Mike,

I agree. Focusing only on magnesium won't help because all electrolytes are

important and work together. For example, magnesium is important for

assimilating calcium. I take about 200 m.g. of magnesium supplement daily along

with

1000 m.g. of calcium and potassium from food sources. I don't add salt to

food, but most food sources contain adequate sodium cumulatively. A blood test

last week showed that all levels are good. I think that I am staying in sinus

most of the time because of many factors, including adequate electrolytes but

mostly because of dropping dairy products. However, if my electrolytes were

out of balance, probably my dairy-free diet would not keep me from afib.

Staying in sinus requires balancing of many factors, including diet, lifestyle,

and

electrolytes.
