Atrial Fibrillation

I'm trying Dr. Rath's vitamins for cellular health to control atrial fibrillation along with Mega CoQ10.  Could this combination possibly stop my episodes of a-fib?  My doctor has mentioned rythmol and sotolol but I'd prefer something natural without side effects.  Please comment.

Dr. Rath, M.D., was director of Cardiovascular research at the Linus Pauling Institute in California. During his tenure he collaborated with Linus Pauling, a Nobel prize winner. I have read his research material, and what he writes about seems to make a good deal of sense.

I am not trying to sell his cellular health program, however there are substantial reputable studies regarding the use of antioxidents and coQ10 in a variety of cardiac conditions.

Atrial fibrillation has several etiologies, and I am not prepared to defend a particuliar regimen of supplements, however on the other hand there are no contraindications to taking these supplements or following Dr. Rath's cellular health plan.

Hi,
I have never used these vitamins/antioxidants/supplements in my patients of atrial fibrillation and there’s no evidence to support their use in atrial fibrillation and hence I don’t think they’ll be able to help you and my sincere suggestion is to follow your doctors’ advice and not to ingest these vitamins for there’s no scientific back up to support they can play any role in preventing the episodes of Atrial fibrillation.
I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted.
Kind regards.
