Intermittent fasting in itself is extremely Healing. Also by totally ditching Sugar a lot of inflammation will be eliminated from your body. And yes, Magnesium will calm all your muscles including your heart!!😉

@@YorkCardiology Thank you so much. I have this problem for awhile so your information is very welcome. I will try VitC. My BP is low in the morning but goes high as the day goes on.
I am a physician in Alabama with a history of vagal paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for 18 years. I started magnesium glycinate, six months ago, and it has greatly reduced my episodes. After adding vitamin C, I am essentially cured. I am no longer sensitive to many of the known factors that would sit off an episode. Thank you so much for your continued interest and research on these topics.
I would be so interested in knowing what are the triggers. I'm.80, Irish normally living in Switzerland but right now in Spain on vac 7:25 ation. Just called a doctor for an Afib episode. Thank you😊
Sudden changes in position, sleeping on left side, esophageal irritation (eating too late, eating too much), alcohol--even half a beer or half glass of wine, were some of my triggers. I recommend "pill in a pocket" to end episodes.
I use 750/mag glycinate and 500/vit C. I also take 100 mg of flecainide and 12.5 of metoprolol an hour before bedtime since my episodes typically start just as I am falling asleep. They are much less frequent now with the supplements.
So sorry about your Dad! Hope he is better! I have a question for you! I need some advice so I will go on your web site when I can and hopefully you can help me! I had a heart ablation today and parts of my heart that were causing my racing heart (SVT) were detected, but before they could be treated my heart went into AFib and the heart ablation was stopped! Now the surgeon wants to repeat the procedure but I would have the be on blood thinners 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after and my experience with many of the blood thinners is a horror story! I don’t know what to do!
I hate the thought of putting those beagles through experiments ! We should not use innocent animals to try out treatments. that are for humans. I hope the animal kingdom also benefits from the findings . I have witnessed experiments on our fellow creatures at University in the Bio lab !
One of the only cardiologists that understands all aspects of our heart problems ! A real professional as well as explaining problems in an understandable manner, Many Thanks
I have Afib have proccedure but I am not totally cured. I have the lower beat while at rest and the higher beat while on motion can I ask my cardiologist to give me the Flecainide small doses pill in a pocket?
What an eloquent and convincing explanation of this hypothesis. His calm and balanced presentation alone helped my afib ( well sort of) Anyway regardless of big studies or not I’m giving this therapy a try as I have a pacemaker being implanted next week and apparently afib is not helpful for best results. Glad my son forwarded me this link. Hope it goes well with your dad mate.
Dr. Gupta I am a nurse and had not heard of this. I will pass this onto my family members, friends, patients and cohorts! Very beneficial, non-invasive, and inexpensive modality. I am so sorry to hear about your father. You are a great son. I will keep him in prayer 🙏
LOL, good luck with that. I'm thrilled you're so open minded, but my experience with Dr's, nurses and others is they will simply hear "Vitamin" and reject it. Especially nurses. I had an argument with one nurse who claimed Vit D did nothing as far as preventing the Flu. . .I asked her "have you read the studies?" Her response was to ignore this and say, "well, Im a nurse, so. . ." as if that ended the conversation, lol.
@@Colstonewall I'm also a nurse and I believe totally in vitamins and nutrition, but my training was more like indoctrination. They're taught to follow policies and orders and it's very challenging to learn and do all that is required. It's better to just say how well it worked and let them file it away for their knowledge later on. She should have been more curious and kind to you though :)
@@Savannah-ed4rv Well, thank you for acknowledging my 'opinion.' My only goal in telling that particular nurse and others was to help. I had no other motive. I've been so helped by Vitamins and Herbs that I want everyone to know, for their own good. But that particular nurse, it was her arrogance that pissed me off. Had I not been at work that day (when we had the discussion) I would have really told her off. Anyways, I could go on for days about this topic, so I digress! You have a great day, Savannah!!
My personal observation is, if you educate patients it will always result in better treatment because patients can explain better about their symptoms and take better care of themselves and it makes doctors' life a bit easier. One very common example can be most of the patient doesn't even understand the difference between chest pain related to the heart issue and confuse it with gas or acidity related pains.. so doctors need to go through a series of tests and find out the actual problem.. sometimes people get traumatized with very simple health issue whereas some times they just ignore very serious issue and end up in ER at the eleventh hour. Doctors should reduce the gap between patients and them. The way you explain things and communicates is definitely praiseworthy that many doctors do not do. Respect and best wishes to you. If I can help you in any way with your noble journey, please let me know.
I am so pleased to see a honest ,humble doctor with humane qualities. Your scientific approach to the commercialized medical practice is commendable. Your focus on patient- driven medicine rather than protocol driven is highly appreciated. Keep up ur efforts to educate the people and patients!! Vest wishes. Dr T. Shivanandappa Mysore, India.
I had an American friend, Dr. Alton Olson and his wife Ruth who operated a field clinic for decades in or near Mysore, India. They are retired now but I believe his son Nathan might still be serving in that area.
Protocol driven medicine of late is funded by huge investors/big pharma and disguised as “evidence” based medicine and has become “check box “ medicine . Studies now can be designed to “ fail” certain inexpensive treatments or procedures or out of the box ideas but people say they work so who do we believe? The patient or a journal under regulatory capture.

Dr. Gupta you are an awesome humanitarian. This world needs more physicians like you. Many thanks for putting out these valuable videos. I was recently diagnosed with Afib and find them most valuable. Keeping you, your father and family in prayers. God bless you.
I had no heart issues until at age 81 it9 was discovered I had afib when I went to the hospital for a out patient procedure. I have no symptoms in afib. I was prescribed eliquis and metoprolol. I was on zero medication prior to this. I do not drink or smoke and am not overweight. No hig blood pressure or other difficulties except for osteo arthrites which has caused some discomfort and effected my range of motion recently. Sorry for the long story. I want to treat things naturally as much as possible. I found the doctors advice very helpful. Thank you. Since covid I am working at home on telehealth as a family therapist. I have been in this profession for more than 25 years and find that helping clients travel within to find the answers to their lives the most satisfying part of my work. I appreciate when other professionals respect people as individuals. We are not a dx. Take care
Thanks for sharing this info Dr. Gupta, I’ve had A Fib for almost 20 years, it was discovered at 46 I’ll be 66 this year. I will try the Vit C and report back. Thanks again. I wish all the best for your Dad
Thanks as always Dr - have paroxsysmal af and take 3000 mgs Vitamin C daily - no afib in the last 3 years - more importantly prayers for your father and family!
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I just use Jamieson brand chewable Vitamin C (I live in Canada where it is a major brand) - I used to have afib attacks 3 or 4 times per year - they would last anywhere from an hour to at most 2 hours - I used a pill in the pocket approach to terminate attacks with ativan and inderal
I'm sorry to hear your dad is unwell and send healing prayers for his recovery. Your knowledge is so appreciated. You're a lovely caring man. Thank you for all you do.
I’ve tried VIT C 2000mg daily for 2 weeks and the AF has GONE!! I am tired and my chest feels a bit sore but every day I’m improving after AF 24/7 after a virus. RESEARCH IS SO NEEDED for this as it’s cheap and accessible for all.
I am heartbroken to hear that your father is not doing well. I am sending healing energy and lots of LOVE to your father, and strength to you! You are an ANGEL on this earth! And we thank your father (and mother) for bringing you to life and instilling the compassion that you give to your patients and the world. I always look forward to your life-changing videos, which have helped me immensely. I am still hoping to have a consultation with you, since I am dealing with an undiagnosed heart issue. Much LOVE and PEACE for the speedy recovery of your father! 🙏🏼✨💖
If healing prayer, healing energy have any thing to do with disease and treatment there should not have been hospitals and doctors but only prayer houses all over every where...🙂
@@rssiddharth3134 I believe in praying to God and do it every day. I just don't understand someone saying they are going to send "healing energy". How does that happen?
It meets my 3 tests for an experimental treatment on myself: is it safe, is it inexpensive, is it easy? Yes. It's safe, easy, and inexpensive. Why not do it? It can't hurt and it might help.
@@johnpossum556 alta dosis de vitamina C es a partir de 5 gramos por sesión, y se incrementa dependiendo de la patología. El límite es aquella dosis que produce ligera diarrea entonces se disminuye a la anterior, pero no hay registro de que alguien haya muerto por causa de la vitamina C.
