I can't say what is safe for everyone but I currently take 250 mg. of

magnesium a day which is 63% of the RDA. I also take 3 to 4

potassium tablets a day which are 99 mg. each and are 3% of the RDA

each.

This small amount has stopped all AF occurrences. I can honestly say

that the AF episodes are completely gone since starting to take these

two supplements approx. four months ago.

I actually stopped an 18 hour AF episode with a magnesium sulfate

(epsom salt) bath after only 20 minutes. It is well known that any

chemical on the skin will be in the blood in less than a minute.

That's why nicotine and pain patches work so well.

None of my doctors have talked about the mineral imbalance

connection, but the first time in the ER they tried a magnesium drip

and the third time in the ER they prescribed 1500 mg./day of

potassium for ten days. Even though they aren't talking about it, I

was able to read between the lines and just started experimenting on

my own with good results.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Otis.

The best magnesium is Magnesium Glycinate.

This is the easiest for your body to assimilate and use.

I use it from a company called Metagenics.

I take two 200mg tablets.

Like I said elsewhere in that post - Mag Glycinate - is the easiest for your

body

to assimilate and use. Most efficent may be another way to view it. It certainly

isn't the cheapest.
