Rebound and Reverse Heart Disease as well as CFS, fibromyalgia and a host of

other modern illnesses-

and strengthen your immune system at the same time

 

by Scott E. Miners

---

You can bypass drugs, surgery, angioplasty or bypass procedures to

heal or prevent heart and other modern diseases such as asthma and

diabetes.

 

Here is a simple prescription you can use to chelate

(pronounced key-late), or cleanse arteriosclerotic blockages,

stimulate your immune system and cleanse toxins from the

cardiovascular and all cellular systems and organs of the body.

 

It is not news that living an imbalanced life is stressful to the

body. Here the focus is upon the physical body; however, unwholesome

spiritual, mental and emotional bodies can be as toxic to your

physical body as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day or drinking

excessive amounts of alcohol.

 

Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) therapy has proven to be a safe

and effective alternative to bypass surgery for atherosclerosis-and

it has been shown by research that illnesses traced to toxins in the

body, such as cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome, can also be

eliminated using chelation therapy. (Elmer Cranton, M.D.,Well Being

Journal, January/February, 1998.)1

 

What is chelation therapy? The simplest explanation is that it is a

process wherein molecules of toxic debris, such as heavy metals

found in accumulations of plaque on artery or vascular linings in

the brain and all systems of the body, are bonded with molecules of

chelation substances that pull them out of the body. The chelation

effect also takes place automatically from natural bodily processes.

It is when disease has taken a foothold that you may wish to

accelerate or amplify the natural chelation processes of the body.

How?

 

There are many ways to support and accelerate the body's natural

chelation process. Certain foods help the process and some hinder,

or are part of the disease creation process throughout the system.

 

Evidence is pointing to foods with additives, hydrogenated oils,

simple sugars and carbohydrates, and foods grown with chemicals,

pesticides and herbicides as being poor health choices, and of

course plentiful research shows toxins in the water and air are also

causing a great deal of disease from chemical sensitivities in most

human bodies.

 

SEVERAL SOLUTIONS

 

Most of us eat conventionally grown foods, lacking in nutrition,

rather than organic, and then we don't drink enough water to flush

out the toxins that were used to make the conventional foods grow.

 

The water most of us drink is chlorinated and probably fluoridated.

Add to that all of the processed foods sold in the supermarkets,

foods with additional chemical additives, flavorings, colorings,

sweeteners, salts and artificial sweeteners, and you have toxins

entering the body on a constant, daily basis.

 

(Solution: Many people have begun writing to and calling the corporations

that produce and

market foods asking for organic products; they may boycott

conventionally produced foods, or buy only organically produced

fruits, vegetables and animals, even driving many miles extra to

stores that sell these products.)

 

Why? Organically grown foods, and especially the nutrients and fibers from

fruits and vegetables, naturally nourish the body and chelate toxins from

it. Most organic growers use strong seed lines, not environmentally

(generationally) or genetically modified seeds.

 

Regarding drinking water, F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., has shown without

doubt that the vast majority of us humans have not been drinking

enough water.2

 

Mountain spring water, with its mineralized and magnetic properties, is the

best water to drink. Pure artesian water is a second best choice. Pure,

vigorous water nourishes and chelates toxins from the body due to its

magnetic and trace mineral properties.

 

However, if you are putting too many toxins into the

body, it would take far more copious amounts of water to cleanse

them out than you or I would wish to drink.3

 

You may wish to chelate toxins, residues and plaque from your body

in a more immediate way if you have an emergency situation, and then

gradually include an organic diet to both cleanse and prevent

recurrence in the future. What is an immediate, clinical way to

chelate, especially in cases of cardiovascular disease?

 

CLEANSING OUT THE TOXINS

 

An immediate way to speed the chelation process very dramatically is

to go to a clinic as an " out-patient " and have a doctor inject

ethylene diamine terra acetic acid (EDTA) into your veins.

 

This is also a natural chelating procedure that specifically targets toxic

metals, and it works systemically.

 

It has been proven that EDTA chelation therapy is not only effective, even

in " emergency " cases of cardiovascular disease, but also much safer and far

less expensive than surgery or angioplasty.1

 

The staff at the American College for Advancement in Medicine will refer you

to medical doctors who practice EDTA chelation therapy nationally: 1-949-583

7666.

