Metabolic Cardiology

Hello dear friends.
It's now gonna on 8 weeks since becoming 100% pacemaker dependent. I am still regaining my strength each day. I went back to my Dr for another check up and he said he would see me every 3 months. My pacemaker is one of the newest Boston's pm. advised me to continue to eat right and exercise and stay healthy. advised me to read this book Metabolic Cardiology written by Dr Stephen T Sinatra. well I have finished reading it and I was curious if any of you guys have tried or heard of any of the therapeutic intervention. Super nutrients coenzyme Q 10, L-carnitine and D-ribose. I realize that having this pacemaker,and the A V node ablation was the last resort but if there is any of you that have tried any of these supplements and saw any changes, I would like to know. When I see the EKG, my AFIB is still very bad even though I no longer feel it . I want to try this and see if MAYBE there is something to the heart disease solution and see if I can get my heart back healthy.Looking forward to some comments from my pacemaker friends.

Praying everyone has a Blessed Easter.
Pat

Yesterday I moved to a new place in my mind and realized how bad I felt 'before' and the difference my pacemaker has made.
