I developed atrialfibrilation in 2008 as a side-effect of having to take Cipro. It had gotten to the point that I was having 2 to 3 quite severe episodes per week, and I was on Cardizem, Digoxin, and Metoprolol. I went on line and studied to see what all I could do naturally to correct or stop this problem. I discovered that walking a minimuin of 3 miles per week was a great posibility of doing this. I am also a born again Christian, and as such followed the Biblical injunction to call the elders of the church to have them pray for me. I know that healing from the Lord also includes taking care of my body the way He has asked me to do. I quit Caffeine, years ago, as well as meateating, and the Lord delivered me from cigarettes 18 years ago. In August 2013 I started walking. What a difference! The last atrialfibrulation that I had was September 1, 2013. I am off the Digoxin, and the Metoprolol. I still take 120 mg. of Cardizem a day, and I am hoping to come off of it as well. I thank the Lord for the natural things He has provided for us for the body to work to heal itself! I also thank him for Dr.s like Dr. Marcum who combine the use of God’s natural with Modern Medicine, and a knowledge to know how to do that. I thank you so very much for your faithfulness to our Creator. Sincerely, Martha Ledbetter
