#45 A-Fib Case Study 2025
Dr. Wade discusses his experience with treating a colleague dealing with secondary symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AFib), emphasizing the importance of understanding the autonomic nervous system's role in cardiac function. He explains the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems, highlighting their balance and impact on the body. Dr. Wade also mentions the patient's upcoming cardioversion and the need for medical interventions as the primary care protocol to determine medically the cause and treatment options. The role of this request, to be fully transparent is that of a supportive nature at the patient's request. I do NOT treat AFib or other heart conditions. It's imperative to understand the stress response and its importance in evaluating the patient's autonomic nervous system to prevent abnormal signals causing conditions like AFib. Additionally, Dr. Wade discusses the significance of spinal alignment and neural tone in maintaining overall health and homeostasis, particularly in relation to the hypothalamus's role in maintaining pH, body temperature, blood volume and constituents within the blood. There is brief description of what Homeostasis is and its importance. The key with this brief episode is to gain perspective on the causes behind Atrial Fibrillation, not as an "All inclusive" meta-analysis or a specific treatment FOR AFib, but for insight in patient's holistic options that may get at the heart of the problem (pun intended), the autonomic nerve system, electrical circuitry of the heart, trace and alkaline minerals, fat and protein digestion and assimilation and the down stream effects of chronic stress and the depletion of foundational minerals affecting enzyme production and homeostasis. The connections between spinal health, stress and resetting the internal mechanisms within the body without invasive drugs or surgeries are specifically sought after in today's health care arena. It is to these patients I serve. Cheers, Dr. Wade www.drwadeanunson.com
