nearly three hours one day in ER. If you don’t have heart disease, the heart is an unbelievable muscle.
Your soda drinking, has really caught up to you. Drinking all that soda will have caused your body to donate a ton of minerals from your bones in order to buffer the acidity. If you took a bone density test, you’d likely find your bones are weak as well.
You might want to see a nutritionist or naturopath and get yourself on a good alkaline diet. The other thing too is this. If you suddenly alkalize too fast, this is called detoxing. You might be experiencing a sudden detox from all the acid you had. Talk to your naturopath about detox. Don’t over do the gel. One ounce twice a day. And after a week, I cut mine back to one ounce three times a week.
Your blood numbers would be very interesting to see. I’ll be you are fairly acidic. You can’t stay in that state. It’s not a choice you can make.
I realize you don’t have the same kind of health care we have hear in Canada, but you should see your doctor about this. You need blood work to check your mineral levels, triglycerides and blood sugar. They should also do an echo cardioram to look for valve issues.
What did you eat yesterday and today?
Hey Max its James Dudnelly Jr again I was able to find the gas-x and the gel at the local natural foods store. And took the posted regiment of aloe gel for the first day. And then tried to relax. Unfortunately it deosnt seem to be reducing and I fell really weak now. I really don’t feel right. What do you think i should do? I almost feel sick.
I loved the read it makes me feel better to know that I’m not alone.
I’m currently 21yrs old and recently started haveing heart palpitation’s I thought I was dying so I ended up going to the ER and they basically told me I have heart palps and that they would eventually stop, unfortunately they have not stopped and its ruinning my life. As I write I have a fast heart rate and the fimiliar feeling of a jumpy heart. I’ve never tried the aloe gel and I’m looking forward to trying it. I’m looking for any feedback i can get. My email is sierragc@sbcglobal.net I really want to get through this.
Hi James,
I sent you my regimen though email. If you don’t have it by now check your junk mail. If you still don’t have it, I’ll send again.
Nick.
I am 47 year old just for information and all my life i have no Medica issues i am in Canada doing Odd jobs. well educated Masters in Pol Sic,,, and Police Foundation Grad…but still feel looser….
I Asim,
I just replied by email to you.
Nick.
OMG Amazing site …Hi MAX …. how can i explained this. I am scared to death with this skipped and racing heart beats… i have three children and these stupid skip beats and heart racing makes me nervous like i am goanna die some where no one is goanna notice, and i am leaving my kid on the mercy of this world… bal bal bal i have been in ER over 10-15 times in last 12-13 years but like other people says all results are clear and normal….some Doc suggest beta blocker or proploane is the solution. I have done stress test, Nuclear Stress test , ECG , ECO, EKG bla bla bla… still i don’t know what is wrong with my heart that condition makes me feel like shit I quit smoking , ….please help me and advise me or email me please please please….
Regards
Asim
yes… You are in good company. Most of us here have the same issue. I beat it and so will you. Over the past few years I’ve heard from dozens around the world who have also beat the issue without using medications. You will prevail if you have the will.
Nick.
Hey max i got palps about a month ago from taking pre-workouts for 2 years strait with no break up to 1500 mgs a day plus tea and pepsi!! i started taking lily of the dessert 2 days ago but havent seen alot of progress yet what else can i do? what do you think?
Also can you send me your regimen? thanks
Hi Robert,
Yes .. absolutely.. Check your email.
Nick
Lily of the Desert is the brand. Hopefully it was ALOE GEL and NOT juice. You’d be astounded at how many people get the two mixed up. Gel is the one. Also, get some Extra Strength GAS-X Gel caps. They contain simethicone. That will rapidly alkalize your stomach. My bet is your palps stop in 15 minutest. I hesitate to give this secret out usually because I don’t want people to rely on GAS-X. That is only a temporary measure. Not good in the long run. YOu need to address your acidic diet. Move toward alkalinity.
Ive been having a racing heart rate after eating. At first it was after eating carbs but now its after eating just about anything. Will the aloe vera gel help with this too?
Hi Vicki,
Its a bit more complicated than that. I’ve sent you my regimen by email. Read it, and you’ll know what to do. Sometimes people who get palps see their doctors and are subsequently left with the illusion that taking drugs will fix it. Nothing could be further from the truth. Taking Propaphenone or Atenolol will mere mask or suppress the symptoms for a period of time. The reason you suffer palps (assuming your doctor has ruled out any physical defect in the nervous system or heart valves) is that you have created an environment in your body where internal inflammation runs rampant. This condition will often manifest as arthritis or IBS for the lucky. For others, an elevated inflammation rate – and correspondingly raised CRP scores – will lead to cancer at some point. As a “sensitive” you are getting the early warning signs long before others do. Ultimately, you will have a choice to make. You’ll need to change what you eat and drink and remove the environment that allows this condition to exist… or you won’t. Just like the Matrix…. Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?
Nick (Max)
Hi – Great site. I’ve been having palpitations for over a year, they seem to be getting worse. I’ve seen a Naturopath who did a work up on me. My PH readings were a little off, but not real bad. I’ve had episodes where I’ve woken from a sound sleep with my heart racing and what feels like body zaps. I bought aloe vera gel capsules today, GNC brand. I’ve taken two and will get the other supplements from Swansons. Anxiety is also a problem. Could you please send me your regimen?
Thank you for your help.
Hi Karen,
I did the same for you. I sent the pdf file by email. You can beat this if you choose to.
Nick (Max)
I just came across your site…I have been suffering for 2 weeks irregular heart beats. I have them about 10 to 15 per minute. I have not been to the dr.s yet but am thinking about trying your regimen. Could you please send it to me. Thank you
Hi Corrine,
I sent it by email. Let me know if you didn’t get it.
Nick.
Max. Please help me. Feel like i am dying. Too sick to explain. Would you please sent me your report as quickly as possbile. I will try and locate the Aloe gel.
I have lost 60 pounds. Down to 101. It feels like I am doing a marathon 24 hours per day. The nausea is also extremely bad 24/7
Thank you.
Brenda
Hi Brenda,
I’ve just sent you the regimen to your email address. I am sure with you here. I do know how this feels. When you are more able to write, reply to the email I sent.
Nick (Max)
It is such a relief to find this web site. I have been reading and studying for months to get some relief from my Palpatations. I have been to the ER numerous times over this. U name the test I have had it done and everything comes back normal. “Ur fine” they keep saying. I have always had trouble with anxiety, but it didn’t get bad till after my daughter was born. It was all down hill from there. I have concurred every other aspect of anxiety that I have come acrossed, but I just can’t shake these palps. They drive me crazy and nothing I do stops them. It sucks liveing everyday like this. I’m going to try everything listed above and I just want to thank u so much for offering advice to help others.
Hi Cara,
I’m so glad you found us and took the time to write. I think your search is over. What you describe is exactly like what most of us have suffered from. It took me seven years to figure out the answers, but since I have been sharing my solutions with people, I’ve heard from men and women all over the world who tell me they are so happy to get their lives back. I am sending you my regimen by email. Watch for nick(at)lucidboomer.com in your mailbox. The script is not long. You’ll read it in a few minutes and by tomorrow night, you will be well on the way to recovery!
Nick. (AKA-Max)
Hi Max. I’m 27, female and started having palpitations out of the blue 2 months ago. I freaked out and went to the ER, they did an EKG and blood tests and said I was normal.
I don’t have insurance because I only work part time, and they kept trying to get me to see a cardiologist and have an ultrasound and a holter monitor?…but I don’t have the money for that!
I am so curious about trying aloe gel (I tried the juice — didn’t help).
I would love if you could send me any information you have.
I started taking magnesium 250 daily.
My dr’s think its anxiety but my palps are seriously daily, all day. They don’t let out! Those little buggers.
I am so relieved first of all that i came across this site. second that you are still replying to people who have this problem. I have been experiencing this flip flop in my chest followed by tachycardia for the past two and 1/2 years. started out with 25mg of metoprolol now on 150mg a day. I am at my angry stage. i have had every test done possible and all are normal. even wore a halter monitor for two weeks had five episodes while wearing it, again nothing…. i am taking my life back!!! so thankful for you and this info. Will you be so kind as to send any info that you have to me. Please and thank you again.
Please email your regimen. Your site is very interesting. Thanks for your help.
max could you please send me the regimen report. i would greatly appreciate it thank you.started aloe vera gel 12/5/12 and have only had afib twice which lasted about an hour or so.also its the beginnings of afib which dont materialize into worst afib.this stuff is fantastic!my afib used to last for hours.thank you so much for your site sincerely,don pershyn
Hi Don,
I tried to email you three times and Verizon keeps kicking it back. Send me a direct email to info@stopheartpalpitations.com and I’ll get you in my address book.
Meanwhile, here is the link to my heart palps regimen. Free for all to download. I get about 10 emails a week from people all over the world who have tried this regimen and tell me that they have beaten their problem. It’s like music to my ears.
Nick’s Regimen
Nick (Max)
Joe,
The fast fix that will get you past the palps it to use GAS-X caplets if you can get them there. Here in North America, they are in every pharmacy. They contain simethicone that will rapidly alkalize your stomach and stop the inflammation that is causing palpitations. It’s not a good long term solution though. I am sending you my regimen via email.
Nick.
I am from lithuania. The only gel i find in my country is for skin care.
hi, i have heart palpipation and gum desease and i want to ask do I need aloe gel or is aloe juice good too? because i think i couldnt get aloe gel in my country,please contact me
Aloe Gel is good. Aloe Juice is not good. Even though they are from the same plane, aloe juice will do nothing for your palps. It MUST BE the gel. You can get aloe gel capsules in many countries. What country are you in?
If you have gum disease, then you will very likely have palpitations too. Gum disease is caused by the build up of tartar on the teeth, which leads to enzymes and bacteria that eat away at the gum. You will also have bone loss at the gum line. This can only be stopped by daily flossing and lots of brushing. I posted a “teeth whitening” article on the site yesterday that gives you the recipe for a great toothpaste that not only whitens the teeth, but also it is highly alkaline and tends to kill the bacteria at the gum line. I neglected to mention this benefit since I was only talking about teeth whitening.
Hi i think you are great I am going to try the aloe gel and also check my water but what would you recommend I eat and can you send me your regimine
Hi Sonya,
I have sent my regimen to you by email. I am getting so many requests this week. I really need to post some of the new information that I have. I’m so busy as a computer information technology analyst, it ties me up for long periods of time. I’ll try to be more diligent about posting to the site.
Max
I suffer from chronic palpitations. Many times they come 2-3 per minute and last days. Can you share your routine with me?
Thanks
Hi Scott,
I just sent my regimen to you as well.
Nick.
Hi Nick,
I just stumbled onto your site as I was looking up ways to stop heart palpitations. I am 32 and they started during my second pregnancy. I was told they would go away and nine months later, they are here. I have had an EKG with the all clear, and have been told to cut out the caffeine, etc. I do have hypothyroidism and feel that my palps are related, but until I can get back to the doctor for more blood tests, I am unsure. I have also been told it could be sleep apnea induced so I have a sleep test at the end of the week. It could also be weigh related since I gained forty pounds while pregnant and have been unable to lose it because of the thyroid. Sigh. it is such a pain in the butt to try and figure all of this out. I am tired of feeling scared and not enjoying my life anymore. I will definitely head to GNC tomorrow for aloe gel and I am hoping it will at least be a start. So.Tired.Of.Feeling.Like.This!
Hi Autumn,
Thanks for writing. I wrote a rather lengthy response to your personal email. Bottom line, we are with you. I sure know how you feel and you can take control and make a change for the better. See my email… check your junk mail. If you don’t find it, contact me and I’ll resend.
Hi Max, I’m 40, female, and have dealt with high anxiety all my life, many times due to physical symptoms like gallbladder pain, reflux,excessive (chronic!) gas, tightness in throat, shortness of breath, been to drs so many times, tests say all is well. I’m 230lbs, started feeling palps again, tonight as soon as I layed down to bed. Scary! Usually go away after 2, but not tonight. GNC has the gel? Ill get some tomorrow! Lemon juice in water is a good thing? Could I also please have the report? I’m ready to change my diet completely, whatever it takes. I have a new grandson & refuse to not be able to enjoy him! Thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge and wisdom with others in similar, scary situations. Peace to you, my friend.
Hi Goldie,
Aloe Gel is available at GNC! I have purchased it from GNC in Seattle many times. I also sent you a report of my regimen via email. For emergency purposes, you should pickup some Extra Strength GAS-X gel caps. When you feel the palps starting, then take one immediately. The Gas-X will dampen the inflammation very quickly.
Nick.
so glad ive come across this site max,and the time u take to reply to everyone is admirable.
im off to try and get this aloe gel (not juice!) today – im from england, so just hoping our health store sells it. ive had palps for as long as i can remember – at least 30 years now!, but they never bothered me as it happened only now and then, and a quick cough would sort it out until the next time.
past 3 weeks ive been mega stressed at work (medical sec)and have had poxy palps everyday, every hour, and my heart just doesnt feel like its pumping properly the rest of the time. ive had ECG, ECHO, bloods back in july following an episode of ectopic beats – boy did that scare me feeling my heart stop and then BANG coume back to life! tests all clear. ive also been taking Kalm herbal pills to try to reduce my anxiety state – just hope they arent the casue of the increased palps! anyway thats enough waffling on, ill let u know how i get on with the aloe – and once again thank you for all your brilliant advice marie
Hi Marie!
I’ve corresponded with a few people from my own homeland (England) and they report not being able to find Aloe Gel. They did find Aloe Gel caps, but no gel. Maybe things have changed.. I’m not sure.
The stress is a tough one. It changes the hormones and leads to a lot of inflammation. You might want to get hold of some Relora! I now take it three times a day (200MG) but that is mostly for it’s appetite suppressant ability. Also leaves you calm!
Nick.
Hi guys, my name is john and i ve been suffering from palps. for 15 years,my doctor raised my medicion (metoprol) beta bloker.to a 200mg. a day and still having palpitations avery day and nite.I was taking metoprol 25 mg. 15 years ago so there is no end to take this pills i guess.I ve been trough all kind of tests you can imagine.NOTHING wrong with your hearth says my doctor every time I see him…I ve been drinking 9.5 alkaline water,taking fish oil,collestrol medicine,water pill and 81mg of aspirin…Its effecting my life so badly dont know what to do…
Hello and welcome to the group! First thing I notice –> FISH OIL !!! <— Stop taking this immediately! Fish simply has too much mercury in it today to be fit for human consumption. Unless you can get farmed fish from inland ponds or trout ponds, you should drop fish for now. I am going to send my report to your email that explains what I did to cure my palpitations. For many people, mercury is devastating. Some people have a higher tolerance. If your doctor says that your heart is fine, then you absolutely know that what is causing your palps is the environment you are creating for it. You must change this environment. If the fish is sick, do you give it medication? Or change the water?
It would be very helpful to know what you eat on a daily basis. It might give you some insight as to the cause of your inflammation.