@@johnpossum556 not a big deal actually: if that happens, reduce the dosage or try liposomal vitamin C. Most people can handle 2 to 3 grams of ‘regular’ vitamin C per day though. The ‘side effects’ of vitamin C are nothing compared to the side effects of the drugs routinely prescribed (for life) to people with heart issues.
In december, most probably associated with a severe upper respiratory tract infection I got Afib for the first time. A cardiologist put me on anti-arytmika etc. . I got short attacks for about 1 hour each time, once every 2 weeks( average). gradually got off the arytmika(profafenone),BUT since I started to add vitamin C, 0,5 gr, 3 times a day, 2 months ago, I have not had any more Afib attacks, none! So many thanks exemplary colleague(I am psychiatrist), as I got the idea from your video!
I went to my Cardiologist Tuesday and he said I was in AFib. I didn't know it, didn't feel anything. I felt good. My BP was 116 over 70 so he was happy about that and told me to keep doing what I was doing, and go for more bloodwork!! Your videos are so helpful when you discover you have these problems. I've learned so much from them. They've taken away many of the questions and fear I feel. I thank you, Dr. Sanjay, for sharing your knowledge and intelligence.
Peggy M.icsky : You have made that same remark about other videos, . Negative comments like yours are not helpful stop doing it, he's a doctor and knows well whether he is tired or not !
@@valerieobrien5521 There is nothing negative about my comment. Sanjay's been concerned with his father's health and traveling to be with him so I was expressing my concern. I'm sure he's stressed and tired and I'm still praying for him and his family. YOU worry about YOU, not me!
Thanks a lot for putting such great content. I am an Indian doctor.I just love your content.They are simple and easy for everyone .so much humanity & act of kindness to learn from you sir.wish your father recovers and heals very soon ❤🙏
A good Doctor possesses understanding and compassion for human nature and its limitations as well as technical and medical knowledge. Sanjay has a big heart!
Prayers for your fathers speedy recovery. Thank you for taking time out of this stressful period to send us another great video. I understand you can safely take high doses of vitamin c by monitoring your intake through bowel tolerance. A little diarrhea and then you can ease off of the vitamin c until you get it right. I will take a little diarrhea over AFIB any day. Thank you again.
I am so sorry about your father. But he could not have a more caring and knowledgeable person taking care of him. What a great son you are. I hope he improves. This was a very helpful video. I pray for strength for you and your family,
I had a chronic arrhythmia. A few years back I started taking a daily dose of Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin B6, Taurine and have not had a problem with it since. All three of these nutrients work to restore normal heart rhythm. I also now take a daily 1,000 mg. Vitamin C for the past year. I used to get irregular heartbeats many times per day. Now, it seems I am cured of that scary problem. I also used to get anxiety, maybe due to the irregular beats. The anxiety and panic attacks have disappeared as well.
Wish you would say how much of the other B6 etc you take. I have taken vitamin C for years but have A fib which got much worse after pacemaker was put in me
I developed AFIB after taking the J&J Covid vaccine. It got so bad I had a heart ablation 4 months ago. It seemed to work, but the fib returned a few weeks ago, and much worse. My cardiologist suggested another heart ablation - so I scheduled it and had another two days ago. Three days prior to the 2nd heart ablation, I started taking vitamin C and the AFIB subsided completely. I thought about cancelling the second ablation, but the idea of it coming back again was frightening. Today I see this video and I am convinced that I was vitamin C deficient. I am going to stock up on vitamin C and magnesium and use them as my first defense going forward.
Dr. Gupta, I am a 69 yo female with a mitral valve repair done 19 years ago. The open heart surgery resulted in the need for a pacemaker. Fast forward 19 years. I went into AFIB on Sep 27, 2024 at 7 pm and am still in AF today. I began taking Eloquis on Oct 1 and am scheduled for a TEE with cardioversion on this Wednesday. I am going to begin Vitamin C supplementation today, Oct 13, 2024 along with mg glycinate. I will let you know what happens - if the AF resolves. Thank you so much for this ray of hope. AF is a little scary!
My partner has suffered from paroxymal afib for 9 years and it has been getting worse so that by end of 2021 it was daily. She already stopped alcohol but was taking glucosamine for joints and vit D for covid. After seeing this video she started taking vit C and stopped the glucosamine. Now she has 2500mg of vit C spread over the day every day and the AF has virtually stopped. If she does get it it only lasts for about an hour and can go 3 to 4 weeks without any episodes. Thanks so much for that information. We are so grateful.
@@moniquemurphy4851 It is still working but it has to be the non acidic vitamin C Bioflavonoid complex and not the standard you buy in any chemist which are synthetic. This one replicates the Vit C found naturally. The one we have is by Solgar and is called Ester-C but there are others. Along with this she takes a sports drink with all minerals and a sports hydration electrolyte drink when she has an episode of AF. Now all this has reduced the frequency and the severity of Afib dramatically such that she is not worried about it any more. All this without the 6 synthetic drugs the doctor wanted to prescribe with all their side effects. Medics themselves cannot agree on what the best treatment is for Afib as it effects every individual differently.
@@EllenDuke-y3d Since my comment she also takes Curcumin Co-Q10 and Nattokinase so three supplements every day and we find that her scary unpredictable AF is now bearable and manageable. In addition she now knows when it is about to start and drinks an electrolyte which are really sports energy drinks and they very often prevent it. Everyone has different afibs but I feel sure most can be at least controlled and when they do occur are not as violent and have a semblance of rhythm. As Nattokinase is a natural blood thinner she no longer takes aspirin but paracetamol instead if she has headaches etc.
Dear Sanjay I have persistent AF and had it for 4 years with a couple of cardioversions and still in AF just waiting to speak to specialist at hospital for next step. After taking Vitamin C last week for just one week my AF is loads better with reduced breathlessness and less fatigue generally all round improved quality of life. Thank you very much, there really is a huge benefit for me taking 1 x 1000mg in morning and same at bedtime. Thanks Sanjay.. Andrew
God bless you Sanjay(very common name you have.) Thank you for giving of yourself in this way! Prayers for your mom and dad! God is the healer! Believe He can and He will.
Hey Doc, I was recently diagnosed with AF. Blood pressure very good and my ultrasounds were very good also. I noticed it was increasing in frequency so I started on 1000mg of Vitamin C per day. According to my iWatch Ultra my Afib has reduced by 50%. I feel like it has reduced even more that that. All anecdotal I know, but that is my story so far. Regards and thanks for all your work here.
Thanks. How much Vit C should I have per day? I had AF with Hyperparathroidism but it went away after surgery. Now it has come back so my cardioligist has put me back on medication. Would be grateful to know.
Dear Sanjay, I had quadruple bypass surgery at flinders university hospital in 2014, I was not happy with the medication that they insisted I take for the rest of my life so I stopped taking them, I only take eliquis blood thinner and magnesium at present. At my last visit to my cardiologist I queried as to wether there is any connection with the stomach and the heart as over time I had observed myself increased AF after a meal , he almost ridiculed me for even suggesting the idea stating that "that there is absolutely no connection what so ever. Despite his high status at flinders I decided not to use him again because I felt my self diagnosis was right ; so it was with great joy to see recently your comments on this very issue which fitted my experience exactly as have many of your very informative presentations of which I have say here I am most greatfull for your amazing dedication and humanitarianism, thank you. Now with this latest presentation on the use of vitamin c,this so fits in with the little research I have done on my chronic AF I am going to commence vit c as soon as my order arrives and in due course I will let you know how I get on with it. Kind regards from South Australia, Robert Oldfield
Look up Dr Gupta's videos on vagal AF, and gastro-cardiac syndrome. It's real, I've lived with it for 30 years and know all the patterns. Also research Prof Coumel, the french cardiologist who first described it.
Thank you for this information. I will increase my vitamin C today! I don't take any prescriptions, but mostly control my Afib by avoiding certain foods and stress. I take magnesium, but had not heard of the possible benefits for Afib from vitamin C. It makes sense though. I stay away from sulfites, nitrites, sugar, etc. Also have histamine sensitivity and take a histamine blocker before eating. I learn so much and find great comfort from watching your videos. I strive to avoid those protocol methods and take care of my body naturally. I am 70, have had paroxsymal Afib for 15 years, and otherwise extremely healthy.. You are a Godsend to me and I am sure to many others. I will pray for you and your father. Please continue with the videos. They are needed by many.
