Intermittent fasting in itself is extremely Healing. Also by totally ditching Sugar a lot of inflammation will be eliminated from your body. And yes, Magnesium will calm all your muscles including your heart!!😉

@@YorkCardiology Thank you so much. I have this problem for awhile so your information is very welcome. I will try VitC. My BP is low in the morning but goes high as the day goes on.
So sorry about your Dad! Hope he is better! I have a question for you! I need some advice so I will go on your web site when I can and hopefully you can help me! I had a heart ablation today and parts of my heart that were causing my racing heart (SVT) were detected, but before they could be treated my heart went into AFib and the heart ablation was stopped! Now the surgeon wants to repeat the procedure but I would have the be on blood thinners 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after and my experience with many of the blood thinners is a horror story! I don’t know what to do!
I hate the thought of putting those beagles through experiments ! We should not use innocent animals to try out treatments. that are for humans. I hope the animal kingdom also benefits from the findings . I have witnessed experiments on our fellow creatures at University in the Bio lab !
I am a physician in Alabama with a history of vagal paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for 18 years. I started magnesium glycinate, six months ago, and it has greatly reduced my episodes. After adding vitamin C, I am essentially cured. I am no longer sensitive to many of the known factors that would sit off an episode. Thank you so much for your continued interest and research on these topics.
I would be so interested in knowing what are the triggers. I'm.80, Irish normally living in Switzerland but right now in Spain on vac 7:25 ation. Just called a doctor for an Afib episode. Thank you😊
Sudden changes in position, sleeping on left side, esophageal irritation (eating too late, eating too much), alcohol--even half a beer or half glass of wine, were some of my triggers. I recommend "pill in a pocket" to end episodes.
I use 750/mag glycinate and 500/vit C. I also take 100 mg of flecainide and 12.5 of metoprolol an hour before bedtime since my episodes typically start just as I am falling asleep. They are much less frequent now with the supplements.
I'm sorry to hear your dad is unwell and send healing prayers for his recovery. Your knowledge is so appreciated. You're a lovely caring man. Thank you for all you do.
I’ve tried VIT C 2000mg daily for 2 weeks and the AF has GONE!! I am tired and my chest feels a bit sore but every day I’m improving after AF 24/7 after a virus. RESEARCH IS SO NEEDED for this as it’s cheap and accessible for all.
One of the only cardiologists that understands all aspects of our heart problems ! A real professional as well as explaining problems in an understandable manner, Many Thanks
I have Afib have proccedure but I am not totally cured. I have the lower beat while at rest and the higher beat while on motion can I ask my cardiologist to give me the Flecainide small doses pill in a pocket?
What an eloquent and convincing explanation of this hypothesis. His calm and balanced presentation alone helped my afib ( well sort of) Anyway regardless of big studies or not I’m giving this therapy a try as I have a pacemaker being implanted next week and apparently afib is not helpful for best results. Glad my son forwarded me this link. Hope it goes well with your dad mate.
My personal observation is, if you educate patients it will always result in better treatment because patients can explain better about their symptoms and take better care of themselves and it makes doctors' life a bit easier. One very common example can be most of the patient doesn't even understand the difference between chest pain related to the heart issue and confuse it with gas or acidity related pains.. so doctors need to go through a series of tests and find out the actual problem.. sometimes people get traumatized with very simple health issue whereas some times they just ignore very serious issue and end up in ER at the eleventh hour. Doctors should reduce the gap between patients and them. The way you explain things and communicates is definitely praiseworthy that many doctors do not do. Respect and best wishes to you. If I can help you in any way with your noble journey, please let me know.
I am heartbroken to hear that your father is not doing well. I am sending healing energy and lots of LOVE to your father, and strength to you! You are an ANGEL on this earth! And we thank your father (and mother) for bringing you to life and instilling the compassion that you give to your patients and the world. I always look forward to your life-changing videos, which have helped me immensely. I am still hoping to have a consultation with you, since I am dealing with an undiagnosed heart issue. Much LOVE and PEACE for the speedy recovery of your father! 🙏🏼✨💖
If healing prayer, healing energy have any thing to do with disease and treatment there should not have been hospitals and doctors but only prayer houses all over every where...🙂
@@rssiddharth3134 I believe in praying to God and do it every day. I just don't understand someone saying they are going to send "healing energy". How does that happen?
Dr. Gupta I am a nurse and had not heard of this. I will pass this onto my family members, friends, patients and cohorts! Very beneficial, non-invasive, and inexpensive modality. I am so sorry to hear about your father. You are a great son. I will keep him in prayer 🙏
LOL, good luck with that. I'm thrilled you're so open minded, but my experience with Dr's, nurses and others is they will simply hear "Vitamin" and reject it. Especially nurses. I had an argument with one nurse who claimed Vit D did nothing as far as preventing the Flu. . .I asked her "have you read the studies?" Her response was to ignore this and say, "well, Im a nurse, so. . ." as if that ended the conversation, lol.