Hi Max I ve been drinking alkaline water about 8 mounts and its about 9.5 ph. I m 51 years old didnt have any serious health issues (kidney stones,palpitations)did play soccer for years,practice martial arts for 15 years but lately i ve gained a few pounds that i should lose it.Im 6 .00 ft and about 215 lb.Yes I have silver fillings in my mouth.I have alots of financial stress that keeps me up nights.15 years ago i ve had a panic attack and followed with palpitations(single premature skip)that my cardiologist said .Blood pressure was little high,and he started me with metoprol 25mg. to slow the hearth rate and control the palpitations.it helped two years and started again,my doctor raised the dosage every time palpitations started up.Now Im at 200mg. a day its not helping me i called him and told him still having palpitations and he told me take half more,it means another 50mg.total 250mg and still having problems now !!!! I ve been all the tests you can imagine thank GOD they all came out clear….Am I going crazy or what.I need your help man,I ve 12 years and 3 years at home I want to see them grow,its driving me nuts tha t doctors cant help me….Thanks for taking your time to listen my problem. God bless…
Thannk Max I have your E-mail ,and Im going to follow the directions begining tomorrow,thanks again, John N Oz.
John, One thing you might want to look into is a herb that you can get most good health stores, or from Swanson’s Vitamins online. It’s called “Relora”. It has wonderful benefits for relieving stress. I found out about it from some local police that were using it for reducing cortisol levels. It is just the bark from two different trees. It also acts a bit as an appetite suppressant… but I fight my way through that! Lol…
Have you seen the mercury in teeth video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylnQ-T7oiA
You need to get your dentist to change them. There are still some old and uninformed dentists out there who refuse to learn new things. If you dentist is one of them, you need to move on to a better dentist.
Floss the teeth twice a day until you get those fillings out. Cut out fish and fish oil. Take a good vitamin. I did these things, and so did my brother and many others I can think of, and we all beat our palps.
Nick.
You will prevail on this. And once you get well, you’ll never let it slide back again. Sometimes I come close because I like bad foods! But I know when to quit.
Thank you very much! It’s nice to know I’m not crazy : )
How to you take the aloe gel?
I have had a recent bount of pvcs at times very significant and lasting for days. Cardiac work- up normal ( echo, EKG, stress, labs). Annual physical – normal. GI doc appt yearly follow up post EEG. Which irritation was found and I was put on dexilant at that time.
Today durning my follow up with GI doc and explained cardio doc and GP cleared me yet I still have PVCs In particular recently after I eat (small amount) I asked about Vegas nerve and he ruled out that being the cause. Put me on Prilosec x2 at bedtime and continue dexilant. If not better in 2 weeks redo EEG to see if any changes.
Frustrating
Yes… this is so typical of the medical industry. Not a single thought about actually curing the problem! What you are experiencing is very common.
I’m sending you my short report on it. It is my regimen that I used to solve my issues. If your doctor clears you of any physical issues, then there is no reason you can’t also become a none-sufferer.
Hi Max,
I apologise I gave you an old email address that is no longer in use, could you please resend your report to the other address I’ve entered in the mail section, thanks.
Kelly
No Probelem! I resent to the new address.
Ive suffered with them for 6 years and still haunt me there so frightening, it makes me feel so anxious and worry just wish they would go away been to docs loads always same thing your fine they put me on propranolol which have helped a little but there still there just want to know what causes them and what else can help?
Hi Kelly,
You are just like the rest of us. Soon you will come to understand that the doctors aren’t really interested in curing you. They only want to have you as a long-term client hooked on drugs. Imagine how much money you represent to them if they get you hooked on pharmaceuticals so young? With all the diseases that will follow, you are worth a fortune to these guys. I sent you my report by email. Read it and then get back to us. You should be able to beat this if you have the will.
hmmm. Yeah it’s weird because I also have tachycardia which I was originally diagnosed with. My heart really does A LOT of different things. There are times that it will flutter and it feels like a butterfly is in my chest. There are times that it will beat so fast that it feels like I’ve been running for an hour and as if it is not fully pupmping but rather continually skipping beats. Other times it will feel like it completely stops beating for a second and gets really tight then lets out a hard thump that is so loud I can hear it in my ears. I experience symptoms everyday, some days more than others. When I experience the low blood pressure and lower heart rates I always know to check because I feel very light headed and just awful. I have passed out from it a few times in the past.
I thought it was just me. Scares the crap out of me.
Ba Dump, Ba Dump, Ba Dump……..THUMP(Whoosh-in my chest, neck, head – then panic/shock)…Ba Dump, Ba Dump, Ba Dump, Ba Dump……….THUMP(Whoosh)!
For a few months now, usually at night before falling to sleep. The last week it’s been happening alot and I have unexplained right shoulder pain.
So, I finally went to the Dr…Bloods, Echo, ECG and Holter Monitor. Will see the Dr again shortly.
In the mean time, thanks for your help and cheers to the alkaline diet and magnesium (by the way surely sardines are far enough down the food chain not to have concentrated heavy metals like mercury)… I hope it works!
Oh, I’m in Australia too, east coast just north of Sydney, I am 38 years old.
Wow.. another Aussie. There has to be something going on over there. Way too many for random chance. Have you tested your water there? You need good ph drops for testing. Ph strips work, but when they get old, they are wildly inaccurate. You can sometimes get ph solution from a pool supply shop. I get mine in small bottles form my friend who’s wife has a Kangen water ionizer. That company has their own brand of ph test drops and they work great. You could easily find a Kangen dealer near you and have him test your water. He’ll try to sell you a $5,000 machine.. lol.. .but say no thanks! I use ph drops from Best Choice Water and they cost me about $7 a month!
You doctor will likely come back with “you’re all good. No heart issues, … It’s all in your head mate!” He’ll advise you to avoid caffeine and alcohol. Bunk! He might even try to get on hooked on Atenolol or propaphenone. At 38 years old, you are worth a fortune to Big PHarma! They know that by 60 you’ll be on at least 10 medications. They love it!
Keep in touch!
Nick.
Victoria,
You are talking about Bradacardia. Was that your diagnosis? or do the doctors just say it’s a slow heart? My resting rate is 44. From holter monitor tests, I know that when I sleep my rate drops as low as 36. I don’t know why broccoli would affect you, though it has some polysaccarides that can cause a lot of gas. You might talk to a naturopath or wholistic medical practitioner.
By the way I am not a liberal and agree with your political stance.
Victoria,
You MUST see this: http://pinterest.com/pin/237846424041413321/
That is my pinterest site. I pinned a video there from a lady who completely reversed autism in her boy, Quinn. I am heavily into phyto nutrition and there absolutely is a connection between our intestines and everything else. We are just organic chemical plants. It is all about finding that right balance. After that, you will want to check this probiotic out. http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SWA014/ItemDetail It is from Swanson’s vitamins online. I’ve been using them for years. They have great prices and really good quality merchandise. The probiotic in the link above also has trace minerals.
To help with the anxiety, there are two things you can do to give yourself a leg up on this thing. One is get some GAS-X extra strength gel caps. When you feel this thing starting up, take one gasx. In about 15 minutes you should be calmed down. That is a sign that it is gut bacteria creating inflammation and release gas. The other thing you can do is to order some RELORA from Swansons, or get it locally. It is a herb that many police forces use to combat anxiety. It naturally lowers the cortisol levels after stressful events. It also acts as an appetite suppressant, so you’ll often see it advertised as a diet aid. It has zero side effects. I really like the stuff. I even give it to my hyperactive border collie! He’s nutso!!
Whew….!! I’m relieved! I’m on so many blogs its hard to keep the politics out. Here, I just want to help others. I know how I felt and I really though I was going to die…. several times!
Thank you so much for helping me and everyone else out in a situation I thought was hopeless. You are amazing! I’ve saved all the websites you’ve directed me to, including this one, and am sharing them with everyone I know. I am making a list of all the things you’ve mentioned so I can get started in the right direction and I have hopes that it will help my chidlren from never having to go through what I am. Also, I am so glad you told me about this RELORA because I have this serious anxiety that started when my palps did and is getting so much worse over the years. I have severe insomnia, usually I’m just very afraid to go to sleep, but even when I talk myself out of being afraid to sleep my anxiety is so bad that I cant actually fall asleep.
I actually have a question though…..do you think any of this will effect me negatively? I only ask this because I have bouts of low blood pressure and low heart rate that can be very scary. I notice it happens more so when I eat green veggies like broccoli and some vitamins and minerals.
Thank you and I agree with you about big pharma and have always hated taking man made medications with tons of side effects when there are natural ways to cure problems rather than just mask them. Another thing you may have already came across that is important to know as well is the dangers of flouride.
My brother has the same problem as me and we were just talking the other day about how the initial scare when it first started is what causes most of the anxiety. It’s this intense fear of feeling that scared all over again which only makes it worse.
I’m interested to read this article about gut bacteria because I have three children and the middle one is mildly autistic. He is currently in developmental pre school.
Also, two years ago while I was researching my heart issues I came across a website that was all about the bacteria in our stomaches. It was very informative as well as interesting and I beleive that the bacteria has to do with a lot of ailments people have. This website talked about how to rid yourself of harmful bacteria and what types of natural herbs and vegetables to eat to keep the bacteria levels low. I dont recall what website this was but I’m sure there are many like it.
P.S I actually just finished watching that whole video while typing this and it is so strange that Andy’s story is somewhat similar to my middle son’s. He was developing normally and then sometime shortly after he went to the doctor for one of his main shots he started digressing. He stopped talking and then all of a sudden he had a lot of fluid in his ears. I figured he stopped talking because he couldnt hear so I took him to the doctor. They prescribed him antibiotics which they did over and over for the next year because it never quite went away until he was almost 3. By the time he was 2 1/2 he had become so withdrawn and hard to communicate with. His doctor decided to refer us to specialist to get help for autism. I was so angry with myself because I felt like it was my fault this was happening like maybe if I held him more when he was a baby or something. Anyway the video was very inforamtive and helpful. Thank you.
I am 23 years old and have been suffering for 4 years now. I have spent many days and nights in the hospital and seen so many cardiologists that it’s ridiculous. I have been googling information on this almost every night of my life for the last 4 years and this is the most helpful and easy to understand thing I have ever read. It’s crazy because many of the things in here is exactly what I have experienced and also some of the same ideas I have had, like about the mercury fillings and aspartame and stuff. I have tried so many medications (which I am always weary of to begin with) and they all had horrible side effects and I would end up in the hospital with worse problems. For a long time they tried saying it was anxiety but I know it’s not because I only have anxiety once the palpitations start and get bad. It can be a very scary thing especially when you are sitting still with a heart rate of 210 bpm for over 4 hours on end. There are many days and nights I actually thought my life would end due to this. I have 3 small children and have been living of fear that they may have to grow up without me. I have also found a lot of comfort in finding out that other people go through this and are still living. Although it is a terrible way to live I am just glad to be here. My quality of life has severely decreased since this has started and I am so glad I came upon this website. I feel like there is hope and I definitely learned a lot.
Hello,
I am so glad you found the site. You’ve come to the right place. Of course, the disclaimer up front is that I can only tell you what I did to solve my issues. If several hundred others have also solved their issues with this method, then it will be up to them to relate their story. I say this because anytime people get together to share common cures, Big Pharma gets very angry. I have a friend who is an ex Big Pharma scientist and I have a friend who is the chief pharmacist in a cancer clinic. In my world, the US FDA will be torn down and built properly and big pharma will be neutered.
That said, I’m going to email you my report about what I did to cure palps for myself. The biggest issue you face is not in normalizing your body, but in getting some distance away from the anxiety. It’s hard to forget how bad we felt when it appeared death was knocking on the door. But in time, you will be fine. I’m going to include a link to another article I just wrote over on my Baby Boomer Blog. It’s about a movie recently released about the connection between gut bacteria and autism. I think the problem goes way beyond this. It is most certainly connected to what we are experiencing.
Gut Bacteria and Autism
I will caution you though… if you are a liberal and an Obama supporter, you wont’ like this site. While the site is for all things of concern to baby boomers, I am spending a lot of time exposing this fraudulent American president. I see him as the most dangerous man on the planet right now and I am working with a group of like minded people who intend to ensure he is not re-elected.
But politics aside, I want to help everyone regardless of their political handicap.
Hi I also have mild palpitations I will try drinking water and also put lemon in my green tea. I live in Australia and cannot get the Alo vera Gel but i may be able to get the caps are they the same.
Also I am praying to God that I am healed of these.
I will start and let you know.
Regards
Wow. I get a large number of people from Australia complaining of this issue. It’s disproportional to the population. I wonder what’s going on over there?
Putting lemon in the tea will do nothing except add flavor. Tea has tannins and tanic acid. You can’t fix that. But that is ok. The main thing is the other stuff. Eliminate sugar. Drink alkaline water. Eat tons of Kale! Gel caps work fine. I have them and use them weekly. They are 2,000 IU.
Nick.
Maree,
Do NOT drink green tea if you have tachycardia of any kind or palpatations! A sweet and very heart-wise nurse at Johns Hopkins who was treating me for tachycardia (16 years of it – yuck) told me to stay away from it due to the Catecholamines (Catecholamine Analogues) in it.
Here is a definition of Catecholamines:
A catecholamine (CA) is an organic compound that has a catechol (benzene with two hydroxyl side groups) and a side-chain amine.[1]
A catechol is a 1,2-dihydroxybenzene group. Catecholamines derive[ambiguous] from the amino acid tyrosine.[2] Catecholamines are water-soluble and are 50%-bound to plasma proteins, so they circulate in the bloodstream.
In the human body, the most abundant catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine, all of which are produced from phenylalanine and tyrosine. Release of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla of the adrenal glands is part of the fight-or-flight response.[3]
Tyrosine is created from phenylalanine by hydroxylation by the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. Tyrosine is also ingested directly from dietary protein. It is then sent to catecholamine-secreting neurons. Here, several reactions serially convert tyrosine to L-DOPA, to dopamine, to norepinephrine, and eventually to epinephrine.[4]
Various stimulant drugs are catecholamine analogues.
Great site, Max. Thank you for providing all the research behind it and being so open to sharing it with others.
It’s great to see people doing research! I saw the wikipedia article as well on this. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catecholamine) I am always cautious of any information I find these days because of good old “Big Pharma” out they spreading cash around to suppress the natural cures market. I realize that they spend 60 billion dollars per year protecting their markets, but still this is valuable information that we need to consider.
The work in this case appears fairly objective, however, they don’t explain to you that Benzene is a very dangerous compound. It used to be fairly common in soft drinks until consumer advocate groups forced them to take it out. Benzene is highly carcinogenic! Many of the softdrink companies put ascorbic acid in the drinks to make them “healthy” and at the same time they put sodium benzoate in. That combination makes Benzene! In Canada, Benzene is not allowed in anything – including green tea. That said, it is possible you have green tea then eat an orange and something else containing sodium benzoate. Voila… Benzene. I check my labels. Anytime there is sodium benzoate in the product, I don’t buy it.
I know from my own research that phenylalanine is a key trigger for me. A diet pill I took in my twenties set me off for really bad palps one time. I started researching it way back then – 37 years ago.
By taking Relora, I am able to keep my cortisol levels in check.
You comments touch on a very broad topic that we all need to be more aware of! Thanks for bringing this up.
Hi Nick,
I have been suffering from palps for almost 5 years now.
