Chelation Therapy

Here is occlusive coronary atherosclerosis. The coronary at the left is narrowed by 60 to 70%. The coronary at the right is even worse with evidence for previous thrombosis with organization of the thrombus and recanalization such that there are three small lumens remaining.

Atherosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries", is the cause of two most deadly health problems Unfortunately, it begins quite early in life and continues relentlessly until circulation is so compromised that a heart attack or a stroke is almost certain. The process begins innocently enough, by formation of a small plaque on the wall of an artery. It attracts platelets that form a small blood clot. Later on, additional clotting elements increase the size of the clot. Eventually cholesterol and calcium get deposited into the growing plaque. Calcium completes this process, making the arteries "hard".

This is a normal coronary artery with no atherosclerosis and a wide lumen that can carry as much blood as the myocardium requires. Normally arteries have the ability to expand or contract, depending on the need of the body. But once the calcium is settled on the arterial walls, they become rigid, unable to either expand or contract. That’s where the expression "hardening of the arteries" comes from. The cells of the body require continuous blood supply in order to live. When it stops, most cells die within a few minutes. If this happens in the heart, the result is known as a heart attack. In the brain, it is called a stroke.

MAJOR SYMPTOMS Chest pain (angina) because of decreased circulation within the heart, memory loss, dizziness, poor balance from reduced blood flow to the brain, pain in the legs after walking which is relieved by rest.

TRADITIONAL – TREATMENT Hardening of the arteries is a systemic disease. In other words, it happens throughout the body, not just in one or 2 areas. If you understand this, you will realize that the current approach to treatment is crude, primitive and misguided. Some experts have compared it to putting a band-aid on a major injury.

When a surgeon performs a bypass surgery or an angioplasty, it does nothing to correct the widespread atherosclerosis already present in other parts of the body, such as brain, kidneys, lungs, legs and everywhere else. To complicate matters further, most of the arteries are very small. They are called capillaries, and they comprise the majority of the 40 to 60 thousand miles or arteries feeding the tissues of the body.

The diameter of a capillary is smaller than the size of a red blood cell. This is necessary for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients to take place. Obviously, these arteries can not be bypassed or surgically manipulated. Various medications used for "treatment" of heart disease are designed to deal only with the symptoms, not the real causes of the problem. Clearly, the real treatment for atherosclerosis would be a procedure that removes the plaques from the arteries and restores blood flow all over the body, in large arteries as well as small ones. And this brings us to

CHELATION – THERAPY
Chelation Therapy is probably one of the most effective treatments for hardening of the arteries, yet it is being ignored and even maligned by mainstream medicine. Chelation therapy was used successfully in over 1 million clients over the last 40 plus years. The main ingredient of chelation therapy is a synthetic amino acid known as EDTA (ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid). It has a peculiar ability to strongly attract minerals, especially toxic metals - lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum and others. Since then, a number of studies published in reputable medical journals have confirmed the effectiveness of IV chelation therapy for treating atherosclerosis and improving blood flow to the heart, the legs and the brain.

Cadmium

Cadmium is a widespread heavy metal in the environment and in our bodies. It is very poisonous, and we only excrete cadmium in very small amounts.

Cadmium can cause damage to all types of body cells. By damaging the cell membrane, cadmium increases the permeability of the cells, one of the consequences being that the transfer of other heavy metals into the cells is facilitated. In the acute stage, cadmium intoxication causes enteritis. A slow accumulation of cadmium takes place, mainly in the kidneys; the liver and bones are other important sites for cadmium storage.

Food products account for more than 90 percent of human exposure to cadmium, except in the vicinity of cadmium-emitting industries, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Cadmium has fast uptake through the roots to edible leaves, fruits and seeds. Cadmium builds up in animal milk and fatty tissues. A 1990 study showed that acute cadmium toxicity from food is rare, but chronic exposure at lower levels increases cadmium in certain body organs.

