Books you have read on your "Haywire Heart"

14 Replies

Just a wondering which books have been read by the group that they feel may have been relevant to our situation, diet, fitness, lifestyle, spiritual, whatever!!

The Haywire Heart by Case, Mandrola and Zinn then Maffetone Method by Phillip Maffetone and Better Movement by Todd Hargrove, would be three that I have taken note of since being diagnosed.

Thanks Kaz, liking the way that this is becoming a list and not a review. I googled the titles and then reasoned whether I wanted to read more.

'Beat your AFib' by Steve Ryan. Bought in the early days before finding this site, he talks about 'total' cures following ablation, quite outrageous really.

The Fourth Phase of Water by Prof G Pollack.

It may not sound relevant, and it was hard going in places, but it was a revelation to me and has helped me and many others I know to understand the role of water in our body.

Sounds intriguing. I have ordered a copy.

Be prepared for a few surprises as you read the first few chapters.

It gets a bit "denser" are you progress but is still readable if you jump the odd bits you can't understand.

I currently make my own "structured water" and it has helped a lot of people - especially my son (40) who now says that his life has changed thanks to this water and he would not be without it as it gives him so much energy.

And how do you make it I wonder? We have a water filter but I guess that isn't enough! When exploring, I came across a cumbersome contraption that an American company was selling but nothing here in the UK.

I filter 7 litres of water to take out the nasties and then cool it in the fridge to 3 degrees.

I have a 7 litre jar with a big opening at the top so I fill that and position a lamp with blue, green, red and near-infrared LEDs above it. I put a mirror under the jar to reflect the light back up.

I let the light do its job for half an hour and then put the water into smaller containers and I put them in the freezer.

I then take them out as needed and drink the water as it thaws.

Two litres a day is enough for me.

An alternative that produces structured water (but not at the strength I can make with the help of the lights) is to filter the water, freeze it and then take some out of the freezer and drink it as it thaws.

Suck an ice cube for a release of the energy in the water.

To turn to ice the water has to undergo a change in structure and it retains this structure for some time after it thaws. It changes from H20 to H3O2 and this makes it a hexagonal structure.

It is thought that the health and longevity of the Hunza people has a lot to do with the fact that they drink glacial melt water.

Google Hunza if you haven't already heard of them.

If you need any more info just let me know.

Regards,

George

Thanks a lot- shall see what I can do and get back to you. Will make a start by keeping my filtered water in the fridge before use!

in reply tophilologus

And freeze some too! Does it really work at preventing episodes of AF for you?

I can't say for certain that it stops or prevents AF or anything else as I have no definite proof.

Your heart is not powerfull enough to pump all your blood round your body. This means that it has to get some help from somewhere.

A single cell contains structured water round the nucleus and the mitochondria and proteins in general ( H3O2) and "bulk" (ordinary) water (H2O). One is positive and the other is negatively charged. This, in effect, makes it a battery with potential energy.

It is this energy that helps the blood to get round.

My reasoning is that if I can ensure that I enhance this by drinking structured water then my heart will have a "helper".

Here's a link to a video by Prof Pollack that may help you to understand the idea.