@@Colstonewall I'm also a nurse and I believe totally in vitamins and nutrition, but my training was more like indoctrination. They're taught to follow policies and orders and it's very challenging to learn and do all that is required. It's better to just say how well it worked and let them file it away for their knowledge later on. She should have been more curious and kind to you though :)
@@Savannah-ed4rv Well, thank you for acknowledging my 'opinion.' My only goal in telling that particular nurse and others was to help. I had no other motive. I've been so helped by Vitamins and Herbs that I want everyone to know, for their own good. But that particular nurse, it was her arrogance that pissed me off. Had I not been at work that day (when we had the discussion) I would have really told her off. Anyways, I could go on for days about this topic, so I digress! You have a great day, Savannah!!
I am so pleased to see a honest ,humble doctor with humane qualities. Your scientific approach to the commercialized medical practice is commendable. Your focus on patient- driven medicine rather than protocol driven is highly appreciated. Keep up ur efforts to educate the people and patients!! Vest wishes. Dr T. Shivanandappa Mysore, India.
I had an American friend, Dr. Alton Olson and his wife Ruth who operated a field clinic for decades in or near Mysore, India. They are retired now but I believe his son Nathan might still be serving in that area.
Protocol driven medicine of late is funded by huge investors/big pharma and disguised as “evidence” based medicine and has become “check box “ medicine . Studies now can be designed to “ fail” certain inexpensive treatments or procedures or out of the box ideas but people say they work so who do we believe? The patient or a journal under regulatory capture.

@@johnpossum556 alta dosis de vitamina C es a partir de 5 gramos por sesión, y se incrementa dependiendo de la patología. El límite es aquella dosis que produce ligera diarrea entonces se disminuye a la anterior, pero no hay registro de que alguien haya muerto por causa de la vitamina C.
@@johnpossum556 not a big deal actually: if that happens, reduce the dosage or try liposomal vitamin C. Most people can handle 2 to 3 grams of ‘regular’ vitamin C per day though. The ‘side effects’ of vitamin C are nothing compared to the side effects of the drugs routinely prescribed (for life) to people with heart issues.
Prayers for your fathers speedy recovery. Thank you for taking time out of this stressful period to send us another great video. I understand you can safely take high doses of vitamin c by monitoring your intake through bowel tolerance. A little diarrhea and then you can ease off of the vitamin c until you get it right. I will take a little diarrhea over AFIB any day. Thank you again.
Thanks as always Dr - have paroxsysmal af and take 3000 mgs Vitamin C daily - no afib in the last 3 years - more importantly prayers for your father and family!
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I just use Jamieson brand chewable Vitamin C (I live in Canada where it is a major brand) - I used to have afib attacks 3 or 4 times per year - they would last anywhere from an hour to at most 2 hours - I used a pill in the pocket approach to terminate attacks with ativan and inderal
Dr. Gupta you are an awesome humanitarian. This world needs more physicians like you. Many thanks for putting out these valuable videos. I was recently diagnosed with Afib and find them most valuable. Keeping you, your father and family in prayers. God bless you.
I had no heart issues until at age 81 it9 was discovered I had afib when I went to the hospital for a out patient procedure. I have no symptoms in afib. I was prescribed eliquis and metoprolol. I was on zero medication prior to this. I do not drink or smoke and am not overweight. No hig blood pressure or other difficulties except for osteo arthrites which has caused some discomfort and effected my range of motion recently. Sorry for the long story. I want to treat things naturally as much as possible. I found the doctors advice very helpful. Thank you. Since covid I am working at home on telehealth as a family therapist. I have been in this profession for more than 25 years and find that helping clients travel within to find the answers to their lives the most satisfying part of my work. I appreciate when other professionals respect people as individuals. We are not a dx. Take care
Thanks for sharing this info Dr. Gupta, I’ve had A Fib for almost 20 years, it was discovered at 46 I’ll be 66 this year. I will try the Vit C and report back. Thanks again. I wish all the best for your Dad
Vitamin C intravenous (20 grams per day) cured me of shingles, helps when I am having mononucleosis reoccurence, helps cancer, blood on toothbrush (scurvy), West Nile (1 gram every hour until symptoms gone) and much more. Linus Pauling books. Thank you Dr Gupta. Learned a lot. Prayers for your father, I'm dvm.
Wow I am so impressed that a major medical dr such as yourself is willing to talk about these things and bring them to the public. Thank you!!!! I personally take Ester C but think now I might include some ascorbic acid just to be on the safe side. I don't have any AF, but prevention is the best medicine :) Blessings, may your father heal quickly and your life return to a more normal 👍
God bless you Sanjay(very common name you have.) Thank you for giving of yourself in this way! Prayers for your mom and dad! God is the healer! Believe He can and He will.
