Uh, , Rense.com is not exactly an authoritative source, ranking

somewhat below The National Inquirer and other similar bastions of

journalistic integrity. For an example, here's another typical

article from Rense.com:

Sorry, the link to Rense.com isn't working too well unless you cut

and paste:

http://www.metatech.org/Tiny%20Humanoid%20Creature%20Found%20In%

20Chile.htm

But if you do a Google search on " Rense " and click on this search

result:

Tiny Humanoid Creature Found In Chile

you'll get the general idea of why Rense.com is not too highly

regarded. Thus, their " interview " with a drug company executive has

zero credibility, IMHO.

I do not know about the validity of the story . for now i take your

observation at face value.

scrap the link

this really isn't that surprising or alarming.. Anti-arrythmics are only

touted as being 50% affective against us afibbers.. that means in 50% of us they

don't work. And for anyone with arthritis... you know that you sometimes have

to go through a bunch of different anti-inflamatories before you find one that

works.

Cardizem didn't do anything to keep me out of afib, but Tikosyn does....

Tylenol doesn't get rid of my headaches, but aspirin does. I took Viox for some

arthritis pain and it didn't do squat, but my husbands grandfather thought it

was a miracle drug for his own arthritis pain. my mother is willing to risk the

heart attack in order to keep taking celebrex, since viox didn't work for her

either... ... and on and on...

it's a bummer when the drug you really NEED to work doesn't, though... or

when it's the only drug for a particular ailment, but that fact that so many

don't work really isn't surprising.

Happy to report that after 1.5 years on Tikosyn and dozens of

breakthrough episodes, I am now afib free for three weeks on Tambocor.

Maybe I found the drug that works for me, at least for awhile. Getting

closer to trusting it, anyway. Happy New Year! Sandy, NC