One source of cadmium in our environment, and main reason for cadmium accumulating in the body, is tobacco smoke. One cigarette contains 16-24 mcg. of cadmium of which the body absorbs approximately half. In addition to this, 5 - 10% of the cadmium from our food and other sources is absorbed; therefore, a substantial amount of cadmium is stored in our body system over a number of years.

Prolonged accumulation of cadmium in the body stains the teeth. It can cause damage to the nervous system, decrease the detoxification power of the organism, it can cause high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, damage the immune system; most importantly the antibody production, decrease fertility, cause anemia, emphysema, and cancer.

Increased concentrations of cadmium had been found in the placenta of women who have given birth to children with low birth weight, neural damage, and Down’s syndrome. Children who are exposed to large concentrations of cadmium in their environment often have learning disabilities.

Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Therapy Suppositories are a new patented method of Ca-EDTA chelation therapy medically equivalent to I.V. chelation therapy.

Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Therapy Suppositories are a new patented method of Ca-EDTA chelation therapy medically equivalent to I.V. chelation therapy.

The difference is that Detoxamin introduces a smaller dosage of Calcium Disodium EDTA on a nightly basis.

By applying the highly efficacious Detoxamin suppository containing EDTA, you remove toxic metal from cells all over the body.

The self-administration is performed rectally before retiring so that as you sleep you are taking chelation therapy with EDTA. There's no need for intravenous infusions or quantities of nutritional supplements.

What is EDTA chelation therapy and what is it used for?Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is the process by which a metal or mineral (such as lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, aluminum, etc.) is bonded to another substance-in this case an amino acid called EDTA, Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetic acid. It is a natural process, basic to life itself. During EDTA chelation therapy, the EDTA infusion bonds with unwanted metals in the body and quickly carries them away in the urine.

Chelation therapy is a safe, effective alternative to drugs and surgeries and is used to treat many illnesses now known to be linked to the presence of toxic heavy metals. Illnesses such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, circulatory disorders, neuropathies, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, and adverse reactions to many environmental pollutants. Traditional chelation therapy uses an intravenous drip, and is administered in the outpatient setting.

The number of treatments vary based on each person's individual condition and/or goals of treatment. The average therapy is given one to three times a week for twenty to thirty treatments.How long has EDTA chelation therapy been in use? Why don't more people use it?EDTA chelation therapy for the detoxification for heavy metals has been in continuous use since the 1940s when it was introduced specifically for the treatment of lead poisoning. It was very quickly observed that as the metals were eliminated, not only did the signs and symptoms of lead poisoning abate, but problems related to the circulatory system like heart attacks, angina, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease also improved.

For the past 50 years, well over one million people have received the intravenous form of EDTA chelation. As beneficial and life saving as this therapy has become, it is very expensive and very time-consuming, making it out of reach for most people.Why is Ca-EDTA, Calcium Disodium EDTA, so much better than other types of chelation therapy?According to Dr. Bruce Halstead, "The chemistry of all chelators is such that a change of pH can dramatically effect the process of chemical binding needed to chelate a mineral or metal. When you use a less effective chelator, such as Magnesium EDTA, you lose all chelating ability of the two most essential heavy metals: lead and mercury. Magnesium di-Potassium EDTA has a dramatically lower chelating effectiveness than Calcium EDTA because both magnesium and potassium dramatically decrease the pH in the blood environment to which it is introduced. Any factor decreasing pH renders EDTA less effective.

Once the pH is lowered more than 7.38, it's no longer chemically conducive to any bonding or chelating." (Dr. Halstead is well known as the 'Father of Chelation Therapy'.)

Dr. Morton Walker Speaks on Detoxamin - Toxic Metals Induce Degenerative Diseases; Rectal Chelation Therapy Overcomes Them.

Environmentalists warn us repeatedly that we live on a poisoned planet. Toxins from mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, iron, nickel, and about 20 more metallic minerals permeate the Earth's milieu. Heavy and light metals poison us by combining to create deleterious signs and symptoms often referred to collectively as Toxic Metal Syndrome.

