Chelation Therapy – Your Solution To High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a condition in which the force of the blood pumped by the heart is consistently elevated due to the resistance of the arteries against the blood flow. Blood pressure is measured as the pressure of the heart beat (systolic) over the pressure of the heart at rest (diastolic). Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure of--0/90 or higher. Normal, or healthy, blood pressure for average adults should be 120/80 or less.
If blood pressure continues to be high it can cause all kinds of havoc in other systems of the body, such as kidneys and other delicate tissues. It can also cause heart attack or stroke. The heart can be enlarged because it is working harder to pump blood. Yet 30% of people who have high blood pressure don't even know they have it, because there are no symptoms. .
As we age, cholesterol, calcium, and other minerals accumulate on the inside lining of our blood vessels and, over time, clog them. This process is referred to variously as hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, and arterial plaque buildup. It makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood and thereby increases blood pressure.
Traditional medicine tends to prescribe drugs for lowering blood pressure, with no attention to the cause of high blood pressure. If results are not forthcoming with drugs, more drugs are prescribed, with little or no regard for the side effects of the medications. Certainly drugs can lower blood pressure. But at what cost in side effects and neglect of the cause of the high blood pressure?
Chelation therapy is a solution that produces little or no side effects. Chelation therapy involves the use of chemical compounds injected into the blood stream with an IV drip. This therapy was originally used to remove heavy metals from the body, and it still is. The chelator (chemical compound) used for heart health and high blood pressure is ethylene diamine tetra-acetate acid, or EDTA
It is not known exactly how chelation therapy works, but there are two similar theories. Both involve the EDTA binding itself to harmful particles in the bloodstream and thereby rendering them harmless and allowing them to pass out of the body. One theory says EDTA binds to damaging free radicals, and the other says it binds to calcium and other minerals that cause arterial plaque build up. In either case, it works, and harmful particles are removed, increasing blood flow.
As an added benefit, EDTA chelation has blood-thinning effects and discourages the formation of potentially dangerous blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Chelation has been tested and proven to be an effective cure for these vascular diseases. It is a proven means of enhancing arterial health and boosting circulation. By cleaning out arteries and increasing blood circulation, it can lower blood pressure significantly.
