How I control A-fib

I have a heart condition called Afib that's been there my whole life but only became a problem as I aged.

I found it getting "stuck" for hours and identified the difference in my day the day before: I walked around in the heat without getting as much to drink as I would have normally.

For a while I treated the condition with iced tea and potato chips. (I speculated that this was pretty much Gatorade.) This worked until it didn't ...

I found references to magnesium online and started taking a multi-supplement:
This worked for a while then I added potassium and gradually have been upping the amounts as necessary. I added another multi-factor supplement on advice of this alternative health provider in Issaquah, Mary Jane Mack:


This one has a long list of ingredients also ... I don't know why but this one was helpful in controlling the laxative effect that magnesium can have. It may be something to do with the combination of other ingredients or the particular form of magnesium it contains; I'm not sure.

The manufacturer of this one is making retailers pledge to only sell to people who've come in for an appointment once per year ... but of course, one can order from Amazon without that restriction ...

In general, magnesium citrate and magnesium lactate seem best for not getting my guts too excited.

My current morming regimen:

  • 2 Tri-Boron Plus
  • 2 99mg Potassium 
  • 2 Biocardiozyme forte
  • 1 250mg Magnesium
In the evening I take:   
  • 2 Tri-Boron Plus
  • 2 99mg Potassium
  • 2 Biocardiozyme Forte
  • 1 133mg Magnesium
  • 1 1000mg Vitamin C
  • 1 1000iu Vitamin D
  • 1 200mcg Selenium
And late evening:
  • 1 more 99mg Potassium

I hope this is helpful; post a question in the comments if you want to know anything else.
