Why Consider Oral Chelation for your Arteries and Heart

By Orlando Singh

We all warned about high cholesterol foods and how we shouldnt eat too many of them because they contribute to heart disease and the risks of heart attacks and strokes. What is not as well understood is that rogue calcium mixes with the cholesterol to form a hard plaque on the artery walls.

Calcium which is a heavy metal can be released by our bones as we age, so essentially soft goo of cholesterol in the arteries is hardened when it traps calcium that is floating in the blood stream. The more the cholesterol calcium bind together and harden and trap more cholesterol and calcium the risk of blockage, heart attacks and strokes rise dramatically. The concept is that since calcium is a heavy metal, chelation can help cleanse and flush the plaque from the body

Do you have these danger signs of artery plaque build up? Chest Pains Erectile Dysfunction Poor circulation including cold hands, feet or arms? Do you get out of breath easily? Do you have memory loss frequently? Are you frequently tired and lacking energy? Slurred speech Headaches After walking do you experience aches and pains? Are there any indications of cardiovascular problems? High Blood Pressure

Consider these statistics from the American Heart Association: -approximately one-third (34%) of cardiovascular disease deaths occur prematurely! (before age 75). -Post-menopausal women are in as much danger as men of suffering heart attacks or strokes. -Million Americans Die each year from Cardiovascular Disease. (150,000 of those are under the age of 65!)

Chelation therapy with EDTA was first introduced in the United States in 1948 as a treatment for the lead poisoning- of workers in a battery factory. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Navy advocated chelation for sailors who had absorbed lead while painting government ships and facilities. The FDA approved IV EDTA chelation as a treatment for lead poisoning. Physicians administering the chelation for lead toxicity observed that patients- who also had atherosclerosis (fatty-plaque buildup on arterial walls) or arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) experienced reductions- in both conditions after chelation. Since 1952, IV EDTA chelation has been used to treat cardiovascular disease. - 16004
