GI Health and AF

Has anyone considering an ablation or just as a good health practicel ever addressed Candida and GI and gut issues, which then had a positive affect on AF/syncope?

Candida produces Acetaldehyde (ethanol) which inflames and attacks cardiac myocytes. It is also well established that H-pylori, via the vagal, can cause and amplify AF expression.

Gut issues have a bad effect on my heart but I do not think medics will treat with that in mind.

I am convinced about the connection GI wise. When in hosp last month with what was assumed cardiac I was instead referred to gastro. Consultant in acute medicine suggested vagal nerve GI connection and af all in same breath. I am awaiting gastro consult and will report back.

Test for H-Pylori it can trigger AF. If for no other reason to eliminate it. Also, you need to study gut health with candida cleanse, sour foods, probiotics, etc. When I sweep candida once every 3-4 months I hammer the biofilm with will release neurotoxins that will cause a frontal lobe headache that will bring you to your knees. I chase it with 1 gram of bentonite clay which within 10-15 minutes stops the Herx effect in its tracks. I also use the Attogram system which combines psyllium, carpialic acid and colloidal bentonite.