The first few months were terrible. Thought I was going to die, it just played games with my mind which made them worse. I eventually got much better and I still have them from time to time. I however have had them very bad for the past 2 -3 days now again and I want this to stop. My brother started having them at the same age as I did as well. I already went to GNC today and got some Aloe Gel. Any other suggestions you could provide would be so gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
-Chad
Hey Chad,
We all sure know how you feel. I’ll send you my report via email. It outlines exactly what I did to fix the issue. There is no guarantee that it will work for you, but it sure worked for me and my brother and about 30 others I know around the world. The journey to wellness is a difficult battle for some. We face an enormous fight for consumer attentions. Every day the large pharmaceutical companies and their friends in the US FDA spend millions of dollars to ensure you and I and everyone else doesn’t learn the truth. That there is hope and there is a way…. is known only to us.
I have been suffering with the “PVC’s” and related heart arrhythmias for almost 30 years. During this time, anxiety has always present and I’ve been taking Klonopin for over 20 years. The heart palpitations start the ball rolling and then of course the anxiety kicks in and then the heart flips out more…on and on, hand in glove! I too have been into the hospital MANY times and did all the stuff, holter monitors, Thalium treadmills, etc. they say I have a Right Bundle branch block that is not a problem! Still the heart stuff continues. One thing I’ve always noticed is whenever the the heart is flipping out, which at its worse can be a missed beat every 5 seconds or every two beats, my stomach is ALWAYS involved! I have told the doctors about this and they seem to discount it. Sometimes taking a TUMS or a Pepcid is the greatest help I can find. Eating seems to be the biggest trigger, eating almost anything will start the process. I do have mercury fillings (silver) that over 45 years old. I do eat tons of fish & seafood. I don’t floss enough. I had two kidney stones in December of last years and my doctor told me to squeeze a lemon in my water before drinking it to keep the water acidified. I have been doing that, but my heart flip outs have been worse than ever! In closing, let me say that I am buying that Aloe Gel today and going to try it. I believe in what you are saying simply because you are the first person to even acknowledge the link between the heart and our stomach! Thank you!
Hey Mark,
Good to hear from you. Your story is so familiar to me. One thing though. If you doctor thinks that putting a lemon in the water acidifies it, then find another doctor. He’s an idiot. Lemon actually alkalizes the water! You got kidney stones. You can make stones in a lab. Simply have enough minerals in the water and add acid, then heat. You’ll precipitate stones! If you just follow an alkaline diet, you will be blown away by how well you feel after a while. The Aloe gel will give you an immediate head start! After that, fix all the water you drink with ph drops. Drink at least 6 glasses as day. In very short order, you’ll be pissed off that you waited 20 years to find this out!! Here’s a link to pH drops. There are dirt cheap at about $7 per month. Best Choice Water PH Drops
Hello Max,
I could not find any Aloe Gel in the Uk and am currently taking Aloe Gel Capsules of 5,000mg. I take one in the morning and one before bed time and have not noticed any difference. Please what am I doing wrong? I also lost a weight from the worrying and observed that am constantly tired (boom and burst), still the doctors tell me my heart is fine and I should stop worrying. I am also using Magnesium Oil which helps me to sleep better at night and keeps the palps to a bare minimum but it seems not to work during the day.I am taking a lot of Vitamin C (1000mg) after reading doctor Rath report and also B complex, other multivitamins, primrose oil and herbal teas. Please help with other suggestions.
Thanks
Dewy
If the capsules are not helping, them perhaps you are still stoking the flames? If you are drinking any pop or beer, or eating greasy food (fish and chips), or consuming refined sugars (candy bars, pastries, white breads), eating pizza, or having potato chips..etc… then you are increasing your acid intake. Grease and fats are particularly bad. They break down into acids. Also, make sure that your cooking oil is not Canola oil! Canola is really a pesticide. Never consume Canola oil. Is your vitamin C from ascorbic acid? or from Acerola berries? Huge difference! It’s a fine balance that you have to find, but once you do, you’ll never look back.
I think this website is in the USA so what should I get as an Aloe Gel equivalent in the UK? It might work for me so I would like to give it a try!
Thanks
Hi Jeremy,
I had a few contacts from the UK who found they couldn’t get it. What they did find was aloe gel capsules. I’ll go through my emails today and see if I can find a contact for you.
Nick.
Thank you so much for the information on this site! I have been suffering from pvcs for 10 years now and they have been getting progressively worse. Like many people on here, I have had several cardiologists check me out and they were of no help. I would love to get these reports and info you have that has helped you. I have already purchased and drank the aloe gel today! I also have an interesting story related to my digestive health. As well as interesting stories about the vagus nerve. I also was hoping for any info you have on related eye health? Please contact me through my email. Again, thank you for this site! It has given me hope!
Kim
Hi Kim,
It’s so good to hear from you. You are among friends here. We all suffered the same issues. I will email you my report right after sending this message.
I continue to investigate and to zero in on the risk factors. Recent discussion with some of the other members led me to researching magnesium as well.
I found that the form of magnesium is important. I now take Magnesium Oil. I created a page on one of my other blogs that has my supplement routine on it. I get all of my stuff from Amazon online since it is the most trusted source on the planet now. And great prices too! Here is the site
Stay in touch or email me directly and we can discuss your situation.
Nick.
Hi Nick/Max
I am very grateful to have found this site, after one of my many nights of reading other people’s posts on how bad their pvcs, palpitations are, reading other’s experiences helps just a tiny bit to calm my fears. But when the ticker is really playing up there is no calming me unfortunately. I would love for you to contact me as soon as you get the opportunity so that I can tell you my story. My most recent happenings will be of interest to you, or so I hope. And maybe even, with your knowledge, you might be able to help me. Thank you
Emma
Hi Emma,
I am so glad you found the site. I would love to hear your story! I just sent you a private email with my report attached.
Write any time!
Nick
i have palpating and want some more advice, thank you
I would love to help you, but you drop 8 words, excluding the “thank you” and expect help? Have you read the posts of others? The one reason that people fail to find a cure for themselves is this: They don’t due their diligence. When your palpitations are scaring you enough, you’ll dig a little deeper in your quest for relief. I don’t mean to be short, but saying, “I’m sick. I want advice” just doesn’t cut it.
Nick (Max)
When I was 25 I had my first heart episode..while sitting at my desk at work my heart flopped in my chest like a fish out of water…well that happened maybe once every six months and only lasted about three seconds when it did.
I went to a cardiologist after the first one only to feel like a lab rat and told nothing was wrong with me. When I was 30, I went back to be re tested due to the flutters coming a little more often however none ever having any debilitating symptoms.
Now 33, I started having strange symptoms…I began having minor episodes of feeling dizzy but no other symptom…then I began having feelings of sweaty hands/feet, tingling head, feeling faint, and the urge to escape…this happened a few times a week to almost every day…now terrified, I went back to the cardiologist.
He said he would do more tests however stated I was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks…I had more tests and again…NOTHING! I went home feeling relieved, but then the strangest thing happened.
I had been exercising on a regular basis 5 x a week about 45mins a day….all of a sudden I wake up one day and my heart is just flipping in my chest…it goes on for about an hour or two ( heart rate is normal) then I noticed if I was sedentary they would completely subside.. So then I try to exercise and it seems if my heart rate rises then the flopping begins.
Also if I get nervous or scared it flip flops. I don’t feel faint or sweaty but it sure stops me dead in my tracks. Some days are worse than others on whether it freaks out if I am just walking….I am scared to exercise and even scared to walk sometimes…I do take fish oil every day, one aspirin (because of the recent flopping problem) and do drink 4-6 bottles of Dasani water a day.
I quit taking the multi vitamin because it contained caffeine which I have no been caffeine free for two months because of all of this. Any suggestions for me?
Wow… Good description Shannon. You are so much like many of us. The doctor is right about the anxiety, but that is caused by your subconscious mind fearing for the end! And if your doctor says your heart is fine, then that is really good news. As for the rest, it’s almost like you are TRYING to make yourself have palps. You are doing almost everything wrong.
First of all most palps are caused by internal inflammation. And internal inflammation is mostly caused by overly acidic conditions. In most people, it builds slowly over the years until they finally get cancer in their 60s or 70s.
In 2009, I tested 83 brands of water. You are drinking the 2nd worst one you could pick. The only way you could do worse is to choose Aquafina. Water that people drink, has to be pH 7.8 or better or else you are just throwing gas onto a fire.
If he go over to the discussion forum for this site (http://www.stopheartpalpitations.com/board) you will find my 12 page report on how I cured my own palpitations. It is in the “Heart Palpitations” area. I’m not allowed to say that my cure will fix you because the US FDA is actively protecting big pharmaceutical interests. Any procedure that takes money away from big pharma is normally attacked with a vengeance.
I am certain that you can rid yourself of heart palpitations. But after talking with hundreds of people online that have this same issue, there are only two questions.
If people fail, it is almost always because of these two reasons.
I wish you all the best. And if you want to talk about things, email me personally, or stop by the forum to chat about it.
Nick. (Max)
Hi Skylerfox!
Thanks for the recommendation. We are doing what we can to help people. I registered the blog and was typing the name of my company (Max Impact Solutions) when I noticed that the word “Max” ended up as the name the blog gave me. Oh well…. I’m Nick or Max or some even worse names if you ask my brother! It’s been getting so busy that I created a discussion group for this as well. I’ve been talking about heart palpitations since 2002 on the Irish Health Blog, but people need a forum that keeps going and they need to hear from people who have suffered what they are currently going through. So I created http://www.stopheartpalpitations.com/board/ as a discussion forum. I’m also starting to link my research there too.
Nick (Max)
I been having palpitations for about 3 days straight I went to the er twice and they tell me everything is fine they say is do to anxiety my doctor tells me the same she even gave me this medication called zoloft I took it once and didn’t sleep at all that night I felt my palpitations even more I’m getting very irritate that they don’t go away.
Hi Arturo,
I sent you some information directly to your email address. I also sent you some information on magnesium. Read through it and see what you think.
You are much like the rest of us here. It’s good that you have already hit the “angry” stage. Many people get stuck in the “afraid” stage for a long time.
Hey do you think grape juice would also help
The problem with grape juice is the sugar. High sugar drinks are an issue. Grapes generally are an issue. They will give many people gas and they will ferment and cause pressure on internal organs. Overall, you are more likely to suffer palpitations if you drink grape juice and if you are already susceptible to palpitations.
Max.
Went out to get the Aloe Gel but all they had was juice – I ordered it online and should hopefully have it by midweek. Nick, you have truly given me hope that I can figure this out. This might not seem like a big thing to you, but it’s invaluable to me. For you to put yourself out here like this to help complete strangers like myself…well, it really means a lot. I also ordered Relacore and look forward to trying it as well. I’ll let you know the outcome – keep your fingers crossed for me
Peggy, don’t think I don’t know the importance of what we are doing. I sure do. I don’t mind saying that I was practically in tears when this first hit me. I thought my life was over. When I went into atrial fibrillation on the really bad attacks, I was already giving out my last wishes to my loved ones. I didn’t think my heart could take 220 beats per minute for two hours! The first year was total fright, anxiety and panic. But when I lived through it, I started to get into the “mad and angry” stage. I started putting my research skills to work. I am, at the core, a researcher – but not an ordinary researcher. I get to the truth quickly. I’m the kind of researcher where – If you are company owner or a politician or someone not serving mankind well – then you have reason to be afraid. When my doctor friend first told me that his profession was not about curing people, but simply about diagnosing a disease for which pharmaceutical drugs were the answer, then I rolled up my sleeves and went to work.
I was determined to beat this thing and it took me over 6 years to really get anywhere. But now, I’m able to keep my palpitations down completely. I know exactly how you feel and I will do everything in my power to make sure that you and anyone else who suffers has access to the truth.
You say you orded “relacore”… I hope you mean Relora. Swansons Vitamins online is the best price around for most of the supplements that I recommend. They have very fast delivery and they are just great to deal with.
I partnered with a fellow you had two heart attacks in the past and had high blood pressure. He was on three medications. He’s 65 right now. We partnered with a large company to produce our own pH drops which we use in our coffee and in our water. There is zero taste and the stuff just works fantastic. We created http://www.bestchoicewater.com to market that product. But we both have great jobs and I don’t really care if people buy from us or not. I want people to be well. Best Choice Water is more for our own benefit than anything else. We don’t really push it.
I hope you keep in touch with us, because I want to know how you are doing.
Take care,
Nick.
Hi Max: I’ve been suffering with severe heart palpitations for a week. I’ve read that you palps can be brought on by a virus in the body. I have felt extremely weak all week and on Thurs, the virus manifested itself as a fever, sinus and cough. I’ve been to the doc who says everything is fine and he automatically RX’d me Beta Blockers – NO THANKS!! I want to believe that it’s the virus that is causing this but I’m not sure. I was also reading you discussing the vagus nerve. I have a hiatal hernia and take prilosec on a daily basis for acid (this has been for YEARS) – is there a connection? I started taking natural, whole food supplements in February and have thought about taking EPA/DHA and a mineral supplement as well. I’m sitting here typing this and heaviness in my chest (and the flipflops) are unbearable. I am literally at the end of my rope.
I would love to receive a copy of the .pdf you’ve mentioned in several of your posts.
Hi Peggy,
I have just sent you a copy of the report I wrote on this. A virus can trigger palpitations. It is one of the triggers, but not the exclusive trigger. There are many triggers depending on who you are. For some people, not be “regular” can trigger palps. If these folks have to go to the bathroom and hold it for a while instead of going tot he washroom, it can trigger palpitations as well. Sound nuts I know.. but it’s true.
The report will lay it all out for you. It’s what cured me, so if my situation is similar to yours, it may help you too. I know it has helped dozens of people around the world.
It sounds like your issues are going to be related to digestion. I have some recommendations in the report for that. I would get hold of some Lily of the Desert Aloe Gel asap and get started on that part of it. That will settle your stomach down. Then read the report.
Stay in touch!
Nick (Max)
Thanks Nick – I look forward to going through the report. I have had digestion issues for years and years and these severe heart palps for a week (I get a blip here and there around my period as well but have been told that hormones do not bring on palp issues (which I do not believe) – I’m sure you understand that when these happen, you want answers – you want a REASON – you want to get to the bottom of it. It’s scary as hell and so debilitating. It consumes your ever waking moment and ANY reprieve is so welcome. I’ve been in bed for 2 days straight with this virus and it’s now been over a week with the palps. This is not who I am and I need to get back to me. As I said before, I was RX’d Beta Blockers and my instincts told me to stay away from them. I believe in natural healing (I worked for an acupuncturist /master herbalist for 2 years and now work for a chiropractor) and know about the body’s ability to heal itself. I just don’t know if that’s possible without a little help when it comes to palps. Thanks again for any and all insight and have a wonderful holiday!
Hi Peggy,
I forgot to mention a couple of things in the last message. If you have a virus, the very best thing that I have ever come across is “Wild Oil of Oregano”. I discovered it by accident in 1997. I had picked up a wicked virus while working in a remote forest camp. It affected my lungs and hung on for many months. I had to go on “puffers” just to breath normally. My doctor, who was a friend of mine from university. We graduated together. He gave me Wild Oil of Oregano and in one week my lungs cleared up and I never used the puffers again.
