My PVC CURE posting was pulled off here

[pvcguy]

I posted a CURE for my PVC which was taken off this website. Was it because I was critical of Big Pharma for not even being interested about my discovery when I told them about it? Who is REALLY running this website and what's on "their" agenda???

p.s., Thought of something else.  This is from the standpoint of assuming a single compound can cure all PVCs, and this compound should fall under the governance of pharmaceutical regulation.

There are many different etiologies for PVCs, ergo there are many different root causes and these are diverse.  One would have to treat these root causes to cure PVCs, therefore it is going to be impossible to have a single compound (medication) that will be a cure all.

PVCs can be caused by Reentry, Triggered Sites (monomorphic), or Enhanced automaticity.  These are all very different causes.  Enhanced automaticity, for example, can be made worse by drugs, endocrine issues, stress....  or they are just occurring for no reason at all, the pacers are polymorphic and hyper. How do you find out if it's Endocrine related, and how would you find out how to treat the underlying endocrine issue?  Or would you take a different approach and try to dull the the enhanced automaticity?

reenrtry and monomorphic PVCs are treated with surgery (ablation), these are structural causes.  To treat these with a compound, the drug would affect all the bodies cells, so the side effects are going to be there.  It's like treating cancer with chemo, the chemo doesn't just hurt the cancer, it affects everything.  Sometimes chemo can actually cause other primary cancers.

I've struggled over the years why there isn't more research being done to treat these.  I've learned some of the lessons above, when I step back and look at all these issues I can understand why it's a very difficult.  Couple that with the folks I  know that have terminal cancer, or end-stage heart failure, someone with benign PVCs isn't going to get much sympathy.

I'm curious, what helped you and why do you think it should be marketed as a pharmaceutical compound?  

Thanks for listening

Not sure what happened there, I looked under your profile and you have 5 posts and some conversations about Krill Oil and shrimp helping you.

I really doubt your Big Pharma theory, I can assure you there is no connection there.  

Big Pharma has absolutely no answers for run of the mill PVCs, so you would NOT be stepping on their toes. If you found a natural cure, why would you want to have Big Pharma get involved?

They've only got BP meds or class III antiarrhythymics in their tool kit, BP meds are usually ineffective and prescribing antiarrhythmics would be flat out unethical for benign PVCs.  So what are we left with?  nothing but natural cures.  Doctors only start prescribing when patients insist.

People are posting alternative fix-it methods all the time, including myself.  One thing I've learned though is that what works for some doesn't work for others.  I've heard the Maalox theory, the fish oil theory, the magnesium theory, the snot theory (I'm not kidding), the Zinc theory, the potassium theory.....

Keep in mind, to stop PVCs you might be toning down the ventricular backup pacers, so that might mean you diminish an important backup feature of the heart.

I don't have an answer for those questions. Maybe because you were trying to 'play doctor' with what you wrote??? I can tell you that the only true way to get rid of PVCs/PACs is to get rid of your heart. The reason for those extra beats is because all of the cells of the heart have the ability to 'fire' off inpulses; God designed the heart that way so that the normal SA and AV Nodes would have a back-up system for beating. So realistically it would be impossible for you to actually get rid of the premature beats. Sometimes people will have an increase in premature beats due to chemical imbalances in the body; once those chemicals have been corrected, the premature beats decrease in number. We all have premature beats everyday, most of us aren't even aware of it. The more you worry about the worse it gets and the more were are aware of what's going on due to the spilling of catecholamines into the bloodstream.
