Iodine and thoughts on the spiritual

I saw some of that in my original search and also in the link you gave to your other support group.  In my original quest I think that not knowing what would or wouldn't work I chalked up both lodoral and Lugol's as rather expensive, so went as close as I could to a natural source.  If I were able to eat kelp, I'd do so directly, but it's not on my list.  I live by the salt water and know that people in the area harvest it, and it's available in many Asian stores in the area.  So, I went the kelp pill route.

This is off topic, but I feel I simply have to mention it.....  From what I gather, you didn't experience afib until your return from your tour in the Middle East.  I don't know your level of spiritual interest, and by spiritual I mean you as spirit - not religion.  I have been practicing meditation for more than 25 years.  Not the cross legged variety, but the kind where you sit quietly, turn within, activate your energy system including chakras, and clear that out.  In those years I've hit loads of "gunk" relative to childhood experiences, combat (Korea), air disaster (I survived by parachute), and the most aggravating of all regarding the fourth or heart chakra, relationships.  This past year I've done a lot of work on that fourth chakra level and have cleaned stuff out of there.  How much of a factor that has been regarding afib, I just don't know, but I do know that one of my ex's (I have two) was/is very capable of disrupting that area of my reality and I've done a lot of healing on that level.  (I'm sure she will say the same of me.  We are both into spiritual healing activities.)  I also do and have done spiritual healing (I see there's and energy healing on CureZone and that's what I'm referring to) and had it done on me.  Not everything is totally physical, and the physical and spiritual can work together.  Just some thoughts.