Then when H1N1 hit, I tested it on several people locally. It “fixed” them immediately. So I went to the us Patent office to do some research. It turned out that at least three pharmaceutical companies that I could tell were trying to patent the active ingredient (carvacrol). I knew I had something. If you have a virus, get hold of some and try it. It must be Wild Oil of Oregano… and not just oil of oregano. There’s a big difference. Put three drops under your tongue twice daily for a week. You don’t take this stuff all of the time. After you use it for two weeks, quite and get some pro-biotics to replenish the stomach flora.
Anything, including hormones, that changes the metabolic and endocrine balance can trigger palpitations. Doctors study for 7 years and in all that time get only about 4 hours training in nutrition. Go figure.
Nick
Once again – thank you. My palps are non-stop and I’m trying to deal with them the best way I can this morning. This isn’t just a once in a while thing – it’s been always for a week. I have to get to a point where I “ignore” them to a certain extent or I’ll go insane. I pray that the information you have provided works for me and I can get on with living. I can tell you, this has been a HUGE wake up call for my life. I apologize for the multiple posts – sometimes you just need to talk things out…..I have a lot of changes to make….
Hi Peggy,
Don’t worry about multiple posts. The only thing that matters on this blog is people getting to the bottom of their palpitation issues. Talking it out is always good since the stress and anxiety can often be over the top. Can you send someone out to get the Aloe Gel for you? Also, get the extra strength GAS-X gel caps too. That will tell us right away if your palps are related to digestive disorders. You’ll know in about 20 minutes.
Nick.
Hi All,
I just got this link tonight. It is a movie created by the heirs to the Proctor and Gamble corporation. It is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s a must watch! If you go to the 49th minute in the movie, you’ll see their comments about the medical profession. Watch that five minute section and you will learn why you are sick and why going to a doctor is not going to help. Here is the link:
http://lucidboomer.com/free-energy/
Thanx max, I’m definitely going to give all these a try. I will write back within the next few months to let you know how I’m getting on
Excellent! Could you post a link to the gel here online? I’d like to check them out…
Hi there, here is the link
Http://www.baldwins.co.uk/supplements-And-Homeopathy/Aloe-vera/471
Oops! I don’t think it’s come through as a link! I think it’s because I’ve done it on my iPhone, or I’m just stupid and don’t no how to use my phone properly lol……sorry!
Excellent. I got it. This is very good to know. For several years people who write from England have not been able to find this stuff. It means that it’s catching on and there is now a UK distributor. I’ve put this in my list of resources and will include it in my re-write of the protocols soon. Thanks for the help on this Corin!
Hi max, I’ve had palpitations since around the age of 12, I’m 30 now and they’ve got worse in the last few years. My heart doesn’t race it flutters and skips beats, when it skips a beat it comes back with a real thud! I don’t need to be stressed when they happen, most of the time they happen when I’m relaxing and it’s very scary! On a good day I have 2-3, on a very bad day it’s every couple of minutes all day. I’ve had ECG & 3d heart scan, but unfortunately I’ve not had a palp at the time for them to find out the root cause. I don’t have much caffeine, probably 2-3 cups of tea/coffee a day, I’ve also stopped smoking and I still get them! I have a cousin with cardiominopathy and the doctors said there are no sighns of it on the 3d heart scan. I’m thinking I might have heart erythema, but they are difficult to diagnose as you have to be having a palp for them to detect it. Can you give me some advise on what to do? It’s ruining my life, I feel very depressed and scared to do anything. I would love to go to the gym but I did that before and my palp got worse after I finished my workout. Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Hey Coz,
I sure know what you are saying here. One of the guys that wrote to me a few years back was an “UFC” fighter. He thought that hew as going to have to leave the business. I don’t want to get too repetitive here so I’ll recommend you read the other responses. I just wrote a long one to Jennifer who is in the same boat.
I do have about 10 people in England that write to me about this. I don’t think you can get aloe gel there. It is only the sunscreen kind that you put on your body.. and that is no good because it’s loaded with chemicals and perfumes. You need the drinkable kind like Lily of the dessert. You can get Aloe Gel caps though. You might substitute them for what I recommend in the liquid stuff. Two caps twice as day or even three if you are really bad.
Side Note: I love my coffee and drink about 6 cups a day including Starbucks coffee. I have no palpitaitons any more. Well… maybe once in a blue moon if I am really bad! But I fix that fast. Get hold of GAS-X Extra Strength caps. Gel Caps. In an emergency, they will give you enough alkalinity to stop the palps. They are not a long term solution though. I forgot to mention that to Jennifer. Jen – take a GAS-X at night 20 minutes before you go to bed. That should let you sleep like a baby.
Hi max, thank you for your quick response:) just to let you know I’ve found lily of the desert aloe gel drink on a uk site, they do sell it in a health store by me but it’s the juice drink not the gel, So I would prefer to to wait and order the one that you recommended to me online. The gas-x extra strength gel caps are available to order on amazon but I might have a bit of a wait as they are despatched from the us, but hopefully it will be worth the wait:) I will keep in touch to let you know how I’m getting on.
Ops I called you Max, Im sorry! I meant Nick
I’m Nick or Max… either one. Max is what I used to set up the site.
Nick.
Hi Max. I stumbled upon your website yesterday as I was desperately trying to find some answers and solutions to my heart palpitations. I, like Lisa above, struggle with palpitations and it has greatly limited my life.
I cannot sleep on my left side anymore because my heart palpitates. Going to bed isnt even an enjoyable thing anymore because I can only sleep in one position. And I fear waking up in the early morning hours with horrible palpitations, like I often do. My last episode had me shaking in fear for hours.
3 years ago my doctor stumbled upon a heart murmur. I was also having palpitations then too. I went threw the whole slew of tests. Stress test. Nuclear test. Even went and had the cardiac cathaterization done upon my doctors request. At the time I was 36 and the cath came back showing a very strong, normal, healthy heart. In the past year though, my palpitations have got so much worse to the point I fear every day may be my last. I have a hard time beleiving that my heart went from a normal, strong healthy heart to a bad heart in a matter of 3 years. This also based on an adult who exercises regularly, eats rather well, doesnt drink soda, etc.
Now, IM scared to exercise (which is something I greatly enjoy), I fear being alone, especially with my small children for fear I will drop dead in front of them. I fear going places (even though I suck it up and go anyway) for fear I will have an episode. I always know where the nearest hospital is “just in case”. Its taken over my life and I really just want to get back to living again. Enjoying the things I love like being with my husband and children. Exercising. Traveling. Enjoying good food (unhealthy food, but nice meals out, etc). Just living life and enjoying what God has given me. But I cant. This has taken over my life and its making me miserable.
I stumbled upon your website yesterday and truly felt it was an “ah ha God moment”.
I started with some alkaline drops in my water yesterday and then got the exact Aloe Gel you recommended. I drank an ounce in unsweetened apple juice last night (because frankly, the stuff just by itself is terrible!!! HAHA!). I did have some mild palpitations this AM. I just finished another glass of juice with aloe in it. I am anxious to see how the day goes.
Im just desperately looking for answers here. I have seen doctor after doctor. Had test after test. Numerous EKGs. They even diagnosed me with Acid Reflux and put me on some medication for that. In reading up on it, I see its a pretty potent drug and I am slowing weening myself off it. I am ready to say idios to all man made medications and heal myself with food and suppliments.
Any direction, advice, thoughts you can pass my way is so greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your research and helping so many folks.
Desperate,
Jen
Hi Jen,
If you’ve read the other comments, you probably see that you are very much like the rest of us. You identified lying on your left side at night. That is exactly how mine started! It is a real pain because it’s hard to just lay on your back! I found that after about three hours, I could change to my left side and 90% of the time I would be ok.
I have already emailed my regimen to you. Read it a few times. The good news is that you can fix this, but you have to be diligent. This is not like a diet. There is zero tolerance for cheating. Once you have got your palpitations to stay away for a few months on end, then you can cheat a bit, but with certain precautions to mitigate your digressions.
The “frightened” stage is the worst. It took me three years to get past that. I finally got to the “pissed off” stage and that is when I started making headway. They aren’t going to kill you, but they sure feel like they are!
The heart murmur is not related to what you have. I wouldn’t worry about that. It could very easily have been an anomaly.
You must understand a couple of things. The medical system is strange. We all think it is there to help us get better from illnesses. The medical system thinks we are here to make them wealthy. Just like Walmart had “greeters” the medical system has doctors that patch you together after car accidents and such. I call them the “mechanics” of the system. That is all customer service. And like an automobile dealership that makes all of its money from the “parts department”, the medical profession makes most of its money from dealing in drugs. Pharmaceutical companies spend more than $60 billion dollars a year paying psychologists and scientists to find new diseases to name, for creating new demand for their drugs, and for controlling every aspect of what a doctor does from the time he/she leaves college. Anyone reading this knows this to be true. Did any of your doctors offer to help you find a cure for your palpitations? Or did they suggest you try Atenolol… or propaphenon, or some other beta blocker? Huh? The money is not in the healthy and well.
The money is in the sick. The world-wide plan is for humans to begin getting sick as soon as possible. By the time you are in your 60s, you should be on no less than 8 medications. I could tell you about the great cholesterol hoax, but that is almost a whole other website in itself. Bottom line is that cholesterol is NOT the killer it is said to be. The killer is homocysteine. Your body needs cholesterol and will make it for you if yours is too low. You are sold on the idea that cholesterol should be low because when you spend $60 a month to lower it, you are virtually guaranteed that you will get osteoporosis in old age. And when that happens, they can then sell you Fosamax and other deadly drugs. The reason they keep this quiet is for the money. They could achieve lower death rates just by giving you $6 worth of folic acid per month.
Jennifer, you will beat this and you will get your old life back. I am certain of this. Read the 12 page report I sent to you. You may not be able to do all of the things in it, but do the main things. If you have amalgam filings, then you need to floss lots and you need to take spirulina and chlorella.
NEW RESEARCH: I am working on some new research right now and don’t have all of the details, but its worth mentioning here. The herb “Cilantro” is proving to be ideal for detoxing mercury. If you have almalgam fillings, then you need to eat cilantro every day! The other new item is MSG. MSG is proving to be exceedingly active in creating systemic inflammation. I’ll be sending out some video information on this to the group at some point in the near future.
Stay in touch with me by email, and we’ll work through all this mess!
In the mean time, here is some interesting food for though…
Hungry for Change
I’ve had palpitations my whole life. I’ve seen 4 cardiologist who all say I’m healthy. I’ve had many tests and monitors showing a healthy heart. The palpitations get very frequent and bad-even painful and then they get better and few only to get worse again. Recently they have gotten worse and painful again. Chiropractic care helped for awhile, but I hadn’t gone in awhile now they are bad and even though I went back they are worse this week. I eat fairly healthy, only a little sugar, lots of fresh friuts and veggies and homegrowen meat. No soda. I started taking aloe gel last week but didn’t notice a big differance and the last two days have been worse. When I calm down they do go away once they start but they are terrifing. I’m only 33 and a mom of 6 little ones. I just want to do stuff without fear.
Hi Lisa,
I feel your pain on this one. Your story is like so many of us. I will help you through this. Step by step you can regain your freedom. I’ve sent you my regimen to your personal email address. Read it and we can start from there. One other suggestion, for those that are in “high stress” situations, I have found that a herb called “Relora” works wonders. I discovered it by accident when I was talking with some law enforcement people. They have high stress jobs. The fellow told me about Relora – which is the bark from two different species of tree. It regulates the stress hormones and naturally boosts DHEA. In researching it, I also found that Dr. Jim Levallee was using it in his clinic for metabolic disorders. By itself, it won’t stop palpitations, but along with other things… it will contribute to a very relaxed feeling of well-being.
Max (Nick)
Thank you so much!! It’s great to hear from you again
AMY
HI again Nick,
I’ve noticed you posted all the supplements you take. Perhaps you could explain what some of them are for or how they work in the body? (except for the Heepseed oil,EFA blend oil and Aloe Vera Gel, I understand those?) What does Co Q10 do? Lutein? What about the Liquid Kelp, and L Argine (sorry I am probably spelling them wrong) Nutrex Hawaii Bioastin Natura…, Linoleic Acid? Zeo Force ? What’s the difference between Spirulina and Chlorella? I take E-3 Live (blue green algae, is that good enough?)
Thank you
AMY
Lol… CoQ10 is a more necessary nutrient as you get older. You, of course, are years away from needing it! Essentially, our energy come from chemical transactions that happen in our cell’s mitochondria. That involves a chemical called adenosinetriphosphate or (ATP). At some point in our lives, we manage to mess up the equilibrium enough to cause one or more chemical reactions to NOT HAPPEN – which leads to dysbiosis. From there, things just fall apart year by year. Some people call it aging. I call it unnecessary. But with COQ10 we have a bio-availability issue. Many people swear that buying it in combination with ubiquinol makes it work better. I am biased, and just use my pH drops because the 63 dynes surface tension of this water makes all nutrients more available.
We almost need a book to discuss all this, but I’ll tackle one more. Lutein. Your eyeball is like a soft sponge when you are young. the muscles around the eye can pull the lens to focus the eye fairly easily. But as we age, and fail to follow sound nutritional principles, we begin to lose hyluronic acid from the eye. This makes the eye ball much harder. If it was a sponge at 5 years old, it’s now a rubber ball at 40 years old. The muscles would have to be enormously more powerful just to focus the eye. Most people are just not going to take their eyes to the gym every day. The result is …. READING glasses by the time you’re 40. Lutein will help you retain the hyluronic acid and help keep your eye supple.
Again, if you drink lots of water and use ph drops as I do, you will uptake all nutrients better. An example of this would be my wife. She is ten years older than me. We met when she was 48. She had glasses. She is now 67 and doesn’t wear glasses. She supplements with Lutein and Hyluronic acid – and she puts ph Drops in everything she drinks. She even gives it to the dogs! Our big Kuvacz lived to 15 – outliving all of his litter mates by 6 years.
Nick
Hi Amy,
I couldn’t resist another comment Lol… I get about 200 readers per day here now and it is hard to keep up. L-Argenine along with L-Ornithine together are oustanding healers. If you get a cut or wound, just take the combination of these two from Swansons and watch how fast you heal. I mean, seriously, it is probably three times the healing speed.
Liquid kelp it take to keep the proper levels of minerals and iodine in me. The Fukushima nuclear meltdown is dumping radioactive particles on us that gets into the food chain. Your thyroid will take a kicking if you are near bromine, chlorine or fluorine. And most of those are in your city tap water. They occupy the thyroid binding sites for iodine – leaving you deficient in iodine and susceptible to radioactivity. I use chlorella and spirulina for cleaning out any trace radioactivity. They used chlorella commercially at Chernobyl. ZeoForce is simply a great detox. I am beginning to like Great Plains Bentonite Colloid solution better though. It detoxes the heavy metals really well. E-3 Blud Green Algae is GREAT!
Nick.
