Re: Juice fasting with heart problems: ok?

I've had diagnosed afib off and on for about five or six years though after being diagnosed with it, I know that it's been around much longer than that.

I did a 20 day juice fast about 15 years ago with no adverse effects.  Then about 3 years ago (knowing at that time that I had afib) I started a juice fast just to see how long I could last.  On the third day I became very light headed and had to sit down and knowing I had afib immediately ended my juice fast.  Light headedness and vertigo/dizziness is one major symptom of afib yet I thought I could feel the symptoms long before they got to that level.  

Am not saying that you shouldn't juice fast but my suggestion is that you should really be aware of your body and then stop the fast at the first sign of afib.

In searching CureZone regarding afib I found a site where the person who had afib tied it to eating carbohydrates, particularly processed carbohydrates.  I have experienced the same thing and so I'm limiting carbohydrates of all kinds.  Here is his CZ post: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1898017#i