This syndrome, an indicator of serious systemic pathology, results in degenerative diseases which affect no less than 92% of the populations of Western industrialized nations, in particular, those people living in apartment high-rises and other polluted city dwellings. What happens to them? These poisoned people eventually come down with manifestations of degenerative illnesses such as heart and/or blood vessel deteriorations; pancreatitis; gout, rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis; the syndromes of yeast, chronic fatigue, and/or irritable bowel; Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism, and many more which may be deadly-cancer for instance.

Although a poisoned person's bones remain toxic for life, excellent self-treatment exists to reduce or reverse most symptoms of illness in other body parts. First, get tested for the extent of toxicity, then neutralize metallic poisoning with a chelating agent such as Detoxamin. By applying the highly efficacious Detoxamin suppository containing EDTA, you remove toxic metal from cells all over the body. The self-administration is performed rectally before retiring so that as you sleep you are taking chelation therapy with EDTA. There's no need for intravenous infusions or quantities of nutritional supplements.Rectal chelation therapy does the job of detoxifying in a low-cost, convenient manner; it's an effective way to effuse EDTA through the bowel's walls and into your blood stream to clean toxic metals from all body cells.

Do I need Ca-EDTA chelation therapy?
We find ourselves existing in a far more toxic and hostile environment than our bodies were designed to handle. Experts have shown that almost every health problem-from learning disorders to cancer and heart disease-is aggravated by the approximate 1,000% increase in lead levels in our bones. In 1999, it was reliably reported that hearts with some form of disease have 20,000 times more toxic heavy metals than healthy hearts."Human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically in the last 50 years as a result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy metals in industrial processes and products." says Maile Pouls, Ph.D (Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, July 1999).A recently concluded "Body Burden" study by New York's Mt. Sinai Hospital and the Environmental Working Group was reviewed by University of Oregon Professor Joseph Thornton: "It shows the universality of chemical contamination of people's bodies," Thornton said.

All the studies "confirm the general message that everybody in our society has these chemicals building up. Some people have it worse than others, but everyone has it. No one is clean anymore." (From Being Careful Can't Keep Chemicals Out of Your Body, Miami Herald, February 1, 2003.)Today we know that about one out of every 2.5 Americans will get cancer. Ninety eight percent of cancer is caused by toxic chemicals. When 50% of all men and 33% of all women living now will die of cancer, something is terribly wrong. (Mortality from cancer was reduced by 90% during an 18-year study of 59 patients treated with Calcium-EDTA. This and over 40 other studies prove the efficacy of Ca-EDTA, Calcium Disodium EDTA chelation therapy and Detoxamin. We will all function better and live longer if we lower the overall burden of toxic metals within ourselves. If you eat or breathe, you will probably benefit greatly from chelation therapy.

Is Detoxamin safe for children?
Yes. In fact, Detoxamin case studies were conducted on lead poisoning in children. The study showed no significant increase in BUN or creatinine levels even in very young children. Due to our lower dosage and time release formulation, no renal toxicity was encountered.BEHAVIORAL, STRUCTURAL, FUNCTIONAL ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS HEAVY METAL TOXINS.Reference: Published in the August issue of Alternative & Complimentary Therapies (a magazine for doctors) and Published in Townsend Letter for Doctor's and PatientsPsychiatric Disturbances:

Detoxamin Usage Instructions: Detoxamin EDTA Suppositories are solid, bullet-shaped preparations designed for easy insertion into the anus (back passage). Detoxamin is manufactured in a cocoa-butter base, a time-release agent (fatty acid base), and 750 mg of Calcium-Disodium EDTA. Detoxamin will dissolve at body temperature and will gradually spread over the lining of the lower bowel (rectum), where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Detoxamin is designed to release 750 mg Calcium Disodium EDTA slowly, over an 80-minute period.

