Atrial fib & Nutrition

Posted By Paul on August 04, 1999 at 11:50:26
Im curious, I have done a great deal of research over the past 2 years regarding Atrial Fib, I have found several clinical abstracts(& placebo controlled double blind studies) along with several board certifed cardiologists who are leaning more and more towards a nutritional approach at least in conjunction with traditional therapy.
A good example is intravenious Magnesium therapy, sometimes along with digoxin given at the onset of Atrial fib and other arrythmias symptoms I have found several Hospitals advocate such therapy.
I understand this thinking is not currently as mainstream as It could be.
I asked my Cardiologist to have an intracellular magnesium test done, He had no idea what I ws talking about!
As long as conventional treatment is not ignored, AND is done so under a physicians supervision what could possibly be the harm?
I am currently taking magnesium supplements along with Co-Q10 and hawthorn along with a good supplemental program.
I don't know if the supplements are helping yet but I FEEL better knowing that I am doing something to possibly alleviate my symptoms!!

I would like to hear from anyone with positive or negative results regarding nutrients and atrial fib!!