Thankyou very much. It's nice to hear a doctor who has such an open mind. I'm sorry your father is sick. I pray for him and you and all.your family for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself as stress is not good for you. Thanks again for all you do for people to reassure as.
you are absolutely right. For so long doctors have ignored looking into natural food sources for health promotion, but instead concentrating on prescribing the latest and often expensive medications for patients.
Dr Gupta, I'm so grateful for the information you are providing and I'm so thankful that I found your channel. My husband was having seizures that were not due to epilepsy, but from having over 46,000 PVC's. The doctors couldn't tell him anything, but I began to research and found that it was most likely due to magnesium deficiency. As soon as he started using a magnesium spray, he has been okay for over 4 months. Once again thank you for sharing your medical knowledge and compassion for the people!
It's always interesting to hear about how politics and biases shape science. It's also nice to see a doctor promote a healthy amount of scepticism, critical analysis and patient driven care in spite of these influences. Wishing your father a speedy, full recovery and minimal stress for your family
Thank you Doctor for addressing natural treatments for A-fib. I will double my 1000 mg to 2000 mg a day, taken throughout the day. I am also going to prioritize getting a full 8 to 9 hrrs sleep since lack of sleep is a trigger for me. I find these small studies very convincing. The difference in the control group and the treated group is shockingly significant in all the studies you mention! So sorry to hear of your father's illness. Prayers for a quick recovery. 🙏
I had cardiac ablation for afib 4 months ago. While I have had no breakthroughs I have had 30-40 ectopic beats a day. Sometimes less. Last week I started on 1000 mg vit c a day and the ectopic beats stopped after a day. Amazing. I never want to stop taking it.
@@aqeelhaider1103 make sure by doing simple Potassium and Magnesium test, that your Potassium is at least 4.4 ( make sure not reaching 5) and your Magnesium at least 2,2 ( not much than 2.4) and you are not dehydrated.
Aqeel, I was having 8,000 pvcs a day and taking 200-500 mg of vitamin C powder really helped. I still have pvcs, but only a hundred or so throughout the day. I barely even notice them now, thanks to the Vit C
@@aqeelhaider1103 i had that off and on for years. Lately since I am now 71 I had 10k quite often. I tried everything. Ribose stopped them completely. I take 6 to 9 grams with meals. Now I am battling afib, but the arrhythmias are 99.9 % gone. I think my problem with afib is water. I drink 64 oz a day as of 2 days ago and eat dinner 5 hours before bed and I hope this works because I had a huge number of afibs but they never lasted more than 4 hours. Also take 8 grams magnesium, 800 mg potassium pills, carnitine 1.5 grams and coq10 300 mg per day. Vitamin C sounds good, like maybe every 1 or 2 hours throughout the day.
Sanjay, I hope your father is gonna get well. You really are a beautiful human being. I admire your dedication and competence as your colleague and follower. I also learn a lot from you. Thank you for everything you do. :)
@@kathleenfubler431 I've been taking Vitamin C for a long time. Since 2015 I've needed to attend emergency about once every 10 or 11 months but I haven't needed to go now since October 2019, thank God.
Wow I am so impressed that a major medical dr such as yourself is willing to talk about these things and bring them to the public. Thank you!!!! I personally take Ester C but think now I might include some ascorbic acid just to be on the safe side. I don't have any AF, but prevention is the best medicine :) Blessings, may your father heal quickly and your life return to a more normal 👍
Thank you for this information. 3rd time in Afib within a 2 year period, 5th cardioversion coming at Stanford Medical and will get on a Vitamin C regimen. Thank you again, Cheers!
Praying for your Dad's recovery. I believe in miraculous healing. I am a born again Christian. Took care of my mom and dad. I have seen miracles in their lives. May you find peace and strength during these challenging times. Be well.
Very interesting information. Thank you for sharing. You are not only a great doctor, you are a son your father can be proud of. My prayers for his recovery to good health.
What a commendable enlightened approach from Dr Gupta. Vitamin C has been used also to prolong life in the terminally ill, with excellent results. All patients of this open minded Cardiologist will be blessed indeed!
As an 86 year man who has had occasional A-Fib since childhood - my mother also had it - and after it got worse with age, though it usually switched to normal after two week period, I had a heart attack (Smoking related I believe, though I'd stopped a year earlier) with the heart attack they put two stents in me and my blood pressure dropped from150/90 before the heart attack down to low 95/60 and eventually approx 106/70 average since. I have fibrillated continually since 2017. Now I'm getting a lot of episodes of almost heart attack dull aches. The doctor increased my Bisoprolol to 7,5mg a day. Can't increase it more because it lowers BP. I've been searching for something natural to help. This video is exactly what I'd hoped to find. Many thanks for this info!!!
@@dougcoleburn1579 Well, I've just had more heart attacks and had another stent for which I am hugely grateful to Queen Elizabeth staff!!! Their dedication is beyond definition and wonderful - this applies to all levels!
I had serious AF and PVC's (Premature ventricular contractions) and two cardiologists and my family doctor strongly encouraged "heart ablation surgery". I declined. I started experimenting with time-restricted-eating (TRE), intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting. Within the first month a frostbite sore/scab that I had for 15 years (not a typo) healed beautifully. In the 8th month I got my CRP retested. It had been "off the charts" - a score of 12 where optimum is less than 1 and "normal" is 1 to 3. After 8 months of daily fasting (my eating window was usually 4 to 6 hours), my CRP was 0.01 - the lab was giddy with excitement and told me they had NEVER seen such a low score. At 70 years of age I am back to what I've done all my life - running, golfing, swimming, camping and biking - to name a few. BUT here's the #1 thing to know and it's the first thing to try: DO NOT EAT AFTER SUNDOWN!!!!! NEVER EVER. Why? Because "eating even nutritious foods (after sundown) promotes serious inflammation" (Dr. Satchin Panda - researcher). I told a stranger that I met at a sports event about this #1 rule. I knew nothing about him. A month later, at another event he recognized me and came up to tell me that he had changed one thing in his life (a long-time insulin taking diabetic). He stopped eating after sundown. He reported that his AM glucose test was 78 - a number, he said, that he had not seen in a LONG time. He felt he might have a very different life in his old age (72+) than what he had been braced for. He also felt he would be soon reducing and then eliminating the drugs he was taking.
Interesting story on your AF and PVC's. Your results are remarkable. Are you taking any naturals? That was a high CRP. Mine got to 70. No fun. Mine is 1.0 now. Thanks
@@cindysmith4998 my Afib is still with me. I exercise and build up my resistance before I play tennis or cycle. I have found out what foods don't work. Wine unfortunately can put me into Afib, so more. Adjustments can help. When I feel winded, I stop and rest. Suppose to have an Ablation, but waiting to see what happens over the next couple months. I do several naturals and they seem to help. Entresto helps with the heart failure. A good night's sleep is critical and staying hydrated. Hope this helps!
Thank you for being so pro the patient and not simply drug and intervention focused. You are a rarity in the contemporary medical establishment. We are in a pharmaceutical world and not committed to health and best practice. We have violated the most fundamental tenet of promoting health, not doing harm and least invasive care. Please keep up your commitment to public health. My AF that I detected early COVID, was really ‘concerning’. I was afraid to recline in the evenings and lie down at bedtime. I believed that I have successfully managed it through the help of your evidence-based videos (body positioning and other non-invasive management strategies). I am so relieved to have found your videos. In addition to vitamin C supplementation, I also quit alcohol about the same time. Thank you so much. Professor-Elizabeth
Really interesting. I know one with a few attacks of AF, I will definitely tell him about this. Interesting when I watch videos done by hospitals and health authorities, they only focus on how to fix the numbers or treat symptoms, there isn't a single word or thought about the reason why it develops or why we are seeing more and more people getting this. That is why your channel is so much more interesting. Thanks so much for posting these videos.
Just given my terminally ill husband high dose Vit C for his fast heartbeat as he was discharged from a medical facility without medication . So far his heart rate is decreasing. Thank you for sharing this information 🙌🏽
The commentary so reflected my experience of AF. Two episodes within a short space of time about two and a half years ago resulted in me taking beta blockers and blood thinners. Since then I have focussed even more on my diet and aim for a low GL intake, have introduced regular 30 minutes daily exercise to raise my pulse rate and also walk every day for c. 1 hour. I ensure that I get enough sleep and try to avoid stress and have been supplementing with vitamns C and D, although this latter has been to improve my immune system, but I'm heartened to hear that I have inadvertently stumbled on a natural aid to improve my condition. And the good news is that I have not had another episode. I have also recently started using Epsom salts in a weekly bath and that has improved noticeably my focus and energy levels and I understand now is also a natural assistant to improving AF. I would also like to add my thanks for all the information on this subject that has been made available through your videos.