A. Detoxamin Protocol for More Severe Cases:
1. Take one suppository at night, prior to bedtime.
2. Take every night for up to 90 days. This will provide the medical equivalence of 30 IV Chelation treatments.
3. Take proper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.
4. Take all other suplementaion every day.B. Detoxamin Protocol for Less Severe Cases/Anti-Aging/Prevention:
1. Take Detoxamin every OTHER night, prior to bedtime.
2. Take Detoxamin every other night for 180 days (90 suppositories). This will provide the medical equivalence of 30 IV chelation treatments.
3. Take proper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.
4. Take all other supplementation every day.

Detoxamin Protocol AFTER A or B is completed:
Your bones are toxic for life. Lead and other heavy metals are stored in the bones and get re-distributed into the bloodstream. Therefore, it is highly recommended to continue maintenance with Detoxamin, this provides the ultimate in Anti-aging benefits.

1. Take 5 Detoxamin suppositories over a 30-day period. This porvides medically equal to about 2 EDTA IV treatments.
2. Take porper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.

Note: Detoxamin is designed to be taken at night, however some patients and physicians prefer taking a suppository in the morning after evacuation. (Optional)

How to Use Detoxamin:
Insert Detoxamin suppositories at night, prior to bedtime.
Eat early in the evening, about 4 hours prior to bedtime. (Reduces any discomfort).
1. Go to the toilet and empty your bowels if necessary.
2. Wash your hands.
3. Remove the plastic wrapping from Detoxamin.
4. Either squat or lie on your side with one leg bent and the other staight.
5. Gently but firmly push the suppository into the rectum, FLAT end first until past the sphincter muscle. By inserting the flat end first opposed to the pointed end, the suppository will travel higher up in the rectum more easily. If necessarey moisten the suppository with a little water. Push it in far enough so it doesn't slip out.
6. Close your legs and sit or lay still for a few minutes.
7. Wash your hands again.
8. Try not to empty your bowels for at least 80 minutes.
9. It is optional to take Detoxamin in the morning, after evacuation.

STORAGE: Store Detoxamin in a cool dark place, but not in the fridge. If Detoxamin suppository gets warm it may melt, put the fridge for a few minutes, this will return the suppository to its original state so it may be inserted.
Shelf Life: 2 Years

Blood Pressure Woes Start Earlier Than You Think

(HealthDay News) -- Until recently, doctors treating high blood pressure limited their concern to blood pressure that exceeded a reading of 140 systolic (the upper number) and 90 diastolic (the lower number).
About two-thirds of Americans over age 65 have this level of high blood pressure, according to federal health statistics.
But now medical experts say the damage done by elevated blood pressure starts at levels much lower than that, when people are experiencing a less severe condition known as "prehypertension." That's the term given to blood pressure ranging from 120/80 to 139/89, higher than normal but not within the traditional danger zone.
"There's always been this ambiguity about this blood pressure that's not normal, but not high blood pressure either," said Dr. Adnan I. Qureshi, director of the cerebrovascular program in the Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Research Center at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. "But we now know that when you have prehypertension, you have a three-times greater risk of having a heart attack than people with normal blood pressure."
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of arteries. High blood pressure is dangerous because it makes the heart exert itself too hard and contributes to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, according to the National Institutes of Health.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, which are the first- and third-leading causes of death among Americans. It also can result in other conditions, such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease and blindness.
Nearly one of every three American adults, some 65 million people, has high blood pressure. People tend to develop high blood pressure as they get older, with middle-aged Americans facing a 90 percent chance of having it during their lives.
African-Americans are at greater risk of developing high blood pressure and have been shown to get it earlier in life and more often than whites. Others at risk for developing high blood pressure are people who are overweight, those with a family history of hypertension and those with prehypertension.
Recent studies have shown that people with prehypertension are three times more likely to have a heart attack and 1.7 times more likely to develop heart disease. An estimated 59 million Americans have prehypertension.
It's important to detect and treat high blood pressure early, to limit the condition's effects on the body, said Dr. Jeffrey Cutler, a senior advisor for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
"Over the years, the higher pressure damages and aggravates diseases of the arteries," Cutler said.
Luckily, blood pressure is a condition that receives regular medical attention. "When you go see a doctor for anything, you get your blood pressure checked," Cutler said.
He recommended that people not rely on automatic blood-pressure machines, like those found in drug stores or supermarkets. "Those cuffs are not well-maintained or very accurate, and we discourage dependence on them for reassurance that your blood pressure's OK," Cutler said.
Once you've got high blood pressure, or prehypertension, a range of treatments are available.
Lifestyle changes are the first line of defense -- keeping your weight down, exercising regularly, reducing salt in your diet, cutting down on drinking, quitting smoking, and following a healthy eating plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy foods.
But that only goes so far, Cutler said.
"Studies have shown that the majority of patients will need some medication," he said. "Some well-motivated people can get there with lifestyle changes, but not many."
The problem with prehypertension is that it falls within a gray area where medicine will not necessarily help, Qureshi said.
"With hypertension, we know that medication may be beneficial. With prehypertension, we don't know that yet," he said.
"It's still an evolving body of knowledge," Qureshi added. "We know prehypertension needs to be addressed, but we don't know what to do with these patients, and there are so many of them that we can't ignore the problem. Whatever we come up with will have true public impact."
For now, doctors are recommending that prehypertensive patients follow the same lifestyle changes as people will full-blown high blood pressure, Qureshi said.
"The real message for the public is that if you are prehypertensive, do not ignore it," he said. "You do have something to worry about."

