Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Atrial Fibrulation is caused when the electrical circuit of our heart malfunctions. Unfortunately it cannot be rewired BUT the new operation Ablation burns out the malfunctioning signals. Because Donna has had other heart problems then it may not be feasible in her case. My husband had Atrial fib post severe diverticulitis. It showed on an EKG that the posibility was there but until he had prolonged illness it triggered the atrial fib. Now his colon is fixed with surgery and he had the ablation he only takes natural meds. Myself I had interruption of my heart electrical system from the radiation. Although mine is not fibrulation it is excessive heart rate controlled with medication, that I take on and off. Food als triggers this rate increase. Because the Vagus nerve is involved a friend told me to sit and drink really hot water and it does help slow the heart rate. In atrial fib it needs to be converted back to Normal sinus rythmn . If one could do it naturally you would be a miracle worker....Janicedonnab236 <donnab2 wrote: ---> > I am not aware of a lot of information on natural approaches to > treating Atrial Fibrillation.

Caffeine ,Chocolate and MSG are triggers . I avoid all three of them. I haven't had chocolate in 4 years.......I loved it, too. Donna Shape in your own image.
