A Simple Blood Donation Reveals My Second Afib Episode (Possibly)

Travis Van Slooten |November 7, 2013 | 8 Comments

In late June/early July of 2005 I went to give blood for the first time. Since this was my first time, I was a little nervous because I HATE needles and I thought it would be painful. My wife, who was with me, assured me it was no big deal. We both sat down and as the nurses began outfitting us for the donation, my nurse paused, turned to another nurse and asked her if she could check my heart […]

My First Afib Episode (and I Didn't Even Know It)

Travis Van Slooten |November 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment

This is going to be the beginning of a series of blog posts chronicling my “afib journey.” My hope is that by sharing my personal experiences, others might be able to identify with them and realize they aren’t alone.

Nutrition and Atrial Fibrillation: Western and Chinese Dietary Therapies

Robert Ellis |January 13, 2013 | 18 Comments

This post is a paper I wrote for school. While it will probably be of interest mostly to other students of Chinese medicine and nutrition, I’ve decided to post it for the benefit of fellow suffers of atrial fibrillation. If you find it intriguing, I would strongly recommend that you seek an acupuncturist who also practices Chinese dietary therapy and herbology. I have found this combination tremendously beneficial in the management of my own atrial fibrillation.

Conversion to Normal Sinus Rhythm by Entrainment to a Normal Heartbeat

Robert Ellis |December 6, 2012 | 60 Comments

I have written elsewhere about the comforting experience of listening to my heart with a stethoscope. This morning I discovered that listening to a normal heartbeat while in atrial fibrillation may have the ability to restore normal sinus rhythm.
