Hi md4 - Are you working with a ND who specializes in AF and related, overlapping conditions? I found out I had a very severe case of AF 21 years ago, and found a ND who recovered from a very severe case of it years before. Her name is Rose Mary Camren, and she has done a great job of helping me recover from my AF and some overlapping conditions. She can work with you via telephone and e-mail after you mail her a saliva sample. Please let me know if you'd like me to get you in touch with her.
