Afib, SVT management with Magnesium and Amino Acids

Afib, SVT management with Magnesium and Amino Acids How I got my old life back, post my decade of Afib and SVT (AtriaL Tachycardia) These are termed the "Core4Base" daily regimen.

Just Afib and SVT info, what’s worked for me thus far, nothing being sold and NO ads. AFIB, SVT MANAGEMENT WITH MAGNESIUM AND AMINO ACIDS-ABOUT info, created: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2019, updated: Satr, March 23rd, 2024

Since end of summer 2018, i have been Afib and SVT episode free (that's 5 and a half years and counting, thus far) That is HUGE for anyone affected by Afib (Heart or Cardiac Arrhy

thmia) and or Tachycardia (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia or SVT) .. Prior to that i suffered from paroxysmal Afib with paroxysmal SVT (Atrial tachycardia) for roughly a decade. Thus far I have been keeping episode free with a very simple and researched daily regimen. This page is for sharing that regimen and the dosages that have been working for me. I have also been able to eliminate my prescription meds of Daltiezem (Cardizem), Lisinopril and aspirin (this with my cardio team being kept fully informed). The regimen (Just for Afib/SVT relief) consists of Liquid Ionic Magnesium ( a type of magnesium) , Taurine (all the following supplements in bulk powder form that are then weighed out) , Citrulline (as a better form of more readily absorbable Arginine) , & CoQ10. The daily dosages & methods are listed in freely downloadable and printable pdf files in a GoogDrv peer-shared resources folder that is detailed in 1 of the earlier posts on how to download and print out. .. In short, THIS is what has worked for me in eliminating my Afib and SVT thus far and getting my “old life back” , what i was able to enjoy before my Afib days.. For the curious the dosages JUST for this Afib/SVT regimen of mine are as thus -- and this DOES NOT include the “natural blood thinner alternative” I also take to keep me off the statins and prescription med blood thinners. That portion is also included in the regimen (consists of Nattokinase, Vitamin E, a generic Pycnogenol alternative, and Hawthorn extract), and I also take the Linus Pauling protocol, also listed on my regimen, of Vit C, Lysine and Proline for its “Drano” effect. --
The Primary Afib/SVT regiment daily dosages are these and one could divide them up into halves (twice daily, what i take now for convenience) 3x or even 4x a day, but that gets cumbersome with my schedule.. Here are the items and daily associated dosages tht I take: Liquid Ionic Magnesium at 400-600mg/day, Taurine at 20 GRAMS/day (split up into multiple dosages per day) , Citrulline (Arginine substitute) at 6 GRAMS/day, and CoQ10 at 2.4Grams/day.

Keep getting asked about so called 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢-𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 (𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬) ..
This directly is also associated with Afib as well. I just turned 67 and i've been dealing with this (SVT-triggered Afib) since 2010, and finally eliminated it for the most part in Summer of 2018 with liquid ionic Magnesium, TAurine, Citrulline and CoQ10 as detailed in the Core4Base and also the "REDUCE-CORE4" protocols.

SO .. Adopted a "double - whammy" protocol each morning of both "𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐨"+"𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨".
Meaning:
𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐞 + 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐞

These represent the primary remediation to keep "Fibrinogen turning into Fibrin" during an AFib episode thus preventing a clot forming and getting "jettisoned" to the brain, thus getting a stroke ..

This is because in AFib, the primary stroke danger is (as researched):

"When the atria are fibrillating and not contracting properly, blood swirls slowly in the left atrial appendage. This stasis activates the coagulation cascade, converting fibrinogen (a soluble blood protein) into insoluble fibrin threads.

That fibrin net enmeshes red blood cells, forming a clot that can break off and fly to the brain.

This is a cardioembolic stroke — the clot comes from the heart itself, and it’s fibrin-driven. Multiple large trials have proven that anticoagulants (which reduce fibrin formation) slash AFib stroke risk by ~65-70%, while antiplatelet drugs like aspirin have a much smaller, borderline effect. That single fact tells you the clot is fibrin-based, not plaque/platelet-based"

Of course, the above comes from the "big pharma" influence .. which DOES frame the problem correctly, but then goes right into "herding us" unto their big-pharma “medicated4Life corral”, so2speak..

For natural alternatives to Anti-coagulants , or so called "blood-thinners", which address the more traditional arterial placque stroke risk .. I take 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐄 as a bulk loose powder + a 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐲𝐜𝐧𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐥, wat I mean by generic, is that the generic name for it is 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭. it's oft used as an Aspirin substitute, as in , instead of a daily Aspirin ..

