The key is to remove heavy metal build-up with oral chelation

 

What does nitric oxide have to do with preventing heart attack and stroke?

Plenty! Inside your body nitric oxide is produced by endothelial cells that

line your blood vessels, and acts as a messenger molecule by telling the

blood vessels when to relax and expand. When adequate nitric oxide is

produced, it causes the release of an " endothelial relaxing factor, " which

is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat.

This helps regulate blood flow and pressure, so that oxygen-carrying blood

is delivered to your tissues and organs.9, 10

 

" Nitric oxide causes all of the capillaries and little blood vessels to

relax and go to their biggest open position, " says Dr. Gordon. This allows

unrestricted blood flow.

 

" I firmly believe that an oral chelation program can do more for your

overall longevity than you can do even with the most prudent lifestyle

possible because of the continuous nutritional protection chelation offers

against a stressful and polluted world " Garry Gordon, MD, DO

 

But if the endothelial cells contain lead or other heavy metals, nitric

oxide production is impaired, resulting in endothelial dysfunction, or the

inability of the arterial system to expand and contract. This is a major

cause of hypertension and has also been linked to high cholesterol,

atherosclerosis, diabetes, blood clots, infection, and heart failure. 11 In

this case, " the capillaries and blood vessels are in a half-closed or

tightly-closed position, as you'd find in someone with high blood pressure,

or someone who is in a state of fear and panic with ice cold hands, " says

Dr. Gordon.

 

Fortunately, " EDTA and the way I use it in oral chelation, gets the lead out

of the endothelial cells so they feel good again and can do their job, which

is to produce nitric oxide, " he adds.

 

Endothelial cells both produce and respond to nitric oxide in a

self-regulating way, something like this. Say you have a garden hose with a

sprayer attached to it. When you squeeze the handle, pressure is released

within the hose as the water flows. As you release the sprayer, pressure

builds and the hose swells.

 

Nitric oxide acts in a similar way. Think of it as the handle on the garden

hose, or as a messenger regulating the pressure and flow of the blood inside

the capillaries and blood vessels. When nitric oxide is produced inside the

endothelium, it rapidly spreads through the cell membranes to the underlying

muscle cells. Their contraction is turned off by nitric oxide, resulting in

a dilation of the arteries. This is how nitric oxide controls the blood

pressure and its distribution.

 

Nitric oxide also helps prevent blood clots because it prevents blood

aggregation or platelets from being excessively sticky. " When platelets are

not sticky they can go single file through capillaries, " says Dr. Gordon.

" When they're stuck together there's a whole bunch of platelets trying to

get through a capillary at once. " That's when we get into trouble with

restricted blood circulation and the formation of blood clots.

 

" We now have a solid and defensible explanation for circulation benefits

merely by removing toxic heavy metals, and so we must carefully consider all

options for our patients, including oral chelation, " he says.

 

" I routinely recommend taking oral chelation daily

forever, as soon as you can begin to swallow a

well-formulated product, " says Dr. Gordon.

 

Oral chelation reduces cholesterol

 

Millions of dollars are spent each year on cholesterol-lowering drugs. Oral

chelation takes care of that, too, without the added risk of taking a drug

with potential side effects.

 

One study, in which ten patients took one gram of EDTA for three months,

indicated that seven patients had reduced cholesterol levels and all ten had

lowered blood pressure. One of the patients who had been experiencing

painful leg cramps reported greater ease in exercising. The same patient's

total cholesterol dropped from 278 mg to 128 mg per 100 ml! Also, four of

the patients reported relief from chest pain.12

 

In another three-month study, 20 patients who took one gram of EDTA per day

experienced lowered cholesterol and relief from chest pain. None of the

patients experienced any adverse effects. 13

 

Dr.Gordon has consistently observed a reduction of serum cholesterol by an

average of twenty percent or more in his patients who use oral chelation.

" The thousands of patients who visit my clinic each year and follow our

recommended oral chelation program have all successfully avoided strokes.

Heart attack rates were also greatly diminished, " he says. " We've never had

more than two heart attacks per year among all of our patients, even among

those with a history of severe heart disease. I firmly believe that an oral

chelation program can do more for your overall longevity than you can do

even with the most prudent lifestyle possible because of the continuous

nutritional protection chelation offers against a stressful and polluted

world. " 14

 

In today's industrial society, there is no escaping exposure to toxic

chemicals and metals.

 

CardioClearT - the alternative to bypass surgery and angioplasty

 

We often hear of cardiovascular disease, but we rarely hear about

cardiovascular health. Now, you can finally start focusing on supporting

your heart health, without living in fear of having a heart attack, stroke,

congestive heart failure or aneurysm! There's an easy, inexpensive way to

clear your blood vessels of harmful cholesterol, metabolic waste and toxins,

and insure normal blood flood throughout your entire circulatory system.