Indication for Siberian Ginseng

Indication for Siberian Ginseng

Depression: Depression is, of course, affected by every aspect of our lives. Those suffering from mild to moderate depression can often be helped just by the increase in energy and the resilience towards stress. However, Siberian ginseng also seems to have a specific action against the condition itself.

Stress and associated symptoms: Similar to the other forms of ginseng, Siberian ginseng is used to treat a plethora of conditions. For instance, since Siberian ginseng contains substances that exert beneficial effects on the adrenals (small glands on top of the kidneys that secrete stress-fighting hormones) it effectively combats the symptoms of stress. These include insomnia, moodiness, and fatigue.

Chronic illnesses (such as cancer): The herb is often used as part of a recovery program from chronic illnesses such as cancer. The supplement increases energy stores and helps to relieve the stress of chemotherapy (or other invasive treatments). For these same reasons it is often given to athletes during training. Siberian ginseng is also very effective in the treatment of prolonged exhaustion and debility, resulting from overwork and long-term stress.

Mental functions: Mental acuity can also be improved by Siberian ginseng. Many people swear by the use of it during tests. Often times, stress is the cause for faulty memory, lack of focus, and other common complaints. It’s a cycle in which the symptoms produce more stress, which produces more symptoms. Siberian ginseng seems to be able to defuse this by relieving tension and allowing the mind to focus.

Anorexia nervosa: Increasing energy gradually is important to those struggling with anorexia nervosa. Although, the other forms of ginseng are too strong for this situation, Siberian ginseng seems to work gently and effectively to improve the overall condition of patients. This makes recovery more likely.

Resisting Illnesses: The herb also stimulates immune resistance and is often used as a preventative during flu and cold season. As a general tonic, Siberian ginseng helps to prevent infection and maintain well being. Because of this immune boosting effect, Siberian ginseng is frequently included in nutritional support programs for people with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.

Alzheimer’s disease: It may benefit people who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease by increasing mental alertness. Research is still needed in this area but patients given Siberian ginseng seem to respond favorably.

PMS, Menopause, & Fertility: By slightly altering hormone levels and toning the uterus, Siberian ginseng may be effective in treating menstrual irregularities and symptoms of menopause. It also appears to be helpful in preventing female infertility. When alternated with Panax ginseng, it may even be an effective treatment in some cases of impotence.

Other conditions: Other conditions for which Siberian ginseng is occasionally recommended are arthrosclerosis, impaired kidney function, kidney pain, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, blood pressure disorders, symptoms of coronary atherosclerosis, symptoms of radiotherapy- and chemotherapy-induced leukopenia (decrease in white blood cells), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Brown Seaweed May Be a Fat Fighter

(HealthDay News) -- That tasty miso soup you had for lunch may be more than delicious -- it could help you burn away excess fat.