Hi Nick,
It’s Amy from Toronto. We emailed back in Nov/Dec and then I changed my email address and lost yours! Luckily I found this site again. Well, I haven’t had much success in healing my palps but its my fault I guess for not sticking to a strict diet. I do take the Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gel but I find i may need 3-4 oz on a really bad day. My palps last all day long accompanied by horrible belching that rises after i eat or not eat anything. I started back on eating organic, raw vegan foods and some organic lean animal protein but really didnt notice a huge difference. I would belch after even the most alkaline meal. Sometimes I would even feel better if i did the opposite and drank and beer and had some pizza, I just started reading Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Breaking the Habit of being yourself” about healing your body by changing our minds? I really love the idea but I haven’t been able to think my way out of these heart palps. I have been dealing with constant belching and heart palps for a year now and Iam back full force to fix this problem. I tested negative for H pylori. I had an ekg done at the ER. Doc said Blood and heart looked fine. I am still not feeling convinced that I am fine but i am 36, and have always eaten well or so I thought. But I believe this may have been brought more on by stress. However, what’s frustrating, I find I cannot cheat even a little, a handful of my son’s organic animal crackers or a piece of 9 grain toast will cause huge belching. I find raw organic vegetable juice can cause the belching if it’s slightly too sweet with carrots or apples.! ( i chew my juice too) Pineapple juice which is very alkaline mixed with parsley is too sweet and it must feed the bacteria in my body cause I am belching and the heart starts palping! I am pissed off cause I eat better than most people and I cant seem to find any food that is tolerable. I;ll drink pure kale juice and I am burping!! Granted I do have more relief from eating clean and raw but not completely so I give up and cheat.. then I drink mostly raw vegetable and fruit juices for a few days and then get jealous of my friends who eat a doughnut with no ill side effects. Do I have to only eat vegetables? This makes me even more annoyed. I really love eating healthy but i want to be balanced. So my natropathic doctor has me on st johns wart for depression. I really only feel good when I am sleeping cause I find my waking hours are plagued with thoughts of “am I gonna die today?’ These constant thoughts and palps are affecting the quality of my life. I use to be such an athlete, now I only swim a half hour a couple days a week. ( I find when I am in the water I cant feel my heart palps as much). I am taking bio K probitoics, enzymes and Betaine Hydorchloride (cause I believe I have practically zero stomach acid). I put lemon in my water, I drink lots through my brita filter (is that good enough?). I take apple cider vinegar with honey. I am drinking the Roobios tea. I take ph tablets to balance my ph. I even put Turmeric in my quinoa as you suggested. I guess i just need some more encouragement. I love this site and all these posts and I thank you for the bottom of my heart for all your research and hard work and patience. As much as this sucks I am glad I am not alone. Thank you to all who post too.
AMY
Hi Amy,
Of course I remember you well! I often wondered how you made out with this. I have emailed you privately as well as a screened post to the blog here.
From the sound of it, you may have gone overboard. You might actually be in the range of suffering alkalosis. You can’t overdo any single element. My guess is that you have trouble with one or more digestive enzymes. That was probably killed by extreme diet one way or the other. And, you may be overdoing the supplementation. The first thing I would do is just take a multi vitamin. You have to let your body balance out. The only supplement I would take is “BioCore Optimum Complete Ultimate Full Spectrum Digestive Enzymes”. I get mine at Swanson’s. Best price and fast delivery.
http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SWU445/ItemDetail
What is happening in your body is that you are failing to ignite (burn) one or more of the peptide fuels. It’s like having water in the gasoline. The engine runs really rough! According to BioCore: “BioCore Optimum Complete contains enzymes to address every aspect of the enzymatic digestive process, including lactase to help digest lactose from dairy products; alpha-galactosidase assists with the breakdown of certain sugars from grains and vegetables; and acid maltase to help your body digest maltose, a common intermediate sugar in the digestive process. Each enzyme in BioCore Optimum Complex helps support the digestive process and promotes regularity.”
They don’t mention the fact that it also helps digest fructose by products. And fructose is big pharma’s little drug dealer. It’s in everything. And it messes you up badly.
The fact that a beer and pizza made you feel better is proof for me that this is the issue. Nothing wrong with beer and pizza, as long as you are going to run or do something with the fuel. Otherwise, you’ll just wear it.
Nick.
Hi; Do you use Aloe Gel Inner Fillet of Whole Leaf..
Hi Bert,
I use the inner gel. I use Lily of the Desert brand Aloe Gel. It is the inner gel.
I’ve emailed you my report on it.
Hi, thank you for the helpful information on your website! The regimen you sent to Chris, do you mind if you can also send it to me? I think it would be very helpful for my situation. Thank you, God Bless
Max, great site. I’m 53 and for sure am trying the aloe gel tomorrow. I’ve had skipped beats for 20 years now, and the doctors have no clue. I’ve had all the usual tests and they say my heart is strong. The doctors say this won’t kill me so when I get the skipped beats I just push myself harder and they go away for awhile until I rest and than boom, they are right back again. That seems so odd to me. It’s an everyday thing that I’ve learned to deal with. I just hate the sickening feeling I feel in my stomach. That’s how I know my heart is skipping. Does anyone else get these feelings in their gut? I’m gonna beat this and anything you could email me to put me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Chris,
I definitely know how you’re feeling.. .and I’ll bet all the others here do too! For some of us it has been even worse. It is like dying! The biggie is that it creates anxiety and eventually makes you afraid to do stuff. The connection is inflammation which is brought on by acid. Things like bottled water, pop, meat… all very acidic. I’m not saying you have to give them up, you just have to get your system balanced and then know how to keep it that way to stop these palpitations. Check your email for a pdf file that I’m sending to you. It has my whole regimen in it. Tells you how I fixed mine and how to stay on top of it. I name all of the risk factors that I found. I’ve helped an NHL hockey player with this as well as a UFC ultimate fighter who thought he was going to have to give up his career. I get emails every day from people all over the world who are in exactly the same situate as you seem to be.
Max.
Hi. Max.
Have suffered with dropped heart beats for over 30 years. Recently passed out and ended up in hospital, however docs think it to be re-occurrence of epilepsy, which I have not had for 20-25 years. I’m not so sure as the dropped beats do seem to feel different recently. I do not drink much water and diet would be a little on the fat and sugary side. The tricky thing about this rhythm issue is determining which type is present. All test I had done were all clear. I will be more careful with my diet and water intake; but I’m not sure of what to do with the stress in my life, which I’m sure is a factor.
This site and your information is top class and I’m sure is a comfort to many.
Kind regards.
Michael.
Hi Michael,
I sure know what you are going through. I have already emailed you a copy of my regimen. Inflammation is the big trigger. You need to read the pdf that I sent to you. It will explain everything. Also, you need to really cut out carbonated drinks like pop etc.
Drink 2 quarts of water per day!
Max.
Hi. Max,
Thanks for your reply and I’m off to open up that pdf just now. I don’t think that I am too heavy on the carbonated drinks but I could improve my water intake. Because of how little water I currently drink it should be easy to see what difference the uptake will have. Thanks again.
Kind regards.
Michael.
Some people just seem less able to handle acidity. This is why doctors have so much trouble with this one. I’ve talked with hundreds of people all over the world and they all have similar stories. In the end, their doctors just give them medication to suppress the symptoms. I can’t really blame the doctors. There are not enough patients with this issue to make a significant clinical study of it. At the same time, there is no way I’m going to put up with the side effects if I can beat it on my own!
If you are just borderline, then you might be able to beat it with just aloe gel alone. I know many people that have.
Thanks so much for this site. I have had heart palpatations off and on for awhile now they have now gotten worse where they just dont stop. Could you emial me everyhting you use as far as supplements and if it is ok to exercise because it scares me.
Hi Laura,
Thanks for writing. I’ve sent you the regimen that I used by email. Let me know if it doesn’t show up.
Nick.
Hi I’m 28 and have just recently started having heart palpitations daily. At first I thought it was caffeine induced, but I 2 cups is hardly excessive. I also eliminated caffeine altogether, yet still having them. I haven’t been to the Dr. yet. Anyone here ever hear of links between breast augmentation and heart palpitations? Maybe I’m be paranoid, but a sudden change like this with no known cause can be unsettling , not to mention the uncomfortable constant fluttering.
Hi Shaina,
I just sent you a copy of my regimen by email. It will help you beat this thing. You don’t want to go through life with palpitations! I had them for three years and that was enough!
Max.
Send me a copy of that regime as well Max. The doctor don’t mention any of his stuff.
Hi Amos,
Here is a link to the regime I use. I have it stored on my medical library on the cloud server.
http://personal.crocodoc.com/27bN5vl
I, like many on here, have been suffering from palpitations, I’ve had them for about five years now. They started off subtle and now they are very frequent, last for hours and more intense. I will do anything to get rid of these. It’s disturbing my life and my degree and worrying my friends every time it happens, which is about 4 to 5 times a day. I at first thought it could be a heart attack but was told otherwise my my doctor as my heart is perfectly fine. I am going to try this aloe gel in a month or so when I get paid but in the mean time would there be any cheap alternative or something you had found helpful before finding aloe gel, I’m just very desperate to start reducing them and eventually ridding myself of them. Your very right in saying it does fell like your impending doom.
Thanks for this website it has made me realize i’m not actually dying and i’m not the only one who suffers from this condition. Thank you
Rachel x
I really know what you are going through Rachel. I got your email about joining the group and I have sent you my ebook about how I cured palpitations. I am not allowed to say it will work for you – as the FDA and big pharma don’t like losing business! Talk over my regiment with your doctor and find out if these simple techniques are good for you. What I hear from those that have tried it, is nearly 100% success.
Stay in touch!
Hi Max,
. My body, while still getting palls, felt so clean this morning. I also noticed some cramping in lower abdomen last night after drinking it for the first time, which didn’t bother me, as I knew it was doing its job on my constipation too! Thank and I’ll keep you posted! I plan on talking to my new cardiologist (someone I’m seeing at Columbian Presbyterin for a second opinion for the palps), about the vegus nerve. I may want to see someone who specializes with that specifically.
Thanks for getting back to me. The brand is actually the GNC brand and I”ll use it for now until I go to a health food store thats close by. I live in New York, so I shouldn’t have an issue finding “Lilly”
Thanks again for restoring some hope in me !
All the best to health and happiness,

Bear in mind that *most* doctors are not trained to cure. They are trained to treat. Big pharma pays for the Universities they attend and the labs and medical equipment they use for training. They really owe their livelihoods to Big Pharma. You won’t find many, if any at all, that will even give you the time of day if you want to talk about aloe gel and internal inflammation. Their eyes will spin when you start talking about inflamed pericardium and vagus nerve. Most of them haven’t actually done the science themselves. They are significantly disadvantaged.
Hello,
This gives me hope and thank you. I’ve always been a healthy eater and an on and off gym person. I’ve had phases where I was more active than others. I’m 45. I was a smoker but quit for 5 years. My mother passed away and I went through some other disturbing emotional things in my life and started to smoke again. That lasted for about a year and I about six months ago stopped and tried the e-cig. I figured it was better than smoking. So I jump started my exercise regamin and started eating more healthier (as I am about 20 lbs overweight) and have 212 cholesterol and have also had diverticulitis when my son was about four months old and gave birth to him at 41 years of age.
Anyway back to exercise e-cig and eating healthy. I was happy to do this. And also started taking my vitamins more consistently. I suffer with severe PMS so I started to consistently take GNC woman’s mega, Co-enzyme 10 ( which I’ve always taken), don quai, ashwaganda, evening primrose oil cal/mag, 2000 mg of D as I was deficient in it according to my primary care physician. Two weeks later. My heart started skipping beats. I’ve had them in the past but never like this. It never scared me before because it was once in a blue moon. I noticed they were getting consistent. And I was thinking maybe because I started working out and pushing my body too much after being sedentary for a while, or the e-cig or I have a underlying disease I don’t know about.
I was and still am going out of my mind. So went to the doctor and wore the holtier monitor and lthey noticed too many skipped beats but wasn’t worried and said as long as you don’t have 3 or 4 in a row, it’s ok. I think the holtier results were 20% skipped beats. So I went back for the treadmill stress test and failed at the end as I got 4 skipped beats in a row… Next step nuclear stress test. Well I passed that one but during the test the doc was noticing all the skipped beats happening. It turns out the cardiologist had her husband working in the same office and she asked me to see him . He specializes in the mechanics of the heart. Oh during this time I was prescribed atenol which makes me tired but it’s a half of the lowest dose.
Back to the new doc. He gave me two options. Live with it while experimenting with what drugs work or catheter ablation. I chose the ablation. But 5 days before the procedure I noticed they stopped and cancelled. Well they are back. Seems like all day every day and I’m so panic stricken and take aprazolym for that. I want to try the aloe vera gel. I wanted to do this ASAP and could only get my hands on the vitamin shop brand. It seems like the same. Many years ago I used to drink the lilly of the valley juice for my digestive health. They did not have the Lilly gel so now. I want to use this other brand until I get the one you recommend. My question is can I mix my ounce with a liquid of some sort. It seems too thick to drink. I will if I have to. Please advise.
Thanks for listening and I think you are amazing. Once I get started I want to take he next steps if it works for me, like you.
Regards,
AnnMarie
Hi AnnMarie,
I got your message through my website. You give an excellent detailed view of your situation. You know, I get a dozen emails a week from people in the same condition as you. I really feel the pain and anxiety your suffer. I’ve been there. My brother is the same. I’ve written to probably 50 people over the past year. The good news is that this issue isn’t going to hurt you. It just going to scare the heck out of you. But once you understand it, you will be able to take steps to keep it away, and to get “get mad” at it rather than fear it.
Are you in continental United States? I have had some people write from England, Australia, Egypt and France and they couldn’t get the gel. I ended up getting some for them and sending it, though it costs a lot to send. The stuff is only $9 a bottle, but can cost $50 to mail off shore.
If you are in the USA, I’ll call Lilly of the Desert and find out where it is available that is closest to you. It’s made in Texas.
I have a friend close by to where I live (Vancouver, BC) that had ablation therapy. It is not very effective and the simple reason is that the arrhythmia is not caused by hyper excited purkinje fibers in the heart. The issue is caused by excessive inflammation around the pericardium which triggers palps when the stomach bloats from gas, or when the vagus nerve is squeezed. Doctors just don’t understand this, or simply ignore it so that they can sell drugs.
One thing for sure… you will know in one day or less. You can mix the aloe gel with orange juice or any juice of your choice. Best to stay away from sugary juices. I’ll explain that in a ebook that I’m working on. I’ll send you the condensed report on that in the next week or two (providing I finish it in that time). I’ve been so busy with this stuff.. it’s just unreal.
I’m 57 and suffered with it for 7 years before I fixed it.
Stay in touch and let me know how it goes….
PS. I’ll copy this to the blog as well.
Nick.
I’m 34, and have been having consistently rapid pulse for about four weeks now. It is much worse at night, and it seems that food, alcohol, caffeine, and not enough water has been triggering it. After reading everything on the web pertaining to this, i finally stumbled across your website.
They are so scary, but I am reluctant to want to completely cut out my occasional glass of wine or sip of tequila. I miss my coffee so much! I have read on multiple websites that my body’s PH balance could have a lot to do with this, so seeing your site if just another confirmation.
I guess my question is this: do you think that I will ever be able to go back to having the little pleasures of an occasional drink, or my morning coffee? Do you avoid these thing still, after the aloe and supplements?
