I was very impressed during my consultation with Dr Durham with the depth of research he had already carried out regarding my potential heart condition. It was very reassuring that he had gone back through all my YD hospital records and also impressive that he had managed to obtain the results of my 24 hour heart monitor. I am also grateful that he has suggested I use Magnesium Taurate to manage my condition rather than immediately using Beta blockers. I am taking the MT and will continue to do so as I think it is a very useful supplement. All the more amazing as in general practice supplements dont seem to be considered or known about. I am enormously grateful for my experience seeing Dr Durham.
