Have you heard about EDTA chelation therapy? What are its health benefits? Why is it very important for our health?

EDTA chelation therapy has become a sensation nowadays because of its many health benefits. EDTA chelation therapy is the best way to clean the veins and arteries of fatty deposits and cholesterol for excellent blood circulation through the use of EDTA or ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid. This is done through chelation wherein the molecules of heavy metals bind to EDTA and then chelate or remove from the body.

Good blood circulation is one of the primary factors that contribute to good health. Poor blood circulation is the cause of many diseases that plagued humanity today. Clogged arteries deprive the body’s vital organs of the  blood which carries the essential nutrients and oxygen for the healthy functioning of the body. It is therefore very important to maintain good blood circulation for optimum health.

Cardio Renew oral chelation therapy is the best way to maintain excellent blood circulation. Fatty deposits that clog the arteries such as cholesterol and triglycerides bind to EDTA and then remove from the body. EDTA oral chelation not only unclogs and removes arterial blockages but also cleanses the blood of the toxic heavy metals from environmental pollutants that are emitted from chemical, industrial, and agricultural manufacturing plants.

As the old Chinese adage says, “It is only in the blood”, an excellent blood circulation through the use of Cardio Renew EDTA oral chelation therapy can cure hundreds of ailments and diseases and prevents them from recurring.

The following diseases and symptoms related to poor blood circulation can be prevented and cured through the use of Cardio Renew EDTA oral chelation therapy:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• atherosclerosis
• arteriosclerosis
• cardiac arrhythmia
• diabetic neuropathy
• erectile dysfunction
• fibromyalgia
• heart failure
• diabetic retinopathy
• coronary artery disease
• hypertension or high blood pressure
• ischemic heart disease
• osteoarthritis
• Parkinson’s disease
• multiple sclerosis
• macular degeneration
• Peyronie’s disease
• psoriasis
• scleroderma
• Raynaud’s disease
• thrombophebitis
• senile dementia
• fatigue
• cardiovascular diseases and many more

Indeed EDTA chelation therapy is the best way to clean the veins and arteries for excellent blood circulation. It can prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. It can restore good memory, and is good for the brain and the nervous system. It can prevent degenerative diseases and premature aging due to free radical oxidation of environmental pollutants and stress.

Atherosclerosis is an “autoimmune”  disease that can be prevented or minimized. It is a vascular disease caused as a result of the natural reaction of the body’s  defense mechanism to repair and protect an inflammation in the arterial wall.

The formation of atherosclerosis starts at childhood. It is a misconception that only the middle aged and the adults are susceptible to atherosclerosis. Autopsies of young children and even of  infants had shown clogged arteries.

Atherosclerosis is asymptotic most of the time. Ninety percent of the time, its symptoms are not visible, until the very onslaught of strokes or heart attacks.

How does atherosclerosis develop in the arteries?

Atherosclerosis develops from the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein molecules (LDL)  by free radicals, particularly oxygen free radicals.This oxidized LDL  damages the arterial inner wall, and a series of reactions are activated by the body’s defense mechanism to repair this damage.   Initially, this damage or lesion is visible as the thickening of the inner wall (intima) of the artery with the presence of fatty streaks or plaques.

The body’s immune system sends specialized white blood cells, macrophages and T-lympocytes to absorb the oxidized-LDL and to repair the damage to the artery wall caused by oxidized LDL. But these white blood cells are not able to process these oxidized-LDL, and this  gradually  grow and then ruptures, depositing a greater amount of oxidized cholesterol in the artery wall. This triggers the immune system to send more white blood cells, and the cycle continues.The artery becomes inflamed, and the cholesterol plaques cause the muscle cells to enlarge and form a hard cover over the damaged area. This hard cover  causes a narrowing of the artery which reduces the blood flow and increases blood pressure. Clogged arteries can lead to angina pectoris, mycardial infarction, strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular diseases.

What must be done to prevent or minimize atherosclerosis?

The best way to prevent or minimize atherosclerosis is to avoid all fatty foods. All junk foods are cooked or processed with fats, and most of these fats come from hydrogenated cooking oils that are converted into trans fatty acid when heated. Trans fatty acids are very harmful to the body,  and it causes cancer.