The effective Natto daily dose at almost 11,000 FU/daily has strong evidence ! (use Ai if curious to dig into this)

Both "Natto" & "Lumbro" are very effective anti-Fibrin type supplements and they work in tandem thru complementary pathways rather than being competing or redundant. (Lumbro is about 30x as effective in a slightly different and complementary manner)

This is the essence of my daily "naturals" (as opposed to prescribed RX meds, which i am on 𝐍𝐎 𝐑𝐱 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫) anti-coagulant (aka so-called "blood thinners) regimen or protocol 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲, in my veggie smoothie, of more "natural" anticoagulants such as Pycnogenol (generically ths is "French Maritime Pine Bark Extract" ) + Vitamin E in loose powder form as well.. This of course is combined in my daily veggie smoothie with my (anti-Afib, anti-Tachycardias and anti-Arrhythmic) "𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐄-𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐄𝟒" daily regimen. (which is the basic 4 supps that keep most of us OUT of Afib and or Arrhythmias and or SVT or Tachycardias)

The attached picture, shows my morning routine upon awaking, i have hi-Lited to emphasize the areas i have researched about the delivery methodology in the attached photo i feel most strongly about it being effective with ..

After having looked at this topic for awhile, i have come to the conclusion that us Afib'ers (whether Paroxysmal or Persistent), need to 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 be on Fibrin reduction control more than other types of so called "bloodthinners" bcs the dangers of clots have to do MORE with a prevalent Fibrin producing clot danger than a plaque type more traditional danger ..
I have research on this topic which i am hoping to finish putting together a post . -be well, just my 2 cents & iMHO and YMMV of course ..
One last thing:
I get my Nattokinase as bulk loose powder and it's kinda reasonably priced like that, I put 1/16th of a “rounded” teaspoon measure (my wife's baking spoons measures come in handy here) into a chilled cup of spring water from the Frig. (temperature too warm possibly de-naturating the Natto)

NOT tap water, BCS it contains Fluoride + it's also Chlorinated

For the Lumbrokinase, I've done the digging, there's only a single reputable brand. "Canada RNA BoLuoke" name brand solely. t'Ain't cheap. 120 capsules, is a 2 month supply. 1 bottle of 120 caps is $170 USD. So it comes out to bout a Grand$Plus USD per year..

𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐄-𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐄𝟒 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧 (𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐚𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔)

REDUCE-CORE4 daily regimen (or protocol) is the reduced version of the CORE4 daily regimen or protocol, adapted & adopted in late 2021 to 2022 AFTER being on CORE4 from Fall of 2018 till late 2021. I have been getting asked about this,

The goal was SAME; keep Afib & SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia) STiLL ELIMINATED while still adhering to “The 2006 LAF Conference Study & Presentation” guidelines and also still adhere to Dr Carolyn Dean’s reccms as to Magnesium intake (specifically a form of Magnesium termed a liquid ionic type) from her book, “The Magnesium Miracle” (Pls note that i am not endorsing Dr Carolyn Dean’s brand of her online store’s brand of liquid Magnesium, its way too expensive .. i actually use a generic form, from another vendor since 2019).

The original CORE4 document is also here on this FB Page under the 2021 Posts.

PLS NOTE that ONLY after getting some thorough annual blood testing (Plasma AMINO ACIDs ANALYSIS) as to the levels of critical Amino Acid levels (like Taurine and Arginine) did i determine to experiment & eventually step down the levels of CORE4, Partially becs being on the elevated daily dosages of Taurine and Citrulline was causing a bit too much disruption w my daily routine bcs of teh associated & “dreaded” and inconvenient “Laxative effect”.

Also annual blood testing of RBC Magnesium level (RED BLOOD CELL count, as opposed to the much more common “serum” Mg level test)

Brief 7+ years of Success summary in Eliminating my own Afib (Afib also coupled with SVT, Supra Ventricular Tachycardia)

A brief synopsis of my personal progress, success & journey during last 7+ years..

Eliminated my AFib coupled w SVT in the Fall of 2018 naturally (as in NOT thru medicine) .. Prior to that; Went thru a dreaded decade of having it during my fifties. Now at almost 67 with 7+ years of success, staying VERY VERY active & fit, feeling like i’m in my forties again AND on NO RX prescription meds since Jan of 2019 ..

Expansion:

Having reached a personal milestone of 7 years of success as of last Sept (Sept of 2025), felt it time to give a snapshot of my journey & progress.

As of January 2026, i am now 66 yrs old and turning 67 this coming April. Looking back to my very early fifties, circa 2010, was the start of my “dreaded decade of AFiB”, during that time my condition kept getting progressively worse, was hospitalized and put on meds and diagnosed w Afib coupled w SVT.

Years BEFORE Fasting phase (found success but did not have Fasting integrated into my life as of yet):

Found success in Sept of 2018 after an especially harsh summer and of then being shown my future via traditional western medico approaches of types of ablation, a maze or mini maze surgical procedure and or an implantable device (ICD).. continued use of Prescribed Rx medications and possibly more meds and increasing dosages , .. etc ..

