Thanks for that information.

I am under an endocrinologist...my medication was a right mess, I’m also under my cardiologist after having open heart surgery..


I stopped taking vitamin D months ago, over 1,000 mg it was, I’d been on it for over 6 years. it contained calcium...I’m hoping that the docs have finally got my meds right, I started taking a new one called cinacalcet , it lowers serum calcium in the blood, mine was seriously high and I was nearly admitted into hospital because of it...plus to much calcium in the blood can trigger AF ..

Another thing that triggers AF is being dehydrated...I was extremely dehydrated...I’ve started drinking 2 litres of water a day, cutting out all beverages...I have to go back to hospital next week for a blood test..

I had a terrible episode of AF last Tuesday evening...anyway..since being on this medication and drinking 2 litre of water a day I’ve had no fits of AF ..Praise God..please pray I continue on his road..

Unfortunately, the medical establishment cannot give you much dietary advice, if at all, but I have found much help amongst micro-biologists to get my system stabilized.

Vitamin K is important for calcium absorption. But you have to know which one to take from those who have spent a long time on this.

You can do a search on this forum or join to get much advice from those who use more natural means:

i Best not start taking any vitamin K at the moment , as I’m taking these tablets that lower the serum calcium in the blood.

I very much appreciate all the information though.

Am I right in thinking that you too suffer with AF?image.jpg

Yes you must do a lot of research and find advisors with your condition before taking anything.

No I do not have AF. Everything else but ...lol

I don't have AF.

@Hepzibah is correct about the vitamin K. (I understand you cannot take it right now.)

Apparently vitamin K helps the calcium to get pushed into the bones instead of going into your soft tissues like heart muscle. See YouTube videos by Dr. Berg about this.

Sorry to say but most doctors do not advise people about such things....they only treat you after you get ill.

Have to charge my tablet or I would look a video up for you. Dr. Berg also says magnesium is needed...some people are deficient.

The heart of none stops beating before GOD has purposed .
For the lambs i have good news . THOSE WHO are HIS
when once that heart beats no more , GOTTA FAR BETTER PLACE , one we did not deserve
BUT THANK GOD FOR CHRIST JESUS .
Tick , tick , tick know man knows the last beat of our heart ,
But the sheep sure know , THANKS TO GOD TO CHRIST a far better place awaits .
Pray to be healed and let others join in, but let the peace of GOD be upon and within our hearts and minds .

I agree about Dr Berg and think highly of him.

The most important thing is to be on a toxin free diet for whatever ails us - no processed food, cooked from scratch, no seed oils, organic if possible, avoiding the 'dirty dozen'.

I remember you saying @Ritajanice that you have childhood trauma? This is very often the cause of illness later on, and working on the trauma helps a great deal for the body to heal as it calms down the nervous system.

I find a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis very helpful in telling me what is going on in my body and costs £90 with nutritional advice then £60 thereafter if you don't need advice and there are forums of people doing it.

My last tests confirm that my body is in a very high alert condition which I hope is improving as I treat my trauma.

Look in the PDR,Physicians Desk Reference, and locate all medications you've been prescribed.

There are details to be found there that doctors may not share when they've handed you a prescription.

I knew a woman who was prescribed a medication that she took for 10 years. It was now driving her nerves out of control. Her doctor told her he couldn't take her off the stuff now because if he did she'd convulse to death.

We looked up this medication in the PDR. Sure enough there it was under the long term side effects header.

That was a little detail her doctor failed to mention before putting her on the stuff.

Sorry to hear this news from you RJ. I truly hope you can find the right people to balance or rid your body of the suspect problem chemicals, or whatever source, natural or synthesized, for a healthy life. I hope your heart surgery was also a positive success for you.

I will pray to our Father with Christ in mind for your long life, happiness, in peace and without pain. Bless you RJ, and I did not know any of this until now...thank you for sharing...pryrw

One needs to listen to their body or system, too.

When I first went on thyroid medication (slightly underactive), I didn't feel right. So then my doctor said take it once a week. Ended up taking it twice a week which worked.

When I tried taking it just a little more often, I got highly nervous!!!! It was terrible. My doctor said the med can cause nervousness in some people. Also, recently heard on the news, it can affect the bones badly!

So I'm glad I take the lowest dose and only twice weekly. Hopefully my bones will be ok.

Re: Your bones.

Look into a supplement known as, Hydroxyapatite. You'll find it in health food stores or online of course.
It's usually derived from calf bone matrix.


How does hydroxyapatite promote bone growth?
Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HA), as one of the main components of natural bone, can increase the concentration of local Ca2+, which can activate the proliferation of osteoblasts and promote the growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)"

Hopefully my bones are ok because I have been taking the lowest dose and sometimes I skip three nights, sometimes I skip two nights.
(My thyroid is just slightly underactive.)