I developed AFIB after taking the J&J Covid vaccine. It got so bad I had a heart ablation 4 months ago. It seemed to work, but the fib returned a few weeks ago, and much worse. My cardiologist suggested another heart ablation - so I scheduled it and had another two days ago. Three days prior to the 2nd heart ablation, I started taking vitamin C and the AFIB subsided completely. I thought about cancelling the second ablation, but the idea of it coming back again was frightening. Today I see this video and I am convinced that I was vitamin C deficient. I am going to stock up on vitamin C and magnesium and use them as my first defense going forward.
I'm 57 and have a history of SVT and possible mitral valve prolapse (one dr. said "yes" another dr. said "no"). At any rate, in the last three years I've started to have a few episodes of AFib (msybe 8 in the last 3 yrs). Typically I will have a-fib when I have the flu. Twice in the last 3 years when I knew I had the flu because I tested pos for flu, I had a-fib for a few hours and within a couple of weeks after that I experienced a secondary short-lived episode of afib. The initial occurrence during the flu seems to trigger subsequent shorter-duration episodes within a few days to a few weeks. I take a lot of vitamin C everyday... Anywhere from 8 to 10 grams per day and I've been doing that for so long it's hard to say for sure whether the vitamin C prevents what would have been additional episodes of a-fib. That said I do have a feeling vit-C does generally tend to reduce bumping, thumping incl a-fib. I just feel more "solid" and stable in my chest when I take a good dose of vitamin C . . .
Hey Doc, I was recently diagnosed with AF. Blood pressure very good and my ultrasounds were very good also. I noticed it was increasing in frequency so I started on 1000mg of Vitamin C per day. According to my iWatch Ultra my Afib has reduced by 50%. I feel like it has reduced even more that that. All anecdotal I know, but that is my story so far. Regards and thanks for all your work here.
Thanks. How much Vit C should I have per day? I had AF with Hyperparathroidism but it went away after surgery. Now it has come back so my cardioligist has put me back on medication. Would be grateful to know.
Thankyou very much. It's nice to hear a doctor who has such an open mind. I'm sorry your father is sick. I pray for him and you and all.your family for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself as stress is not good for you. Thanks again for all you do for people to reassure as.
Approx. 4 years of intermittent to regular afib. Have been taking ~7gms daily of vit C for the last 4.5 months have been off my heart meds for for 2 months and only one minor incident relapse.. note im also taking some magnesium supplements and Pure unsweetened chocolate. I've also done some intermittent fasting and lost a lot of weight so my case isn't definitive but certainly suggests potential investigation as part of some healthy changes.
I know this is 10 months later, but did you at any time take a pharmaceutical blood anticoagulant? That is where I am at right now.....looking for a way to not take it. I have Afib occurrences once every few months and dr wants me to take eliquis. Hope you are continuing to do well!
@@Kexpressions12 No I haven’t had to take Anticoagulants yet, I’m not yet 65 and my cumulative risk score is low enough that my doctor says I don’t need them. I’m not sure what I’ll do when I turn 65 in a few years. We’ll see what the doctor says. I’m primarily concerned with getting my Afib under control. The vitamin C doses work very well, however if I stray from my control food intake, or if I have a lot of stress, or if I don’t get enough sleep, I seem to be more susceptible to incidents. I started doing megadoses of 20 g of magnesium, along with the vitamin C, and the vitamin D, and K2. I just started the extra magnesium on Tuesday after watching the DR’s RU-vid video, I’m actually feeling pretty good and my heart seems to be better than normal. Planning on the mega magnesium for a total of 30 days and then dropping down to about 300 mg a day. We’ll see how that goes.
@@jab5444 thank you for your quick response. Yes I'm finding there are a lot of things we can do to lesson stress on our hearts which a lot of doctors won't spend time addressing. I was hugely disappointed with a local cardiologist I've long waited to see. He basically brushed me off about any ideas I read about and only offered the anticoag or nothing....quite disgusting actually. Glad you are having good results so far with what you are doing. I am 65 with controlled high BP....and w/some extra weight that needs to come off. I've been looking for natural alternatives to the anti coag., so I have to come up with an even more aggressive plan incorporating all I'm learning, adding to what I've been doing already. Maybe have to take the anticoag for a little while?....we'll see. I appreciate that Dr.Gupta is really trying to help people and not just push pharmaceuticals. Sorry for my long post! It's just good to have a community!
I had cardiac ablation for afib 4 months ago. While I have had no breakthroughs I have had 30-40 ectopic beats a day. Sometimes less. Last week I started on 1000 mg vit c a day and the ectopic beats stopped after a day. Amazing. I never want to stop taking it.
