[FONT="]I am just starting my study about the importance of magnesium; but from what I have already learned, it is of vital importance to everyone, yet most of us do not get enough magnesium in our diets, and we do not recognize the symptoms as being from a lack of magnesium. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Most of you know, I have had a-fib, tachycardia, and other heart arrythmias for many years, I think stemming from a serious auto accident that I was in back in 1991. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]By 2014, my heart was in total heart failure, with an ejection fraction of about 23%, and was in a-fib constantly. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The cardiologist sent me for an ablation, and this worked for almost 2 years, and then I started having episodes again. Last summer, they did another ablation, and the doctor said that it was the last one they can do, and the next step would be a pacemaker. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Since then, I have had episodes of tachycardia, and it has not really responded to medications. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I do NOT want to have any more heart procedures, and I have been reading, looking for what can help the heart get better. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]This led me to magnesium, and after some preliminary study, I stopped taking the cal/mag/zinc that i had been taking and got a 400mg magnesium supplement instead. I started taking it twice a day, and am now taking it 3 times per day, and have ordered 500 mg tablets. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Since I started taking the magnesium, my heart has not even had one bad little flutter, and it has been beating with a steady rhythm, night and day. [/FONT]
[FONT="]It seems to me like it even feels stronger, and I have only been taking the magnesium for less than a week now. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]While reading, I learned that many of the other illnesses and pain that we have can also be caused by magnesium deficiency, and since the effects of it are so varied and prolific, I wanted to start a thread about magnesium deficiency, and I will add more as I learn more about this mineral. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]There are some really good books and videos on this topic, but I wanted to start out with just a short video that give a small overview of magnesium, what it does, and what happens when we are deficient. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Dr. Carolyn Dean has written a book called “The Magnesium Miracle” (which I am now reading) and also has videos on youtube, if you want to watch. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I didn’t post one here because they are over an hour long, but worth the time to watch if you are interested in learning more about magnesium deficiency.
