Did you know you could improve your circulation and decrease heart attacks, strokes and angina?

Did you know that arteriosclerosis and heart problems are the #1 killer in the U.S.?

You need to learn about EDTA - Chelation Therapy, it could save your life!

Clinical experience with EDTA chelation therapy has convinced over 4,000 licensed physicians in North America that it is a safe and effective treatment for atherosclerotic vascular disease, as it improves blood flow and relieves symptoms associated with the disease in greater than 80% of the patients treated.

It is estimated that physicians nationally have safely treated over 500,000 patients with this therapy.

WHY IS CHELATION DONE?

Chelation helps to remove metals from the body tissues. These metals come from a number of sources including metal dental materials and mercury amalgam filings. Metals can cause free radical damage in the body, any inflammation or any disease ending in itis i.e. arthritis etc., and this damage can lead to:

o Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, blood vessel blockage.

o Heart Problems

o Cancer, autoimmune disease, arthritis, and other degenerative disease.

o Fatigue and difficulty concentrating, particularly from mercury.

o Claudication, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pounding heart.

WHAT IS CHELATION?

Chelation is a term whose root means, "claw" or " to bind." Most chelation is done by introducing an intravenous chelation solution into the veins. The chelator grabs hold of metal ions, forming a chemical compound, which can more easily be excreted by the body. Excretion is done via urine, feces, and sweat.

HOW CAN CHELATION REDUCE HEART ATTACK RISK?

Chelation has been used to help reduce calcium plaquing on the insides of arteries. This plaquing narrows the blood vessels, possibly leading to a heart attack in time if blood flow is sufficiently reduced. Chelation's action is believed to be twofold: it directly removes the excess of calcium from the arteries, and it removes heavy metals such as mercury which is contained in dental amalgam fillings, cadmium from cigarette smoking, and lead from gasoline from the body. These metals set up conditions conducive to inflammation, which is buffered by the calcium. Calcium coats the inflamed areas in the blood vessels like a bandage, patching up one problem but creating another. Metals can also change the blood pH (acidity) and calcium is taken from the bones to try to buffer the blood fluids back to their normal pH. The removal of calcium from the bones can lead to osteoporosis, so chelation can be beneficial in that area also.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

As with all therapies, individual progress can vary. Typically, the patient may feel a bit tired and weak immediately after the treatment due to mineral depletion (chelators also grab onto and remove all minerals). At the Center for Advanced Medicine in Encinitas, CA where we conduct hundreds of on - going chelation therapies we find that by providing the patient with the appropriate mineral supplementation we can prevent or alleviate these symptoms. Often the patient reports feeling noticeably better as soon as the day of or the day after the first treatment, with continuing improvement with successive treatments.

Each treatment lasts between one and one half hours to three hours depending on the type of chelator used and the health problem being treated. Your severity determines the number of treatments, your metal-related health problems taken into consideration. The usual range is 3- 20 (EDTA) treatments, with ten being the average.

The number of treatments can go as high as about 40 in severe cases, but this is still safer and less costly than heart bypass surgery.

The New England Journal of Medicine and the American Medical Association Newsletter reported that over 250,000 people undergo by-pass surgery yearly. Over 200,000 people who have the surgery do not necessarily need it. 85% of the by-pass surgeries in this country are not necessary. And Americans spend over $12 billion on by-pass surgery every year. Cardiovascular disease kills almost one million Americans annually.

So if you want to Take Charge of Your Health, explore EDTA - Chelation Therapy, it could save your life! "We have seen amazing results with our patients who are doing this program, and in fact we have seen an increase in the number of patients that are now doing chelation therapy. So in order to service our chelation patients better we have remodeled a whole floor for the program" says Dr. Mark Drucker.

At CAM our patients sit in a comfortable reclining chair during their treatments, with magazines or video's available. For a free copy of our Chelation - Getting It Right The First Time, call 1-888-244-4420.