@@aqeelhaider1103 make sure by doing simple Potassium and Magnesium test, that your Potassium is at least 4.4 ( make sure not reaching 5) and your Magnesium at least 2,2 ( not much than 2.4) and you are not dehydrated.
Aqeel, I was having 8,000 pvcs a day and taking 200-500 mg of vitamin C powder really helped. I still have pvcs, but only a hundred or so throughout the day. I barely even notice them now, thanks to the Vit C
@@aqeelhaider1103 i had that off and on for years. Lately since I am now 71 I had 10k quite often. I tried everything. Ribose stopped them completely. I take 6 to 9 grams with meals. Now I am battling afib, but the arrhythmias are 99.9 % gone. I think my problem with afib is water. I drink 64 oz a day as of 2 days ago and eat dinner 5 hours before bed and I hope this works because I had a huge number of afibs but they never lasted more than 4 hours. Also take 8 grams magnesium, 800 mg potassium pills, carnitine 1.5 grams and coq10 300 mg per day. Vitamin C sounds good, like maybe every 1 or 2 hours throughout the day.
Sanjay, I hope your father is gonna get well. You really are a beautiful human being. I admire your dedication and competence as your colleague and follower. I also learn a lot from you. Thank you for everything you do. :)
Thank You Dr Gupta. You have done a great service to humanity. May God bless you. May the Almighty bring good health to your parents. Trust the Almighty for His delivery and have faith. Peace.
Thank you for this information. 3rd time in Afib within a 2 year period, 5th cardioversion coming at Stanford Medical and will get on a Vitamin C regimen. Thank you again, Cheers!
I went to my Cardiologist Tuesday and he said I was in AFib. I didn't know it, didn't feel anything. I felt good. My BP was 116 over 70 so he was happy about that and told me to keep doing what I was doing, and go for more bloodwork!! Your videos are so helpful when you discover you have these problems. I've learned so much from them. They've taken away many of the questions and fear I feel. I thank you, Dr. Sanjay, for sharing your knowledge and intelligence.
Dr Gupta, I'm so grateful for the information you are providing and I'm so thankful that I found your channel. My husband was having seizures that were not due to epilepsy, but from having over 46,000 PVC's. The doctors couldn't tell him anything, but I began to research and found that it was most likely due to magnesium deficiency. As soon as he started using a magnesium spray, he has been okay for over 4 months. Once again thank you for sharing your medical knowledge and compassion for the people!
I had Afib for 7 years tried 1000 mg of time released VItamin C no more AFib why people are having Ablations done and lots of dangerous drugs I do not understand please try VC it is amazing
Don’t forget also the autonomic nervous system controls the heart rhythm so De stress and take B1 if needed and soak in magnesium baths and get PLENTY of rest and sleep with your phone on airplane mode and away from EMFs. Your body will thank you :)
Yeah man, B1 is very important, especially for the adrenals. I've been working out for 9 years and must admit I overdid it a lot of times, also high consumption of carbs in the past might have depleted my B1 and vitamin C, now my resting heart rate is around 90-130 (last year it was 53, and sometimes it goes down, of course, its not always high, but a couple times a day it shoots up), although cardiologists say my heart is completely normal, B1 depletion and chronic stress without acquaint rest might just have destroyed my nervous system, and I'm only 25.
@@ilkayc. damn I’m 23 bro and I’m experiencing everything you’ve said. I used to take creatine daily and workout very intensely and gained quite a bit of muscle combines with very high carbs and lots of sugar I think I’ve messed up my entire system. I suffer from night time palpitations and every now and again I get a bout of tachycardia where my heart goes in to race mode. My heart rate is also always high and I get out of breath when I stand up. I’m also concerned the damage may have affected my aorta since I have a pulse in my stomach it’s very worrying. Recently I’ve cut out all sugar accept for the occasional orange for vitamin c and lemons. I’ve also started keto to start the process of repair. So High fat lots of vegetables and I’ve also started to take high dose vitamin C with L-lysine and B12, B1, copper, D3 and K2 and I also ground bare foot in the open to release inflammation from the body as well as intermittently fast. I hope all this helps cause at my age I don’t need all this :(
@@jnomadik2494 I feel you brother and see your struggle. Don't give up and try not to worry too much, it makes things worse because it will cause a panic attack, trust me I know this. You're doing everything right, maybe incorporate more low-intensity work, too, like slow cardio or just long walks to stretch your heart muscle. All this strength and HIIT training makes the heart muscle thicker. Try not to stress yourself, or better yet change your perspective on stress. That might be very difficult at first since it is embodied in our subconscious, but you and I can manage it, don't worry my friend. I wish you all the best, keep it up!