A vegetarian diet can help a lot. Fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables have vitamins and minerals that reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a bad cholesterol, and increases the high-density lipoprotein (HDL), a good cholesterol. Good examples of these are garlic, onions, avocados, cayenne, gingko biloba, gotu kola, and soy beans. They not only provide the essential nutrients for a healthy body, but they are also known to dissolve excess cholesterols in the body.

A regular physical exercise is also very important in preventing atherosclerosis. Brisk walking can lower bad cholesterol level in the body, and raises the good cholesterol too. Sports, such as tennis, basketball, and swimming are also good forms of exercises.

And the best prevention of all is to have a positive mental attitude  in life.  Studies showed that trauma and stress are the primary precursors of atherosclerosis. So live life happily and trust in God.

Natural remedies for cardiovascular diseases have long been available to man, but still more are dying annually from it. Cardiovascular disease which includes heart attack, strokes and other disorders of the heart and blood vessels is a leading cause of death in affluent societies especially in the West. Heart disease is the number one killer in civilized nations.

What causes heart attack? The following can cause heart attacks:

• narrowed coronary arteries which deprive the heart of necessary oxygen resulting to tight, heavy chest pain usually felt after some exertion or heavy meal.
• blocked coronary arteries that restrict blood flow to the heart which cause the formation of infarcts (areas of local tissue decay or death in the myocardium , a heart muscle)
• spasm of the coronary arteries caused by lack of oxygen and nutrients
• high blood pressure or hypertension

Many factors can cause high blood pressure or hypertension. One is clogged arteries caused by the consumption of meat fats, hydrogenated vegetable oils, margarine, butter, grease, and other junk foods. Another cause is the hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis). Too much sodium or salt in the diet is another cause of hypertension. Other factors include stress, enzyme imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, kidney disease, adrenal or pituitary disorders, hyperthyroidism, heredity, and certain drugs, including oral contraceptives.

Besides heart attacks, heart failures can also occur in an unhealthy heart. Heart attack is inadequate blood flow to the heart, while heart failure is inadequate blood flow from the heart. The following problems can occur due to a heart failure: arrhythmia or irregular heart beat, palpitations, bradycardia (too slow beating of the heart), tachycardia (too fast beating of the heart when it is resting), ectopic beats or skipped beats of the heart, fibrillation or heart muscle twitching, and valvular disease or disease of the valve that causes non opening or non closing of the valves. These valve defects are either congenital or caused by rheumatic fever or endocartitis or infection of the heart muscle.

To prevent heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases, we must follow the following natural remedies:

1. Drink enough water, and frequently throughout the day.
2. Do not eat meat – all meats have fats.
3. Do not overeat.
4. Do not eat greasy and oily foods, such as margarine, butter, hydrogenated vegetable oil, overheated or oxydized vegetable oils.
5. Avoid excess carbohydrates in your diet, especially the refined ones.
6. Avoid sugar – it increases triglyceride levels, uric acid, blood pressure, and platelet adhesiveness.
7. Include garlic in your diet – it lowers the LDL (bad) cholesterol, and raises the HDL (good) cholesterol
8. Include natural fat emulsifiers, such as lecithin,  in your diet.
9. Use cold-presses vegetable oil, such as flaxseed oil. It is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that can prevent the stickiness of blood platelets.
10. Eat more fruits, grains, and vegetables – they are rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
11. Do not consume much peanuts. But when you do eat peanuts, do not remove its red skin. It contains a powerful heart-protective antioxidant  called oligomeric procyanidins or OPCs that can prevent heart attacks, strokes, and even cancer.
12. Do not use monosodium glutamate (MSG) in your diet. Avoid all processed foods – they are loaded with MSG.
13. Eat foods rich in the B vitamins, especially folic acid, B6, and B12. These vitamins help convert the amino acid homocysteine to two other amino acids which prevent the scarring of coronary arteries, thus minimizing the sticking of arterial plaques on it.
14. Take food rich in antioxidants, such as wheat germ oil, vitamin E, selenium, coenzyme Q10, rosemary, gingko biloba, and pycnogenol.
15. Take tonic herbs such as cayenne, ginger, garlic, hawthorn extract, and Seberian ginseng extract – they strengthen the heart.
16. Do not use much salt or other sodium products in your diet.
17. Do not use coffee – it blocks the breakdown of adrenaline which results in the same response as stress.
18. Do not drink liquor or any alcoholic drinks.
19. Do not smoke cigarettes or other tobacco products.
20. Do not use illegal drugs.
21. Have regular exercise.
22. Have a normal body weight – keep your weight down.
