Vitamin C Keeps Heartbeat Steady
Question: I recently underwent cardioversion treatment for my irregular heartbeat. I know the fibrillation can come back—what can I do to reduce my chances of a quick recurrence?
Dr. Wright: Recently, a group of Greek researchers reported that plain old vitamin C can significantly decrease recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardioversion treatment. There hasn't yet been any long-term follow-up research. But with all the other health benefits of vitamin C, it certainly couldn't hurt to take 2 grams (or perhaps a bit more) each day.
Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. has degrees from both Harvard University (cum laude) and the University of Michigan. More than any other doctor, he practically invented the modern science of applied nutritional biochemistry and he has advanced nutritional medicine for nearly three decades.
As of today, Dr. Wright has received over 35,000 patient visits at his now-famous Tahoma Clinic in Washington State.

The benefits of Vitamin C have been well researched - google the Rath Institute. Linus Pauling and Matthias Rath conducted serious study trials in these regards. Whilst Pauling has passed on, Rath continues the work. The Institute has also found a reduction in certain cancers with the use of C.
