'ASTONISHING" RISE IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

The number of Brits suffering from atrial fibrillation has risen by 50% in a decade. One person in 45 in the UK now lives with the increased risk of a stroke caused by this condition. And the British Heart Foundation's Professor Sir Nilesh Samani finds that "quite astonishing". 

The learned professor thinks it's due to "better recognition and diagnosis". Excellent. So as it surely can't be only atrial fibrillation which improved diagnosis has made so much more recognisable, we can all confidently expect a 50% higher profile in many other diseases. 

It's like the public health nurse who assured a reader of this blog that her husband's atrial fibrillation (AF for short) "has nothing to do with the jab".  She and the good professor have their health professional blinkers on and what's more, they're looking at this issue in the dark. One's Hindu and the other's lapsed Catholic. They lack the light of Christ. 

The number of people diagnosed with a heart rhythm condition that puts them at increased risk of a stroke has now passed 1.5m for the first time.

The number of people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation has increased from 1m in 2013 – a 50 per cent rise in the space of a decade. The new total means that 1 in 45 people in the UK are known to be living with the condition.

Someone with atrial fibrillation is five times more likely to have a potentially fatal or life-changing stroke. Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of abnormal heart rhythm and is believed to contribute to one in five strokes. 

Better recognition and diagnosis of the condition is likely to be the key factor behind the rise in the number of people known to have atrial fibrillation.

Tell that to the Marines. 

However, it is estimated that there are at least another 270,000 people in the UK who remain undiagnosed and unaware. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) says that further research is needed to find new ways to identify people who are at risk of atrial fibrillation so they can be diagnosed earlier.

Perhaps ask them if they're jabbed. And how often they were jabbed. 

The most common symptoms of atrial fibrillation are palpitations, breathlessness, and dizziness. However, many people do not experience any symptoms meaning that they are unaware of the condition and treatments, as well as their increased risk of stroke. AF can also be intermittent, increasing the challenge of identifying those who have it. 

Hidden threat

 

Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, who's quite astonished

BHF medical director Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, Medical Director, said: “These figures show a quite astonishing rise in the number of people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.   
“Research has helped us understand the links between atrial fibrillation and stroke and that has spurred the efforts we have seen in recent years to identify people with this potentially dangerous heart rhythm. 

“What remains troubling is the sheer number of people who are undiagnosed and unaware that they are living with a heightened risk of stroke. Finding people with this hidden threat must remain a priority. 

“We also need to continue to harness the power of science to develop new and innovative tools for identifying people at increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation so we can try and prevent the condition developing or at least identify people earlier if they develop it, as there are effective treatments available to reduce their risk.”

Maybe dish out blood thinners with the jab. You know, to stop those pesky clots.

Mahatma Ghandi isn't often wheeled out as opposition to the jab, but he wrote strongly against it. Of course, he like Professor Sir Nilesh Samani was a Hindu but likely more enlightened on spiritual matters, as he indicates in the following: 

I cannot also help feeling that v*ccin*tion is a violation of the dictates of religion and morality. The drinking of the blood of even dead animals is looked upon with horror even by habitual meat-eaters. Yet, what is v*ccin*tion but the taking in of the poisoned blood of an innocent living animal? Better far were it for God-fearing men that they should a thousand times become the victims of small-pox and even die a terrible death than that they should be guilty of such an act of sacrilege.

The fact of the matter is that it is only the self-interest of doctors that stands in the way of the abolition of this inhuman practice, for the fear of losing the large incomes that they at present derive from this source blinds them to the countless evils which it brings.

Google is very coy when it comes to doctors' payments for administering v*ccines. They may not be large but they surely don't do them for nothing. And incidentally, for anyone dallying with the idea of voting for ACT, they have a policy on jab certificates: "Amend the Health and Safety at Work Act to expressly allow for businesses to put in place safety measures, such as requiring v*ccine certificates or a negative COVID-19 test to limit the spread of COVID-19."

There are, however a few doctors who recognise these evils, and who are determined opponents of v*ccin*tion.

Those who are conscientious objectors to v*ccin*tion should, of course, have the courage to face all penalties or persecutions to which they may be subjected by law, and stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defence of their conviction.”