Max,
My father dropped dead of a heart attack at 41. Granted, he was a smoker, stressed, overweight. But 41 is still a head shaker. I am now 37, in good shape, but very stressed (law school). The heart flip flops are getting worse. The last major episode was while lifting weights–it took the wind out of me, sent me to a knee, then to the ER. Now, my breathing seems labored; fatigue; muscle twitches; tremor. The vagus nerve info is very enlightening, and since the all neuro and cardio tests–MRI, EMG, EKG, stress test–were negative, I’m starting to wonder if that’s what’s going on.
I’m sure we all have our triggers: two of mine are putting my arms over my head (like that day at the gym) and lying on my right side. Sometimes, of course, there is no obvious trigger and I am just sitting in class when it happens. But I have always suspected something neurological or perhaps adrenaline related.
I am going to try the aloe gel and kale and cut down on sugar. My question is: what is the best and cheapest way to alkalize my water? If you can think of any other pertinent feedback, based on my symptoms, that would be most appreciated.
I forwarded your site to a bunch of people I know who suffer the palps, too.
Thanks!

I had atrial fib at age 37. Started with horrible stomach cramps and several trips to the bathroom. Thinking I just had an upset stomach. Then when I blacked out I had my children call EMS. By the time I was at hospital my heart rate had reached 220 bpm and nothing was bringing it down. No meds and no restrictions. Eighteen months later it happened again. This time woke me from my sleep with a bad stomach ache and soon realized I was in A-Fib. This time it was about 3 hours after I had a couple of alcoholic drinks. After in ER for 5 hours I was released to see my doctor and he cardio-verted me. Now I was told to stay away from caffenine and alcohol. Also taking very low dose, 10mg of a Beta blocker. Now get palpatations. I have always drank a lot of water and usually 1 drink a day with aspartame. I am now 40 yrs old and have not had caffenine or alcohol for 2 years. (Miss the adult beverage, not the caffenine). Each time I had atrial-fib I was low on potassium. So now I eat more banannas and when I feel palpatations I take a potassium supplement. I was told the low potassium could cause the a-fib. Now I am questioning if I should take the potassium. Don’t know if my palpatations are severe enough to warrant the Aloe Gel. But will do the lemon in my water. Any thoughts for me?
Wow.. Jamie. Your situation is so much like many of us. Mine was almost exactly like that. 220 beats per minute is NOT FUN! They didn’t invert me, but they came close. Seeing those paddles was enough for me. No thanks! One thing is for sure. You know your heart is strong! At 220 bpm for any length of time, it takes a lot of strength. This is a good thing. What you are experiencing is the slow and chronic move toward acidosis. You absolutely must eat more alkaline foods if you want to be ok.
Aloe gel is just a quick fix. Doing that offers rapid relief and lets you get some sleep. I regularly email my friends around the world who have written to discuss this topic and we compare notes. Recently – like in the last two weeks – I discovered another natural supplement that really works well! It is Celery Seed Extract. I take the pill form. The brand I’m testing is “Natural Factors” Celery Seed Extract 85% 3nB. Historically, celery seed extract is a very effective blood pressure regulator. A hypertensive friend of mine locally tested this stuff and in 8 days he went from a bp of 145/100 down to 120/66. I am finding that I feel much more relaxed and I sleep very well with this stuff. One of my favorite foods for keeping the inflammation down though is Kale. Seriously… find some and try it. Steam it for 15 minutes then put butter and sea salt on it. Yummy.
You will beat this if you want to. It just a matter of taking the steps.
Thanks for your response. I am so glad I found your website.
We’re all part of the same club. The medical profession has abrogated their responsibilities, so we are left to find our own way. Fortunately there are enough of us to compare notes. At the end of the day, we all win. Write any time. I handle all enquiries personally.
Wow Max you have some really great advice. I am suffering from palpitations right now. I plan to try the Aloe Gel. I had some palpitations last night but the Krill Oil with astaxanthin from Renew Life helped out tremendously. I can at least get some sleep. My heart went from racing and pounding to just lightly pounding and almost normal. I drink a lot of lemon water and try to put ph drops in my water since getting a water ionizer is a little expensive at the moment. I tried apple cider vinegar because many people said that worked for them but it made my situation worst and gave me the worst palpitations. I took Magnesium as well so I don’t know which one it was. But the omega 3 in the krill oil and alkaline water seems to help me. The doctor told me everything was fine and that I have a strong heart. She also said stay away from caffeine but I need more answers.
Amos,
You are well on the way to curing this. Pretty much any attempt to alkalize will help. I have used apple cider vinegar too. It has tons of other benefits too. I mix it with honey and water. I shouldn’t say this, because all of the ionizer dealers will be mad at me, but I have a water ionizer that I used for nearly two years now. I have experimented with the ionizer and with pH drops. Frankly, the drops are better for a couple of reasons. One is that people are mobile and machines are not! I can take my drops with the to Hawaii or on business trips. Can’t do that with the machine! And secondly, I can take the drop with me to work and fix any water that I run into. And… of course, they are dirt cheap. A $19 bottle lasts me nearly three months! You should read the articles on magnesium though. Taking the stuff orally is not as good as using magnesium oil. One of my articles has a link to the stuff I buy on Amazon. That stuff really smooths out the heart beats.
Nick.
Max i’m not a big candy/sugar/muffins/donuts/milk user.
i RARELY eat stuff like that, MAYBE once a month, if that.
but i drink Almond Milk, instead of cows milk, and i use the sugar free Almond Milk.
i also take 200mg of Jarrow CoQ10 a day. for over 10 years now.(forgot that one).
as far as water, i drink about 4-5 20oz glasses per day.
i walk on my treadmill 5 times a week for 30 minutes at a time.
i also forgot to mention that i found out Curcumin/Turmeric is very high in Potassium, and the anti-hypertensive i’m on is a potassium sparing medication, and i know excess levels of potassium can set your heart out of whack and cause palpitations and flutterings.
i guess i’m gonna have to experiment and see if by not taking these certain supplements if they go away, if not then i’ll have to reasess and go to a process of elimination.
it sucks because i’ve been doing GREAT for so long now, and just out of the blue this crap happens to me, its frustrating and breaks your positive attitude, but this time i wont let it, gotta stay positive and just focus on finding out a solution.
i’m also gonna try the Aloe you suggested, see if that helps.
You are very diligent! Most people aren’t as focused on this as you. Kudos! Potassium does cause lots of issues for many people. My own grandmother has to nearly avoid potassium completely. She couldn’t even eat bananas.
I would definitely drop back on potassium.
If Aloe Gel works on you, then you know for sure that it is related to your digestive tract. You are certainly getting enough water. Have you tested the pH of the water? If it is tap water, it could be acidic? ie Lower than pH 7. If that were the case, then all you are doing is drinking a few liters of acid per day. This wouldn’t be good.
Has your doctor has checked for a prolapsed mitral valve? Usually they rule that one out first.
i suffered congestive heart failure in 2003,
ever since then my heart has gotten better, my last ejection fraction was 50/51%.
but Sunday the 18th i had something unusual happen,
ever since my CHF i’ve always had palpitations/PVC’s, they might come once a week, they might come 2-3-4 times a week, then i can go a full week and not have one, so i’ve just accepted it, its no big deal,
but Sunday the 18th as i was sitting at my computer i started having one continuous PVC, it scared me to death, i got up and walked around, it went away, i went to eat, about and hour later i took a nap, when i woke up from the nap i went back to my computer, again continuous PVC’s started happening, this time worse, i was getting short of breath, i thought i was going into CHF, i had my dad take me to emergency, the Doctor confirmed my PVC’s and kept me overnite to do more tests the next day, so i had a stress test where they inject a medicine to stress your heart, a CTscan, an echocardiogram, ALL NORMAL, no ischemia, no blockage, i was STUNNED, what the heck caused this? since 2003 i never experienced this.
then today i took my supplements.
these i’ve taken for over 10 years, so i dont think they are the culprit:
NOW Acidophilus
Nature Made 250mg Magnesium
Twinlab Vitamin-C 1000mg
Twinlab Daily One without iron
————————————————-
these are suspect
Jarrow Curcumin 95%
Healthy Origins Astaxanthin
^^^^ after i took all these within an hour/hour and a half MY PVC’s STARTED AGAIN, what the heck???
i’ve come to the conclusion it must be the Curcumin or the Astaxanthin
because the other things i’ve taken for over 10 years with no problems,
so tomorrow i’m gonna skip the Curcumin and Astaxanthin to narrow things down, if the PVC’s continue then it could be the Magnesium?
BUT, Magnesium is supposed to help the heart, and i take a low dose, just 250mg, and in my multivitamin there is only 7.2mg of Magnesium, so i know i’m not taking too much,
i was reading up on contraindications about Astaxanthin and i think it might be the culprit, the literature said that if you’re taking a supplent with VitaminA/Lutein/then Astaxanthin will INCREASE those compounds in your body, and it can lower your blood pressure, well i already take a beta-blocker and an anti-hypertensive.
i dont know, but its weird how the PVC’s started coming back after i took that stuff, ya know?
so it has to be something i’m taking,
any thoughts?
Wow… This really sucks I know. I always felt as though I was dying. Eventually I got mad at it and that’s when I started to make some progress. The issue is inflammation. But astaxanthin and curcumin are powerful antioxidants. How old are you?
One thing you haven’t mentioned is water. Humans are supposed to be 70% water. Most people with these symptoms test out at about 49% water. Dehydrated people nearly always report that “I’m not a big water drinker…” or something similar. Water is critical. When your hyrdration level is 49% then all other chemicals in your body are more concentrated. This is why doctors are always saying things like … your cholesterol is too high.. or your xyz hormone is to high… etc. In fact, they are not high, it’s just that your water is too low. You should be drinking 2 litres of water per day that is at least pH 7.5.
You need to get your body in shape to have lower blood pressure without pharmaceutical drugs! 50% of people over age 60 are on a minimum of 8 major medications!
Do you consume refined sugar? Candy? Muffins or donuts? Milk? All of that is very bad. The sugar feeds the bacterial that create inflammation. In women that often translates to yeast infections.
Do you consume dark greens? Kale, Broccoli? Kale if fantastic! Steamed… with butter! Yum.
With this health issue, you can’t be partly on the right track. You are either on it or not on it. IF you are not on it, you suffer palps or pvc etc.
Daily – I take: Spirulina, Chlorella, celery seed extract, Vitamin D3, CoQ10, Lutein, L-Arginine, liquid kelp (iodine) and Nature’s Way “Alive” whole food vitamin. But I’m 56… I need help! Lol…
That said, I have zero health issues and I’m as strong as a bull. My resting pulse is 46. My blood pressure is 118 / 66 (used to be 145 / 95). I am carrying a few more pounds than I need, but I’m working on that!
I think I know what is causing it. I have experienced it too and wondered what the heck was causing it. I have Mitral Valve Prolapse and palpitations are a part of life for me, but the skipped heart beats are a bit scary, and before, I only occasionally get this. But recently I’ve noticed it’s become more frequent. Did you notice that it happens when you are seated for some period of time? New studies have shown that if you are in the sitting position for prolonged periods, it increases your chances of dying from a stroke or heart attack, even if you exercised regularly. If it’s necessary for you to be seated at work or whatever, be sure to get up and move about every hour, like go to the restroom or to get some drink.
Very good advice! For people with blood that is a bit thick, they can suffer from coagulation of the blood in the smaller vessels and also suffer from localized blood clotting. This happens a lot on planes when people sit for long periods of time. We were build to move! I take celery seed extract and this keeps my blood just right. No blood pressure problems at all. PMV is a tough one though. You’ll always have palps unless you have it operated on, but even then, the operations are that good. Soon, they will be able to replace those valves. I think we are only a few years away now.
that should have said- high quality “STUFF”. not “tuff”. lol
Good catch! Fixed…
hey Max, my fish oil is by a company called “NATURE MADE” out of Mission Hills, California.
———————————————————————–
here’s what it says on the label:
Nature Made Fish Oil supply comes from deep ocean waters, our fish oil is NOT supplied from farm raised fish,
State of the art molecular distallation is used to remove PCB’s/Dioxins and Furans.
which guarantees purity and potency, Mercury not detected below 0.1 parts per million.
———————————————————–
i’ve been using Nature Made products for over 10 years, i’ve never had any complaints, high quality stuff.
their website is- http://www.NatureMade.com
thanks.
Yes.. I agree. They have been a good company for a long time. They do their best to deliver the highest quality product always.
my Fish Oil says “purified to remove Mercury”, is this still not safe??
thank you.
If they are filtering the oil, then this is good. It is likely safe. I’d be interested in the brand and where they are located. I like to call these people and talk with their scientists. I would like to know what process they use to remove the mercury. It seems to me that if they are doing this, then the pills must be really expensive!
We have other factors to consider too. Just when we thought we were getting rid of mercury, the idiots in suites decided to persuade the population to use COMPACT FLORESCENT LIGHTBULBS! CFL’s contain mercury. Now there is more mercury in landfills than ever before. That mercury leeches in the water tables and … well.. you can image. We have a mess.
We need to take away the right to manage from people with degrees. They are hopelessly out of touch and behind the times when it comes to understanding the current research.
Hey I was wondering what the best way to consume the gel is? Do you mix it with anything and what helps it go down the smoothest? Thank you
For some it is not that pleasant to drink. I used to just dump an ounce or so in my orange juice. With the pulp and strong flavor of orange, you just don’t notice the gel. You only need the stuff for the first few weeks until palps get under control. After that, a good alkaline diet will keep you there.
Hi
Thank you for such an informative site. I have been doing so much research on heart palpitations because I am at my wits end and doctors can’t seem to give me an answer.
My palps started 3 years ago during my 2nd pregnancy. I was taking a pregnancy vitamin supplement during my first trimester and my palps started with it. doctors did some tests and came back with nothing. they said it may have been a sensitivity to the ingredients in the vitamin and it would stop in a few weeks…… but it never did. I was getting palps every fews days but they got worse over time. now I skip a beat/ have an extra beat every minute along with several bouts of tachycardia during the day (more so at night). it has been this way for a while now and Ive had enough. Ive noticed they seem to be worse when lying down at night and wake me during my sleep if im lying down or after I eat. so Ive resorted to sleeping upright as I dont notice them as much and have tried to cut back to 1-2 meals a day so I dont have to feel the thumping of my heart and palps afterwards. I dont smoke or drink alcohol, I dont eat sugar, and dont drink soda/sugary drinks. I drink alot of water (tap filtered) and 3 coffee’s a day. Im only 26 yrs old and I want my life back. Ive avoided doing alot of things that make my palps worse. I have polycystic ovarian disease and have spoken to other women with the same condition to see if they suffer from palps too. alot do. could extra weight and insulin resistance be a factor in this? forunately for me I dont suffer from insulin problems with my PCOD but my hormones are severely out of order. not sure if hormones play a part in Palps though.
The information you have posted makes alot of sense though! I cant seem to find ALOE GEL (I live in australia) at health food stores, but I have read that lemon water, apple cider vinegar, baking soda and watermelon will alkalize the body. have you heard of this aswell?I will keep searching for the aloe gel but I would like to know of any other remedies that actually work. I tried backstrap molasses and potassium supplements but that did nothing.
also is organic fruit and vegetables helpful?
having palpitations every minute of the day is affecting my well being, I feel so run down. Ive had enough with putting up with the palps and want some sort of normal in my life. I know alot of people can go their whole life with suffering from it but I dont want to be one of them.
any feedback would be much appreciated
kind regards
Angie
Hi Max,
Great info! I get palps a few times a year and they last anywhere from several minutes to more than an hour. Your suggestions seem to decrease the frequency of palps, which I plan to follow. Have you found anything to stop an ongoing “attack” once it starts? Does the aloe gel (or anything else that you’ve found) have an immediate effect?
