I had atrial fibrillation for two solid years. My cardiologist wanted me to drink 64 ounces of fluids every day.

I got tired of water, so started drinking 64 ounces of sodium free V8 juice every day.

My atrial fibrillation went away after two weeks and has not returned. It has been 124 days and counting.

Turns out low sodium V8 is loaded with potassium. Evidently the reason I had afib was because of a potassium deficiency. I now drink two 64 ounce bottles of low sodium V8 a week to maintain my potassium level.

Before my afib went away, my cardiologist was talking about a pacemaker and/or ablation, but I cured it myself with potassium.

Turns out this is not an unknown cure. I talked to somebody who went to the hospital for scheduled surgery but he had afib so they put him on a potassium drip overnight and the next morning the afib was gone and he had the surgery.

Potassium costs nothing. Hospitals make money by installing pacemakers and performing ablations.

If you have afib, you should try getting a lot of potassium. It can’t hurt you. I did the calculation, and 64 ounces of low sodium V8 contains 14 grams of potassium chloride, which is equivalent to about a teaspoon.

Potassium chloride is cheap. It tastes terrible, even if you mix it with something. If you can’t afford 64 ounces of low sodium V8 a day, you could try a teaspoon of potassium chloride every day for a couple of weeks.

” Evidently the reason I had afib was because of a potassium deficiency. “

And the Doc couldn’t figure it out cause he didn’t check or didn’t want to.

Thanks for the info on LS V-8 for AFIB. I had AFIB prior to my ablation, and I have been AFIB free since the procedure last April. I also have LS V-8 in my refrigerator, but I don’t drink it regularly as I should. Guess I just found a new Resolution to add to my list.

I wonder if blood pressure medications mess up potassium absorption?
Thank you for this post! I’m going to do some research!!
