Atrial Fibrillation is Mostly Caused By Poor Health Care
And doctors can often fix it without surgery, cardiac ablations and other risky procedures
A Fib was something we never heard much about years ago. That’s because it wasn’t common. I never heard of it until about 15 years ago.
Why? Because doctors weren’t causing A Fib back in the day.
They are causing A Fib now.
A Fib is mostly iatrogenic. Meaning it is caused by health care.
And the “cure” is further procedures. Of course. Cardiac ablation being a common one.
Mayoclinic.org describes side effects of the ablation procedure:
Bleeding or infection at the area where the catheters were placed.
Blood vessel damage.
Heart valve damage.
New or worsening irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias.
Slow heart rate that could require a pacemaker to fix.
Blood clots in the legs or lungs.
Stroke or heart attack.
Narrowing of the veins that carry blood between the lungs and heart, called pulmonary vein stenosis.
Damage to the kidneys from dye, called contrast, used to see the arteries during the treatment.
The cause of A Fib is poor thyroid function
Most A Fib is caused by high rT3, high T4, and low T3. T4 is levothyroxine, the synthetic version of the thyroid hormone. T4 is supposed to be turned into the active form of thyroid hormone, which is triiodothyronine.
If you just take T4, it converts into the reverse T3, rT3, which jams up the receptors and makes thyroid status worse.
It is poor medicine and verging on malpractice for doctors to just prescribe the T4 form of thyroid.
And that’s the problem.
T4 is prescribe routinely without T3. And the T4 turns into rT3, and A Fib is the result.
A Fib often resolves itself by taking T3
I’ve posted on this for months, but nobody ever comments. Doctors give me blank stares.
They can talk all day about cauterizing the heart muscle. But when it comes to simple solutions like proper thyroid supplementation, they look at you like you have three heads.
It is so typical of what I find in all my years of health research.
Doctors just are so rigidly trained not to be actual scientists and to read the literature. It’s sad.
Here are just a few of the many studies backing up my position that A Fib is created by doctors prescribing only T4, or by doctors not prescribing T3 when they should.

The incidence of sinus tachycardia and ventricular arrhythmias were similar between groups. Triiodothyronine-treated patients had a lower incidence of atrial fibrillation (24% versus 46%; p = 0.009), and fewer required cardioversion (0 versus 6; p = 0.012) or anticoagulation (2 versus 10; p = 0.013) during hospitalization. Six patients in the T3 group versus 16 in the placebo group required antiarrhythmic therapy at discharge (p = 0.019).

In a group of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery, there was a strong association between a postoperative decrease of serum triiodothyronine levels and atrial fibrillation.

Low basal fT3 concentration can reliably predict the occurrence of postoperative AF in CABG patients.
