What I Discovered that Helped my A-Fib

Until recently I was in almost constant A-Fib (atrial fibrillation). About 2 months ago I started taking one hawthorn berry capsule (565 mg) daily after reading that hawthorn is a heart medication often used in Europe. My latest EKG showed a normal heart rhythm. and the four heart checks before that showed only one instance of A-Fib. I haven't experienced any side effects that I'm aware of. My pulse rate is closer to normal, too.
Just thought I'd pass this along. Your results may vary.

    Supplements such as hawthorn can interact with prescribed medications. Please discuss ALL of your medications with your physician.

    I don’t disagree at all with what you said. I’m just a guy who distrusts big pharma and would rather use a natural supplement instead. While it’s true that certain prescription medications are Benicial and even lifesaving, if I find a supplement that works for me I’ll continue using it. The proof is in the numbers ( more normal heart rate in my case). Again, your point is well taken.