Also possible early forced retirement (from my jobs that included heavy physical work at times), BUT years ahead of my planned retirement at 65.

Studied all of these options closely (my wife is a nurse, RN MSN), we said a big NO to all of them and pursued solely natural alternatives.

Discovered a lot thru online peer support groups & “Dr Google”.. identified the work of George Eby & Dr. Halcomb of having presented at the 2006 LAF (Lone Atrial Fibrillation) conference with their work using Amino Acid supplements of Taurine and Arginine and also discovered very quickly the benefit of substituting Citrulline over Arginine.

Discovered the work of Dr Carolyn Dean and the critical role of Magnesium and started using a generic brand of a form of Magnesium known as a liquid ionic type.

Discovered the work of Dr Stephen Sinatra and the pivotal role of CoQ10.

Collected these 4 components into a daily regimen termed “Core4” (thoroughly explained on this blog extensively)

In 2018 .. Also thru Lifestyle changes & triggers management (as in NO alcohol & NO caffeine), exercise, diet and a daily regimen of “Core4”

in Sept of 2018 i dove into “the deep end of the pool” meaning max dosages of the so called “Core4” as mentioned here, along with triggers management of No alcohol and NO caffeine, life style changes and exercise and diet .. initially split up the max dosages as described in the 2006 Study amongst 4 daily veggie smoothies to minimize sugar intake.

Found initial success in Sept of 2018 in eliminating my long standing Afib & SVT (within the very first week of consuming maximum dosages of the 2006 LAF Study published by George Eby & Dr Halcomb) study& kept on going w that..

Stayed on this for bout 3 years till 2021 with PLENTY of laxative effect (run to the bathroom, so2speak).. but the Afib coupled w SVT was eliminated for the most part for all practical purposes, had some slight scares but no more full blown episodes lasting for almost a day, bcs THAT was eliminated..

in 2021 i switched to a “Reduced version” , termed “REDUCE-CORE4”.. That is also explained in this personal journaling and peer sharing blog.

2024, refinements and planned retirement at 65.

In 2024: Game changer yet again, started with prolonged periodic Fasting:

in 2024 i took up fasting and this was a game changer yet again, did 3-5 sustained days “wet” fasting + daily electrolytes (as in water-only) during 2024, every month.. noticed being significantly better .. and kept really studying sustained prolonged periodic fasting.

2025; GAME changer yet again and another breakthru..

Getting older, turned 66 and yet felt much better and lighter on my feet ..

and in very beginning of 2025 transitioned to “hard-DRY-Fasting”, meaning nothing thru the mouth, .. every month or every other month of 3 or 5 or 7 sustained days (7 days only once per year thus far, perhaps will increase to twice per year) of what’s termed “hard Dry Fasting”..

“hard Dry Fasting”, BUT with “proper recovery from Fasting”, bcs recovery is 70% of retained benefits of the Fasting, whereas the Fasting days represent only 30% of the derived benefits.
This has again enabled me to only take the REDUCE-CORE4 reduced dosages BUT NOW, only 2-3 times per week, still enjoying success without incident, — some slight scares but easily handled via “Legs Up on Wall” technique-maneuver wen needed to alleviate the scare (This maneuver is also explained on this journaling blog) —

still totally RX Prescription meds free..

staying very very active & fit for the most part, retired but “working for myself now” , harder than ever :-)) , doing physical work like construction and residential renovations like i did earlier in life and keeping up with the younger guys .. still ! :-)) ..

will be turning 67 in a cpl months in April 2026.

A note on meals intake / food consumption

In 2024 during “wet” prolonged periodic Fasting of monthly 3-5 days of Fasting , during the non-fasting times, (as in normal eating days, vast majority of each month) .. tried to also implement OMAD (one meal per day), struggled with this, ended up failing.. consciously struggled with snacking and ended up falling back to mostly 2 meals a day for the most part..

In 2025, HUGE change.. Mostly effortless OMAD now (a single meal a day) with just limited healthy snacking of mostly produce, veggies and very limited sugar intake.. incredible change in exerting NO effort in sticking to a single meal a day.. its like my aging body is using food MUCH more efficiently.. vacating (sitting on toilet) at least twice per day, very efficient from what i’ve studied.. , (also added other supplements, to help with aging, not directly related to Afib/SVT, like Curcumin, Resveratrol, Supralina, + a few more) ..

Something has changed and i feel a lot healthier yet again.. i do not need as much food intake nor carbs and even tho i’m not a “Keto” adherent.. i verified that i stay in ketosis longer after a “hard DRY Fasting” and consume from my bodily stores much more now and i do limit my carbs but dont have to struggle near as much with effort as i did during my “wet fasting” phase of 2024 ..

–very best to all.
