Cardiac Case/Question

[Kevin]

I’m curious if there are any success stories out there for treatment of V-tach, post MI. My Dad has been having increased episodes of them. He is being recommended ablation as the medications haven’t done the trick. He has been hesitant to go on herbs, and in his mind ablation is the only option at this point. My current feeling on the ablation procedure isn’t exactly heart warming given the initial research forays (Yeah, I went there). Anyhow, I would love to hear any experiences good or bad. Mmmm, cinnamon.

Been treating tachycardia case recently. Pulse rate up to 175+ upon waking before herbs (with meds). Couldnt exercise at all without episodes. Pulses faint deep overall. Bilateral. Initial formula ZWT -BS +GZ12Improvement about 60%. Pulse changes to speedbump shape. Switch to TXS. 80-90% better.

He prefers ablation over trying herbs?!Pardon the language, but you can’t fix stupid.

We have so many options for treating this. Had fast and good results, depending on the pattern with GZRST, TXS, and last treating myself, after virus causing extreme vomiting and frying oesophagus and stomach opening, with GCXXT + GZRST.

Maybe ask if your dad knows people who have had ablation. No fun.

I agree, you can fix stupid, at least when it involves helping people see they are being misled. Oh do I want to rant about these so called success rates the doctors and big institutions quote.

Thanks boys. Hopefully that’s the missing link. I’ll give it a whirl and report back.

Any kind of surgical procedure is not reversible, full stop. So it is his choice, but once it is, done it’s done. But if his heart is set on it, then while he’s waiting what harm could a few bags of herbs do? The first person I treated post ablation had a constant feeling of caving in of the chest with a constant feeling of ‘cold knotting’ (their words), and still had occasional palpitations. I often teach the case as it is a good example of a GZGCT after damage to heart yang. Other patients I’ve seen since all seem to still have cardiac issues and symptoms, and also unsurprising weak heart yang from our perspective.Treatment wise tachycardia needs GZ, and very often FZ, at the root, and since I’ve been going higher on the GZ, up to 60, results are definitely better and faster. Ht/Kid is also often seen, and also there is often the need to build earth to hold yang (TXS+GZRST+FL type) or to build pericardium nutritive too (SQW+TXS type). But do make sure they are well harmonised and the stomach is open before going in with the heavy yang tonification, as if not this will exacerbate the tachycardia, and often opening the stomach and descending yang will start to calm it at the yang conformation stage (see GGQLT). Also I’ve often seen people who are being treated with yang tonifying treatments have bouts of tachycardia returning; this often goes with harmonising pretty quickly, it basically follows a very similar pattern to most yang restoring treatments.

Seriously. That and the recovery from these operations sounds pretty intense in its own right.

Most EPs- ElectroPhysiologists- are trigger happy with ablation procedures and will quote to the patients the “cure rates” from the various ablation procedures based on the specific condition, with numbers generally around the 95%-98% “cure rate”. But what they don’t tell you is what this actually means. Or why so many patients seem to need a second or third ablation procedure, which doesn’t seem to affect their near perfect “cure rate”. That’s because the “cure” is defined by the lack of pathological reactivity of the heart tissue during the procedure, just after they cauterize the heart muscle tissue. What happens the next day or the next month or next year after that doesn’t concern them or their “cure rate”. So don’t be misled. As far as I can tell most ablations are not curative and lead to more procedures.

[Kevin]

Well said. What they call a success or cure is quite stunning. Have you found any stats on the % of patients needing extra ablations?
