Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) No longer! See how I got rid of my AFib. Worth a try.

If you have Atrial Fibrillation, check this out! I've been on the keto diet and I really love it but it seems my electrolytes got off and my heart beat was thrown off. These tags almost instantly made me normal.

A magnesium supplement and proper hydration did it for me. And all my cardiologist wanted to do was pump me full of drugs. Never mentioned better nutrition, magnesium or hydration. I fired my cardiologist and told her why. You have to be an advocate for yourself.

I am a 79 year old (in 2 weeks) retired ER physician and I am a rabid advocate of the health benefits of cycling. It truly works miracles and as an example I can still do 4 minute 19 second on the USAA Cycling 5 minute TT (a 4% average upgrade at 6300 foot elevation in Colorado Springs). I weigh low 170 pounds. I can't believe how good I still feel thanks to cycling BUT one area doctors never discuss (and this is huge) is alcohol and the heart. Alcohol is a potent cardiomyotoxin (meaning it is toxic to the heart muscle and causes heart muscle inflammation) but this is dose related. When I was in training I had a 23 year old die from his excessive alcohol intake causing congestive heart failure. In the ER I would see young people come in with an arrhythmia over the holidays due to excessive alcohol (thus the title "Holiday Heart"). As one gets older the risk of Atrial Fibrillation goes up logarithmically and AF can be exercise induced. AF causation is multifactorial and these precipitators make it much more likely during a ride: dehydration, low potassium, hypothermia (even drinking a smoothie can bring it on!), lack of sleep, too much caffeine, thyroid excess, and others. But no one ever seems to bring up the subject of excessive alcohol prior and the risk of AF. I love a nice red wine and this leaves me conflicted but I have found that half a bottle 2-3 days a week seems to not precipitate AF so one does not need to totally do without. My take home message to all us geriatric cycling advocates is keep all those precipitators to a minimum including alcohol and you can continue to partake of the Fountain of Youth and not need what most doctors would recommend: blood thinners or cardiac ablation!
Also, watch your heart monitor (Garmin or whatever) like a hawk and when your rate starts getting in the upper ranges just back off to keep it out of trouble. Very high rate from exertion can bring on AF. AND be sure you are not overweight because any fatty tissue on your body gives off inflammatory cytokines (signaling molecules) which leave you in a chronically inflammed state prone to AF (and cancer).

Doctors are like car mechanics these days. Finding a trustworthy Doctor is super rare, I am glad you found yours. Just listen to your body.

[lincolntrewethey]

This morning, I went into AFib. First time in weeks. It was paroxysmal. It started and stopped a few times. For the first time, I took 450 mg magnesium Malate and 1 tsp of sea salt. Within 60 seconds, my heart rate settled. Been fine for 7 hours now. I wonder why your video showed up in my feed. Glad it did. Thanks. Good luck with it.

[daniek]

THANK Had an episode for 4 days. Had some electrolyte powder in my pantry. It has been 30 mins and my heart rate dropped from 137 to 87 and I can't feel it pounding out of my chest anymore AND it is balancing out. Getting my energy back. Can't wait to see how I feel later today. Thank you so very much!! I was not about to go for another 3 day stay at the hospital again.

[debbiestephens]

I’ve had a fib about 20 years, drugs and ablation. The doctors said not to take potassium etc. So I didn’t, they wanted to do another ablation. I’m done with them. I started myself on GNC POTASSIUM & MAGNESIUM ASPARTATE. 2x@ day. Stoped all the drugs except Flecainide, cut that in half. No a fib in months. I’ll soon quit all drugs. Wish I did this years ago.

[billowen]

I have Atrial Flutter. I tried the Nuun. It works. I test myself with a ECG on my Samsung Watch 4. No Atrial Flutter. Went to see my Electrophysiologist and did an EKG and again, no Atrial Flutter. I can't say enough good things about this video.

[janetjacobsen]

I take coconut water and a magnesium tablet and that seems to help too. I also gave up coffee and tea as they are not hydrating. Thank you for your video, it helped confirm my own experience.

[trutwin]

This did work for me. I didn't believe it would but it did. As soon as I ran out of it the palpitations came back so it's not a complete cure but as long as I take them there's no palpitations. This vid is golden.

[superchick]

Wow! What a game This morning, my heart raced and I was worried until I did what u told me to do and booom, it worked, my heart rate went back to normal! Thanks bro. I will always be hydrated now with electrolytes!!! I can't thank u enough

Hi Jeff

My friend Steve had a 5h ablation procedure in Bordeaux in France beginning of Oct 21 to get rid of his atrial fibrilation. It worked for 2 weeks and unfortunately, his heart went back into AF after 2 weeks. Heart beating at 150/mn. On Monday 8 november 21, he watched your video, went to Decathlon to buy ELECTROLYTES, he took one tablet ....and miracle, he felt a great feeling immediatelt and within one hour his heart went back to normal at 60/mn. It has been 6 days now ... he still takes betablockers though on the advice of his cardiologist

We informed the cardiologist immediately.

