This information on magnesium has been known for over 30 years. When I get PVCs (heart flutters), I take magnesium to stop them. Artificial D3 in milk products inhibits the absorption of magnesium.
I had surgery for Heart flutters back in December. Heart flutters is usually called atrial fibrillation.
That procedure completely knocked out the atrial fibrillation.
Basically the procedure identifies the neurons in the heart that are beating out of sequence and cauterizes them. You have maybe 100,000 neurons in the heart. The procedure identifies the 10-20 neurons that are firing out of sequence and stops them from firing. There are two procedures for this. the first is more common and has been done for about 8 years. It uses radio waves to do the ablation (that is the cauterizing of the misfiring neurons.) The success rate on the first try for radio wave ablation is roughly 50%. The second is called cryogenic ablation. It uses deep cold to stop the misfiring neurons. This procedure is only about 3 years old but the success rate of this second procedure is 70%.
The second one, cryogenic ablation is the one I did.
You’ll want to have an insurance policy to do the procedure. I had a high deductible so my out of pocket was about 6k. But the total cost without insurance would have come to roughly 50k. Make sure the outfit doing the procedure is in your insurance groups NETWORK. This is really key. If the provider is outside your insurance network you’ll get stuck with most of the bill.
You’ll also want to find the best surgeon for the procedure in your area. The ones that are the best are the ones that are doing the procedure 1-2 times@ week.
The devices for cryogenic ablation are provided by Medtronic. You can call Medtronic and ask them who they have provided the devices to in your area. You can also go on google and plug in cryogenic ablation for atrial fibrillation. And then from there go to look for surgeons in your area.
I tried a bunch of different stuff including Magnesium to stop my affib last year. None of it worked. The Affib only got worse.
Now I don’t have to worry about it at all. I’m back to doing very vigorous physical activity. I don’t have any symptoms like being short of breath or faintness. I feel like I’m back in my 40’s or there about.
I didn’t know that about D3.
I take 5000IU of Colicaciferol D3 daily. You think that could be causing a magnesium absorption issue?
