After having 9 cardio versions (shock treatment) in the past two years and at the age of 77, I decided to go for quality of life and forego all the drugs that I have taken over the past few years. I tried two ablations and a few drug protocols of which none worked. After all of that and the worry of

QOL …update on hemp derived delta-8 and thc-p gummies. ( all hemp derived products are federally legal nation wide ).
this is purely anecdotal and from direct personal experiences of myself and others I know. All strictly IMHO. That said ….. first, hemp products are not federally regulated and the government differentiates hemp from marijuana. Standing in 100s of acres of fields, 70 miles south of me , are 10’

What does it look like?
Hello all, My dad has CBD and is in the very late stages of this cruel illness. I am just wondering if anyone that has lost a loved one to this illness can give me some insight into their loved ones last days, hours of life. My dad's breathing can be strange. Sometimes it is really rapid, some times

Has anyone noticed a relationship between their cholesterol levels and severity/progression of their liver disease? I’ve read that as the liver gets worse, cholesterol levels drop (especially HDL cholesterol). If you have had this happen, were you on medication (statins) to lower your cholesterol at

CBD Oil
Hello all. Wondering if anyone has experience of CBD oil. Reading research in various journals suggest there’s a positive impact on reducing inflammation particularly for Crohn’s disease; albeit based on limited research having been undertaken. Anyone have any experience of impact of CBD and

72 hrs Post Ablation
Good morning,n' You will see from my profile that I have not had a gret time getting to see an NHS cardiologist and have been in persistent AF for over a year (18 months nearly) with GPs not understanding.

Newly diagnosed; so scared, confused, and depressed
The doctor doesn't want to refer me to a kidney doctor at this point and doesn't feel any medications are necessary -- for the cholesterol, PD, or
CKD
. Please help me. I'm really, really struggling.

Another Diet Question
I've looked through various websites about
CKD
diets, looked at various recipes and the whys and why nots of what you should and shouldn't eat. For those of you who live with other family members, how do you balance your special
CKD
diet with their diet.
