CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, OSTEOPOROSIS, HYPERTENSION, DIABETES AND THE MANY OTHER USES OF
CHELATION THERAPY
We are born with hard bones loaded with calcium and soft blood vessels with elasticity and strength. But we die with soft bones that are wanting for calcium and hard brittle blood vessels loaded with calcium deposits. Why, over the course of our lifetime, does our calcium move from where it does the most good to places where it does harm and ultimately causes our death?
The calcium pumps within our cells are constantly removing calcium that tries to enter intracellular much the same as a bilge pump removes small amounts of seawater that leaks into a boat.
When the bilge pumps gets old and stops, the ship sinks. When our body wide calcium pumps get old and stop, we die. A buildup of intracellular calcium beyond acceptable levels is what causes our death.
What causes the calcium bilge pumps to break? Well, that’s the story of medicine, nutrition, oxygen, vitamins, poisons, infections, hormones, injuries, the environment, etc., etc... Everything we are dealing with causes this problem. Calcium has a tendency to leave our bones and leak into our cells and it is most evident in our arteries where in combination with cholesterol, it clogs our plumbing system and stops our circulation.
This calcium probably is not however limited to our blood vessels. Stones of calcium affect our kidneys and gall bladders; calcium deposits clog our joints and cause arthritis. Intracellular calcium affects our muscles causing Fibromyalgia and simple intra cellular ionic calcium affects metabolism that leads to problems such as diabetes.
Many other “heavy metals’ such as mercury, lead and arsenic cause a whole range of other problems. There needs to be a safe way of removing normal this normal with aging but abnormal buildup of calcium and heavy metal poisoning within our cells.
The answer is: Chelation Therapy
Chele is the Latin word for the claw of the crab. A chelating agent is a chemical that “wraps around” or “crab claws” around a heavy metal molecule and aids its movement from one place to another. The chemical most widely used for safe Chelation is EDTA, which when used according to protocols developed by the American Academy for the Advancement for Medicine (ACAM), has close to 50 year history in well over a million Chelation treatments without any significant morbidity or deaths. Our office uses the ACAM approved protocols to do Chelation plus those sanctioned by The Arizona Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medical Examiners.
In the case of heavy metals, the Chelation principles are simple, lead and arsenic molecules cannot pass through the kidney system by themselves. The EDTA / Lead or EDTA / Arsenic chelated compound easily passes through the kidney and will leave the body.
Magnesium EDTA was not a good chelator of mercury but Calcium EDTA (Plus the proper Homeopathics) does and there are also other compounds such as oral DMSA, OSR and IBD that can also chelate mercury.
The second thing that is important about EDTA is that it causes our bones to make new bones through an intricate change in the balance of bone breakdown and bone formation.
EDTA introduced intravenously binds serum calcium and lowers bloods calcium levels. The Parathyroid senses this and parathormone causes the dissolving of aberrant calcium deposits throughout the body. Calcium also comes out of intracellular areas ( where we don’t want it) to replace this void as well and then the parathormone also causes our bones to pick up the “new” untrapped calcium to put the calcium back into our bones and make new stronger bones.
IT IS HOWEVER VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT IV EDTA CHELATION THERAPY DOES NOT DISSOLVE THE PLAQUES IN OUR BLOOD VESSELS!
Of course EDTA is indiscriminate and takes the good minerals along with the bad and flushes them out.
It is very important for a Chelation patient to be on a supplementation program that replaces the good minerals that are lost. There is in fact a very strict protocol that must be followed for the safe sojourn into the process of Chelation. It is our plan to monitor patient’s progress with appropriate lab work, repeat heavy metal urine challenges and heart rate variability measurement as well as insistence on strict adherence to the ACAM protocols.
We believe that proper Chelation heavy metal cleanout with proper supplementation will make our Comprehensive Homeopathy / Electrodermal procedures that much more effective.