 

Preventive or non-emergency measures also exist for chelating the

body. There are " oral chelation " formulas, or supplements that can

be taken, and these are available at health stores. Also, large

amounts (varying for each individual person) of up to 25,000 mg./day

of vitamin C, mineral ascorbate form, is a very effective chelator,

as are vitamin E (400-800 IU/day), bilberry and ginkgo biloba, as

all are antioxidants.

 

Health-related reference literature is abundant with research studies

reporting beneficial results of using these vitamin and nutrient chelators

as supplements. Consult your health practitioner if you need assistance in

determining amounts for you.

 

>From here on this article will focus on a form of exercise that has

been found remarkably efficient in chelating toxic elements from the

body.

 

Journal readers will recognize rebounding and its immune

system stimulating and cellular-level toxic debris removing effects

from the Fall, 2001 issue of the Journal ( " Bouncing for Health " ).4

 

CREATE YOUR OWN CHELATION THERAPY BY REBOUNDING

 

Dr. Morton Walker, D.P.M., states that exercising on a rebounder

(mini-trampoline) causes " a natural process of chelation therapy to

proceed throughout the body. "

 

There are many sources indicating the overall health-giving effects of

rebounding exercise. (See Well Being Journal, Fall, 2001, for more

information.)4 Réné and Maggie Gaudette and the Wonders write: " The protocol

[of taking antioxidant supplements and doing rebounding

exercise]...eliminates a good portion of cellulite, which is an accumulation

of toxins within the fat structure of the body.

 

[Also] that exercise-bouncing up and down on a mini-trampoline-is a good way

of loosening up all of that fat structure so that the toxins can be

eliminated.... You shake it up and down.

 

Rebounding clears the lymph glands, it provides the aerobic exercise for the

heart, it provides oxygenation to the body,

it is not destructive to the joints of the body, it loosens the

toxins within the subdermal portion of the skin in the body, it

allows the body to perspire, it even allows your hair to grow a

little longer because when you go up and you come down it pulls the

hair out of your scalp. And it tones the muscles. There are many

[more] benefits.... " 3

 

Dr. Walker writes: " Exercising on a minitrampoline for its

beneficial rebounding result enables you to create chelation therapy

within your body and brain. " How does chelation take place? First of

all, each cell in the body is " exercised " when bouncing up and down.

 

The force of gravity first pulls, then releases each cell, thus

stimulating cells to move their fluids and flush out toxic material

as well as absorb nutrients.

 

Additionally, the valves in the

lymphatic system, the powerful force behind your immune system, open

and close and pump lymphatic fluid during bouncing, even with very

gentle up and down bouncing movements. The lymph fluid then removes

toxins from the body as a whole, and it even produces more white

blood cells. Those who have had major illnesses, such as cancer,

attribute healing to the use of rebounding once per hour for two to

three minutes. White blood cells increase dramatically during a

short session of two to three minutes of rebounding.

 

Albert Carter, who first discovered the rebounding effect in the

late 1970s, called it " the most efficient, effective form of

exercise yet devised by man. " 5 Dr. Walker states that " your whole

cardiovascular system becomes stronger even without increasing its

heart rate, " 5 thus the elderly or ill need not begin vigorously

exercising in order to receive chelation or other health benefits

from rebounding. One of the many ways rebounding helps chelate

toxins from the body and specifically from the cardiovascular system

is through the stimulation of production of lactic acid by the

muscles.

 

Lactic acid is a natural by-product of muscular activity. Shirley

Vanderbilt writes: " There are elevated levels of lactic acid in

muscle tissues after exercise.... " 6 She cites research by exercise

physiologist Dr. George Brooks from the 1980s: " Lactic acid is a key

substance for providing energy, disposing dietary carbohydrate,

producing blood glucose and liver glycogen.... Lactic acid goes

through a chemical cycle ultimately becoming lactate, which can then

be transported quickly from the muscle into the blood. Lactate

levels in the blood rise during moderate exercise. At the completion

of exercise, lactate levels return to normal within an hour. Light

exercise is the most effective approach to speed this process. The

muscles copiously produce lactic acid during light exercise. "

 

Dr. Walker notes that lactic acid is a weak organic acid that

chelates toxic components. He states, " Because natural lactic acid

acts in the same way as does the medical intravenous infusion of the

chelating amino acid EDTA, the resulting responses from rebound

movements produce numerous therapeutic effects...:

