Natural Medicine and the Heart

[MeganMN]

I am not going to get too excited about anything at this point, but after my last mess with drug induced vascilitis, I met with my Integrative Medicine doc on Monday.

I have made a few changes and added some supplements and the short term results are a little bit crazy.

She had me add some major antiinflammatories, so I am taking Colchicine, added BCQ (Boswella, Curcumen, Quercetin), and I am also taking GABA/Theanine at night for my nervous system. For the last three days, I have had almost no PACs, SVT, or Tachycardia. I am hesitant to say that it is better, but I also know that I have had no relief for over 18 months. I will keep you posted. I am very, very curious....

Sounds very promising. Keep me posted

Just keep persevering & success or not a post here is of interest. Integrative docs are likely to be the future so you are well ahead 🙌.

It's all sounding very positive so far Megan. Let us know how you are at a later date please.

What exactly is "integrative medicine?" Thanks.

Fingers crossed! Sounds a great combo. Interestingly I’ve read a few articles mentioning Colchicine and heart health lately. And I too would love to hear an update as you go.

Hi Megan, I am a big fun of integrative holistic medicine.Having paroxysmal Afib and being on anti arrhythmic and anticoagulant drugs for years made produced side effects, and I wander what was your diagnoses and what medication induces your health problems., including PACs, Tachycardia, SVT. In any way, I wish you luck !

I went to Chinese holistic dr. And he gave me the pack of 17 dry herbal mix to boil and drink.No any BAD supplements

Hesitate to start. Going to learn the description of each herb first🤔

Thanks

Wishing you great success for better health and less side effects.

I just started consulting with Naturopath. First working on my acid reflux issues, hoping to get off the Acid reflux meds…then my A-Fib ,etc.

Hi, I think in UK Colchicine is for short term or as a pip. whenever I've been given it for gout its for 5 days only

[MeganMN in reply to 2learn]

I had to take it for 6 months for Pericarditis after my last EP study and am now back on it for 3 more months for Verapamil induced Vasculitis. It wasn't specifically for the ectopics!!

Hi! Happy for you, fingers crossed 🤞 What kind of GABA/L-Theanine supplement do you have? I used to take this one GABA for sleep amazon.com/GABA-Supplements..., it also has Magnesium, and I remember it was good, I slept like a baby.