He his the York Cardiologist )**** I watch him last night on RUclips has lots of good advice and not tying to sell you anything. .watching is advice on high Blood Pressure ) **** which I needed to watch.I am amazed the have not taken him down. He his a Cardiologist,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have no idea why your video came up. I went to RUclips to look for a crocheting pattern and your video came up tops. I have the greatest respect for doctors who think outside the box. I have plenty of palpitations and hubby has intermittend afib. We'll try this.
Dr Gupta, you are operating your God given assignment, a blessing to the nations, you are God sent and I am truly humbled, thank you so much for helping us all, may wisdom and knowledge increase 🙌🏼
Thank You Dr Gupta. You have done a great service to humanity. May God bless you. May the Almighty bring good health to your parents. Trust the Almighty for His delivery and have faith. Peace.
Should we ever chance to meet ,I shall give you a hug to thank you for all the hope and guidance you so compassionately share. A light for me you are. Thank you.
Thank you for putting this video out! You have opened my eyes to information that I have been hunting for. I went for a check up and the doctor realized I was in a fib. It was during Covid this last year. The following day I was admitted as an outpatient for electric shock therapy to stop the a fib. Afterwards I was given both a blood thinner and a beta blocker and was told I need to take them for the rest of my life. I am not a pill taker by nature and I gag every day when I take my hand full. Tomorrow I’m going to buy myself some vitamin C and I also forwarded this video to my cousin who suffers daily with a fib! Again, thank you so much for posting this video!
@@adventureparx Eyetique immunity support vitamins every day part of the combination is 500 mg vitamin C daily it’s also B6, B12, zinc, manganese and I take them every day in the morning.
Thank you Sanjay what an very interesting and informative analysis of vit c after heart surgery. love all your great videos about numerous health topics, please keep them coming, and i truly hope your father makes a good recovery. Thank you.
I love your work as a nurse I have become disillusioned over how much Dr dont know about natural,natures products. Well done. Love and best wishes to you your Dad and family.
P.S. THANK YOU! For researching, posting, and taking time to share during the intense time of caring for a parent, I've been through thst journey, too. Bless you and your family through this challenging time. I look back with such gratitude that it was my privilege to share the last leg of their life journey with my parents. Every extension of time is such a grace. I wish you peace and serenity......
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Loss of a parent is a difficult transition...give yourself time... grief takes time...and its different for us all. Big hugs 🙏🌻🙏
Hello Dr G. These are great videos and such a change from most cardiologists who are only interested in treatment. My experience: at 25 after suffering from bad acne on my body for 10 years I increased my vit C from 800mg to 1500mg. My acne went in 3 days, as my skin healed up (?increased collagen production) and hasn't recurred. So the usual 1g per day may not be enough for everyone esp athletes (I was exercising v hard at the time). I've taken 2g for 30 years with no issues. Secondly, I've had frequent PVCs (every 5 beats or so) for a few years and now after taking Mg (3-600mg/d) they have reduced to once in every 15 or so. Please keep up the brilliant work
I remember my EP Doctor told me my AFIB would come back despite having multiple cardioversions and an ablation. Well, this is great news you provided on top of the publication from the international journal of disease reversal and prevention how a whole-food, plant-based diet may be an effective intervention for reducing or eliminating AF recurrence. Science of nutrition is my medicine.
I don’t think it’s just about plant based- some plants in my experience can create inflammation especially those with lectin- I got very obese going vegetarian… I’m now eggs meat and sweet potatoes and vegetables and I’m much better
This is something I found out about just a week ago so I am trying it out, I take 500mg every four hours except for sleeping, then I will take it if I wake to use the restroom then resume in the A.M. no side effects of any kind as yet, but I do seem to have more energy and feel better. Thank you for all you positive and logical information, and my best wishes for your father and family.
Thank you so much. I watched your other videos and have stopped taking my acid reflux medicine and picked up magnesium. I will also now get some vitamin C. I wish more doctors were like you.
Thank you Dr Gupta. This relates to our conversation the other week, so I will try to take more vit C. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and may your father get well very soon
Amen Dr Gupta l had afib in 2019 and my cardiologist recommended heart ablation surgery. Than l had attack again in 2022 but on the opposite side. I had my second heart ablation surgery. I was taking vitamin C. I am so blessed to have a cardiologist that cares. He reminds me of you how you are helping others.
Afib and indeed Aflutter (AFL) has been identified as THE LEADING risk factor in developing severe Covid19. I had an Aflutter more than 4 years ago but have since lost weight, started rigorous exercise and laid off carbs and sugar. I will be sure to add Vitamin C to my daily supplementation. Thanks Dr. Gupta.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this. Thank you for your support- it would mean a tonne if you’d consider subscribing to the channel. Also I try and do some regular broadcasts via WhatsApp on +44795131008
I got rid of my Afib with vitamin C, mg supplementation and intermittent fasting. I'm symptom free for four years now. Thank you for sharing this
Oh wow that is just terrific!
What dosage mg were you consuming daily
Intermittent fasting in itself is extremely Healing. Also by totally ditching Sugar a lot of inflammation will be eliminated from your body.
And yes, Magnesium will calm all your muscles including your heart!!😉

@@YorkCardiology Thank you so much. I have this problem for awhile so your information is very welcome. I will try VitC. My BP is low in the morning but goes high as the day goes on.
I am a physician in Alabama with a history of vagal paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for 18 years. I started magnesium glycinate, six months ago, and it has greatly reduced my episodes. After adding vitamin C, I am essentially cured. I am no longer sensitive to many of the known factors that would sit off an episode. Thank you so much for your continued interest and research on these topics.
I would be so interested in knowing what are the triggers. I'm.80, Irish normally living in Switzerland but right now in Spain on vac 7:25 ation. Just called a doctor for an Afib episode. Thank you😊
How much vitamin C are you taking?
Sudden changes in position, sleeping on left side, esophageal irritation (eating too late, eating too much), alcohol--even half a beer or half glass of wine, were some of my triggers. I recommend "pill in a pocket" to end episodes.
I use 750/mag glycinate and 500/vit C. I also take 100 mg of flecainide and 12.5 of metoprolol an hour before bedtime since my episodes typically start just as I am falling asleep. They are much less frequent now with the supplements.
Mine sets off slot right now… how much magnesium are you taking?
Oh my! You are such a fine humanitarian physician. Thank you for putting the welfare of humans before a padded bank account. May God bless you!
He didn’t when it came to the phax as proven by Joe Rogan
I agree 🙏👍❤️
I believe that while my cardiologist is playing golf, Dr Gupta is studying to actually treat his patients to get better! Thank you for these videos!
I agree Dr Gupta is wonderful and gives me faith
Lol x
LOL …. Brilliant! 😂
So sorry about your Dad! Hope he is better! I have a question for you! I need some advice so I will go on your web site when I can and hopefully you can help me! I had a heart ablation today and parts of my heart that were causing my racing heart (SVT) were detected, but before they could be treated my heart went into AFib and the heart ablation was stopped! Now the surgeon wants to repeat the procedure but I would have the be on blood thinners 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after and my experience with many of the blood thinners is a horror story! I don’t know what to do!
@@bettyweimer394 I came here for answers. I so hope you got your answer about what to do. God bless
Not only a great doctor but a great human being,even took time to talk to me on the phone and I stay in Scotland,thank you sir
P
Dr. you are a great human being. I admire your knowledge & willingness to help others.
He's amazing. Embodies what I believe a Doctor should be like.
I hate the thought of putting those beagles through experiments !
We should not use innocent animals to try out treatments. that are for humans.
I hope the animal kingdom also benefits from the findings .
I have witnessed experiments on our fellow creatures at University in the Bio lab !
This sounds amazing!!! It’s certainly worth a try. Thank you, Doctor.
One of the only cardiologists that understands all aspects of our heart problems ! A real professional as well as explaining problems in an understandable manner, Many Thanks
I have Afib have proccedure but I am not totally cured. I have the lower beat while at rest and the higher beat while on motion can I ask my cardiologist to give me the Flecainide small doses pill in a pocket?