 

1. They dissolve atherosclerotic plaque attached to the intima (the

innermost layer of arteries);

 

2. They pull [toxins] out of the media layer of blood vessel walls;

and

 

3. They trap the foreign proteins that occupy space between cell

membranes and then remove these unwanted proteins for deposition as

waste, carrying away also the toxic type of proteins for processing

through in the kidneys as urine, through the liver as nitrogenous

waste, and then through the bowel as feces. "

 

Walker cites a study done in Sweden almost twenty-five years ago,

where exercise therapists evaluated a group of hospitalized patients

whose chief difficulties were palpitations of the heart,

breathlessness from cardiovascular inadequacy, peripheral vascular

insufficiency indicated by cold hands and feet, dizziness, headaches

and deep sighing. He states that " each patient averaged 5.4

symptoms. "

 

Collectively these patients had been suffering from 150 different

clinically recorded ailments, but by the end of the program of

rebounding the clinicians found only 21 persisting symptoms; 68

symptoms had diminished and 44 ailments were entirely gone. " The

average number of symptoms per patient had dropped from 5.4 to 1.1, "

writes Walker. The clinicians at the Karolinska Institute who

conducted this investigation concluded that " rebound exercise

protects and strengthens the cardiovascular and peripheral vascular

systems, " and offsets any potential harm caused by catecholamines,

or nerve transmitting chemicals released under stress, that increase

blood pressure.

 

Dr. Walker concludes: " For a sick person who is able to rebound even

in the midst of illness, rebounding serves as a physiological

antidote to [catecholamines] that act as internal stressors. Besides

cellular detoxification and nourishment, rebounding produces a kind

of cellular sedative that gives any damaged or sick cells the

opportunity to heal themselves. " 5

 

James R. White, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist at the University of

California, San Diego, whose research Walker cites, asserts that a

rebound exercise program has the following cardiovascular health

benefits:

 

1. Increased strength and size of the left ventricle of the heart;

 

2. Increased diameter of the heart;

 

3. Increased diameter of the arteries of the heart;

 

4. Increased number of latent arteries used for distributing blood

to the heart and the rest of the body.

 

5. Slowdown of the heart rate; and

 

6. Decreased amount of oxygen needed by the heart.

 

Rebounding even causes peripheral vascular improvement of occlusive

disease by encouraging blood clots in the limbs to dissolve.

 

Since rebounding also stimulates the immune system through lymphatic

fluid drainage and more production of white blood cells-due to the

force of gravity pull and then release during the act of jumping-the

effects are beneficial not only for the rest of the body, but

especially for the blood circulatory system. Walker cites the work

of Hitendra H. Shah, M.D. [Dr. Shah strongly recommends rebound

exercise. Rebounding, he emphasizes, must be part of any

chelation/detoxification program for reaping the optimal advantages

of intravenous EDTA chelation therapy], who notes: " Several problems

occur when the lymph drainage slows and fluids begin to accumulate

around the cells.... Cells are forced to survive in their own waste

and toxic byproducts. Such a situation can eventually lead to the

degeneration and destruction of organs. For example, poor lymphatic

drainage of the extremities can lead to tissue damage and then to

poor blood circulation with swelling and pain.... imilar problems

can happen in any other organs of the body. "

CONCLUSION

Given the amount of toxins in our water, air and food-and thus

entering our bodies-and given the viruses and bacteria we encounter,

it is not difficult to understand why doctors and other health

professionals not only rebound every day themselves but recommend it

to their patients

Rebounding stimulates the immune system like no other form of exercise due

to its effects on the lymphatic system;

it stimulates cellular cleansing, exercises the musculo-skeletal

system, and helps restore bone density-and it is simple, gentle on

the joints of the body and an enjoyable! exercise anyone can do.

Dr. Walker recommends the Soft BounceT Needak® brand of rebounders in

his book, but any good quality rebounder will give you results and

be gentle on the body at the same time. The Needak® absorbs 85% of

the impact when you jump.

Imagine the potentials, if rebounding alone can help you achieve these kinds

of results, if you combine this exercise with drinking plenty of pure

mountain spring or

artesian water and a wholesome organic food diet (thus helping clean

up the " outer " environment too), along with a balanced spiritual,

mental, emotional and physical life. It seems it may very well be

easier to be healthy than ill.