That's the conclusion of preliminary research presented Monday at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting, in San Francisco.

Researchers led by Kazuo Miyashita, a chemistry professor at the Hokkaido University Graduate School of Fisheries Sciences in Japan, investigated the effects of brown seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida -- a type of kelp called wakame that is widely consumed in Japan.

They found that fucoxanthin, the brown pigment in the seaweed, promoted a 5 percent to 10 percent weight loss in mice and rats by shrinking abdominal fat. The compound appeared to stimulate a protein that causes fat oxidation and conversion of energy to heat. This protein is found in white adipose tissue -- belly fat -- and that means fucoxanthin might be particularly effective at shrinking oversized guts, the researchers hypothesized.

Fucoxanthin also stimulated the animals' livers to produce DHA, a beneficial omega-3 fatty acid that reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol that contributes to atherosclerosis.

"The exciting finding is that fucoxanthin may increase metabolism and weight control," said Connie Diekman, director of University Nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis. "But the downside is that this is an animal study, and we can't automatically translate from animals to humans."

Fucoxanthin belongs in the phytochemical food category, and these foods have a lot of benefits, Diekman added. But she cautioned that, "we need to look at these studies for their interest but [also] recognize that the bottom line is, there is no magic when it comes to weight control."

Lona Sandon, an assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, agreed. "Fucoxanthin potentially could help control weight, and help produce more heart-healthy DHA. But these are very preliminary studies done at the molecular level on rats, not on humans," she said. "So, although it looks promising, we've got a long way to go before we know that eating seaweed will keep our waistlines thin."

Consumers should understand that clinicians and researchers have a "whole lot to learn about weight control in humans and this is one study in a long investigation," Diekman cautioned.

"Don't give up on what we know will work -- correct food choices, right portions and regular physical activity. It's hard, but magic isn't going to help you be healthier. A healthier lifestyle is the key."

Still, the Japanese researchers hope that further study could eventually lead to a pill containing fucoxanthin that might be consumed daily or as needed. That pill will be a long time in the making, however. Even though human studies are planned, it will likely be at least five years before a fucoxanthin-based anti-obesity pill would be available to consumers. Until then, people should continue to eat a well-balanced diet and get plenty of exercise, Miyashita said in a prepared statement.

Seaweed isn't the only food promising medicinal powers. According to research presented at the same meeting by scientists at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in Japan, mandarin oranges may reduce the risk of liver cancer in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. After one year, no liver cancer was detected in 30 patients who drank one cup daily of a beverage containing mandarin orange juice. On the other hand, 8.9 percent of 45 patients who didn't drink the beverage developed liver cancer.

In other research presented at the meeting, a team at the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science in Japan surveyed 1,073 Japanese people who consumed large amounts of mandarin oranges. They report that chemical markers in the subjects' blood were associated with a lower risk for liver disease, atherosclerosis, and insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes.

And there's more good food news -- wheat, corn, and rice flour can be modified into an enhanced product that makes the flour's antioxidants more available to the body, according to University of Maryland researchers.

Those same researchers also say they've developed a new type of flour from fruit seeds -- normally waste products from the processing of juice and fruit products. In laboratory studies, the fruit-seed flour appears to have the ability to fight inflammation, cancer and food-borne bacteria, the scientists said.

Finally, researchers at Nihon University in Japan reported that they've made the calcium in soybeans more easily absorbed, by removing an absorption-hindering chemical called phytate. They also modified two amino acids in soybeans so that they form a whiter, smoother product and retain the original taste.

Benefits of EDTA Chelation Therapy in Arteriosclerosis

Journal of Advancement in MedicineVolume 6, Number 3, Fall 1993
Benefits of EDTA Chelation Therapy in Arteriosclerosis:A Retrospective Study of 470 Patients. Hancke, Md, and K. Flytlie, MD

ABSTRACT: In a retrospective study we report results of EDTA chelation in 470 patients, using a number of parameters, most of them objective. Although the patients acted as their own controls, we observed improvements of 80 to 91%, depending upon the measurements used.

