I am definitely watching these new developments with a close eye. I take 4 g of EPA Per day, for triglyceride reduction, but especially mood enhancement and to reduce the inflammation. I think for me personally it works very well. The people they are studying in these trials already had established cardiovascular disease one must remember, so they were already playing with a stacked deck againstby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
I don’t know how much wellbutrin contributes to a FIB… It may not contribute that much at all… It may contribute some though… As far as supplements go, one that I really like is Sam– E.....It gives you a little bit and I find it very effective… I don’t think it contributes to a fib much if any, it’s not very stimulatory… It also has anti-inflammatory and liver protecting properties… As well as rby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
I wondered about this too, if you could maybe get your pro time or INR rates checked or another one like PTT or aPTT to determine if your blood was thin from supplements? I want to take curcumin for instance and want to take fish oil, etc. but I don't want my blood to get to them or not be able to clot at all I suppose... has anyone done these tests while they were on supplements that thin tby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
How much mag and potassium do u take in per day? I'm trying to get about 600mg of mag per day, but my potassium is varying due to my low carb diet... I've noticed more pac's since starting it, and before I did I was getting 4500+mg of potassium a day, but it's a little tougher on low carbs, especially bcuz I have to take in a lot of sodium to balance things out with it...... iby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
There are some supplements that help, selenium and zinc both help… Also seven – keto DHEA helps… There is an article I read it's semi sensational but has a lot of good info to, here is the link : Hope this helps a bit. I also found that if I was taking into few calories my T3 would crash, especially on a low-carb diet… I think he addresses that in the article though it's been a whilby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
How many PACs do you have to have to trigger a fib, or how close together do they have to be? And what causes PACs? Thanks Benby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks Jackie and George! I am definitely going to gradually increase my vitamin D now.... Jackie, did you take this much vitamin D before your ablation? And have a good control before then? Or is this something you did after your ablation/s? George, could you tell us exactly how you're getting in the supplemental magnesium, as in what form and what times? I have been trying to getby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks George! I really appreciate all the info you give to this forum, I'm definitely not trying to critique you about the vitamin D… I think one cool thing that could be noted from looking at your nutrients in relation to vitamin D is that you are not taking in much calcium at all, so regardless of how much vitamin D you are taking in, you can't really absorb "more" than thby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
That's Great news! Glad that is working out for you, I read your story with interest. So when you say you're back on your supplements, does that include the berberine? I know you had said you thought that was pretty effective, at least for a while... I read up on it and it said it actually does have anti-arrhythmic properties, as well as significant anti-inflammatory and anti-diabeticby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
Are you guys aware that there is a study that links levels of vitamin D greater than 100 with atrial fibrillation? Let me see if I can find it and I'll try and post the link... I had heard of that study and that's why I was asking… The study only said levels greater than 100 though… I just did a quick Google search and found a link to an article that talked about the study, I'mby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi guys? I haven't posted much, and honestly haven't had a fib much, only one long 2.5 months run of a fib about eight months ago and one day of it a few weeks after, both that I had to be shocked out of,although I think the first long one might've initially been medicine (thyroid overdose) related, and the second one from having an inflamed heart after being in a fib 10 weeks, andby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM

Wow! Thanks guys Hi, I could probably make this into a separate post about specific sleeping pills, wondering about trazodone and Flexeril… The GABA supplement I haven't tried it, but I am way past CNI and unfortunately, and I have now basically drug induced insomnia from taking the Xanax starting after my a fib on December 1, and then I pop out of bed after it wears off, and now I'm wby Starwarsfan - AFIBBERS FORUM
