Cardiovascular Health and Oral Chelation

By Orlando Singh

The danger of eating a high cholesterol diet is well publicized and that is unquestionably true, but there is more to the story that is not as well known or understood. The danger increases when Cholesterol Mixes with Rogue Calcium to Form a hard Plaque on Artery Walls.

Chelation can help remove the plaque from the body because Calcium is a heavy metal. Calcium becomes a problem because as it is given off by our bones as we age it merges with the cholesterol on the artery walls to form a hard plague. If the artery wall becomes covered in plaque and the blood flow becomes restricted the risk of a heart attack or a stroke rises considerably.

Do you have these danger signs of arterial plaque? Poor circulation including cold feet, hands or arms? Do you get out of breath easily? Are you frequently forgetting things? Are you frequently tired and lacking energy? After walking short distances do you experience aches and pains? Are there any indications of cardiovascular problems?

Consider these statistics from the American Heart Association: - Cardiovascular disease is the cause of more deaths than the next six causes of death combined. -approximately one-third (34%) of cardiovascular disease deaths occur prematurely! (before age 75). Since 1900, cardiovascular disease has been the leading cause of death in every year but one - 1918.

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. - 16752