Thanks for your searching and finding study’s that show the benefit of vitamin C in case of heartproblems. It makes me think that vitamin C can also be used to prevent these problems. Our diets are for most people low in vitamines and minerals nowadays. Lacking a healthy level of vitamine C is probably the standard?
Thank you Sanjay what an very interesting and informative analysis of vit c after heart surgery. love all your great videos about numerous health topics, please keep them coming, and i truly hope your father makes a good recovery. Thank you.
Thank you Doctor for addressing natural treatments for A-fib. I will double my 1000 mg to 2000 mg a day, taken throughout the day. I am also going to prioritize getting a full 8 to 9 hrrs sleep since lack of sleep is a trigger for me. I find these small studies very convincing. The difference in the control group and the treated group is shockingly significant in all the studies you mention! So sorry to hear of your father's illness. Prayers for a quick recovery. 🙏
I have permanent AFib with mild symptoms. i had two cardioversions already but the AFib returns within a couple of hours. Now the third cardioversion is planned for next month. After watching this video i asked the doctor about taking vitamines to prepair for the next cardioversion. He said it was a waste of my money. I am taking it anyway but what is the right dosis to take? Many thanks for doing what you are doing.
I'm treated for AF with Warfarin. I take a CCB (felodipine) and Bisoprolol as well as a stack of vitamins. When I heard that Vitamin C can lead to kidney stones I halved my dose just in case it was true. It wasn't until I saw this vid. that I realised the reason that things had got worse again. I thought it was all the fear and anxiety that brainless politicians can cause but it's because I'd dropped my Vit C ! Today I'm returning to 2 tablets of Pharma Nord 750mg per day which is gentle on the stomach.
In my situation this is pure nonsense. I have taken Vitamin C for over 30 years 2000mg a day In 2015 I ended up in the emergency room , and admitted. My Vitamin C did nothing for my AFIB. My AFIB is in check with 50mg Metroloprol 3x per day, 100 mg Losartin per day, 20mg Xarelto 1 x per day. While vitamins are important for a balanced body, they cannot fix medical issues like AFIB.
I had a chronic arrhythmia. A few years back I started taking a daily dose of Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin B6, Taurine and have not had a problem with it since. All three of these nutrients work to restore normal heart rhythm. I also now take a daily 1,000 mg. Vitamin C for the past year. I used to get irregular heartbeats many times per day. Now, it seems I am cured of that scary problem. I also used to get anxiety, maybe due to the irregular beats. The anxiety and panic attacks have disappeared as well.
Wish you would say how much of the other B6 etc you take. I have taken vitamin C for years but have A fib which got much worse after pacemaker was put in me
In december, most probably associated with a severe upper respiratory tract infection I got Afib for the first time. A cardiologist put me on anti-arytmika etc. . I got short attacks for about 1 hour each time, once every 2 weeks( average). gradually got off the arytmika(profafenone),BUT since I started to add vitamin C, 0,5 gr, 3 times a day, 2 months ago, I have not had any more Afib attacks, none! So many thanks exemplary colleague(I am psychiatrist), as I got the idea from your video!
I use Vitamin C and magnesium every day for my Af. It is so much better that the horrible "medications" my doctor gave me. I don't take them any more and I feel so much better.
Thanks a lot for putting such great content. I am an Indian doctor.I just love your content.They are simple and easy for everyone .so much humanity & act of kindness to learn from you sir.wish your father recovers and heals very soon ❤🙏
A good Doctor possesses understanding and compassion for human nature and its limitations as well as technical and medical knowledge. Sanjay has a big heart!
Thank you for your very interesting videos Dr Gupta. I hope your father is recovering well. I have a question which is, might Vitamin C benefit someone who has SVT, as opposed to AF?
I have been taking 1000mg Vitamin C extended release and 400 Mg BisGlycinate daily. Now my Afib has mild and less than 2%. I am mad that I have to find this information myself and have not been recommended to me by my doctors. All they were waiting for is for my AFib to get bad enough inorder to start me off with blood thinners! WTF!
Peggy M.icsky : You have made that same remark about other videos, . Negative comments like yours are not helpful stop doing it, he's a doctor and knows well whether he is tired or not !
@@valerieobrien5521 There is nothing negative about my comment. Sanjay's been concerned with his father's health and traveling to be with him so I was expressing my concern. I'm sure he's stressed and tired and I'm still praying for him and his family. YOU worry about YOU, not me!
Really interesting. I know one with a few attacks of AF, I will definitely tell him about this. Interesting when I watch videos done by hospitals and health authorities, they only focus on how to fix the numbers or treat symptoms, there isn't a single word or thought about the reason why it develops or why we are seeing more and more people getting this. That is why your channel is so much more interesting. Thanks so much for posting these videos.
