    I’m 28 years old and have been dealing with AF since I was 21. I began experiencing it when I got pregnant with my daughter. Since then, I have been on every kind of rhythm medications but my body will not respond to them. I had an ablation done last summer but I am now experiencing episodes again. They are planning to do another one in a few weeks

  2. Treating arrhythmia the standard way (drugs + operations) can be pretty expensive. Of course, in some cases this is the only cure, but in other cases arrhythmia can be cured and can ONLY be cured by following a certain diet. But you have go through some tests first to see if your arrhythmia is caused by a physical flaw in your heart or from other factors (stress, bad nutrition, etc.). How do I know it works? I’m a living example! None of three different pills doctors prescribed me had any effect, but the change of diet did. Read my whole story (along with complete medical documentation) here:

I started this site after I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The doctors offered me drugs or, if it got worse, more drugs or surgery. I chose to manage my afib and arrhythmias with natural methods—nutrition, supplements, and stress management. This site is a journal of what I’m learning. Read more.
