Glad you found it.
The HeartHealth book is a very informative book.

Here is a recent essay by Dr. Sircus on how he himself dealt with a friend who was having a slow and irregular heartbeat.

I have just downloaded the introduction of the Heart Health book – thanks so much for this web site and all the work you do!

thank you for your quick answer!

Unfortunately, after 3 days in hospital my husband was released with a recommendation to come back in 3 months time and no obvious explanation of his bradycardia. I thought the cause of his bradycardia could be hypo/hyperthyroidism since his mom has problems with her thyroid gland but those tests were fine. Doctors kept asking him about recent viral infections and high fevers but he had none (the latest high fever was 3 years ago – 39,5 C during 2 days, for no obvious reasons as it was during summer).

His heartbeat was always lower as in his youth he actively played sports (now not on a daily basis, rather once a week) but we never realized he has low blood pressure.

He does drink lots of water. Thanks for your advice about raising his feet, at least something we can rely on when he has this feeling of fainting. Will also look into hawthorn products.

How do I schedule a consultation with Dr.Sircus? Apologies if this info is already on your web page but I did not have time to search it carefully (2 small kids running around the house… :-))

We do not have a blood pressure testing machine, but we can buy one.

Many thanks!

A pulse of 52 is not uncommon for trained athletes. However a pulse of 36 is definetly dangerous as the heart is not pumping properly and blood cannot get to the tissues as fast as it is needed. This could lead to heart attack.

Causes of bradycardia must be established as there are a number of different things that cause this. Bradycardia is increasingly dangerous when it is accompanied by the additional symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, fainting and a low blood pressure. These are danger signs and require that some action be taken asap.

Yes, magnesium can lower the pulse and the blood pressure so must be used with caution and under proper medical supervision. It is important to have adequate magnesium levels for normal heart rythym.

Today drugs are used to combat too low a heart beat…your doctor may have given you some to take if this happens often. Sometimes a cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator are recommended.

other more natural things to try are immediately increasing water intake to bring up the fluid volume in the vessels. He can lay withh his feet higher than his head to increase circulation to the heart and brain. Change positions slowly, do not get up too fast. Others may have other recommendations. Hawthorn has been used to strengthen the heart and vessels.

It sounds like you need a consultation with Dr. Sircus to discuss this situation further….and I hope you have a blood pressure testing machine at home so it can be tracked when this happens.

A careful balance of mineral intake is needed here…including magnesium and calcium.

I am writing on behalf of my husband who is 41 years old. He has a stressful job and a month ago he got sick during a meeting – dizziness, chest pain, difficulty in breathing and feeling that he will faint.

He was hospitalized and was diagnosed Sinus Bradycardia (low heart beat). He has a slightly enlarged heart but all the CT scans of his heart and arteries were fine. During 24-hour monitoring of his blood pressure it was discovered that he also has low blood pressure. After 3 days in the hospital and numerous check ups he was released home with no therapy, as all was fine.

He plays football occasionally, doesnt smoke and tries to stay fit. However, after two weeks of sick leave (during which he was free of any above mentioned symptoms), he is again experiencing dizziness and lack of air.

I have been researching magnesium chloride and realized it is really recommended in cases of heart arrythmias, but on several web sites I found warnings that MC should not be taken if a person has problems with kidneys, low heart beat and low blood pressure.
Now what is true? Can my husband take magnesium chloride or not?

His regular heart beat is around 52 (lowest was 36 and highest 92 during 24 hour monitoring) and his blood pressure is around 90-60, but the doctor said that his pressure was always lower than the minimum normal level during 24 hour monitoring.

Thank you for you time and looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

Whatever sodium thiosulfate you purchase , it needs to be used in a 10% concentration. I have heard that the sodium thiosulfate sold in pool stores is 100% sodium thiosulfate so it would need to mixed with water to reach a 10% solution. Some chemical supply houses sell sodium thiosulfate already made into a 10% solution….so no mixing is required. Other than that I do not know if the sodium thiosulfate differs in pool stores or photograph use… no other adddtives should be in the product purchased.

Also I can’t answer about the chemical reaction between mag chloride and sodium thiosulfate. If you can ask a chemist please let us know. If there’s no problem with the mixing, you would only need very little of the sodium thiosulfate but we have not experimented with this so you would be doing this as a trial and error experiment. Please let us know the results!! We generally recommend taking thiosulfate orally in water using 1-3 drops or grains in an 8 oz glass of water. We also recommend adding it to your baths, but generally not at the same time as magnesium. If any other readers can help answer these questions, I hope they will respond here.

Thanks for the interesting questions.

Is their any difference in the sodium thiosulfate I can get for photograph developing as I can get from a pool supply store? The one for pools costs more.

Also, do I use the sodium thiosulfate mixed with the magnesium oil to rub on? If so, how much do I add per ounce of magnesium?

Equal amounts of magnesium and calcium would be a 1:1 ratio. This is for a person who is NOT magnesium deficient. For those who are deficient, much more magnesium is needed to bring the magnesium levels up in our bodies. We do not need to at the same time increase calcium because we get more than enough in our forticied diets. Its estimated that we get more than 6xs the amount of calcium than we do magnesium . Only if you begin to show symptoms of calcium deficiency will you need to increase calcium. Just make sure you are taking in a good amount in your diet.

Once you have replenished your magnesium stores (after about 1-2 months of daily use, you can then cut back on the amount of magnesium used.

No it is not beneficial to take in so much more calcium than magnesium.

Sorry to sound so dense, but, I need to re-affirm something. Are you saying that, for instance, if I take 500 mg of Calcium, then I should also take 500 mg of Magnesium. Would that be a 1:1 ratio? But, then if that is so, how will I receive the benefits of Magnesium, using it at that dose. Is taking more Calcium than Magnesium beneficial, as we get so much Calcium from other sources. Sorry for not understanding. I am thyroidless, and sometimes, a little foggy. I received my Transdermal Mag today, and cannot wait. Just want to use it properly. Thank you.

The proper balance between calcium and magnesium is 1:1 or 2:1 calcium to magnesium and NOT the 6+:1 ratio that most people get in thier daily diets today!

Not all magnesium oil is the same nor obtained from the same place or processed in the same manners. Not all have the same purity as Dr. Sircus has found in Ancient Minerals Magnesium OIl and not all will be appropriate for all the uses he recommends, for example use in the eyes and for ingestion.

Hope your mag oil comes soon!
