Taurine helped restore my heart rhythm
I found Taurine quite by "accident". Had decided to eat sardines for breakfast for a change. By day 4 of this routine I noticed my heart arrhythmias, which had been a constant in my life for a few years, had mysteriously trailed off to almost none. Curious and pleased I searched online to find if there was anything in sardines or fish that affected heart rhythm, and the amino acid Taurine popped up...apparently fish is a rich source of Taurine. So I continued with fish for breakfast, alternating with canned chub mackerel and canned Alaska salmon, and I began supplementing with Taurine, such as this product by NOW. I also found info online indicating that hospitals sometimes employ Taurine to counter irregular heart rhythm. I have had a pacemaker for 3 years, but it did not affect episodes of afibrillation or PVCs...but it does keep a record of such events. In the spring of 2015 my pacemaker was "interrogated" at the doctor's office and reported 6,600 instances of irregular heartbeat...a year later in May of 2016 the interrogation reported only 33! I'm thankful to God for the improvement. Interestingly, my doctor never suggested Taurine and made no comment when I mentioned what a help it is...except that she added Taurine to the list of supplements taken "as reported by the patient". If it sparked a flicker of interest on her part, I could not tell. For my superannuated fellows, I might add I am a month short of age 80, feel quite well, and except for Taurine have been taking many vitamins and supplements for years