I am certainly going to try vit c once again thank you so much
He has no need or desire for jargon, that's y we understand his explanations.pray for Dr Gupta
What an eloquent and convincing explanation of this hypothesis. His calm and balanced presentation alone helped my afib ( well sort of) Anyway regardless of big studies or not I’m giving this therapy a try as I have a pacemaker being implanted next week and apparently afib is not helpful for best results. Glad my son forwarded me this link. Hope it goes well with your dad mate.
Dr. Gupta I am a nurse and had not heard of this. I will pass this onto my family members, friends, patients and cohorts! Very beneficial, non-invasive, and inexpensive modality. I am so sorry to hear about your father. You are a great son. I will keep him in prayer 🙏
LOL, good luck with that. I'm thrilled you're so open minded, but my experience with Dr's, nurses and others is they will simply hear "Vitamin" and reject it. Especially nurses. I had an argument with one nurse who claimed Vit D did nothing as far as preventing the Flu. . .I asked her "have you read the studies?" Her response was to ignore this and say, "well, Im a nurse, so. . ." as if that ended the conversation, lol.
@@Colstonewall I'm also a nurse and I believe totally in vitamins and nutrition, but my training was more like indoctrination. They're taught to follow policies and orders and it's very challenging to learn and do all that is required. It's better to just say how well it worked and let them file it away for their knowledge later on. She should have been more curious and kind to you though :)
@@Savannah-ed4rv Well, thank you for acknowledging my 'opinion.'
My only goal in telling that particular nurse and others was to help. I had no other motive.
I've been so helped by Vitamins and Herbs that I want everyone to know, for their own good.
But that particular nurse, it was her arrogance that pissed me off. Had I not been at work that day (when we had the discussion) I would have really told her off.
Anyways, I could go on for days about this topic, so I digress! You have a great day, Savannah!!
@@Colstonewall sorry for such a missed opportunity for a nurse should always learn.
@@shay7090 Agreed. Lives can/could be saved if more people, including MD's kept an open mind.
Prayer for your father's quick recovery, I hope other doctors will learn from you
My personal observation is, if you educate patients it will always result in better treatment because patients can explain better about their symptoms and take better care of themselves and it makes doctors' life a bit easier. One very common example can be most of the patient doesn't even understand the difference between chest pain related to the heart issue and confuse it with gas or acidity related pains.. so doctors need to go through a series of tests and find out the actual problem.. sometimes people get traumatized with very simple health issue whereas some times they just ignore very serious issue and end up in ER at the eleventh hour.
Doctors should reduce the gap between patients and them. The way you explain things and communicates is definitely praiseworthy that many doctors do not do. Respect and best wishes to you. If I can help you in any way with your noble journey, please let me know.
@@VoboghureSajib we appreciate you so much. You are a god sent to many .
Thanks we love you 💟
Best cardiologist ever!!!
This doctor is brilliant, love listening to him.
May God protect you, your father and your family.
I am so pleased to see a honest ,humble doctor with humane qualities. Your scientific approach to the commercialized medical practice is commendable. Your focus on patient- driven medicine rather than protocol driven is highly appreciated. Keep up ur efforts to educate the people and patients!! Vest wishes.
Dr T. Shivanandappa
Mysore, India.
I had an American friend, Dr. Alton Olson and his wife Ruth who operated a field clinic for decades in or near Mysore, India. They are retired now but I believe his son Nathan might still be serving in that area.
Protocol driven medicine of late is funded by huge investors/big pharma and disguised as “evidence” based medicine and has become “check box “ medicine . Studies now can be designed to “ fail” certain inexpensive treatments or procedures or out of the box ideas but people say they work so who do we believe? The patient or a journal under regulatory capture.
Bless you also Dr. Shivanandappa for reinforcing what is noble.

Dr. Gupta you are an awesome humanitarian. This world needs more physicians like you. Many thanks for putting out these valuable videos. I was recently diagnosed with Afib and find them most valuable. Keeping you, your father and family in prayers. God bless you.
I had no heart issues until at age 81 it9 was discovered I had afib when I went to the hospital for a out patient procedure. I have no symptoms in afib. I was prescribed eliquis and metoprolol. I was on zero medication prior to this. I do not drink or smoke and am not overweight. No hig blood pressure or other difficulties except for osteo arthrites which has caused some discomfort and effected my range of motion recently. Sorry for the long story. I want to treat things naturally as much as possible. I found the doctors advice very helpful. Thank you. Since covid I am working at home on telehealth as a family therapist. I have been in this profession for more than 25 years and find that helping clients travel within to find the answers to their lives the most satisfying part of my work. I appreciate when other professionals respect people as individuals. We are not a dx. Take care
Thank you 😊 you always restore my faith with your videos with hope and appreciation. Great work!
Thanks for sharing this info Dr. Gupta, I’ve had A Fib for almost 20 years, it was discovered at 46 I’ll be 66 this year. I will try the Vit C and report back. Thanks again. I wish all the best for your Dad
What's the feedback?
How’s it going
@@jhakku1401 They never report back. they probably don't even remember making the comment.
Thanks as always Dr - have paroxsysmal af and take 3000 mgs Vitamin C daily - no afib in the last 3 years - more importantly prayers for your father and family!
May I ask what brand of Vitamin C do you use? Also, how often did you experience Afib in the beginning?
That's good news ! Best wishes to you.
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I just use Jamieson brand chewable Vitamin C (I live in Canada where it is a major brand) - I used to have afib attacks 3 or 4 times per year - they would last anywhere from an hour to at most 2 hours - I used a pill in the pocket approach to terminate attacks with ativan and inderal
I'm sorry to hear your dad is unwell and send healing prayers for his recovery. Your knowledge is so appreciated. You're a lovely caring man. Thank you for all you do.
What an incredibly smart and handsome doctor! Sending healing thoughts to your father from Greece.
I’ve tried VIT C 2000mg daily for 2 weeks and the AF has GONE!! I am tired and my chest feels a bit sore but every day I’m improving after AF 24/7
after a virus. RESEARCH IS SO NEEDED for this as it’s cheap and accessible for all.
Thank you for sharing.
is the afib permanently gone after stopping the vitamin c?
Started vit C

I always look forward to your life-changing videos, which have helped me immensely. I am still hoping to have a consultation with you, since I am dealing with an undiagnosed heart issue. Much LOVE and PEACE for the speedy recovery of your father! 🙏🏼✨💖
Huh? How do you send "healing energy"?
If healing prayer, healing energy have any thing to do with disease and treatment there should not have been hospitals and doctors but only prayer houses all over every where...🙂
@@rssiddharth3134 I believe in praying to God and do it every day. I just don't understand someone saying they are going to send "healing energy". How does that happen?
Through prayer and communication with our healing God for His intervention…..sending blessings too
Taking vit c religiously now thank you dr truth.
It meets my 3 tests for an experimental treatment on myself: is it safe, is it inexpensive, is it easy? Yes. It's safe, easy, and inexpensive. Why not do it? It can't hurt and it might help.
High doses of Vit C can give stomache irritability, flatulence, & diarhea. That is how it can hurt.
How much are you taking and how many times a day etc. Thanks TheReaper!
@@johnpossum556 alta dosis de vitamina C es a partir de 5 gramos por sesión, y se incrementa dependiendo de la patología. El límite es aquella dosis que produce ligera diarrea entonces se disminuye a la anterior, pero no hay registro de que alguien haya muerto por causa de la vitamina C.
@@johnpossum556 not a big deal actually: if that happens, reduce the dosage or try liposomal vitamin C. Most people can handle 2 to 3 grams of ‘regular’ vitamin C per day though. The ‘side effects’ of vitamin C are nothing compared to the side effects of the drugs routinely prescribed (for life) to people with heart issues.
You’re totally right.
In december, most probably associated with a severe upper respiratory tract infection I got Afib for the first time. A cardiologist put me on anti-arytmika etc. . I got short attacks for about 1 hour each time, once every 2 weeks( average). gradually got off the arytmika(profafenone),BUT since I started to add vitamin C, 0,5 gr, 3 times a day, 2 months ago, I have not had any more Afib attacks, none! So many thanks exemplary colleague(I am psychiatrist), as I got the idea from your video!
I went to my Cardiologist Tuesday and he said I was in AFib. I didn't know it, didn't feel anything. I felt good. My BP was 116 over 70 so he was happy about that and told me to keep doing what I was doing, and go for more bloodwork!! Your videos are so helpful when you discover you have these problems. I've learned so much from them. They've taken away many of the questions and fear I feel. I thank you, Dr. Sanjay, for sharing your knowledge and intelligence.
