Barbara, a Natural Health On The Web newsletter subscriber asks:

What supplements/vitamins can my brother-in-law use to help with Atrial Fibrillation?

Answer by Consumer Health Advocate, Frank Mangano


Atrial Fibrillation is one of the most common forms of an irregular heartbeat called cardiac arrhythmia. This condition is associated with the two upper chambers of the heart and can generally be discovered through simply taking your pulse. This can be a persistent if not permanent condition and risk goes with age. Over 12 million Americans may be experiencing Atrial Fibrillation but may not know it and over 10% of the population of 80 years old as well..

As you get older this condition can not only persist but it can worsen into a more serious cardiac function which can include cardiac arrest, palpitations, fainting, chest pains or congestive heart failure. Atrial Fibrillation can greatly increase the risk of death as you get older and can alternate between irregular beatings to normal functioning, which can make it hard for your health care professional to spot the problem immediately.

With Atrial Fibrillation being the leading cause of strokes, patients with Atrial Fibrillations are 2-7 times more likely to experience a stroke than people without this heart irregularity. Although decades have past and health care professionals are still trying to decipher the symptoms and diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation but there have been little improvements this way. With the different health risks and obvious increase risk of death through Atrial Fibrillation, it is time to turn towards the natural and herbal remedies to help control your Atrial Fibrillation, and there are many to choose from.

Several doctors and researchers from the University of Toronto took magnesium into their studies in regards to how it can treat Atrial Fibrillation. With magnesium taken intravenously, they found it was far more effective than placebos or antiarrhythmic drugs. This magnificent mineral as I like to call it can found through any natural health food store and one that can greatly help you manage and control your Atrial Fibrillation. Heart arrhythmias can be caused by a magnesium deficiency.

Vitamin C can actually reduce the risk of your Atrial Fibrillation reoccurring after undergoing electrical cardioversion. Reoccurrence of Atrial Fibrillation after this test can be due to the sudden electrophysiological changes in the heart chambers and Vitamin C has been proven to reduce this inflammation. A study done and published in the International Journal of Cardiology used 44 patients in a study to prove Vitamin C’s functions. With half the patients receiving a dose of 2 grams of Vitamin C before their test and 500mg twice a day for 7 days only one person (4%) experienced a relapse of Atrial Fibrillation and contrary, 8% of the patients who did not receive Vitamin C did as well. It's important to point out that your Vitamin C supplement should contain a Citrus Bioflavonoid complex, which aids in the absorption of Vitamin C. The diet can also be altered to include more Vitamin C rich foods such as oranges, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli and peppers.

Fish oil may also be beneficial because it reduces arrhythmias. According to experimental studies, the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids found within fish may hold antiarrhythmic properties.

These natural remedies are both affordable and include absolutely no health risks. One has to ask themselves if it's really necessary to risk the tests that are proving to only encourage the repeat of your Atrial Fibrillation. Enjoy the benefits of natural healing and be confident you are controlling Atrial Fibrillation without the use of further drugs and health risking tests.

I hope this information will help your brother-in-law. I wish him the very best of health.
