Ryan, this is Most interesting and Very informative. Can you talk about natural remedies. I was diagnosed with mild AFib and was given a prescription of Eliquis. I opted out of the medicine and elected to take a natural homemade cocktail of spices and tea. I’ve had three check ups in the last 7 months and there was no detection of AFib . I’m a new fan. Thank your mother for making us aware of your well done podcast . Paige McGaughey, Fruit Cove, Florida