The commentary so reflected my experience of AF. Two episodes within a short space of time about two and a half years ago resulted in me taking beta blockers and blood thinners. Since then I have focussed even more on my diet and aim for a low GL intake, have introduced regular 30 minutes daily exercise to raise my pulse rate and also walk every day for c. 1 hour. I ensure that I get enough sleep and try to avoid stress and have been supplementing with vitamns C and D, although this latter has been to improve my immune system, but I'm heartened to hear that I have inadvertently stumbled on a natural aid to improve my condition. And the good news is that I have not had another episode. I have also recently started using Epsom salts in a weekly bath and that has improved noticeably my focus and energy levels and I understand now is also a natural assistant to improving AF. I would also like to add my thanks for all the information on this subject that has been made available through your videos.

Hi, I had pre & post-surgical (CABG X2) a-fib 3years ago. I only recently started taking 1gram of vitamin C b.i.d.. I'm also on 37.5mg beta blocker (metoprolol) b.i.d. Thank you for this video. I will pay more attention to the prevalence of a-fib in light of your remarks about its possible efficacy. I'll be seeing my cardiologist soon and will mention this harmless adjunct to see what he thinks. TY again.
Very interesting. I had a bad case of AF after open heart surgery (quad bypass) that happened a day after surgery. In my case it was a matter of the diuretic I was given flushing all of my potassium out.
etmax1, I was also given a diuretic and now have afib. But the Dr. won’t say if it’s the cause. Do you think your heart will get back to a normal rhythm? I hope it does.
Well for me they just gave me intravenous potassium for a few hows and then gave me a supplement to take home while I was taking the diuretic (3 months). I think whenever you take a diuretic you should have monthly blood tests to keep an eye on this IMHO.
Thank you Dr Gupta. This relates to our conversation the other week, so I will try to take more vit C. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and may your father get well very soon
Shocked at experiments in dogs. Horrible.Surely this could have been done by monitoring people with the condition. That aside I will try vitamin c as I suffer from af.
Very interesting information. Thank you for sharing. You are not only a great doctor, you are a son your father can be proud of. My prayers for his recovery to good health.
I got Afib after a bout with Covid in January that was hard to shake. Never had an episode before this. I find the Vitamin C theory interesting because Covid wreaks it’s havoc in the body by causing oxidative stress. Vitamin C and Vitamin E are both antioxidants which fight oxidative stress.
@@IWearACrown Hi Crystal, It seems that the success rate of an ablation to rid afib is more successful in the early stages of afib, for those who have afib episodes periodically. So I chose to have an ablation and so far so good! I feel so much better!! All glory to God!! Take care and God bless! :)
@@IWearACrown I replied to this several days ago! Was it removed? I wonder! I don't know why it would have been. Sorry... Anyway I am doing great after an ablation! Praise the Good Lord!
As an 86 year man who has had occasional A-Fib since childhood - my mother also had it - and after it got worse with age, though it usually switched to normal after two week period, I had a heart attack (Smoking related I believe, though I'd stopped a year earlier) with the heart attack they put two stents in me and my blood pressure dropped from150/90 before the heart attack down to low 95/60 and eventually approx 106/70 average since. I have fibrillated continually since 2017. Now I'm getting a lot of episodes of almost heart attack dull aches. The doctor increased my Bisoprolol to 7,5mg a day. Can't increase it more because it lowers BP. I've been searching for something natural to help. This video is exactly what I'd hoped to find. Many thanks for this info!!!
@@dougcoleburn1579 Well, I've just had more heart attacks and had another stent for which I am hugely grateful to Queen Elizabeth staff!!! Their dedication is beyond definition and wonderful - this applies to all levels!
I have up ed my Vit C… added turmeric. Stopped my meds and will live and die on my terms..I have very bad Afib for the the past year. Including a stroke with a5 days hosipatal stay…the meds were killing me ..the meds might have caused the stroke ?
If it’s tablets they contain a lot of binders especially calcium carbonate which is (chalk) and it deposits in your arteries over time if your not taking vitamin D3 and K2. I’d say combine vitamin c (powder) make sure it’s L- Ascorbic acid and not just ascorbic acid and take L-lysine with it. These two work together to build collagen, strengthen arteries and pull plaque out of your arteries and vessels. Hope this helps.. ohh also magnesium and potassium are good to take, try get them from food but supplements if necessary. Also MAKE SURE your supplementing with brewers yeast for its B vitamins! the heart valves are kept in proper function with B complex vitamins. :) ✌🏽 best of health everyone
Hi. At present I have AF, pulmonary hypertension, TGA. I already take vitamin C which I think is good for anyone who takes medication. I use the effervescent ones which is usually around £1.50 or less for 20. Also, if I feel unwell I drink pure orange juice at least the whole 1lt carton. I know it's roughly 500 calories but I think the benefits are worth taken it. I'm diabetic now so I do drink less but if I need the orange juice I drink it. I really recommend vitamin C. Thank you for your film with valuable information. Best wishes to you and your family. 💐
For me, I ask the question why? Never heard about afib until 10 years ago or so. Now, commercials and ads all over the place. Chemicals, stress, low minerals in soil or gut issues the primary causes? Anyone in their 40s and 50s ever notice how much stomach bloat is out there? Good luck to all!
