You’ve probably heard already that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for men and for women in the United States. But did you know there are early warning signs that you may have health problems which could be a precursor to cardiovascular disease? Did you know that by identifying these factors early and fighting them, you can actually improve your heath and prevent things from getting much worse?

One of those factors that suggest you might be having a problem is coldness feet and hands. Because cardiovascular disease is related to a narrowing of the arteries (a condition known as arthrosclerosis) that makes it harder for the oxygen-rich blood to reach the body, the hands and feet are the most likely parts of your body to lose out on your blood supply first. As a result, you may notice coldness, as well as tingling or numbness.

If you start experiencing neurological problem, such as forgetfulness or an inability to focus, this could also be related. If oxygen-rich blood can’t get into your brain, then it’s going to end up suffering the consequences: tissue damage. And that tissue damage is sometimes not reversible. There is also some research suggesting that a buildup of metal in the brain could lead to Alzheimer’s disease – that’s a scary proposition.

Another major risk factor that you might be having circulatory problems is increased fatigue. Your muscles and tissue need to have a steady supply of oxygen rich blood feeding them; otherwise, they can’t properly function. Also, the red blood cells help carry the nutrients and oxygen you need to keep your body moving. When that doesn’t happen, you’re going to start feeling more exhausted and having a harder time moving forward with what you need to stay healthy – namely exercise.

If you start feeling any or all of these symptoms, one of the best things you can do is start oral chelation therapy while also making lifestyle changes to help reduce your cholesterol.

The term vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the circulatory system. These diseases occur when plague builds up along the walls of the arteries and make it more difficult for blood and oxygen (carried by the blood) to reach the parts of the body, including tissues. When this happens, the consequences can be serious.

For example, vascular problems can lead to nerve and tissue damage that can cause pain in the legs. But these problems can also lead to the death of tissue because it is deprived of oxygen for a long period of time. In the most severe cases, vascular disease can cause death.

As you might already know, this condition of plague build up in the arteries is known as arthrosclerosis. Part of what makes this condition worse is the toxins and metals in the body. Those metals can come from a wide range of sources, even your dental fillings! And you can’t get rid of the metals in most ways. If you do one of those body cleanses that make you starve for days or weeks, you still won’t be able to get rid of the metals.

Chelation therapy, on the other hand, can get rid of the metals and can reduce your risk of vascular problems because it will cause the metals to bind with it so it can be removed from the body. Otherwise, the metals continue to build up over time and make your health worse.

Now you might think you could avoid the metals but that’s more difficult than it sounds. These dangerous metals are too prevalent in our environment and in everything we come in contact with to simply ignore them. With chelation therapy, however, you can prevent them from building up in your body and you can help reduce your risk for these serious vascular conditions.

Did you know that every hour 57 Americans die from heart disease? That’s a scary statistic, especially if you are at high risk for this condition. But the good news is you can help reduce your risk with oral chelation therapy.

But in order for you to feel better about this possible risk reduction, you would first need to understand how oral chelation works and why it could be useful in saving your life. What you might not realize is that metals in your body can mix with fat in the arteries then harden against the artery walls or can block arteries.

This oral chelation therapy actually helps remove these metals from the body safely. If they remain intact in your body, they can do a great deal of harm. You may have heard about free radicals before and your risk of cancer but free radicals can also contribute to heart disease. And heavy metal can make the situation worse.

When a lone free radical moves through the body and hits your DNA, it can be damaged. Those free radicals can also cause damage to the heart and to the arteries. The worst part is that when those free radicals hit the metals in your body they can break into thousands or millions of free radicals which can travel through the body causing more damage. If all of those free radicals hit more metals and divide again, your body will be filled with dangerous free radicals.

Now you can’t get rid of all the free radicals but that’s why you take antioxidants. But antioxidants can only do so much. With oral chelation therapy, however, you can help those antioxidants do their job more effectively by getting rid of that metal which is making their job nearly impossible.

And if you don’t think your body is full of these dangerous metals, think again. They are all around you: in your food, in your teeth fillings, in the air you breathe, and more. That’s why oral chelation is so important to your health.

Chances are you already know that clogged arteries are not a sign of good health and longevity. Instead, they could put you at serious risk for major health problems, including strokes and heart attacks. But how do you know if you’re at risk? Here are a few of the key signs:

Do you suffer from general fatigue, tiredness and no-energy? General fatigue and tiredness, not related to heavy strenuous work or activity, indicates that your circulatory system blood flow has decreased and become restricted. This is symptomatic of clogging of the arteries (a buildup of calcium and mineral deposits within your cardio vascular system).

Are you a smoker? If so, you are at significantly greater risk for clogged arteries than non-smokers. The chemicals in cigarettes seem to make atherosclerosis worse. This condition causes the arteries to become stiff and less flexible which makes the problem of arterial blockages more dangerous.

Do you have high blood pressure? Having uncontrolled hypertension also puts you at risk for this health problem. The extra pressure being exerted on your arteries actually speeds up plague formation which means they can become clogged at an earlier age and have longer to do major damage to your heart.

Do you have high LDL cholesterol levels? LDL cholesterol is considered one of the main causes of clogged arteries because these lipoproteins are the ones traveling back into the body and into the arteries where they deliver their cholesterol along the arterial walls. On the other hand, HDL cholesterol is believed to move excess cholesterol safely out of the body.

If you have one, two, or all three the issues stated above then you have a good chance of developing this life-threatening health condition. To prevent clogged arteries from stealing years of your life, you need to do the following:

• Quit smoking, if applicable
• Start using Oral chelation therapy – known to help remove toxins and metals from your body so they can’t contribute to the clogged arteries
• Start bringing down your LDL cholesterol levels through lifestyle changes
• Increase your HDL cholesterol by consuming omega 3 fatty acids and other good fats
• Develop a plan with your doctor to lower your blood pressure

When someone forgets something mid-sentence or finds themselves forgetting what they were just about to do or go, they may say: “Oh, I must just be getting old.” But forgetfulness is not harmless nor does it have to be a normal part of aging. In some cases, this early memory loss could be an early indicator of sometime more serious going on, possibly Alzheimer’s disease. If these symptoms are recognized early, oral chelation may be able to help.

First, let me explain what might very well be going on in the brain of someone who is beginning to notice greater and greater memory dysfunction. Researchers have know seen the build-up of beta amyloid plague inside the brains of people who are suffering from memory loss; the more plague had built-up the more severe the memory loss was. This plague build-up is not unlike what happens in the arteries when you develop atherosclerosis. In fact, high cholesterol levels have been linked to faster buid-up of beta amyloid plague in the brain.

Second, let me tell you what you can do about it. Oral chelation is one of the alternative medicine approaches that are showing a lot of promise in this area. If you’re not familiar with chelation, the underlying idea is that your body is constantly being contaminated not just by cholesterol but by metals and toxins you are picking up every day from the environment. These things build-up in your body and can’t be removed through conventional means, such as antibiotics, but they are slowly poisoning and damaging your body. They contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and now maybe even Alzheimer’s disease.

With oral chelation, you use a chelating agent that literally goes into your body, surrounds these toxins, and safely removes them from your body so they can’t do any more harm. That means you can actually stop memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages before it becomes much worse.

That alone might be good reason to try oral chelation for yourself or to recommend it to someone you love.
