Daniel Shares About A-Fib: “I Have Gotten a Lot of Bad Advice From Various GPs”
Advice from a patient now free from the burden of Atrial Fibrillation: Educate yourself on all treatment options before making decisions.
Daniel Doane, Sonora, California, talks about all the false info he got from doctors.
“Don’t believe your GP. I have gotten a lot of bad advice from various GPs.
Daniel D.
• ‘Just take a little digoxin and you will be fine.’
• ‘You are probably missing some micro-nutrient. If you buy this product I sell, it may well provide that and stop your A-Fib.’
• ‘I think that all of these tests your EP is requesting are just a waste of money.’
• (From a cardiologist) ‘Don’t worry about a little A-Fib. It won’t kill you.’ ““If you have Atrial Fibrillation, see an electrophysiologist. If you aren’t comfortable with what they are saying, see another one.”
Daniel did his research and is now A-Fib-free after a Totally Thoracoscopic (TT) Mini-Maze operation.
If you want to read more of Daniel Doane’s story, you’ll find it on pp. 152-162 in Beat Your A-Fib: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Cure by Steve S. Ryan, PhD. Learn more about my book.