Of 92 patients referred for surgical intervention, only 10 required ultimate surgery after or during their chelation therapy, thus saving an estimated 3 million dollars of insurance money.

Our experience covers a period of 6 years and we saw no severe side-effects or casualties arising from the treatment. We conclude that EDTA chelation therapy is safe, effective and cost-saving.
Introduction
Intravenous administration of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) has been used from the beginning of the 1950s by an increasing number of physicians throughout the world for the treatment of arteriosclerosis. In the last few years, there has been increasing criticism of surgical intervention in this disease, since it fails to prolong life, and is a temporary solution in treating a generalized, chronic condition (1).

In addition, surgery damages vital tissue by means of reperfusion-released free-radical bursts (2,3). Evidence for effectiveness of EDTA chelation therapy is cumulative over many years (4-9), and the recent association of iron in the etiology of cardiovascular disease (10) makes the technique worthy of complete acceptance today.

It has been proved effective in a number of clinical trials (11-16). The impact of oxidative processes on age-related illness is a relatively new science, which began in the late fifties. The impact of oxygen derived free radicals on the occurrence of reperfusion damage is well documented (2-5,8,9). That the method is ignored here in Denmark may be due to lack of understanding of the importance of these processes.

Another possible explanation may be the harsh attitude of the Danish vascular surgeons from the first introduction of chelation therapy in Denmark in 1987. A study of 153 patients with claudication was published in three different journals in 1991 and 1992 (17-19). This study, which is seriously defective, has been publicly opposed (20,21). It is the only existing study that did not show a significant benefit from EDTA therapy. The results were better in the treatment group, but the effect was reportedly not statistically significant.

MATERIALS and METHODS
This study included 470 patients with claudication and/or angina pectoris, who received at least 15 women and 311 men. Of these, 206 were older than 69 years, 92 between 65 and 69, 90 between 60 and 64, and 82 under 60 years. Diagnosis was verified by systolic ankle-arm blood pressure index (Doppler technique), and by stress test on a treadmill. All were interviewed and examined by a physician before and after treatment.

METHOD
All patients were given I.V. infusions of 500 ml sterile water with Na2
EDTA, 50 mg/Kg (Maximum 3 grams) and the infusion included Vitamin C, sodium bicarbonate and magnesium as prescribed in the protocol of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) (22).

In addition, the patients were provided with an oral high dose vitamin/mineral supplementation without iron and copper, 6 tablets a day. Before treatment, a determination was made of blood hemoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fasting blood glucose, creatinine, creatinine clearance, total and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, leucocytes, uric acid, sodium and potassium.
All patients were counseled by both verbal and written communication on the importance of physical exercise, proper nutrition and omitting tobacco.

Treatments were administered on an out-patient basis and continued until the patients had a stable clinical situation. This usually required 30 treatments of 3-4 hours duration over a period of 3-4 months. Final assessment was made on completion of treatment and again 2 months later when complete physical examination was repeated.

Patient with claudication had their ankle-arm index, walking distance, foot temperature, pain at rest, skin color of feet and healing of wounds assessed and registered. Subjective judgement of resting pain was rated on a scale from 1-3. Patients with angina pectoris had their working capacity measured on a treadmill, and ST depression by electrocardiogram. Any arrhythmias, blood pressure, body weight and kidney function were noted.

The subjective judgement of results was rated on a scale from 1 to 3 with regard to the number of attacks of angina pectoris and consumption of nitroglycerin (1: worse, 2: unchanged = 10%, and 3: improved). Medications, general state of health, energy level, smoking habits, hearing, visual sense and presence or absence of “dizziness” were recorded.

RESULTS
Results of the 470 patients completing treatment are shown in Tables 1 through 5. Table 1 shows the sex distribution and results in 265 patients with myocardial ischemia. Of these, 101 over the ages of 69 were improved, 6 were the same and one was worse. Of those between 60 and 69 years, 93 were better, 9, unchanged and 1 was worse. Below the age of 60, 47 were better, 7 unchanged and none were worse. The two patients who were worse were the only ones with angina pectoris who received less than 31 treatments.

