The AFib Cure: Get Off Your Medications, Take Control of Your Health, and Add Years to Your Life by John D. Day
John D. Day . Unknown Year . English
Most doctors will tell you that there isn't much you can do to treat atrial fibrillation, aside from taking medications for the rest of your life. Cardiologists and a-fib specialists John D. Day and T. Jared Bunch disagree. Atrial fibrillation strikes one in four American adults. Not only do people suffering from this condition suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort, decreased ability to exercise and do activities of daily living, arrhythmia, and palpitations, but their risk of a stroke, cognitive decline and dementia, heart failure, or premature death also shoots way up. Today, a whole new body of research—one most physicians are unaware of—shows that biomarker and lifestyle optimization may put half the cases of atrial fibrillation into remission without drugs or procedures. And for those in whom these remedies are insufficient or not tolerated, new procedures, in combination with biomarker and lifestyle optimization, may offer lifetime remission from atrial fibrillation and its devastating consequences. In clear, accessible, patient-centric language, Drs. Day and Bunch share their revolutionary approach to treating atrial fibrillation, developed through a combined 53 years working with a-fib patients. The effectiveness of their plan has been proven through countless medical studies. And now, in The AFib Cure: Get Off Your Medications, Take Control of Your Health, and Add Years to Your Life, they share that plan with you. If you're looking for a drug-free solution to your atrial fibrillation, or have a family history of atrial fibrillation and don't want to suffer the same fate, The AFib Cure is for you. Let The AFib Cure show you how to live longer, healthier, free from medications, and free from the fear of atrial fibrillation overshadowing your life.

Dr. T. Jared Bunch a native of Logan Utah graduated from Utah State University with University and Department honor and received the Bill Robbins memorial award for leadership, service, and academics. He then graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine and received alpha omega alpha honors. He completed internal medicine residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. During residency he received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Department of Medicine, the Resident Research Award from the Department of Medicine, and the Donald J. Feist Primary Care Clinic Award for Clinical Excellence. He completed fellowships in cardiovascular diseases and electrophysiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. He received the Mayo Brothers Distinguished Fellowship Award for clinical care of patients and the Donald C. Balfour Award for meritorious research. He served as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic from 2003-2007. After fellowship he joined the cardiovascular team at Intermountain Heart Institute and directed heart rhythm research. He served as the medical director of heart rhythm services for Intermountain Healthcare. At Intermountain Medical Center he received the Physician Researcher of the Year for the Intermountain Healthcare System in 2014 and in 2017. In 2012, he was awarded a Healthcare Hero Award for Innovation by the Utah Business Association. While at Intermountain Healthcare he also was an Affiliated Clinical Associate Professor for Stanford University from 2015-2019. In 2019 he left Intermountain Healthcare to join the faculty at the University of Utah School of Medicine as a Professor of Medicine. He is currently the section chief for Heart Rhythm Disorders in the Division of Cardiology. In 2020, he was award the James Youngblood award for leadership from the Heart Rhythm Society. He is active in the Heart Rhythm Society and has served as an ambassador for Central and South America and Southeast Asia. He is the founding editor of the Heart Rhythm Case Reports Journal. He is a section editor for Current Cardiology Risk Reports, Heart Rhythm Journal, and a guest editor for American Heart Journal. He is on the editorial boards of the Heart Rhythm Journal, Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Heart, American Heart Journal, JACC electrophysiology, and the Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management. Dr. Bunch is interested in the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, in particular nonpharmacologic strategies such as catheter ablation and in enhancing the safety of both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments. His current research involves defining mechanisms underlying the association of atrial fibrillation and dementia and looking at therapeutic opportunities to lower risk of cognitive decline, the integration of wearable and implantable devices to improve early diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias, and in improve mapping and catheter ablation of arrhythmias.
