New Member and Magnesium Question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Just found this group. I have been taking Magnesium for about 3

weeks to augment the flecainide that I take for my newly developed A

Fib of about 2 months duration. I read this article on the benefits

of Magnesium for people with A-Fib and found that the article

mentioned about 4 different symptoms that I was getting even though

the Flecainide had the A fib basically under control. I started

taking 500Mg of Magnesium twice a day and pretty much all arrythmias

have disappeared.

Here is the link for the article that I read.

http://www.schachtercenter.com/importance_of_magnesium_to_human.htm

Since I started this I found on another site that this Magnesium

subject was discussed frequently and it seems many people have been

helped by this. Has anyone here had similar success?

Hi, I tried taking this and having all my silver fillings taken out but to no

avail.

However there is a blood test called the intercellular magnesium level, it was

not that expensive and it should me to be at a dangerous level.

Incidentally I had this done because of thyroid problems and cramp.

When I told my hospital about this I was told dont be stupid as there is no test

for magnesium and other things would shoe up if I was low on this.

It does not answer your question but I have seen mails from other patients

claiming a restbite with there AF.
