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.

It is not well appreciated that calcium is a heavy metal and as we age it is released by our bones. The dangerous mix of that calcium and cholesterol on the artery walls combine to form a hard plaque that continues to trap more cholesterol and plaque worsening the problem and increasing the chance of heart attack or stroke.

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: -Million Americans Die each year from Cardiovascular Disease. (150,000 of those are under the age of 65!) -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. - Almost one out of every 2.5 deaths results from cardiovascular disease.

In 1948, U.S. Navy advocated chelation for sailors who had been poisoned by lead while painting government facilities and ships. 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 arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or atherosclerosis (fatty-plaque buildup on arterial walls)experienced reductions- in both conditions after chelation. Since 1952, IV EDTA chelation has been used to treat cardiovascular disease. - 16650
