        <title>Antimicrobial Natural Product Berberine Is Efficacious for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation</title>
        <description> Very interesting study on berberine for the treatment of fibrillation:
[pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Conclusions: &amp;quot;...We find that berberine and amiodarone are equally effective for conversion of AF and maintenance of normal SR&amp;quot;</description>

How do we read the entire study?  The abstract doesn&#039;t tell how much berberine they took or how often, for how long.   Is it to be taken indefinitely?  Any reason not to?</div></blockquote>

            <description><![CDATA[ thanks.  I did see that one.  I noticed it was just one guy.. but still.  Mostly I&#039;m having a ton of PACs.. on and off.  When I eat higher protein lower carb they seem to be better.  It just taking some getting used to and looking for other fixes...  A girl can only eat so many eggs.   (Plus my cholesterol is high- depending on your definition- so it is a toggling thing.). <br />

so what about bradycardia with berberine?<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ so what about bradycardia with berberine?  Anyone have any info on that or experience?  I read some reference to this.  I have a ?wide/long?? PR interval and some lower rates at time probably from the flecanide but I have been having a ton of PACs and was considering trying the berberine until I read some on the bradycardia.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Interesting and I just came across information the other day that Berberine can be used in place of Metaformin for those with sugar/diabetes concerns and it has less side effects.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Interesting. Here is another article. [<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4568800/"  rel="nofollow">www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</a>]  The effect on acetylcholine seems to be involved. <br />

<blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br /></small><strong></strong><br />Ber has anti-arrhythmic actions as well as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-myocardial ischemia, and even anti-thrombosis effects [19-23]. Therefore, Ber is potentially more suitable for treating chronic AF than other similar AADs.</div></blockquote>]]></description>
