What Aggravates Arrhythmia?
Question: Does bacteria and virus in the blood affect the all around heart of the electrical system that generates
the right heartbeat? A blood analyst tested my blood under a microscope (from a slide) and said that
there is a chance that if the bacteria & virus was removed from the blood by "Body Anew" homeopathic
drops which cleanses the liver, kidney & lymph systems, that It may be possible that I may not need my
defibulator, pacemaker anymore because my oxygen capacity has been hampered. My first symptoms were arrithmia, then it progressed to hidden points
of exertion that would cause a racing heartbeat & fatigue. I presently have a cardiologist and a primary M.D who also practices alternative health and I asked them to read my live blood cell analysis, and they said they were not taught the in med school. Right now I am taking sotalol and varapamil both 120 mg
Dr. recommended twice a day but because I take my blood pressure every day I have only needed to take
the meds once a day. Thanks, XXXX

Brief Answer:
Yes, infection can trigger/aggravate arrhythmia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Infection can trigger or aggravate arrhythmia.
So, once you treat infection properly, arrhythmia problems will be stabilised.
Now, I advise to treat infection first, then to run Holter monitoring.
If arrhythmia will not be present then infection was the cause. In this case anti arrhythmic drugs are not necessary.
If arrhythmia will persist then should go further to determine the final cause.
All the best!

Dear Dr. Benard,
Thank you for input to my concerns. Based on what you have said so far, the condition of the blood, when involuntary stress steps in the polluted blood breaks down and causes an episode of an abnormal high pulse rate. My pulse formerly was below normal, but even in at rest after an episode my pulse would recover slowly which didn't seem right to me. You said to treat infection. How would I do that?
Could my constant high blood pressure presence must be because of the viscosity of the blood because of an over whelmed amount of pollution in the blood. Would chelation of the blood be a way to help my condition and where do I go to have that done? I have also been in metal work (metal dust, etc.) all of my life and I was brought up on a dairy where I worked as a small child standing in bare feet on cow dung. Could these thing be affecting me still?
My goal is to stop taking my meds (because it does affect my sex life somewhat) and to have my defibulator removed. I havebeen shocked several times when I forget that I can't exert myself, however my cardiologist did raised the trigger point up to 170 beats just recently. I actually feel good and I like to work hard. I still lift weights and have a lot of energy. Thanks again for being open minded enough to find solutions for me... XXXX

Brief Answer:
Following answers to your queries...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for following up.
Generally, what we eat, drink, inhale will affect our body, and heart work in particular.
If you have been exposed to heavy metal, that could be another cause to your actual heart problems.
The main idea is to prevent onset of damages. If they have already occurred, 2are the main goals:
- prevent further damage
- stabilize the ones already settled
This is what have happened in your case. The damages to your heart have been already settled.
The aim of treatment is to keep your health stable and prevent aggravation of current problems.
Every thing you would try, will aim the same. For the moment, I advise to get current treatment first, then you should ask your doctor for a reevaluation of your case for next steps.
All the best!
