Vitamin C as a treatment for AF

How much vitamin C are you taking?

[@MAPrice-fv5uc]

Sudden changes in position, sleeping on left side, esophageal irritation (eating too late, eating too much), alcohol--even half a beer or half glass of wine, were some of my triggers. I recommend "pill in a pocket" to end episodes.

[@MAPrice-fv5uc]

I use 750/mag glycinate and 500/vit C. I also take 100 mg of flecainide and 12.5 of metoprolol an hour before bedtime since my episodes typically start just as I am falling asleep. They are much less frequent now with the supplements.

[@VoboghureSajib]

My personal observation is, if you educate patients it will always result in better treatment because patients can explain better about their symptoms and take better care of themselves and it makes doctors' life a bit easier. One very common example can be most of the patient doesn't even understand the difference between chest pain related to the heart issue and confuse it with gas or acidity related pains.. so doctors need to go through a series of tests and find out the actual problem.. sometimes people get traumatized with very simple health issue whereas some times they just ignore very serious issue and end up in ER at the eleventh hour. Doctors should reduce the gap between patients and them. The way you explain things and communicates is definitely praiseworthy that many doctors do not do. Respect and best wishes to you. If I can help you in any way with your noble journey, please let me know.

LOL, good luck with that. I'm thrilled you're so open minded, but my experience with Dr's, nurses and others is they will simply hear "Vitamin" and reject it. Especially nurses.

Her response was to ignore this and say, "well, Im a nurse, so. . ." as if that ended the conversation, lol.

I developed AFIB after taking the J&J Covid vaccine. It got so bad I had a heart ablation 4 months ago. It seemed to work, but the fib returned a few weeks ago, and much worse. My cardiologist suggested another heart ablation - so I scheduled it and had another two days ago. Three days prior to the 2nd heart ablation, I started taking vitamin C and the AFIB subsided completely. I thought about cancelling the second ablation, but the idea of it coming back again was frightening. Today I see this video and I am convinced that I was vitamin C deficient. I am going to stock up on vitamin C and magnesium and use them as my first defense going forward.

I had serious AF and PVC's (Premature ventricular contractions) and two cardiologists and my family doctor strongly encouraged "heart ablation surgery". I declined. I started experimenting with time-restricted-eating (TRE), intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting. Within the first month a frostbite sore/scab that I had for 15 years (not a typo) healed beautifully. In the 8th month I got my CRP retested. It had been "off the charts" - a score of 12 where optimum is less than 1 and "normal" is 1 to 3. After 8 months of daily fasting (my eating window was usually 4 to 6 hours), my CRP was 0.01 - the lab was giddy with excitement and told me they had NEVER seen such a low score. At 70 years of age I am back to what I've done all my life - running, golfing, swimming, camping and biking - to name a few. BUT here's the #1 thing to know and it's the first thing to try: DO NOT EAT AFTER SUNDOWN!!!!! NEVER EVER. Why? Because "eating even nutritious foods (after sundown) promotes serious inflammation" (Dr. Satchin Panda - researcher). I told a stranger that I met at a sports event about this #1 rule. I knew nothing about him. A month later, at another event he recognized me and came up to tell me that he had changed one thing in his life (a long-time insulin taking diabetic). He stopped eating after sundown. He reported that his AM glucose test was 78 - a number, he said, that he had not seen in a LONG time. He felt he might have a very different life in his old age (72+) than what he had been braced for. He also felt he would be soon reducing and then eliminating the drugs he was taking.

Dear Sanjay, I had quadruple bypass surgery at flinders university hospital in 2014, I was not happy with the medication that they insisted I take for the rest of my life so I stopped taking them, I only take eliquis blood thinner and magnesium at present. At my last visit to my cardiologist I queried as to wether there is any connection with the stomach and the heart as over time I had observed myself increased AF after a meal , he almost ridiculed me for even suggesting the idea stating that "that there is absolutely no connection what so ever. Despite his high status at flinders I decided not to use him again because I felt my self diagnosis was right ; so it was with great joy to see recently your comments on this very issue which fitted my experience exactly as have many of your very informative presentations of which I have say here I am most greatfull for your amazing dedication and humanitarianism, thank you. Now with this latest presentation on the use of vitamin c,this so fits in with the little research I have done on my chronic AF I am going to commence vit c as soon as my order arrives and in due course I will let you know how I get on with it. Kind regards from South Australia, Robert Oldfield

[@cliffg4437]

Look up Dr Gupta's videos on vagal AF, and gastro-cardiac syndrome. It's real, I've lived with it for 30 years and know all the patterns. Also research Prof Coumel, the french cardiologist who first described it.