Thanks!
Once you follow the regimen, you will find that they just hardly ever come around again. However, we all like to endulge our favorite foods and some times cheat a bit. If you feel one coming on, you need be very aware of your chest. The microsecond that you feel one coming, take a very quick medium-deep breath as fast as you can. It is like getting the air into your lungs in record time. Do two or three of these, then on a fourth breath, hold it for a few seconds and let it out slowly. These are not full lungs full of air… just half full. If that doesn’t catch it in time, I’ve often taken TWO extra strength GAS-X gel caps. Lay down on a bed and in abut 10 minutes you’re good to go. That was my little trick… and it worked for a few others that I’ve talked with about this.
Take care!
Hi,
I am 26 and have gone into atrial fibbrilation twice about 2 months ago. SInce then I have been getting palps somewhat regularly and they scare me when these episodes occur. Also, two weeks after the a-fib episodes, I almost collapsed in my shower and was the cause of vestibular neuritis. I have been home sick with this virus for the past 6 weeks now. Do you think the virus in my body could have caused both the a-fib and inner ear vestibular neuritis? I also had extremely low testosterone- it was 257 and should be 600+ for my age.
I fear doing much exercise because I tried a week ago and i started getting palps with my fast heart rhythm. Is my heart just still more tender or sensitive now since I recenlty had the a-fib episode and i’ve been sitting home for 6 weeks not doing much cause of the vestibular dysfunction? What do you make of all of this? I’ve had all EKG, Electrocardiogram, xrays, brain mri, etc and all came OK.
Also, are you suggesting we try the “inner filter” aloe gel or the “whole leaf” aloe gel? Please clarify. I’m desperate for anything. I want my life back!
Great site. I hope you can guide me to a healthy heart.
Rob
Hi Robert,
You have an interesting story. What you have is very common among those that I’ve talked with in regard to this palpitation issue. Bear in mind that I am not a doctor! I am just a guy who had the same issues as you. All I can do is relate to yo what I did, and what my brother and a few others I know did to permanently fix their issues.
You’ll note that on the WEB-MD site for “Vestibular Neuritis” they indicate inflammation as the root cause. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002049/
The viruses cause an inflammatory reaction that triggers histamine. Therefore, they talk about anti-histamine. My approach was that it is much more than simple inflammation. It is system wide inflammation that pressures the heart – or more likely the pericardium – to interfere with heart rhythm.
The aloe I use is Lilly of the Desert brand Aloe Gel, and it is the INNER FILLET. Here is a link to them: http://www.lilyofthedesert.com/our_products/item/inner-fillet-aloe-vera-gel/20
But there is no magic pill here. You will have to do much more than just take aloe gel. You need to address a few things. One being that you are chronically acidic – leading to all this inflammation. The medical system might love you since you are growing up to be the perfect little consumer of their drugs. But I am here to tell you that this is not a nice lifestyle if you opt to let big pharma be your saviour.
When I had the viral infection, I used Wild Oil of Oregano (P73) to kill the infection. That stuff works fantastic! I used the pill format and took two a day for 10 days. That is all I needed to get me off my puffers. I had been on puffers for 8 years prior to that.
After you kill the infection, you need to get alkalized. You need to put lemon in your water or get ph drops. You need to eat very dark green veggies. I steam KALE three times a week. Sometimes I just eat a raw KALE salad.
Other supplements I take to stay alkaline are:
- Spirulina
- Chlorella
- L-Arginine
- Trace Minerals (Concentrace)
I try to avoid all sodas/pop, and acid forming foods. If I am going to eat an acidic food, I take aloe gel first. Very likely you system is in dysbiosis. You are not producing the correct enzymes to carry out the normal bodily functions. If you opt to “take a pill” to increase testosterone artificially, then there is a consequence. We don’t know how that will manifest in your body. I always opt for the natural methods. Your body wants to make the right stuff, but it is being blocked. Find the block and remove it.
My guess is that if you got rid of your virus, then lowered your inflammation, and then got good exercise and stayed away from acidic foods, your testosterone would naturally climb. You can take saw palmetto as a herb to affect it if you want, but I think your body will do the work itself. It goes without saying that if you are wearing tight underwear like “briefs” your testicular temperature will affect testosterone production too. Also, you are low in cholesterol, that will affect it. Cholesterol is not a bad thing, like they want us to believe. It is good. But that is a whole other article!
Regarding the testosterone – It if is too low, it is so because something is inhibiting the formation of testosterone.
When you say laxative, do you mean like the latex or aloin in the leaf because I heard that’s the bad part; or does it mean something else? I read some articles saying that part of the outer leaf contains latex or aloin that can be very bad for my kidney. According to them, the gel is supposed to be good for the kidney. Yes I meant chronic kidney disease and the doctors didn’t prescribe anything because I already have low-blood pressure and the medicine would make my blood pressure even lower.
The JUICE has a laxative effect. I can’t speak to where they get the juice constituents. I just know that the GEL is the best when you need inflammation control. They are right about the Gel. It is likely due to the highly anti-inflammatory properties of the Gel. If you show your doctor the Lilly of the Desert label for the Gel, he’ll be able to advise you.
Max can you explain what type of water we should drink and what fish oil to take. Thank you
Yes! The first thing you need to do is test your drinking water. If you live in the USA, then you can get pH test strips from a health food store or from a pool supply store. You need your water to be pH 7 or better. If your water is less than pH 7, then you are doing harm to yourself. Some well water that I’ve tested, comes out at pH 5.5. That is horrible! If your water is in the range of 6.2 to 7, then you can easily and cheaply fix it. Here are the pH drops that I use. Get a dripper cap from your local drug store, and you can then just put three drops into each glass of water. That will normally take your water up to pH 7.5 to 8.0
Regarding fish oil – Stay away from the big box stores!!! I like Astaxanthin and Krill Oil. Here is the stuff that I use. It’s great!
Nick.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. I don’t want to sound redundant but does it mean the inner filet gel is better than the inner filet juice? Just to confirm. Also does aloe vera gel work well with kidneys, because I have CKD. Thanks a lot for all your helpful info, it sure helped me a lot!
Aloe does a lot of things. But for our purpose – heart palpitations – it is the alkaline stomach calming effect of the inner fillet gel that does the trick. The inner fillet juice is more of a purgative or laxative.
When you say CKD, you are referring to chronic kidney disease correct? What are the doctors prescribing? What do they say? Any anti-inflammatory is good for the body. It is what we fight the most in our lives and is what leads to the most disease.
I been having heart palpitations for about a little over a year now and I used to have about only total 3 a year. About two months ago i started having about once or twice a day. I found your website and tried to follow your advice and got some aloe gel and juice from Lily of the Desert. Fortunately they did make some difference for I have only taken it for 2 weeks so far. However I have a question. The aloe I take only contains the inner filet, not the whole leaf. According to Lily of the Desert’s website there is very little difference between their inner filet juice and gel. The only difference is that they a thickening substance to turn the juice into gel. I even called a representative from their company to confirm. However you say that there is a big difference. Please help! Thank you
Very good read, I have been suffering from palps for almost 2 years and they are off and on some much worse than others! I get bad ones after exercising for long periods of time, but I am in great shape! After a long day of physical work I will get them every minute or two for up to an hour! Also I get them in pressure situations, for example I coach football and call the plays so sometimes I get nervous and my heart will skip multiple times. Do you think everything you have suggested will help that too? Thank you, I’ll do anything to fix this!
From what you describe, you are like I was. The key is to keep the alkalinity up and the inflammation down. I eat a lot of raw Kale now too and that helps.
But the best thing I did was drink high alkaline water. I put hunzana ph drops in all of my water and it helps to alkalize me in an environment where good alkaline food is hard to get. If you go out and get some Aloe Gel or Aloe Gel caps and take them three times a day, you should notice a big improvement too. But if you drink a lot of pop/soda, nothing you can do will help you. You’ll just get worse over the years.

Great site, am glad i stumbled upon it. I am intrigued to read about the acid stuff as I started having palps about two years ago, from out of nowhere!! Went to Doc, he chked bp & heart, I was ok. 23 Sept. this year ended up in A & E thought I was having a stroke/heart attack, got palps and other stuff driving home from work. Loads of tests, ecg, xrays, bloods etc. All clear, blamed stress. Even though I don’t feel stressed I still suffer from palps. But, as I sit here having a glass of wine … plenty of acid & blah sugar it seems worth a try to cut it out!! (which I have about two of five nights a week). Thanks. As I don’t eat fish, maybe once a month, don’t take vitamins or drink fizzy drinks & drink alot of water seems might be the problem, either that or the lattes as I’ve heard caffine ain’t good for palps either. Cheers. Ellen
Hi Ellen,
I’m blown away by the sheer number of us that suffer from this. I no longer do, but I get a ton of email from all over the world from people who do. It seems that doctors really just don’t see enough business in this market to fix things. That’s why I trotted off to find my own cure.
Doctors always blame the “usual suspects” – Coffee, stress, anxiety, overweight, underweight and more. All have that is a waste of air. I’ve found that for most of us the key is in the connection between the digestive tract and the heart. There are a pile of things that influence that relationship, but if you want a real fast relief, here’s what you do.
Go to your best local health food store and find “Lily of the Dessert” brand ALOE GEL. Get an 8 ounce bottler – cost is about $9. Drink one ounce of ALOE GEL three times a day for a week. Then cut back to once a day, then only as needed. Please – DO NOT CONFUSE ALOE GEL WITH ALOE JUICE! 90% of those I speak with for some reason don’t get that I am talking about ALOE GEL! I must be a crappy communicator I guess. Lol
Just Google the stuff and you’ll find it. I’ve been to the US Patent office and I have seen that there are at least two pharmaceutical companies trying to patent the active ingredients in aloe gel. They know full well the implications for this product. If they are ever successful, they will then pay off state legislators to force health food stores to stop carrying the real stuff!
I am at least four years clear now.
You know the feeling… It leads to all kinds of other issues. Fear of exercising. Fear of going to work. Fear of going out at all! It’s life ruining… so get rid of it asap.
And keep in touch. I want to know how you’re doing!
Nick.
Ive had heart palputations for about a year and a half and dont know what to do im in eighth grade and cant do and exercise for a certain amount of time I get them every morning,at p.e and it sucks I need help fast please email to tell me if aloe gel will work for me and where to get it please email me at ccoltin@gmail.com or call at [number hidden for pirvacy] please!!!! Thanks
I have been suffering from tachycardia for the past 3 years. One can only imagine how this impacts your life. Your right when you say nobody should go through this. Not only are you feeling a fast heartbeat most of your day but the anxiety that is making your heart beat so fast. That anxiety is what makes the suffering so horrific. Your article has given me hope and I started taking the aloe vera gel. It’s funny how priceless health really is in this world. I hope everyone realizes that.
You are so right on! Someone once said that man is the only species that will spend his whole life (and health) in pursuit of money, then right and the end he’ll spend all his money to get his health back! Are we stupid!
I had tachycardia too. It was atrial fibrillation. 220 beats per minute for four hours once. I think I slept for 6 hours after than one.
Inflammation leads to palps and that triggers anxiety because we think we are dying. And all of THAT trigger atrial fibrillation. You can beat this. It takes many months of reduced attacks before one’s mind gets that we are going to be ok. For me a trick was to get mad at the attacks. Psychological responses typically begin with surprise, then fear, then anxiety, then either psychosis or anger – depending upon your mental state. I chose to go right to “pissed off”. Of course being Irish helps tremendously.
We have to distance ourselves from mercury (in teeth, in vaccines, in fish, in fish oil, etc…) and from fluorine and chlorine in water. Also refined sugar is very very bad. If you can get hold of some organic KALE, that stuff is outstanding for helping to alkalize you. It is a very powerful antioxidant.
All the best to you…
Nick.
what a great site! i’m dying to get my hands on some aloe gel. it’s really expensive at my local herb store, so i’ve been looking online. i went to lily of the desert and there are 2 kinds of aloe gel. there is the whole leaf and the inner fillet. Which one do i get? i want to make sure i buy the right thing so i can stop these palps. thanks so much!
Hi Shelly,
I replied by email directly. Hopefully you got the regimen!
Nick.
Good day to you, Max
I just happened on your site today. Wonderful ! I was busy for hours taking notes, but well worth the time spent.
I want to discuss bottled water. I have read horror stories on BW in the U.S.
I live in France and do not drink tap water at all.
Reasons : my building was built in 1973, the water pipes are of origin and who knows what comes out of the tap. I use it to cook and for coffee, after letting ir run several minutes. The bottled water that I drink has an excellent pH 7.7. It is eau de source , natural , brand name CRISTALINE with 0 nitrates. The area where I live is surrounded by agriculture and tap water which is considered safe and under the toxic nitrate rate in the city, is not reassuring. I stopped drinking EVIAN several years ago when I found out that a well known American food and soft drink company had bought it.
I eat fish occasionally but never buy any fish product raised on a farm i.e. Norway, Ireland, etc.
I almost cracked when I read your opinions on fish oil capsules (Omega 3). Have been daily for years taking Solgar 1 capsule of Norwegan cod live oil for both Vit. A and D. Then, 1 month ago I started taking the Omega 3 fish oil caps in addition. Whoops ! Will not do that anymore ! Nowhere on the label is the mention “purified to eliminate Mercury content.”
Now on to palpitations….. I have experienced them on and off now for the past month or two. I wonder if I don’t spend too much time at my computer since they seem to occur while seated before it. I do not yet have any cardiac problems tho’ I am 75. So for the palpitation problem I take Hawthorn capsules which also keep stress down. What do you think ?
This mail is getting a bit long and I know you are a very busy person. So many thanks for your wisdom and I will continue to consult your site.
Best regards,
S.C.
Hi Suzanne,
It’s good to hear from you. I did a test on 83 brands of bottle water here in North America and I was disgusted with the results. The only brand I found any good over here was Fiji water, but it is very expensive here. If your water is 7.7 that is perfect!
For Omega oils, I like to use cold pressed Hemp oil. I also use grape seed oil and black seed oil. Black seed oil is quite peppery flavored and good for salads. It carries many health benefits. I will put it on the list of articles to do for the site.
You mention sitting at the computer. Do you have an LED screen or an old CRT (cathode ray tube)? LED give off next to no radiation. Also, I made a correlation in my database for people who sit at the computer and who lean slightly back while seated. If you sit completely upright there is no indication of palpitations, but when people reclined a few degrees, which is much more comfortable, then palpitations were indicated. The reason for this is the internal inflammation and the weight factor of the organs that are no longer in a vertical line. When you are reclined, you can exert more pressure on the vagus nerve – which can lead to palpitations.
The next big factor is your teeth. If you have mercury fillings, then you will be leeching mercury vaopors into your blood stream 24/7. I always recommend that people have their amalgams taken out and replaced with other material.
