I just want to share my story Hi, I'm a 63 year old male. I had Afib and they said I have a leaky heath valve. My cardio guy has me on water pill and blood pressure pills, my heart was at 30%. My last visit he told me that when I come back he might have to restart my heart. I wasn't thrilled with that idea so I searched the internet. I found some people saying that Magnesium glycinate is good for the heart and blood flow. Also I was seeing people talking about Beat root . So with 6 months till my next visit I started taking Magnesium Glycinate 400mg and Beet root capsules 1400 mg. I returned to the Cardiologist 6 months later. He sends me for a cardiogram and I return a few days later for my results.He walked in the room and looked confused! He asked me what have I changed. I told him about the magnesium but not about the beet root. He says your Afib is gone and your heart is at 50%. My wife started balling and I was as shocked as him. He says he wants me to take another cardiogram just to confirm. The second time around the result are exactly the same. He said I have a heart of a teenager and told me to keep doing whatever I'm doing and he doesn't want to see me for a year. Funny everyone that has heard my story seems to be taking magnesium and beets, my family and friends for sure.. I have been planning to post something because I wonder if this might work for someone else. Let me know if anyone has tried something that has helped them.

Does the bottle of beetroot say how much K is in the 700 mg? I went to Amazon (US) and it's not there, and Plant Vitals website comes up "404 page not found". I've got an email into them.

Avocado has 63% more potassium than kiwi - kiwi has 312mg of potassium per 100 grams and avocado has 507mg of potassium. Antioxidants and Phytonutrients ...

They're locally grown, have less sugar, in season now and taste better.

gloaming
I prefer to do it through diet, Susan. I have to eat anyway, and do so two or three times each day, and I rarely use processed foods like pizza or burgers and fries, or tinned 'meals', etc. I grow carrots, beets, Swiss chard, kale, cherry tomatoes, figs, blackberries, raspberries, and squash. I also build up my raised bed soils with epsom salts to ensure good mineralization. I eat potatoes, peanuts (peanut butter), the beets seasonally....all of which provide potassium. I make fig jam...very high in potassium.

Even so, I realize that some absolutely must resort to supplements of a kind or another, and that it must be sensible prophylaxis. Perhaps I'll learn that I ought to have done so for some time....but I hope not.

Farmer gloaming- you are amazing. I do not have any space to garden unfortunately and if I did it’s 97 degrees in the shade. It’s a torching heat. I bought two IKEA wooden 8” by 10” flower beds I’m planning to plant indoors by a window. It’s the best that I can. I’m envious of your crops.]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 20 Aug 2024 22:36:52 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197001,197016#msg-197016 Re: I just want to share my story https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197001,197016#msg-197016