I am also going to prioritize getting a full 8 to 9 hrrs sleep since lack of sleep is a trigger for me. I find these small studies very convincing.

Thank you for being so pro the patient and not simply drug and intervention focused. You are a rarity in the contemporary medical establishment. We are in a pharmaceutical world and not committed to health and best practice. We have violated the most fundamental tenet of promoting health, not doing harm and least invasive care. Please keep up your commitment to public health. My AF that I detected early COVID, was really ‘concerning’. I was afraid to recline in the evenings and lie down at bedtime. I believed that I have successfully managed it through the help of your evidence-based videos (body positioning and other non-invasive management strategies). I am so relieved to have found your videos. In addition to vitamin C supplementation, I also quit alcohol about the same time. Thank you so much. Professor-Elizabeth

Approx. 4 years of intermittent to regular afib. Have been taking ~7gms daily of vit C for the last 4.5 months have been off my heart meds for for 2 months and only one minor incident relapse.. note im also taking some magnesium supplements and Pure unsweetened chocolate. I've also done some intermittent fasting and lost a lot of weight so my case isn't definitive but certainly suggests potential investigation as part of some healthy changes.

I know this is 10 months later, but did you at any time take a pharmaceutical blood anticoagulant? That is where I am at right now.....looking for a way to not take it. I have Afib occurrences once every few months and dr wants me to take eliquis. Hope you are continuing to do well!

[@jab5444]

@@Kexpressions12 No I haven’t had to take Anticoagulants yet, I’m not yet 65 and my cumulative risk score is low enough that my doctor says I don’t need them. I’m not sure what I’ll do when I turn 65 in a few years. We’ll see what the doctor says. I’m primarily concerned with getting my Afib under control. The vitamin C doses work very well, however if I stray from my control food intake, or if I have a lot of stress, or if I don’t get enough sleep, I seem to be more susceptible to incidents. I started doing megadoses of 20 g of magnesium, along with the vitamin C, and the vitamin D, and K2. I just started the extra magnesium on Tuesday after watching the DR’s KZbin video, I’m actually feeling pretty good and my heart seems to be better than normal. Planning on the mega magnesium for a total of 30 days and then dropping down to about 300 mg a day. We’ll see how that goes.

[@Kexpressions12]

@@jab5444 thank you for your quick response. Yes I'm finding there are a lot of things we can do to lesson stress on our hearts which a lot of doctors won't spend time addressing. I was hugely disappointed with a local cardiologist I've long waited to see. He basically brushed me off about any ideas I read about and only offered the anticoag or nothing....quite disgusting actually. Glad you are having good results so far with what you are doing. I am 65 with controlled high BP....and w/some extra weight that needs to come off. I've been looking for natural alternatives to the anti coag., so I have to come up with an even more aggressive plan incorporating all I'm learning, adding to what I've been doing already. Maybe have to take the anticoag for a little while?....we'll see. I appreciate that Dr.Gupta is really trying to help people and not just push pharmaceuticals. Sorry for my long post!

[@scampsyorkshire5368]

The commentary so reflected my experience of AF. Two episodes within a short space of time about two and a half years ago resulted in me taking beta blockers and blood thinners. Since then I have focussed even more on my diet and aim for a low GL intake, have introduced regular 30 minutes daily exercise to raise my pulse rate and also walk every day for c. 1 hour. I ensure that I get enough sleep and try to avoid stress and have been supplementing with vitamns C and D, although this latter has been to improve my immune system, but I'm heartened to hear that I have inadvertently stumbled on a natural aid to improve my condition. And the good news is that I have not had another episode. I have also recently started using Epsom salts in a weekly bath and that has improved noticeably my focus and energy levels and I understand now is also a natural assistant to improving AF. I would also like to add my thanks for all the information on this subject that has been made available through your videos.

I'm 57 and have a history of SVT and possible mitral valve prolapse (one dr. said "yes" another dr. said "no"). At any rate, in the last three years I've started to have a few episodes of AFib (msybe 8 in the last 3 yrs). Typically I will have a-fib when I have the flu. Twice in the last 3 years when I knew I had the flu because I tested pos for flu, I had a-fib for a few hours and within a couple of weeks after that I experienced a secondary short-lived episode of afib. The initial occurrence during the flu seems to trigger subsequent shorter-duration episodes within a few days to a few weeks. I take a lot of vitamin C everyday... Anywhere from 8 to 10 grams per day and I've been doing that for so long it's hard to say for sure whether the vitamin C prevents what would have been additional episodes of a-fib. That said I do have a feeling vit-C does generally tend to reduce bumping, thumping incl a-fib. I just feel more "solid" and stable in my chest when I take a good dose of vitamin C . . .
