Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Support Group
Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia) which involves the two small, upper heart chambers (the atria). Heart beats in a normal heart begin after electricity generated in the atria by the sinoatrial node spread through the heart and cause contraction of the heart muscle and pumping of blood.
When I post, it is just to let others what worked for me (the natural methods) so that others have an option to see if it is a possible avenue of investigation for them to look into. I offer it strictly as a "take it or leave it". Some things may seem a little weird, like using a medical intuitive to get help, but it worked for me and I note such in case readers here have not heard of that option and may want to investigate it. I'm actually an electrical engineer and it's a big stretch for me to even admit that any method other than the scientific method of statistical testing is of benefit. Or that other medical approaches can get results, like homeopathic methods. But I investigated, tried them and they did help. I sometimes wondered if my posting might have been deleted considering I was describing an approach that was way outside the medical or scientific "norm".
I like what Pacyetep wrote in describing eg's one message. eb seemed to go way beyond "what worked for him". But as soon as it gets verbally abusive - how does that help anybody? I didn't see the personal attacks, but I too am glad of the the monitor and removal of offensive opinions and personal attacks.
I say thanks to the Admin also.
I'm also very grateful to the administrators for removing a terrible negative in such a positive forum. In forums like this we may not know each other personally like those in our immediate lives but our time here builds unique friendships as we help each other through this condition. No one wants to have their friends attacked and disrespected and it's clear by the response of our member/friends during this problem that we're truly here for each other on many levels.

OK, so I'm away for a few days and I miss yet another epic DS forum battle.
Well, I'm glad the real men here on DS (evidently) came to the defense/rescue of CLane and company.
I'll have to develop an app. to alert me of these types of posts when they occur!
;)

Yeah, you missed a good one....a new member was trying to educate us about the homeopathic way to cure afib...but the dupes and lackeys of the big pharmaceutical companies (Petey) wouldn't have any of it. Meanwhile, I ate a 40 pound bag of bentonite to make darn sure I was cured....maybe I should have spread that out over TWO meals...sorry you missed the fun. It was actually pretty exciting there for awhile!