That was probably just a one off episode then.. hope all is well
You look stressed, Sanjay. I pray God will watch over you and your family and heal your dad and give him peace. My heart hurts for all of you.
Hey does look stressed. Prayers for him and his fathet!!🙏❤
Peggy M.icsky : You have made that same remark about other videos, .
Negative comments like yours are not helpful stop doing it, he's a doctor and knows well whether he is tired or not !
@@valerieobrien5521 There is nothing negative about my comment. Sanjay's been concerned with his father's health and traveling to be with him so I was expressing my concern. I'm sure he's stressed and tired and I'm still praying for him and his family. YOU worry about YOU, not me!

Prayers for your fathers speedy recovery. Thank you for taking time out of this stressful period to send us another great video. I understand you can safely take high doses of vitamin c by monitoring your intake through bowel tolerance. A little diarrhea and then you can ease off of the vitamin c until you get it right. I will take a little diarrhea over AFIB any day. Thank you again.

I will keep your father in my prayers. Thanks for this info...will get on Vitamin C
I had a chronic arrhythmia. A few years back I started taking a daily dose of Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin B6, Taurine and have not had a problem with it since. All three of these nutrients work to restore normal heart rhythm. I also now take a daily 1,000 mg. Vitamin C for the past year. I used to get irregular heartbeats many times per day. Now, it seems I am cured of that scary problem. I also used to get anxiety, maybe due to the irregular beats. The anxiety and panic attacks have disappeared as well.
I have anxiety
What kind of magnesium and taurine? How much too Hey Saxon do you take it in the morning your vitamins
Wish you would say how much of the other B6 etc you take. I have taken vitamin C for years but have A fib which got much worse after pacemaker was put in me
How long from starting supplements did it take to be cured?
Hi, that's good to hear, I'm very interested in understanding the rationale for taking this combination of supplements, can you please elaborate?
I developed AFIB after taking the J&J Covid vaccine. It got so bad I had a heart ablation 4 months ago. It seemed to work, but the fib returned a few weeks ago, and much worse. My cardiologist suggested another heart ablation - so I scheduled it and had another two days ago. Three days prior to the 2nd heart ablation, I started taking vitamin C and the AFIB subsided completely. I thought about cancelling the second ablation, but the idea of it coming back again was frightening. Today I see this video and I am convinced that I was vitamin C deficient. I am going to stock up on vitamin C and magnesium and use them as my first defense going forward.
Dr. Gupta, I am a 69 yo female with a mitral valve repair done 19 years ago. The open heart surgery resulted in the need for a pacemaker. Fast forward 19 years. I went into AFIB on Sep 27, 2024 at 7 pm and am still in AF today. I began taking Eloquis on Oct 1 and am scheduled for a TEE with cardioversion on this Wednesday. I am going to begin Vitamin C supplementation today, Oct 13, 2024 along with mg glycinate. I will let you know what happens - if the AF resolves. Thank you so much for this ray of hope. AF is a little scary!
My partner has suffered from paroxymal afib for 9 years and it has been getting worse so that by end of 2021 it was daily. She already stopped alcohol but was taking glucosamine for joints and vit D for covid. After seeing this video she started taking vit C and stopped the glucosamine. Now she has 2500mg of vit C spread over the day every day and the AF has virtually stopped. If she does get it it only lasts for about an hour and can go 3 to 4 weeks without any episodes. Thanks so much for that information. We are so grateful.
Thank you for sharing this experience.
@@moniquemurphy4851 It is still working but it has to be the non acidic vitamin C Bioflavonoid complex and not the standard you buy in any chemist which are synthetic. This one replicates the Vit C found naturally. The one we have is by Solgar and is called Ester-C but there are others. Along with this she takes a sports drink with all minerals and a sports hydration electrolyte drink when she has an episode of AF. Now all this has reduced the frequency and the severity of Afib dramatically such that she is not worried about it any more. All this without the 6 synthetic drugs the doctor wanted to prescribe with all their side effects. Medics themselves cannot agree on what the best treatment is for Afib as it effects every individual differently.
Thanks for the details including the name. I will try it.
@@EllenDuke-y3d Since my comment she also takes Curcumin Co-Q10 and Nattokinase so three supplements every day and we find that her scary unpredictable AF is now bearable and manageable. In addition she now knows when it is about to start and drinks an electrolyte which are really sports energy drinks and they very often prevent it. Everyone has different afibs but I feel sure most can be at least controlled and when they do occur are not as violent and have a semblance of rhythm. As Nattokinase is a natural blood thinner she no longer takes aspirin but paracetamol instead if she has headaches etc.
Dear Sanjay I have persistent AF and had it for 4 years with a couple of cardioversions and still in AF just waiting to speak to specialist at hospital for next step. After taking Vitamin C last week for just one week my AF is loads better with reduced breathlessness and less fatigue generally all round improved quality of life. Thank you very much, there really is a huge benefit for me taking 1 x 1000mg in morning and same at bedtime. Thanks Sanjay.. Andrew
God bless you Sanjay(very common name you have.) Thank you for giving of yourself in this way! Prayers for your mom and dad! God is the healer! Believe He can and He will.
Hey Doc, I was recently diagnosed with AF. Blood pressure very good and my ultrasounds were very good also. I noticed it was increasing in frequency so I started on 1000mg of Vitamin C per day. According to my iWatch Ultra my Afib has reduced by 50%. I feel like it has reduced even more that that. All anecdotal I know, but that is my story so far. Regards and thanks for all your work here.
Thanks. How much Vit C should I have per day? I had AF with Hyperparathroidism but it went away after surgery. Now it has come back so my cardioligist has put me back on medication. Would be grateful to know.

Hey my name is Brenda I was diagnosed with AF did you stop your medicine that Dr put you on when you started vitamin c
Dear Sanjay, I had quadruple bypass surgery at flinders university hospital in 2014, I was not happy with the medication that they insisted I take for the rest of my life so I stopped taking them, I only take eliquis blood thinner and magnesium at present. At my last visit to my cardiologist I queried as to wether there is any connection with the stomach and the heart as over time I had observed myself increased AF after a meal , he almost ridiculed me for even suggesting the idea stating that "that there is absolutely no connection what so ever. Despite his high status at flinders I decided not to use him again because I felt my self diagnosis was right ; so it was with great joy to see recently your comments on this very issue which fitted my experience exactly as have many of your very informative presentations of which I have say here I am most greatfull for your amazing dedication and humanitarianism, thank you. Now with this latest presentation on the use of vitamin c,this so fits in with the little research I have done on my chronic AF I am going to commence vit c as soon as my order arrives and in due course I will let you know how I get on with it. Kind regards from South Australia, Robert Oldfield
Look up Dr Gupta's videos on vagal AF, and gastro-cardiac syndrome. It's real, I've lived with it for 30 years and know all the patterns. Also research Prof Coumel, the french cardiologist who first described it.
Thank you for this information. I will increase my vitamin C today! I don't take any prescriptions, but mostly control my Afib by avoiding certain foods and stress. I take magnesium, but had not heard of the possible benefits for Afib from vitamin C. It makes sense though. I stay away from sulfites, nitrites, sugar, etc. Also have histamine sensitivity and take a histamine blocker before eating. I learn so much and find great comfort from watching your videos. I strive to avoid those protocol methods and take care of my body naturally. I am 70, have had paroxsymal Afib for 15 years, and otherwise extremely healthy.. You are a Godsend to me and I am sure to many others. I will pray for you and your father. Please continue with the videos. They are needed by many.
Hi Nancy. I am most likely going to have an ablation very soon. How did you fare with the surgery itself? If I may ask.
Whoops sorry, the question was for another lady.
@@Emet-Debar that’s ok.
how much vitamin C did you take daily? Thanks.
Thankyou very much. It's nice to hear a doctor who has such an open mind. I'm sorry your father is sick. I pray for him and you and all.your family for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself as stress is not good for you. Thanks again for all you do for people to reassure as.
you are absolutely right. For so long doctors have ignored looking into natural food sources for health promotion, but instead concentrating on prescribing the latest and often expensive medications for patients.