Steve is so grateful to have solved this, at least for now. We are very grateful to you and lucky to have come across your video. There must be a link with magnesium and potassium to fix atrial fibrilation, at least post surgery on his case.

Thank you again Jeff

Steve 👍👍👍😇😇😇😇

Hey Jeff, thank you for posting this video . I have chronic a fib and had an ablation, several of them last August . My heart was a mess . It took four months for my heart to calm down. I started the keto diet 2 1/2 weeks ago, which I really like, and then last week after three months of no episodes Bam I had an episode and like you, it scared me . I also have lymphedema, so have to be very careful with sodium . I tried the NUUN. Wow! What a difference . I feel so much better . I talked to my cardiologist about it yesterday and he said "whatever you doing keep doing it". Anyway I hope between keto, ( which by the way has real promise for helping lymphedema) electrolytes and determination. When I go in three months from now to discuss the amiodarone I'm on, horrible drug, and getting me off of it. I won't have to have another ablation . Again, thanks Jeff, glad I found this video, take care . Edna

[oypywoq]

Jeff-This is too good to be true. I've had 5 cardioversions and finally an ablation that worked...until I decided to pick up the booze again..the "morning after" I end up with Tachycardia and today AFIB. First thing on my "to do" list today will be to pick up some electrolyte tablets and hope I'm as lucky as you. Will Keep you posted. Thanks

Acid overproduction is the main cause in most cases, caused by overeating, fat, spicy food, alcohol, and coffee. Acid causes spasms of the esophagus and the stomach. Drinking water with any tablet means that the water dilutes the acid, so you may feel better, and the aFib may even go away. For decades I have had aFib, lasting weeks sometimes. ER visits, unable to walk 10 feet without resting, etc. Stopped PPI, metoprolol, blood thinner, and feel almost perfect when I avoid the things mentioned above.

[Eyes-of-Horus]

The Afib I have was caused by medical incompetence at the VA. They are so far behind what's going on it is pathetic. I met a doctor who interned at the VA and he said they are more than 30 years behind. So, you can understand why I'm a bit skeptical about talking to anyone there. Their approach is drugs, drugs, drugs. As I've been saying for the longest time, the VA is the drug companies' dream. They buy drugs by the boatload and that is why they are so free with them. Besides that, a doctor that I had (now retired) at the VA told me that the pharmacy controls the VA healthcare.

Thanks for your suggestion. I sit here with my heart bouncing around. It started at 5 AM just as I was going to go out and exercise as I do most mornings and I'm pretty sure that it will be going on for over 12 hours. At least it's not like it was when It began. I was out of sorts for at least a whole day. What helped to control it wasn't Metoprolol. That crap made it worse. I began using Dr. Stephen Sinatra's protocol. I dumped the Metoprolol for d-ribose. You may check it out.

Thank you for sharing your experience through this video.
I have been diagnosed with svt, and now with afib. The whole thing, as you all know, it is very disconcerting when an episode is happening. My doctor has tried a few medication combinations and it may work for a week to a month and then I revert right back into having daily episodes lasting an hour or up to 7-8 hours. I have desperately been searching Google and YouTube on how to stop an afib episode... and here it is in a 2 minute and 59 second video. I bought the last bottle of Nuun at my Walmart, came home and put one in my water. It has been 19 days now and I have had a flip flop here and there, but nothing like before. This past Sunday evening I was having repeated flip flops in my chest. I made a fresh glass of water put a tablet in and after it dissolved took 5 or 6 big swigs and within 10 minutes the flip flops were gone.
I've tried magnesium, drinking lots of water, putting my face in ice water... all to no avail.
This worked for me. I hope more people try it and tell of their experiences- good or bad. But I do hope it helps.

I wish it were this simple. Electrolytes - especially magnesium and potassium - can play a huge role, but there are many others, and there is no silver bullet. The closest one there is, however, is weight loss for those with afib who classify as obese. Dropping those lbs will lower blood pressure and reduce the severity of sleep apnea - the two biggest causes of afib.

[shahabjamal]

Wow Jeff, God bless you man .
I didn’t have NUUN but I had just another electrolyte dissolve in water tablet and boom, the rythm was back to normal . Thankyou soo much .
You are a superman ❤

[Thehunter]

Thank y you for posting this video! I had the cardioversion procedure done twice and a year later had the ablation procedure completed. I was prescribed various drugs throughout and still suffered from extreme fatigue and exhaustion for years due to reoccurring Afib. Found this video and went right out and bought the NUUN tabs, some magnesium powder and an amino acid supplement with electrolytes and magnesium, the results were amazing, I have never felt better. Proper balance of electrolytes and magnesium were never mentioned by my cardiologists, electrophysiologist or any of the various medical professionals I dealt with for years. BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE!

[peterazlac]

The important electrolyte for AF is magnesium which needs to be balanced with potassium. Over 40% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. The source matters with magnesium glycinate or taurate good ones and the magnesium oxide sold in food stores not so good.
