Kinesiology?

[BigArnie]

Hi folks, has anyone got any experience (positive or negative) with kinesiology for Afib? Many thanks.

As with all complimentary therapies it will depend on the cause of your AF.

Kneisiology is a strange therapy and helped me with all sorts of things but more on the psychological side. In my opinion it’s not the therapy itself so much as the practitioner and the working relationship which affects healing. I guess it could help reduce stress and maybe identify triggers but I wouldn’t put faith in it stopping AF.

I still had AF.

Thanks CD. My first session on Thursday was focussed on identifying any food intolerances as I've been having worse stomach issues, which always results in more episodes. The results actually seemed to quite accurately match many of my Afib triggers and there were genuinely a few "Aha!" moments when I realised that I had been kidding myself about the impact of some of my favourite foods (raspberries ) Frankly I am rather dubious about the "science" here, but I take it as I find it, so am willing to give the advice a try and she has been recommended by someone that I trust. She also "identified" a worm infection, which I think is also plausible so I shall take the relevant pill from the chemist to get rid of anything that may be lurking. Finally she also recommended a probiotic and digestion support, which again seems pretty sensible. I do tend to agree with your comment about the individual practitioner being key.

I’ve have had first level training in kinesiology and found it fascinating, yes it worked. If you don’t connect with any medical practitioner the outcome my not be as successful as you’d wish, this can be due to your own resistance too. You can create your own healing or ill health, the mind is a powerful energy.

I’m a trained Complementary therapist in various modalities for over 25 years.

Agreed, I think the connection/belief can be very important.

I proved it to a skeptical patient

Not scientific at all but each to their own. Best not to exclude any main category of food from your diet. If it seems sensible advice, then the practitioner may have some sense. Good luck. Hard to imagine raspberries as a negative!

I tend to agree with your assessment of the science, but 2 weeks or so in and it seems to be working very well for me - although I have a related theory about the weight loss that this plan has precipitated that I have just posted.

[LaceyLady in reply to Hidden]

Science can’t prove some things. The body is very complex

Keep it up and please report back. This approach may work or indirectly help by leading you in a direction you would not have taken without it.

[BigArnie in reply to secondtry]

Secondtry, I think you may have hit the nail on the head! The treatment/nutrition plan that she came up with, plus some tweaks of my own, have led to some decent weight loss and feeling much better, with much less AFib, albeit only 2 weeks in. But, perhaps even more importantly I think it has led me to discover a significant link between my weight and the frequency of my Afib episodes over the last 3 years - please check out my recent post and let me know what you think!
