Chelation Story

If you have circulation problems of any kind the most important thing for you to do is change and improve your diet. Research is improving everyday and the information is showing that a diet high in antioxidant content can clear vessels of blockages as well as prevent them from occurring.

I have posted two new articles on this subject for I believe it is very important. The first article is about the spice cloves which is the highest ranking antioxidant food source on the planet and the one antioxidant I take almost ever day.

The second article is the most complete food list showing the antioxidant ORAC rankings. This list was compiled from more than one resource and is the most complete list I have seen on the internet.

Oral EDTA taken in large enough quantities will lower the amount of plaque in your blood vessels by chelating the plaque out. However, it has been my experience in order to really clean out your vessels and keep them clean you need a diet high in fruits and vegetables which means high in ORAC score.

Another way to insure you are getting enough antioxidants is to take antioxidant supplements or whole food supplements high in the fruits and vegetables with high antioxidants. Since I have been doing this now for over 20 years I have found some of the best supplements on the market. You can see them in my store here.

Hello again. I have recently written an article about “Natural Artery Cleaners on the main web site. This is an update to alert those people who are reading the blog. This seems to be necessary due to the way Google searches and catalogs pages.

Cocoa benefits research shows it aids hypertension. This is the top of the heap for chocolate lovers. You can now have your chocolate and eat it to. Lowering high blood pressure helps heart disease and every type of vascular disease like PAD and PVD.

I have been writing about the importance of diet and diets ability to prevent and even cure disease. Even if we have adopted a new diet lifestyle it is always fun when you find a food that 99.9% of everybody likes and it is good for you.

New research by Dr Ingrid Persson showed that 16 co-workers who consumed 75 grams a day of dark chocolate reduced there ACE activity by 18%. This type of reduction is the same as those observed when taking antihypertension medications said the Dr Persson. “Our results indicate that lifestyle changes, with the help of foods that contain high catechin and procyanidin content, prevent cardiovascular disease,” said Dr. Persson.

The dark chocolate used in Dr Perssons study contained 72% cocoa. In this quantity it inhibits the ACE activity. This is what all the ACE inhibitors drugs are trying to do.

Another study which show the same results, was one done by a Cologne Germany based scientist and he stated “The magnitude of the hypotensive effects of cocoa is clinically noteworthy; it is in the range that is usually achieved with monotherapy of beta-blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.” Read ACE inhibitors.

If you have clogged arteries you have cardiovascular disease and now another food can help you battle this condition. As research advances more into natural means to prevent and cure disease I bet we will eventually find that a good diet is all we need to stay healthy for a long lifetime.

Foods like dark chocolate contain the polyphenols catechins and flavonols. These polyphenols are powerful antioxidants which destroy the free radicals which have gotten out of hand. Free radicals are thought to be one of the causes of blood vessel damage which can lead to clogged arteries.

If anyone knows a source for dark chocolate that is the same as the chocolate used in the research please make a comment or send an email to let us know. It needs to have 72% cocoa or better..
