ORAL CHELATORY-Rx # 65

Cardiovascular disease is the leading health problem in the western world, in 1988 nearly one million Americans died of cardiovascular disease, making it the number one killer in the United States. Each year nearly three hundred thousand-bypass surgeries and two hundred fifty thousand angioplasties are performed in the United States. Furthermore, nearly twenty thousand deaths occur each year as a result of these procedures. In 1992, Nortin Hadler, MD, Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, wrote that none of the two hundred-fifty thousand balloon angioplasties performed the previous year could be justified, and that only three to five percent of the three hundred thousand coronary artery bypass surgeries done the same year were actually indicated.  An estimated 50 million Americans are afflicted with heart and blood vessel disease, most don’t know that they are a heart attack just waiting to happen, mainly because they have no symptoms.  

The cardiovascular system, simply stated, is comprised of the heart and blood vessels; the heart pumps the blood through every blood vessel within the body and nourishes every cell. When the cardiovascular system is in peak performance every bodily function breathes in life, but if it slows down just a bit, everything suffers.  Some of the signs to be aware of are shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, stress, rapid heartbeat, headaches, sweating and high blood pressure.  Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke, and also greatly increases the risk of heart attack, heart failure, and kidney failure.

Now enough about the problems, how about a solution! 

Chelation (key-LAY-shun) comes from the Greek Word chele meaning "to claw" or "to bind." In Chelation therapy, the product used is EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid); EDTA rids the body of unnecessary and toxic metals, and is employed by a growing number of physicians to reverse the process of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This reversal is accomplished in part through the removal of the calcium content of plaque from the artery walls, through the administration of the chelating agents. By restoring good circulation to all the tissues of the body, chelation therapy can help to avoid bypass surgery, reverse gangrene, alleviate intermittent claudiction (cramps) of the legs, and restore memory. Due to its ability to remove toxic metal ions, chelation therapy reduces internal inflammation caused by free radicals (highly reactive destructive molecules), and as a result can ease the discomfort and disability from degenerative diseases such as arthritis, scleroderma (a hardening that occurs in skin and certain organs) and lupus.

"According to current drug safety standards, aspirin

Is about three and a half times more toxic than EDTA."

Chelation therapy has been used safely on more than five hundred thousand patients.

ORAL CHELATORY-RX CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING:
EDTA
Used orally at home or intravenously under the supervision of a physician, EDTA is used to rid the body of excess toxins, particularly metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury. These toxic metals enter the body through food, water, and other means.  EDTA draws out these toxic metals and excretes them via the kidneys. Oral chelation can often prevent problems from occurring by restoring circulation to the body’s tissues.

L-CARNITINE
This amino acid is found abundantly in skeletal muscle. It functions primarily to regulate fat metabolism, and also acts as a carrier of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized and converted to energy. L-Carnitine also facilitates the removal of short and medium chain fatty acids from the mitochondria that accumulate during normal metabolic processes. L-Carnitine has the potential to improve fat metabolism, increase endurance, and enhance the normal functioning of the heart.

HAWTHORNE
Used to support the heart's metabolic process and to increase oxygen utilization and blood supply enabling the body to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.  Provides nourishment to the body, which helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and decreases the amount of existing arterial plaque.  Helps keep the arteries open supplying the heart with blood.  Also increases energy production in the heart so that the heart can contract more forcefully and maintain a steadier rhythm

L-ARGININE
Reduces blood platelet aggregation, which reduces the build-up of cholesterol along arterial walls.  It stimulates lymphocyte (white blood cell) production to support the body's immune system.  Also supports blood circulation to the genitals.

MAGNESIUM ASPERTATE
The body uses magnesium to maintain proper electrolyte levels, a regular heartbeat and healthy blood pressure. Magnesium works in conjunction with other minerals such as calcium and potassium to facilitate proper neurological, muscular and cardiovascular function. Magnesium and potassium in their aspertate forms are important for establishing the proper ionic equilibrium of the two minerals. These minerals form a fully reacted chelate.

COENZYME Q10
A potent, fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cellular membranes.  Also offers protection against potent low-density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation, a process that causes LDL molecules to adhere to artery walls, causing cholesterol deposits.  Provides nourishment for the body's natural defense system and support for healthy cardiovascular function and blood pressure levels. It also supports healthy gum tissue.

GUGULIPIDS
Specifically, gugulipid lowers VLDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while simultaneously raising HDL cholesterol. This indicates Gugulipid's primary use for providing a protection effective against atherosclerosis. The thyroid is stimulated to increase the body's metabolic rate, and the liver is stimulated to metabolize LDL cholesterol, effectively lowering the amount in the bloodstream. In addition to protecting against the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, gugulipids provide regression of preexisting plaques, plus mildly inhibiting platelet aggregation and promoting fibrinolysis, (which are) factors involved in stroke and embolic events.  The guggulsterones presents an anti-inflammatory action comparable to one-fifth that of hydrocortisone, and equal to that of phenylbutazone and ibuprofen.

BROMELAIN
Is a mixture of sulfur-containing protein-digesting enzymes (proteases) from the stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain has been shown to be effective in the reduction of inflammation and helpful in the reduction of swelling. Bromelain blocks the production of kinins, which are produced during inflammation.

MALIC ACID
Is present in all living cells and is essential for converting sugars and fats into ATP (your body's energy source). It supports the energy production that is important for proper muscle function. Malic Acid acts as a catalyst to the Krebs cycle by producing energy from the burning of pyruvic acid. Malic Acid has traditionally been used for stress, tender points, pain, persistent fatigue, muscular pain, arthritic-like symptoms, and for recovery from exercise. Studies have shown that Malic Acid, when given with magnesium, resulted in a 41% reduction in tender points after four weeks and 76% after eight weeks. In some cases, noticeable improvement was evident in as little as forty-eight hours.

POTASSIUM ASPERTATE
This mineral is important for a healthy nervous system and for regular heart rhythm.  It helps prevent stroke, aids in proper muscle contraction, and works together with magnesium to prevent calcium-oxalate kidney stones.

SELENIUM
Selenium’s principal function is to inhibit the oxidation of lipids (fats) and used in the production of antibodies to help maintain a healthy heart and liver.  Selenium deficiency has been linked to cancer and heart disease.

FOLIC ACID
This vitamin is considered a brain food, and is needed for energy production and the formation of red blood cells.  Folic acid regulates homocysteine levels.  High levels of homocysteine have been found to be associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to the accumulation of fatty plaque).

This advanced formulation is designed to offer a safe, convenient alternative for persons who are at risk for circulatory problems or problems caused by toxic metal accumulation, or just prevention. In addition to helping the cardiovascular system, many other disorders are improved such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and arthritis. This product also offers improvement with blood cholesterol levels, removal of calcium from hardened arteries, and is an effective cross-linking inhibitor. 

Recommended daily dosage 3 capsules 2 times per day, on an empty stomach. For an annual cleansing, it is best to take one bottle for every 10 years of life.  For example, 40-year-old persons should use 4 bottles.  For therapeutic dosage seek guidance from your health care professional.