It's always interesting to hear about how politics and biases shape science. It's also nice to see a doctor promote a healthy amount of scepticism, critical analysis and patient driven care in spite of these influences. Wishing your father a speedy, full recovery and minimal stress for your family
Dr. Gupta …. THANK YOU! 1st off…. I am praying with all my heart for you, your Father & all concerned! I just got out of the hospital for the 4th time with A-Fib! What do you know about the Watchman procedure??? They lowered my thriroid
I had serious AF and PVC's (Premature ventricular contractions) and two cardiologists and my family doctor strongly encouraged "heart ablation surgery". I declined. I started experimenting with time-restricted-eating (TRE), intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting. Within the first month a frostbite sore/scab that I had for 15 years (not a typo) healed beautifully. In the 8th month I got my CRP retested. It had been "off the charts" - a score of 12 where optimum is less than 1 and "normal" is 1 to 3. After 8 months of daily fasting (my eating window was usually 4 to 6 hours), my CRP was 0.01 - the lab was giddy with excitement and told me they had NEVER seen such a low score. At 70 years of age I am back to what I've done all my life - running, golfing, swimming, camping and biking - to name a few. BUT here's the #1 thing to know and it's the first thing to try: DO NOT EAT AFTER SUNDOWN!!!!! NEVER EVER. Why? Because "eating even nutritious foods (after sundown) promotes serious inflammation" (Dr. Satchin Panda - researcher). I told a stranger that I met at a sports event about this #1 rule. I knew nothing about him. A month later, at another event he recognized me and came up to tell me that he had changed one thing in his life (a long-time insulin taking diabetic). He stopped eating after sundown. He reported that his AM glucose test was 78 - a number, he said, that he had not seen in a LONG time. He felt he might have a very different life in his old age (72+) than what he had been braced for. He also felt he would be soon reducing and then eliminating the drugs he was taking.
Interesting story on your AF and PVC's. Your results are remarkable. Are you taking any naturals? That was a high CRP. Mine got to 70. No fun. Mine is 1.0 now. Thanks
@@cindysmith4998 my Afib is still with me. I exercise and build up my resistance before I play tennis or cycle. I have found out what foods don't work. Wine unfortunately can put me into Afib, so more. Adjustments can help. When I feel winded, I stop and rest. Suppose to have an Ablation, but waiting to see what happens over the next couple months. I do several naturals and they seem to help. Entresto helps with the heart failure. A good night's sleep is critical and staying hydrated. Hope this helps!
After the death of my father , my mother had - at tha age of 70- tones of medical problems and lots of doctors who never even considered that healing could be a possibility. Now , at the age of 80, she is down from all her medications and her doctor has no clue what happened. Sometimes it helps if you have access to free information and can use youre head for thinking. Thanks to all the doctors on YT and ncbi for the publications
God always answers my prayers, and there you are...again, and with help that I need NOW! I have had AF for several years now, but my episodes have been mild, except for last week, when I had such a hard time controlling it. My husband was diagnosed with dementia, and life has become really stressful, but music, and just taking him for s drive helps us both. I love the idea of natural cures, and recently I used food to improve my kidney function. My bloating was not going away. Then my brain clicked when I remembered an article in my research pertaining to right leg swelling, and liver inflammation, or fatty liver. I looked up good liver foods and habits, and bad ones, just as I had done for the kidneys. My bloating is leaving, and that is great, Now, I will boost my C...thank you for being there for me , again. Great info! !
Afib and indeed Aflutter (AFL) has been identified as THE LEADING risk factor in developing severe Covid19. I had an Aflutter more than 4 years ago but have since lost weight, started rigorous exercise and laid off carbs and sugar. I will be sure to add Vitamin C to my daily supplementation. Thanks Dr. Gupta.
Glad I watched! Cardiologist says don’t worry and I’ve had nuclear stress dozens ekg from ER panic attack visits. These ectopic beats are a literal nightmare… Magnesium helped and losing weight and getting in better shape is helping. I have typically 6 or so a day. I dont go into full panic attack but rarely I have panic disorder and take celexa and zanax as needed. I limit the zanax of course but been taking it for over 15yrs it helps in a panic state. I am trying vitamin c tomorrow and appreciate your videos very much it helps reassure me. I pray your dad regains his health soon! Thnks
Best wishes to your dad Dr Gupta. Speedy recovery. I just started taking Vitamin C for my over health. It's only a chewable one I take 2 a day. What is the best one to take? And will this benefit me as I have VT? So I have palpitations constantly.