It's done simply by taking CardioClear-a nutritional supplement-by mouth,

the same way you take a multivitamin.

 

CardioClear provides you with

the nutrients your body needs

to maintain healthy blood

and a healthy heart

 

As Dale Fowkes mentions in his letter (see bottom of page), a team of

scientists helped Health Freedom Nutrition formulate CardioClear so that you

can:

 

.. experience more energy and dynamism

 

.. live your life free from chest pain and leg cramping

 

.. enjoy normalized blood pressure, cholesterol levels and increased blood

flow through your arteries

 

The short-term results are obvious . because you'll feel them usually within

30 days.

 

The long-term results are that you'll feel confident about your future

knowing that you can:

 

.. avoid the ravages of cardiovascular disease

 

.. be there for your family, friends and co-workers

 

.. continue being active and productive .so you can enjoy life to the

fullest, today and tomorrow.

 

EDTA has been shown to:

 

.. support your body's production of endothelium-derived nitric oxide

 

.. cleanse heavy metals and harmful calcium deposits throughout your body and

blood vessels

 

.. reduce risk of heart attack and stroke by thinning the blood and

preventing the formation of blood clots

 

.. improve blood circulation

 

.. encourage dilation of the blood vessels

 

.. help normalize blood pressure and cholesterol levels

 

.. stop free radicals before they are produced-a major cause of

atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, cancer,

Alzheimer's disease

 

.. increase your energy

 

.. improve memory and mental clarity

 

.. relieve leg pain and cramping

 

CardioClear powerfully enhances the energy production systems inside every

cell in your body

 

Energy is produced inside the mitochondria-the energy centers in every cell

in your body. The mitochondria produce ATP from the food you eat and ATP is

the universal energy fuel that every cells runs off. 15 Unfortunately,

mitochondrial function slows down with aging, partly because of the kind of

oxidative damage we spoke of earlier.16 But EDTA energizes the life force in

every cell by charging your mitochondria -which is why CardioClear is

important as a nutritional supplement, and not just an oral chelation

supplement. With CardioClear you will feel more energy, your heart muscles

will have more energy to do their job and your brain's metobolism will be

enhanced . every organ system will be provided with more ATP -the basic fuel

for life.

 

You owe it to yourself to start on Oral Chelation today. And since you care

about the health of your friends and loved ones, you might consider

encouraging them to detoxify their arteries, too.

 

Within 30 days you'll begin to feel the powerful

healing effects on your heart, arteries, memory

and mental clarity.

What's in CardioClear?

 

.. EDTA (calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a synthetic

amino acid, which closely resembles four molecules of vinegar. EDTA is never

broken down in your body. It goes in and comes out as EDTA, attaching to

metals and minerals, forming a bond called a chelate (from the Greek word

for claw).

 

.. Garlic Extract also has anti-blood clotting properties, like EDTA.17 Plus,

by itself, garlic is an excellent chelator of metals such as lead and

mercury, says Dr. Gordon. " Now, if you add EDTA to it, you get more removal

of lead, but you also enhance the garlic's anti-platelet

(anti-blood-clotting) activity. Through this combined action, since EDTA

binds with the calcium that is required for blood to clot, you can protect

yourself far more effectively against a blood clot, even more so than any

aspirin dose you might take. " CardioClear contains odor-reduced garlic so

you don't get garlic breath.

 

.. Malic Acid is a weak, organic acid found in apples. All weak acids are

natural chelators. Together with EDTA, malic acid powerfully enhances the

energy systems thoughout the whole body, including the heart and brain.

*(see " CardioClear powerfully enhances the energy production systems inside

every cell in your body. " ) Malic acid together with EDTA powerfully boosts

mitochondrial function.18 Malic Acid also appears effective in treating

aluminum toxicity in laboratory animals.19

 

Ê. Parsley is a rich source of the green plant pigment chlorophyll, which is

a powerful breath freshener. It neutralizes the odor of garlic in

CardioClear, so you can be self-assured that you don't have " garlic breath. "

 

How will CardioClear make me feel?

 

Since CardioClear dissolves debris in the arteries, blood flow is

unrestricted. And when blood flows normally throughout the body, oxygen and

other vital nutrients flow through the arteries unrestricted, as well . so

you'll experience:

 

.. freedom from fatigue and shortness of breath

 

.. more energy

 

.. relief from leg pain and cramping

 

.. improved mental clarity, alertness and memory

 

.. lessening of, or freedom from angina (chest pain and tightness)

 

" I believe that you can, by taking some simple and inexpensive measures,

extend your life and your years of well-being. My most important

recommendation is that you take vitamins every day in optimum amounts, to

supplement the vitamins you receive in your food. " Linus Pauling, PhD,
