Dear Group,

A few months back when I restarted the protocol after many years, I began with store bought organic cottage cheese with flax oil that was pressed about a year before.? I couldn't find fresh oil.?
I now make my own kefir cheese and I found a farmer not too far from me that pressess his own flax.? I get it a few days after the pressing so the oil is fresher than any store bought oil.
I found with the store bought organic cottage cheese, I was experiencing heart palpitations.? It went away after I began using my own kefir cheese.? However, the heart palpitations are back.
Anyone ever experience heart palpiations while on Budwig?? If so, how did you remedy the symptom?
Thanks
Alex.

Hi, Alex!
I am using/following along with the FOCC with my husband, since January 2020. He has cancer; to my knowledge, I do not. I am definitely post menopausal.?
I will share my experience with palpitations, and what I do for them.?
I had had palpitations before FOCC, and used hawthorn berry capsules to great effect. I don't recall when or why, but at some point early 2021 (best guess) I dropped them out, and forgot about it. (It's also possible it happened late last summer, when I got the virus. Was off FOCC for maybe 2-3 weeks, and most other supplements during that time. Memory not so reliable since.) Until the palpitations started again.?
I am back on hawthorn berry capsules. I do have homemade tincture on hand as well. (I keep it on hand should I run out of capsules.) Since it is a herb, there shouldn't interfere with the FOCC. I take 3 capsules per day.?
Hope this helps!

Hi Alex

I spent several years on a pension suffering with inoperable blockages to my arteries. Something about the locations made it too dangerous to stent or bypass apparently. Eventually I was able to have a triple bypass and all is fine now.

My symptoms ranged from acute angina to massive fatigue to palpitations. I had to wear a patch plus use the spray often but they were diminishing in effectiveness.

Sorry for the long setup but I did find a solution.
Whenever the symptoms hit I would stop, totally relax my body - using slow gentle movements akin to the Feldenkrais method , look up (NLP eye patterns), deliberately smile, while going to my happy relaxed place in my mind and MOST IMPORTANTLY - control my breathing by doing reasonably full breaths with the out breath being two to three times longer than the in breath.

This worked WAY better than any of the medication for me. Apparently when you breath out it kicks in the parasympathetic nervous system.

The Feldenkrais type movements consisted of gently rotating my torso right and left in a spiral type motion. Aiming to get flexion through the torso. Slow gentle movements always relax muscles. Important to get the skeleton fully involved. I think though the breathing was the main component.

If you would like any more info please feel free to contact me. FYI I am an NLP Master Trainer and a Feldenkrais Practitioner.

I also developed a simple system for relieving pain without drugs if anyone is interested.

Sorry for the long post. I hope you find this useful.

All the best.

Hi Frances, Peter and Paulee
Thanks for the replies.
I'll consider hawthorn berry capsules if magenesium capsules don't do the trick.? It came to me late last night that I'm consuming a lot of calcium in the kefir cheese and that there needs to be a ballance between calcium and magnesium.? Maybe, that's why Johanna Budwig strongly suggested a salad for lunch.? I don't consume many salads.? I find the FOCC very filling.? Greens contain a good amount of magnesium.? I took a 500 mg. capsule of Magnesium Malate about an hour before bed and the palpitations were far less frequent and weaker.? Immediately after my morning FOCC, the palpitations returned, although less frequent and weaker than before.?
About? histamine, I've never had a problem before.? I'll do some research on it.?
Peter thanks for suggesting body relaxation techniques.? I'll research Feldenkrais movements.
