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.

 

CardioClear™ — 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.

 

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

recommended oral chelation program have all successfully avoided strokes.” Garry

Gordon, MD, DO

 

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)

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, Two-Time Nobel Prize Laureate
