Cardiac Rehab with Magnesium

Share Button

Increasing dietary magnesium intake is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, heart failure, diabetes, and all-cause mortality, but not CHD or total CVD.

I am a long-term  survivor of a blood cancer called multiple myeloma. I have ignored my heart failure issues for years. Living with an incurable cancer distracted me. A diagnosis of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy in early 2019 forced me to focus on my cardiac rehabilitation.

Once I began researching heart health issues, I realized I have been doing many things right since I developed atrial fibrillation (a-fib) in late 2010. First and foremost, I focused on magnesium.

I recently joined a Facebook group for cardiomyopathy survivors. Members talk a lot about the side effects of conventional heart health medications.

The two cardiologists that I’ve seen over the past 3 years talked little about non-toxic heart therapies. Few of the FB group members talk about non-toxic therapies.

I determined to work at my cardiac rehabilitation utilizing evidence-based, non-toxic heart health therapies before I turn to the toxic meds like beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, etc.

Magnesium (Mg), both dietary and supplemented, is central to a host of bodily functions-primarily heart health. Getting enough Mg into my body is pretty easy for me for two reasons. First, I like many of the Mg rich foods listed below and second, I supplement with Mg.

While I think I do pretty well with dietary forms of magnesium I supplement Mg as well. I stir a supplement called Neuro-Mag into my juice every morning before breakfast. I supplement with this form of magnesium because threonate is brain healthy according to research.

    Hi Sheila-

    I follow a number of therapies shown to rehab heart function. Not only magnesium but also CoQ10, cocoa, etc. Do you have chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy or other chemo-induced side effects? Did you undergo cardio toxic chemo regimens?

    Don’t mean to be nosey. Just curious.

I was born with heart disease along with other ailments. Coq10 and hawthorn berry extract are also very beneficial. I was diagnosed with kappa light chain mm in dec 2019.
It’s been a roller coaster ride ever since. Your website is helping me to understand my condition better thank you!

    Hi Bruce-

    Great to read that PBC is helping you. What is the status of your MM? Did your conventional treatments, if any, cause damage to your heart? How are you managing both MM and heart disease at the same time?

    Just curious, thanks.
