Re: Found the true cause of AF

I will call your statement at the top of the list a lie.  Not everyone who cruises the AF forum has the symptoms that you attribute to them.  Not at all.

"First off, I think all of us on here were born with weak adrenals, and a weak thyroid....."

PTSD and war trauma?  I've been able to fully recover from that with meditation, which has allowed me to get a college education and have a professional career.

In fact, I believe that meditation will cure many ills or our society including AF (which is not even accepted by the medical community) - it rewires the brain.  You may wish to try it sometime.

Eight weeks of mindfulness meditation can rewire the brain and control depression symptoms

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

(NaturalNews) Is it possible to sort of "rewire" your brain so you can better control imposing symptoms of depression and angst? The short answer, according to recent new research, is yes, and it all it takes in large part is some "mindfulness meditation."

According to a study which appeared more than a year-and-a-half ago, in the January 2011 journal of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, a team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers reported that an eight-week program called mindfulness meditation was able to make measurable changes in parts of the brain associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress.

The study is the first to document meditation-created changes to the brain.

"Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day," said the study's senior author, Sara Lazar, PhD, of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program.

"This study demonstrates that changes in brain structure may underlie some of these reported improvements and that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time relaxing," she said.