Dr Gupta, I'm so grateful for the information you are providing and I'm so thankful that I found your channel. My husband was having seizures that were not due to epilepsy, but
from having over 46,000 PVC's. The doctors couldn't tell him anything, but I began to research and found that it was most likely due to magnesium deficiency. As soon as he started using a magnesium spray, he has been okay for over 4 months. Once again thank you for sharing your medical knowledge and compassion for the people!
Magnesium spray? Please share.

It's always interesting to hear about how politics and biases shape science. It's also nice to see a doctor promote a healthy amount of scepticism, critical analysis and patient driven care in spite of these influences. Wishing your father a speedy, full recovery and minimal stress for your family
Thank you Doctor for addressing natural treatments for A-fib. I will double my 1000 mg to 2000 mg a day, taken throughout the day. I am also going to prioritize getting a full 8 to 9 hrrs sleep since lack of sleep is a trigger for me. I find these small studies very convincing. The difference in the control group and the treated group is shockingly significant in all the studies you mention! So sorry to hear of your father's illness. Prayers for a quick recovery. 🙏
More than 1000mg of vit c a day can cause kidney stones.
Take 10000mg 2000mg not enough
I had cardiac ablation for afib 4 months ago. While I have had no breakthroughs I have had 30-40 ectopic beats a day. Sometimes less. Last week I started on 1000 mg vit c a day and the ectopic beats stopped after a day. Amazing. I never want to stop taking it.
Bro im having 10 thousand beats a day ....i don't know what to do ....can you help me
@@aqeelhaider1103 make sure by doing simple Potassium and Magnesium test, that your Potassium is at least 4.4 ( make sure not reaching 5) and your Magnesium at least 2,2 ( not much than 2.4)
and you are not dehydrated.
What brand please
Aqeel, I was having 8,000 pvcs a day and taking 200-500 mg of vitamin C powder really helped. I still have pvcs, but only a hundred or so throughout the day. I barely even notice them now, thanks to the Vit C
@@aqeelhaider1103 i had that off and on for years. Lately since I am now 71 I had 10k quite often. I tried everything. Ribose stopped them completely. I take 6 to 9 grams with meals. Now I am battling afib, but the arrhythmias are 99.9 % gone. I think my problem with afib is water. I drink 64 oz a day as of 2 days ago and eat dinner 5 hours before bed and I hope this works because I had a huge number of afibs but they never lasted more than 4 hours. Also take 8 grams magnesium, 800 mg potassium pills, carnitine 1.5 grams and coq10 300 mg per day. Vitamin C sounds good, like maybe every 1 or 2 hours throughout the day.
Sanjay, I hope your father is gonna get well. You really are a beautiful human being. I admire your dedication and competence as your colleague and follower. I also learn a lot from you. Thank you for everything you do. :)
Thank you. I take vitamin C daily. I would be delighted to take part in any informal study with fellow patients here.
How is it doing so far with vitamin C? Have your episodes decreased?
@@kathleenfubler431 I've been taking Vitamin C for a long time. Since 2015 I've needed to attend emergency about once every 10 or 11 months but I haven't needed to go now since October 2019, thank God.
Wow I am so impressed that a major medical dr such as yourself is willing to talk about these things and bring them to the public. Thank you!!!!
I personally take Ester C but think now I might include some ascorbic acid just to be on the safe side. I don't have any AF, but prevention is the best medicine :)
Blessings, may your father heal quickly and your life return to a more normal 👍
Thank you for this information. 3rd time in Afib within a 2 year period, 5th cardioversion coming at Stanford Medical and will get on a Vitamin C regimen.
Thank you again,
Cheers!
Praying for your Dad's recovery. I believe in miraculous healing. I am a born again Christian. Took care of my mom and dad. I have seen miracles in their lives. May you find peace and strength during these challenging times. Be well.
Very interesting information. Thank you for sharing. You are not only a great doctor, you are a son your father can be proud of. My prayers for his recovery to good health.
You are very much appreciated. Sorry about your dad and sending prayers your way. Thanks for all you do.

Wishing your Dad a speedy recovery. Thanks for all that you do.
What a commendable enlightened approach from Dr Gupta. Vitamin C has been used also to prolong life in the terminally ill, with excellent results. All patients of this open minded Cardiologist will be blessed indeed!
As an 86 year man who has had occasional A-Fib since childhood - my mother also had it - and after it got worse with age, though it usually switched to normal after two week period, I had a heart attack (Smoking related I believe, though I'd stopped a year earlier) with the heart attack they put two stents in me and my blood pressure dropped from150/90 before the heart attack down to low 95/60 and eventually approx 106/70 average since. I have fibrillated continually since 2017. Now I'm getting a lot of episodes of almost heart attack dull aches. The doctor increased my Bisoprolol to 7,5mg a day. Can't increase it more because it lowers BP. I've been searching for something natural to help. This video is exactly what I'd hoped to find. Many thanks for this info!!!
Hope you feel better
@@dougcoleburn1579 Well, I've just had more heart attacks and had another stent for which I am hugely grateful to Queen Elizabeth staff!!! Their dedication is beyond definition and wonderful - this applies to all levels!
@@Pegasus4213 sorry to hear that. God bless.
@@dougcoleburn1579 Thanks! Appreciate it!
I had serious AF and PVC's (Premature ventricular contractions) and two cardiologists and my family doctor strongly encouraged "heart ablation surgery". I declined. I started experimenting with time-restricted-eating (TRE), intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting. Within the first month a frostbite sore/scab that I had for 15 years (not a typo) healed beautifully. In the 8th month I got my CRP retested. It had been "off the charts" - a score of 12 where optimum is less than 1 and "normal" is 1 to 3. After 8 months of daily fasting (my eating window was usually 4 to 6 hours), my CRP was 0.01 - the lab was giddy with excitement and told me they had NEVER seen such a low score. At 70 years of age I am back to what I've done all my life - running, golfing, swimming, camping and biking - to name a few.
BUT here's the #1 thing to know and it's the first thing to try: DO NOT EAT AFTER SUNDOWN!!!!! NEVER EVER. Why? Because "eating even nutritious foods (after sundown) promotes serious inflammation" (Dr. Satchin Panda - researcher). I told a stranger that I met at a sports event about this #1 rule. I knew nothing about him. A month later, at another event he recognized me and came up to tell me that he had changed one thing in his life (a long-time insulin taking diabetic). He stopped eating after sundown. He reported that his AM glucose test was 78 - a number, he said, that he had not seen in a LONG time. He felt he might have a very different life in his old age (72+) than what he had been braced for. He also felt he would be soon reducing and then eliminating the drugs he was taking.
Interesting story on your AF and PVC's. Your results are remarkable. Are you taking any naturals? That was a high CRP. Mine got to 70. No fun. Mine is 1.0 now. Thanks
little O ...id like to know more...pls contact if u see this
@@craighughes4279 and how did you get in a better place with Afib?
@@cindysmith4998 my Afib is still with me. I exercise and build up my resistance before I play tennis or cycle. I have found out what foods don't work. Wine unfortunately can put me into Afib, so more. Adjustments can help. When I feel winded, I stop and rest. Suppose to have an Ablation, but waiting to see what happens over the next couple months. I do several naturals and they seem to help. Entresto helps with the heart failure. A good night's sleep is critical and staying hydrated. Hope this helps!
Thank you for being so pro the patient and not simply drug and intervention focused. You are a rarity in the contemporary medical establishment. We are in a pharmaceutical world and not committed to health and best practice. We have violated the most fundamental tenet of promoting health, not doing harm and least invasive care. Please keep up your commitment to public health.
My AF that I detected early COVID, was really ‘concerning’. I was afraid to recline in the evenings and lie down at bedtime. I believed that I have successfully managed it through the help of your evidence-based videos (body positioning and other non-invasive management strategies). I am so relieved to have found your videos. In addition to vitamin C supplementation, I also quit alcohol about the same time. Thank you so much. Professor-Elizabeth
Thank you for all your valuable videos. I will include your father in my prayers and you and all of your loved ones.🙏🙏🙏
Really interesting. I know one with a few attacks of AF, I will definitely tell him about this. Interesting when I watch videos done by hospitals and health authorities, they only focus on how to fix the numbers or treat symptoms, there isn't a single word or thought about the reason why it develops or why we are seeing more and more people getting this. That is why your channel is so much more interesting. Thanks so much for posting these videos.
We needs more docs like u
Just given my terminally ill husband high dose Vit C for his fast heartbeat as he was discharged from a medical facility without medication . So far his heart rate is decreasing. Thank you for sharing this information 🙌🏽
Sorryia I'm so sorry to hear this... Praying for you and your husband in jesus name AMEN.