When the stomach has to process foods that are highly fatty or have high sugar content and processed carbohydrates, you can create a lot of pressure on your organs to deal with this. I have found that by following the Paleo diet, I am much better.
One last thing – I really like the benefit I get from taking Relora. It is just a bark from two trees that is ground to a powder. It really allows me to feel relaxed and has zero side effects. Our police and corrections staff take it here in Canada. I see, too, that it is sold as a diet aid online. This is because it reduces the stress hormones and makes you have less stress related eating.
If you want to know the shape of your heart – Take a look at your ankles. Puffy ankles, that are clearly holding a lot of water weight, is a sure sign the heart is having to work too hard.
Hello Max,
Many thanks for your reply.
Have noted for Omegas : pressed hemp oil and black seed oil. Had noted that you recommended Krill oil as another source.
As concerns my computer screen : I have a flat LED.
However , yes … I do have a tendency to hunch over or lean back while seated. Have noted your comments.
Next : no problem with fillings. I have false removable teeth, very comfortable, no problem and not the sort of uppers that deform the shape of many elderly ladies upper lip.
Next : I stay far away from fatty, processed food and sugar. Have also been avoiding anything with palm oil indicated on label for years. Maufacturers are getting wise to this problem in France and underline No palm oil or additives, etc. on packages. Doesn’t mean that I buy, but is a good start in the right direction.
As for Relora. Had already noted, thanks. Never buy online, sorry. Will look around at a health food store here (Naturéo) for this.
No problem with ankles.
I neglected to mention in my first mail, the palpitations I experience are not excessive and frightening as experienced by most of your readers. Thank goodness! Hope they never reach that stage.
Many thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your interest and comments. Will get back to you when a question comes up or I have information that would be of interest to you.
Untill then, bonne continuation in your useful and helpful research.
Sincerely, S.C.
Hi Suzanne,
Yes, I do use Krill oil and Astaxanthin. I don’t use them all of the time however. I consume my supplements and my food much like our bodies were designed for. I’ll use the Krill for perhaps two weeks, then off for a month. I am off and on with all of my stuff. The reason for this is that way back when were were hunters and gatherers, we didn’t have the ability to go to the kitchen or the store and get the same things to eat all of the time. So I will usually cycle through my food groups in an organic way.
The other oil to stay away from is CANOLA oil. It was developed as a pesticide, but since it is so cheap, and since the damage it causes is hard to measure, it was quickly marketed to fast food places. Much of their deep frying is likely Canola oil. That said, by all means keep some around the house to use as insecticide on your plants. Just don’t eat the stuff!
From what you describe, you are in good shape! One thing you might also consider is probiotics. If the stomach flora is overtaken by bad bacteria, that will contribute to issues as well. I would get a good probiotic and take it for about two months. Then lay off for a month, then back on for a month. Then off for two and on for one. You get the idea. Organically.
Bad bacteria have recently been implicated in contributing and possibly causing some forms of autism. If you are interested in this subject, check out this link: http://youtu.be/0yn4SBNSkg4
Antibiotics and vaccines can destroy your natural gut bacteria. I am really interested in this aspect of health care and spend a fair bit of time researching and interviewing.
In the process of doing my research, I often visit many other “heart palpitations” sites. I ran into one site last week and registered. There are only 600 active members, but all of them are looking for solutions to their issues. Sadly, the guy who is administering the forum is a retired physician. I waded in and made a very innocuous comment suggesting there may be links to inflammation. Well, the physician TOTALLY CAME UNGLUED! He attacked me even thinking about solutions that were not in the mainstream. I tried to carry on a normal conversation with him, but every attempt was met with a personal attack that sounded like a drunkard who’d just had his last bottle of whiskey taken away. He was abusive and vile. I quickly realized that I was up against one of Big Pharma’s “demon seeds” in the field. Big Pharma likes to pay scientists and retired physicians to make sure that people never ever consider alternate therapies.
It’s so sad to think that there are business interests who would do this to people. Shame on them.
Hello again, Max,
Wow ! More subjects for discussion…OK here goes !
Bottled water : in addition to that mentioned in my mail, here’s another brand I use alternatively
WATTWILLER natural mineral water from the French region Les Vosges. pH a bit lower : 7.5
you mentioned Figi in the states which is very expensive and doubtful. The CRISTALINE water costs 0.34 cents euros and WATTWILLER is from 0.45 to 0.75 cents depending upon the store. These are prices for a 1.5 liter bottle.
CANOLA oil doesn’t exist here other than perhaps in embassy and American military stores. I have used nothing but high grade Italian olive oil for years wouldn’t touch any other.
Conerning antibiotics : I have taken them for periodic sinus and brochitis problems. However, was well aware that they destroy intestinal bacteria and always gulp down yogurt during treatment.
Max, you should know better Ha Ha ! Physicans and doctors in general, are extremely sensitive and vulnerable to the slightest criticism or suggestions relating to subjects that the majority of them have no knowledge of.
Been there, been thru that. My doctor, who I have consulted for the past 30 years who is younger than I am (who isn’t) and intelligent and I believe competent
annoyed ME so much one day, I stood up and glared at him and said, “YOU’RE FIRED” and stormed out of his office. It was because I had discovered a natural product called ARTERIN + Q 10 (a red rice yeast that is a natural source of lovastatin. I stopped taking prescribed Simvastatin for cholesterol which he didn’t approve of my doing. ANd he had never heard of Q 10. He then stated that plants are not a statin source, doesn’t exist…blah ..blah.
I said, “why not check it out yourself on your favorite site, dear and learn something new for a change. It would certainly improve our medical relationship a bit, maybe even to the point where I no longer have an overwhelming urge to punch you in the …..”
Eventually, Max, I would like your opinion on diuretics , i.e. water pills as the jargon goes.
When you have time nothing urgent.
OK will let you go. Thanks for your mails and hope to hear from you when you can. Best wishes SC
Wow.. a physician that is unaware of CoQ10!! You were right to fire him.
Dehydration can be a problem too. The body should be close to 70% water. When I had palps, my reading was 49%! All of the cells need water. You are essential one big hydro electric facility. Your mitochondria create the power. This is why b12 is so important. At the same time, I like the B Complex vitamins which are the world’s natural fluid balancing catalysts. Particularly, I like B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) and Folic Acid. If you have cholesterol concerns, this might be for you.
Are you aware that cholesterol is good for you? That cholesterol is NOT the problem they tell us that it is? Yes, you can reduce heart attacks by lowering cholesterol, but more importantly, you can achieve the same or better results by lowering homocysteine. They won’t tell you that because 200 mcgm. of folic acid every day will drop homocysteine to safe levels and that costs only $5 a month. They would much prefer you to be on their statin drugs at a cost of $90 a month! Plus, if you artificially lower cholesterol, then your body will manufacture it for you. Your brain needs it. Your joints need it. If you lower it, you’ll get arthritis. And, of course, they love that because then they get you on other drugs.
Well… nice chatting.. Off to work.
Hi Max
Since you are very strong the the inflammation vs cholesterol issue, I am sure that you are familiar with Dr. Dwight Lundell and his cholesterol scam site. I found it very interesting and convincing.
On the French site with, he is on first,same article translated to French, followed by other specialists and researchers, who go and on with the subject.
One particular guy, Dr. Michel de Logeril screams ” CHOLESTEROL IS GOOD FOR YOU” !!! He is a researcher for CNRS here. So I cannot deny that he knows what he’s talking about.
However his blogs…..Holy Shit ! The right hand side of the screen is rammed with his books. And in every other reply, he rattles on and ends up saying can’t give medical advice on line. If you want to know more, buy my book concerning….etc.
So you see Max, they are both either pushing books or products or both. I have a slight problem concerning their integrity. Would like to have your opinion on Dr. Lundell.
I fully agree with you as regards medication and the high cost in the U.S. For people who are not covered by medical insurance and complementary health coverage, it must be a nightmare. What do they do?
Michel Moore did an excellent documentary on the subject.You have probably seen it anyway
I am amazed by the high cost of medication in the U.S.
Example : Simvastatin, that I told you I had stopped taking – here,a month’s supply for 20mg tablets is 13 euros which is roughly in $14 to 16. Price probably depends on strength, I guess, however.. as you stated, 90 dollars a month is horrible. No wonder people there order on line from Canada or go there for medical care.I have also seen that people dish out 300 dollars a month for other drugs.
have noted daily dose of 200mcgm folic acid. I would ask : how long should it be taken since you said you take your supplements using an on and off basis. And, where can I buy it ? Pharmacy or health food store ?
OK, Max. Many thanks for you advice and info.
Best regards S.C.
Yes! Dr. Lundell has done thousands of surgeries. He know exactly what’s happening! He is very correct.
I must look up Dr. Michel de Logeril. I had not heard of him.
I wrote a book too, but the difference is that I have a very good and high paying IT job. It is my passion. Information technology. I also have a passion for research and Liberty! You’ll never see my pushing the books. That is just to help with the load of people that write to me. I try to respond to all of them. I am fortunate to live in Canada. Most health care is covered here. A woman can have a baby and be in hospital for a week and the bill will only be a few buck. Maybe $200 tops.
I take the folic acid every day. Have done for 20 years. I get mine at Walmart here. But it should be available at any health food store.
Must run for tonight. It’s 1 am here and I have to be up early tomorrow.
Nick.
Hey Max
I am really stupid folic acid is Vit B9 and I take brewers yeast tabs that cover all the B Vit family with the exception of B12 which take every 3 days apart.
OK Bye again S.C.
This is good. All you really need is 200 mcgm per day to do the trick.
Good day, Max
I am sure you have heard of Gayelord Hauser although you are much younger than I am.
Bought his book Look Younger, Live Longer (now out of print published 1951 Faber and Faber London) in 1960 and it is still a remarkable reference. This man was well ahead his time and heavily criticized by AMA, etc. at the time.
His bio can be read on Wikipedia site.
In the chapter concerning Diabetes and gangrene, he cites a Dr. Shute Canadian doctor, that cured an elderly patient whose heart was too weak to submit to amputation. He put him on massive doses of VIT E and
the patient healed, no more problem, in a week’s time.
Since massive doses given were not specified in the chapter, I researched on Google today.
I do this sort of thing all the time. One day its on one subject, next day another. Today, I entered Diabetic Gangrene and massive dose Vit E. Found a report concerning Dr Shute and the exact doses he had prescribe for diabetic gangrene patients!
Again went back and scrolled titles, saw : Vit E shows promise http://www.greenspun.com scrolled down article to part submitted by Gayle Eversole on Natural Healing. Got to paragraph “What to do” and found typical paragraph on type of foods to avoid, etc. Then, on to
preferred foods. ” prefer using olive oil (OK) and CANOLA oil.” Oh my, somebody better tell her if she’s still around the reservation.
OK enough. Best regards S.C.
Yes. Vitamin E is great stuff. Alpha Tocopherol. We used it as kids to quickly heal scars and scrapes we would get from rough play.
I am certain we will see a book written on the great Canola oil caper before long. I keep the stuff in my garage with other pesticides. It’s great for keeping bugs off my plants! Kills on contact.
The more I read the blog, the more I think it’s going to morph into a blog about health and wellness generally. Because the environment that leads to heart palpitations is the same environment that ultimately leads to many other diseases, including cancer, any talk of remedies to negate this environment ultimately have an impact on other health related issues.
For example, another product I am just raving about lately is called “Burt’s Bees Res-Q Ointment”. I had some around the house for a year but didn’t use it. Then about three months ago I noticed I was getting a couple of skin tags on my neck at the collar line. I don’t know why, but I put Burt’s Bees Res-Q ointment on them and covered them with a bit of breathable cloth tape. I booked an appointment with my doctor to have them burned off. When I went to my doctor, she pulled off the tape to have a look. She says, “What tags?” They were gone. Totally gone and the skin was smooth.
This is the stuff here: http://amzn.to/13r5fMD
I then began to wonder what else it would do. I began putting it on my neck line every day after my shower. At 58 years old, my skin at the neck line was beginning to show a few wrinkles. That too is now history!
And finally, I had this little “barnacle” on the inside of my right knee. It was a bit like a flat wart. My doc said it was just dry skin – the kind all old guys get! Them’s fighting words!! I started putting the Res-q on that patch and after a week it is now gone too. Smooth as a baby’s bum now.
I do not know why this works. I wish I had the time and the instruments to test and experiment. I only know it works.
Nick.
Thanks for replying, Max.
I thought Oh Oh you have gone too far off the subject and have probably exasperated him.
Anyway I looked up Bert’s Bee Res-Q and it mentions ingredients such as comfrey
Allantoin
Lavandin
Have to look up because sounds good. Just a remark maybe the collers of your shirts irritate your neck, especially if shirt material is modern synthetic i.e. anti-perspiration etc. Where do you buy your shirts ? Hope they weren’t imported from China !!! And your pants (problem behind your knee)
OK keep up the excellent work that you do it is greatly appreciated. regards SC
I only wear cotton. I wear a lot of open neck shirts. Never a tie or any of that. Ofen in shorts too. The issue was on the inside of the knee – between legs. but it’s gone now. I had a similar one on my forehead that I forgot to mention. It’s now gone too. My wife is using the stuff now too because she’s seen the difference. I’m ten years younger… so me getting any kind of “age advantage” on top of that is just NOT in the cards.
OK Max
You can give me a gold medal for stupid.
I finally got around to checking out CANOLA oil. Remember I said it didn’t exist on the market here. If so, in military base stores maybe.
CANOLA is our good old French COLZA. Around where I live, the colza fields are everywhere and quite beautiful in spring-summer.
It is a prime French oil. Everyone uses it. And now it seems, one can cook with it ! In addition, the “great health expert on everything,” Dr. michel de Logeril, states that olive oil is preferred, however colza is excellent, and soy not great, but ….
Oh my, here we go again, folks!
I think my little brain is going into over-kill. What hogwash ! Bye for now. S.C.
I thought fish oil is very good for you? I was told that fish oil tablets can stop heart palps. I still get palpitations, racing heart and missed beats. I am too afraid to go anywhere now!
I have had ecg’s and all that, all came back with good results? I might cut down the fish oil and see how it goes, i will give aloe vera a go also.
Man this sucks!!
Most fish oil comes from fish that have too much mercury in them. Use Astaxanthin as your source of fish oil. Also, use Sequel brand EFA Oil Blend. There is a link to it on Amazon on this site. And make sure it is not just aloe vera. Some people get confused and buy aloe juice. This is not the same thing as Aloe Gel! It must be Aloe Gel! I use Lilly of the Desert Brand Aloe Gel. Works like a charm. I know palps are bad. You feel like you are going to die all the time. You can beat it. But if your eating habits are acid western foods, then you won’t get rid if them. It all comes down to how badly you want them gone. When was the last time you drank a pop? You need to alkalize… or you’ll have to live with what you create.
Hey Rob,
Sorry I missed this earlier.. .but you could switch to “astaxanthin” which is the worlds most abundant source of natural antioxidant fish oil. It is not polluted as the deeper fish are. Google the stuff and you’ll see. You can even squeeze a capsule into your regular olive oil to make it last longer without going rancid.
Another great oil is made by Sequel. Called EFA Oil. This is not my site, but they have some good comments about it.
http://myvega.com/products/antioxidant-efa-oil-blend/faqs
Take care.
