Heads up warning--scare monger!

Please be aware, everybody that RVV presented some material on these various postings that is inaccurate. He has a history of doing this on other "heart" sites, and speaks as if he's a physician, but he has minimal medical knowledge. Be aware that he comes from a "scare monger" site, and tends to present worst case scenarios that may not be applicable to everybody. Don't get scared by misinformation from somebody who has no medical knowledge. Trust your doctors, and use common sense--if the person is scaring you, and is not a doctor, that means the information is slanted in a particular way.


I write this, as this is a very close knit community here, where everybody is extremely supportive of everybody else. I really do not want to see any of my friends, or fellow beat-skippers scared out of their wits by someone who is NOT a professional in the field. He sounds impressive, but remember, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! Heed what common sense and your doctors tells you. If someone promises to help get rid of PVCs, they are lying, as that can't easily be done. If they are likewise, trying to scare you--they are not medical professionals, as doctors know how to deal with benign ectopic beats.

Hi David -
I was just going to post a warning about RVV too. Stay away from reading his/her posts especially if there is some type of information he/she says is backed by research and then posts the links.

If you don't find him/her supportive then just stay away. Trust your doctors....enough said.

At one point on another board - I remember actually reading where he was trying to almost prove that there was something more wrong with him and that PVCs were caused my something dangerous. Why would you want to believe that!? Plus I think that referencing a study where there were only 50 ppl in it is hardly a world study. It definitely wasn't a great start to my morning to read his posts and made me nervous thinking that perhaps Drs could not see that other things could be wrong....which is already a fear we have

Heads up--RVV is posting in a hostile manner on another thread. I think he's playing troll here. Just wanted to send out a warning to all.