@@michaelbroderick527 thank you for your kindness
May I ask what condition does he have?
How much mg per day
The commentary so reflected my experience of AF. Two episodes within a short space of time about two and a half years ago resulted in me taking beta blockers and blood thinners. Since then I have focussed even more on my diet and aim for a low GL intake, have introduced regular 30 minutes daily exercise to raise my pulse rate and also walk every day for c. 1 hour. I ensure that I get enough sleep and try to avoid stress and have been supplementing with vitamns C and D, although this latter has been to improve my immune system, but I'm heartened to hear that I have inadvertently stumbled on a natural aid to improve my condition. And the good news is that I have not had another episode. I have also recently started using Epsom salts in a weekly bath and that has improved noticeably my focus and energy levels and I understand now is also a natural assistant to improving AF.
I would also like to add my thanks for all the information on this subject that has been made available through your videos.
Do you still take the beta blockers??
Great that you are feeling better but do you still take the medication..? All the medication is ruining my hair 😢😢😢
@@christinebyrom4816 find out what the best vitamins and minerals are for hair and take them im taking coq10 magnesium. Vitamin c and cod liver oil pills aswell as a multivitamin/mineral and i have noticed my hair is looking better than ever (46 year old male) i also take the blood pressure meds
The whole gambit🙈🙈🙈blood thinners beta blockers water tablets feel ok it’s just the hair thing going to go down your route and follow your advice it’s very strange I was absolutely fine had a pneumonia vaccination the nurse said I may feel a bit off after about ten days low and behold that’s when the a fib started not sure of these vaccines anymore , I mentioned back to the nurse who gave me the vaccine and she denied saying that too me !very strange. Thankyou for your advice stay well regards christine
@@christinebyrom4816 i had a vaccine aswell ( covid) now i dont know for sure but i had a nice strong pulse and then after the vaccine shots i was told it was iregular and im still waiting for more tests and a echogram in september. I hope you get some good results with your hair mrs Byrom.
We need more doctors like this! He knows so much and I love it that he emphasizes nutrition and natural healing when possible instead of medication with so many side effects. Than you for the wonderful videos.
I’m having a second Cardioversion and I’m supplementing w/ Vitamin C and magnesium. I’m praying that it holds this time. Thank you for this useful information and your heart for serving humanity!
Dr. Gupta, you are indeed doing the work you were put on this earth to do. That blesses you as well as those whose lives you touch!
This was a very powerful video! I admire your honesty and your compassion for ALL people. Your perspective on medicine and health is inspiring.
What a brilliant information Dr Sanyad Gupta .My prayers for your Dad Blessings
I’m praying for you and your dad and family. God bless you! Thank you 😊

He his a Cardiologist,
Thank you Dr. Gupta for this video. Besides being a good doctor you a great human being. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have no idea why your video came up. I went to RUclips to look for a crocheting pattern and your video came up tops. I have the greatest respect for doctors who think outside the box. I have plenty of palpitations and hubby has intermittend afib. We'll try this.
Thanks for info we are praying for your fathers fast recovery . Thanks for taking out time for your fans thanks 🙏
Dr Gupta, you are operating your God given assignment, a blessing to the nations, you are God sent and I am truly humbled, thank you so much for helping us all, may wisdom and knowledge increase 🙌🏼
Thank You Dr Gupta. You have done a great service to humanity.
May God bless you. May the Almighty bring good health to your parents.
Trust the Almighty for His delivery and have faith. Peace.
Should we ever chance to meet ,I shall give you a hug to thank you for all the hope and guidance you so compassionately share. A light for me you are. Thank you.
Thank you for putting this video out! You have opened my eyes to information that I have been hunting for. I went for a check up and the doctor realized I was in a fib. It was during Covid this last year. The following day I was admitted as an outpatient for electric shock therapy to stop the a fib. Afterwards I was given both a blood thinner and a beta blocker and was told I need to take them for the rest of my life. I am not a pill taker by nature and I gag every day when I take my hand full. Tomorrow I’m going to buy myself some vitamin C and I also forwarded this video to my cousin who suffers daily with a fib! Again, thank you so much for posting this video!
hi, did vitamin C help you and your cousin?
@@adventureparx Eyetique immunity support vitamins every day part of the combination is 500 mg vitamin C daily it’s also B6, B12, zinc, manganese and I take them every day in the morning.
Dr Gupta.. will keep you and your Dad in my prayers. God bless you!
Thank you Sanjay what an very interesting and informative analysis of vit c after heart surgery. love all your great videos about numerous health topics, please keep them coming, and i truly hope your father makes a good recovery. Thank you.
I love your work as a nurse I have become disillusioned over how much Dr dont know about natural,natures products. Well done. Love and best wishes to you your Dad and family.
Drs don't want to hear you talk about alternative medicine. They are owned by the drug cos.
Extremely useful! Thank you. Prayers for your father and family!
P.S. THANK YOU! For researching, posting, and taking time to share during the intense time of caring for a parent, I've been through thst journey, too. Bless you and your family through this challenging time. I look back with such gratitude that it was my privilege to share the last leg of their life journey with my parents. Every extension of time is such a grace. I wish you peace and serenity......
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Loss of a parent is a difficult transition...give yourself time... grief takes time...and its different for us all.
Big hugs 🙏🌻🙏
So sad
Thankyou and blessings for your fathers full recovery.
Hope your father get well soon!! Thanks for you marvelous as always video.
Hello Dr G. These are great videos and such a change from most cardiologists who are only interested in treatment.
My experience: at 25 after suffering from bad acne on my body for 10 years I increased my vit C from 800mg to 1500mg. My acne went in 3 days, as my skin healed up (?increased collagen production) and hasn't recurred. So the usual 1g per day may not be enough for everyone esp athletes (I was exercising v hard at the time). I've taken 2g for 30 years with no issues.
Secondly, I've had frequent PVCs (every 5 beats or so) for a few years and now after taking Mg (3-600mg/d) they have reduced to once in every 15 or so.
Please keep up the brilliant work
I remember my EP Doctor told me my AFIB would come back despite having multiple cardioversions and an ablation. Well, this is great news you provided on top of the publication from the international journal of disease reversal and prevention how a whole-food, plant-based diet may be an effective intervention for reducing or eliminating AF recurrence. Science of nutrition is my medicine.
What if you’re on a blood thinner like Pradaxa?
I don’t think it’s just about plant based- some plants in my experience can create inflammation especially those with lectin- I got very obese going vegetarian… I’m now eggs meat and sweet potatoes and vegetables and I’m much better
@@top1cat01 u beat me too it...steak and eggs will cure anything
This is something I found out about just a week ago so I am trying it out, I take 500mg every four hours except for sleeping, then I will take it if I wake to use the restroom then resume in the A.M. no side effects of any kind as yet, but I do seem to have more energy and feel better. Thank you for all you positive and logical information, and my best wishes for your father and family.
Thank you so much. I watched your other videos and have stopped taking my acid reflux medicine and picked up magnesium. I will also now get some vitamin C. I wish more doctors were like you.
So sorry about your dad. Hope he gets well soon.
Thank you so much! I take vit C and magnesium and it's good to hear I'm doing the right thing.
I hope your Dad is soon recovered.
You are a great man,to help people with out drugs!!!
Thank you for you're compassion. ❤🙌🙏
Thank you Dr Gupta. This relates to our conversation the other week, so I will try to take more vit C. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and may your father get well very soon
Bless u Dr. Gupta! Words fail my brain to thank you enough but my heart blesses you.
Many thanks, so interesting. Will certainly give it a try. Best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery for your father.
Amen Dr Gupta l had afib in 2019 and my cardiologist recommended heart ablation surgery. Than l had attack again in 2022 but on the opposite side. I had my second heart ablation surgery. I was taking vitamin C. I am so blessed to have a cardiologist that cares. He reminds me of you how you are helping others.
I'm sorry to hear about that and wish your dad speedy recovery.
Afib and indeed Aflutter (AFL) has been identified as THE LEADING risk factor in developing severe Covid19. I had an Aflutter more than 4 years ago but have since lost weight, started rigorous exercise and laid off carbs and sugar. I will be sure to add Vitamin C to my daily supplementation. Thanks Dr. Gupta.
Thank you for this video.
Sending much blessings to you, your father and your family and I hope your father recovers soon 🙏🏾
