I just love this time of the year! The food, the drink and the long days partying with friends and family are so much fun! But for some of us, the end of the day brings about an event that feels like a heart attack.

Just ask any emergency room doctor at this time of the year. The number of admissions for “heart issues” increases dramatically. Most of the time, however, the patient is sent home after a series of tests. The doctor will tell you that you are fine. He’ll tell you to stay away from caffeine and alcohol. He’ll advise you to get some exercise and see your regular doctor. Most of the time, this advice is strictly “textbook” and also pretty much useless.

You felt like you were dying. You had a heart rate nearing 180 beats per minute. You felt as though you were going to pass out. You had some really heavy beats, followed by a series of shallow beats. Your heart was behaving like a sputtering car engine. You will have experienced what it is like to fill your bladder every fifteen minutes! You have no idea what caused the problem, but you do sense that your life is in jeopardy. More than anything, you want it to never happen again!

I am here to tell you that I did find a way to master this beast! I’ve read so many reports on blogs and newsgroups around the world about people who suffer from this affliction. It is important to note here that there are a couple of things that can trigger these attacks. One is related to physical defects – such as a prolapsed mitral valve or scarred purkinje fibers. If this is your reason for suffering heart palpitations, then sadly this report is not for you.

If you are one of the large number who suffer heart palpitations as result of digestive inflammation, then you have come to the right place. It took me seven years to finally determine what was causing my palpitations. As far as I was concerned, it was a heat attack! I knew one thing for sure. Either this beast had to go – or I had to go!

As a professional researcher, I worked day and night to find the risk factors and similarities in diet and lifestyle among as many palpitation sufferers as I could find. I joined dozens of blogs and discussion groups dedicated to nothing more than talking about heart palpitations. I was fortunate enough to get a lot of cooperation from people looking for answers. After seven years, I was able to test my hypothesis. What you are going to learn next, dozens of people all over the world have successfully put into practice in their own lives.

Among those I’ve shared this protocol with are a student in Egypt, an airline engineer in France, an Ultimate Fighter in the USA, a computer programmer in South Africa, a National Hockey League player and many ordinary citizens like you and me. One of the things that happens when you suffer from heart palpitations is that you begin to become afraid to go outside of the house. You are afraid of having an attack in public.

The good news is that you don’t have to give up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol or many of the other little treats we like so much! I call my formula the “Jeffries Protocol”, and while it is available on my site, I want to share the essentials with you here: If you suffer palpitations, then we are brothers.

Concisely, here is my formula:
Inflammation is not something that just happens in our joints. Internal inflammation affects our soft tissues that bind and hold our organs and nerves in place. Inflammation is ubiquitous in those who suffer from palpitations. Certain foods contribute to increasing inflammation and other foods cause inflammation to wane.

I purchase a gallon of Aloe Gel. I was careful not to confuse this with aloe juice as so many people do. They are completely different. I mixed one ounce of gel with my favorite juice twice per day. I made sure to consume one of those ounces right after dinner at night.

I cut out all fish oil supplements. I stopped eating fish all together. I get my omega oils from flax oil. I stopped consuming refined sugar. I use Turmeric spice and put it on everything that I can – like salads and soups and any meat dishes. I take a magnesium supplement. I take a potassium supplement. I eat three bananas per week. If you can, have your mercury fillings taken out and replaced with white ones.
When I go to bed at night, I start out on my back. I do not turn onto either side, especially my left side, until after about 2 hours have passed.

I never miss breakfast! I try to have Quaker oatmeal with blueberries or bananas and Agave syrup for sweetener. I use Agave syrup as sweetener to replace all sugar that I would normally use. If you want to know the science behind this protocol, or if you want to know more about palpitations or related anxiety attacks, there is plenty of research on the subject.

To be in compliance with new Federal Trade rules I must remind you that while this protocol is my personal protocol and worked for me, you should not expect to gain the same benefit if you try to copy it. At the same time, my friends with the FDA will be pleased to know that this protocol has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any illness or medical condition.

Having said that, I wish you all a health and happy 2010! My sincerest wish is that you all experience a full and healthy life.