Liposomal vitamin C is meant to be the best. It goes directly to the cells. It's more expensive than the normal vitamin C but worth it and good for overall health especially in these times. I'm sorry you are in contact AF - is it awful?
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I really don't take much notice anymore from the palps. Only on days when they come like a big kick and long pause do they bother me. I am taking Nebivolol I am on the very low dose. I was on a bigger dose, I decreased this as I hate being on any meds.
Thankyou & bless you. I am glad I found you! Learning about AF helps us to understand what is happening, and how to deal to it especially from a studied cardiologist as yourself! Kind regards for all
We need more doctors like this! He knows so much and I love it that he emphasizes nutrition and natural healing when possible instead of medication with so many side effects. Than you for the wonderful videos.
you are absolutely right. For so long doctors have ignored looking into natural food sources for health promotion, but instead concentrating on prescribing the latest and often expensive medications for patients.
Thank you so much Dr Gupta. You are haven sent. I have an AICD implanted 5 years ago. I often experience irregular heart beat. I do take fruits everyday first thing in the morning. Usually mix fruits. I will try and concentrate more on oranges and other vitamins from now on and monitor the heart beat. I was told to avoid taking grapefruit because of the Atorvastatin that was prescribed. Will update in a month or 2 of the progress. Once again thank you so much. God bless you and your family.
@@kathleenfubler431 I've been taking Vitamin C for a long time. Since 2015 I've needed to attend emergency about once every 10 or 11 months but I haven't needed to go now since October 2019, thank God.
Thank you so much for your knowledge sharing. I hope you inspire other doctors to be more involved in naturally occurring treatments. I have seen that VIT C, B and magnesium can be indicated for helping with AF. I am trying VIT C and will keep you informed. Our soil is so degraded and this leads to low nutrient levels in our foods. Soil health is directly linked to the health of all of us and the animals we care for and eat. Soil heath is the key for all of us to maintain health. I want intelligent and well informed information, thank you for providing this. Best wishes for your Dad, he is very lucky to have a son like you to care for him. Take care. Clare.
I'm a retired cardiologist in India. I'm 81years young I take vit. C everyday for many years. Vitamin D is as you know , is good for cardiovascular health and URI and Covid19. Those with levels of 25 OH vit D level in the blood above 50ngs per milliliter had low incidence of Covid19 infections and when infected had much milder disease and the mortality was very low. But the governments don't do anything about stressing the importantance of ditery supplements.It is unfortunate.
Here I am...trying to calm down after a horrible breathing episode during sleep. These appeared right after I got home from open abdominal gall bladder surgery. I was twenty seven. I will be 76 in June. I developed sleep apnea after years of ER visits, and being told, it was just nerves. That was only partially true. Early in life, I did experience hyperventilating. BUT, after all this, I began to wonder about the vagus nerve, and It's relation to my issue. I read, in a medical journal, that open abdominal surgery, will very likely cause respiratory issues. Bingo! Now, I know I am not crazy. I finally remembered that hyperventilating technique of breathing into a paper bag, to equalize the oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and one episode night, I frantically grabbed my nightshirt, and shoved it over my nose, and mouth, slowly breathing, and the episode gradually improved. I think these occur during unpleasant dreams. Since I now have A Fib, I fear the episodes will be triggered more frequently. Tonight's episode was, I believe, the result of a mild A Fib episode this evening. I have watched your video regarding vitamin C, and A Fib, and I plan to take C more regularly. I love your videos...The ones about high blood pressure, have been so valuable, and reassuring. Thank you. You are my guru.
This is something I found out about just a week ago so I am trying it out, I take 500mg every four hours except for sleeping, then I will take it if I wake to use the restroom then resume in the A.M. no side effects of any kind as yet, but I do seem to have more energy and feel better. Thank you for all you positive and logical information, and my best wishes for your father and family.
This was insightful well presented useful medical information I appreciate your sincere ethical effort to actually practice the ART OF MEDICINE and not a script protocol generated by- dare I say - non medical administrators.....WELL DONE I wish you and your family strength to cope with your fathers dis- ease and wish him comfort and happiness with a caring family to ease him through to good health again
Very interesting info!! Recently Dr. Greger spoke about a study where high school students were given Vit C and it reduced there stress and anxiety and slowed down heart rate. Also think back to the 1940's when a Dr. Walter Kempner cured about 70% of patients with very high blood pressure with a diet of mostly fruit and rice. Where does most vitamin C come from.....FRUIT! all interesting stuff