In the group with claudification, including 262 patients, we found an improvement in 82%, distributed according to age and sex as shown in Table 2. Table 3 shows the ankle/arm ratios which were improved in 82%. Walking distance, which includes both claudification and myocardial ischemia patients, was improved in 87% of the patients.

Figure 1 shows the numbers of patients threatened with amputation or coronary by-pass surgery before and after EDTA chelation therapy. Several of the patients in the claudification group started treatment very late in the course of the illness. Of 44 who had problems with wound healing, 31 improved, 11 were unchanged and 2 became worse. Of 137 who complained of cold feet, 110 improved, 27 were unchanged and none became worse (Table 3)

In the group with angina pectoris, many were so severely disabled that they had been refused bypass surgery, and no other medical treatment was offered. As shown in Table 4, of 253 patients with electrocardiographic S-T depression, 175 showed improvement, 74 were unchanged and 4 had increased S-T depression. The average blood pressure decreased in 109 patients, 37 were unchanged and one had a higher blood pressure. Working capacity was assessed in both myocardial ischemia and claudication patients. This was measured in Joules by computerized ergometry. Of 318 patients undergoing this study, 271 showed improvement (85%).

Of 207 patients using nitroglycerine, 189 reduced their consumption. Most of them were able to discontinue its use altogether. However, 16 continued with the same dose as before and 2 had to increase their dose.

No morbidity or serious side effects directly due to the treatment were reported in the clinics from 1987 to 1993. Table 5 shows the benefits in other parameters as well as it shows difficulty in handling the problems of smoking and excess body weight. Fortunately, only 147 of the 470 were smokers initially and 86 of them continued to smoke during the treatment

Subjective improvement in coldness of feet, increased energy and work capacity, together with striking improvement in general condition were noted by most patients. Several of the male patients reported improved sexual potency, improved sight and hearing, and symptoms like migraine and tinnitus disappeared as an unexpected bonus for many patients.

Although a placebo effect could not be ruled out, of course, the degree of improvement was remarkable and exceeds our previous experience with similar patients. Of 65 patients who referred for coronary by-pass surgery, 58 did not require it after chelation therapy. Of 27 patients awaiting amputation as the only surgical offer of treatment, 24 avoided surgery.

Discussion
In our view, the beneficial results were far excess of the 10-15% improvement that is usually seen in the placebo group of a controlled study. Some patients with claudication who were unable to walk more than 100 feet could walk painlessly for 2 miles or ride several miles on a bicycle after their treatment.

We found convincing evidence that EDTA infusion therapy is effective in treating arteriosclerosis. Our results are identical with those of other similar studies (12-16). Although the study registration was done in two sections, one in March 1991, and one in April 1993, the results are the same. It is evident that results are reproducible from patient to patient, from clinic to clinic and internationally.

Such results have led to a worldwide increase in interest in chelation therapy in medical circles familiar with the theoretical principles of oxygen derived free radical pathology. This interest has resulted in an increased scientific effort by a number of investigators (4,12-16,23-26)
On the basis of such well published data, it seems to us that it is unethical to wait for a randomized, double blind, cross-over study to approve EDTA chelation for the treatment of arteriosclerosis, though we admit that such a FDA approved study would set the seal on this therapy if it were to be as successful as we believe it would be, based on our results and those already published.

Since there is massive evidence that the spontaneous development of arteriosclerosis is the number one killer disease in the Western World, there is every reason to hasten to increase our efforts to bring this important therapy into mainstream medicine as soon as possible.

Conclusion
In spite of the weakness and possibility of bias in a retrospective study without a control group, the historical record for treatment of this disease is poor. We find it difficult not to conclude that EDTA chelation therapy is a safe, effective and cost-saving method of improving angina pectoris and intermittent claudication. We urge a massive and concerted effort to study the method further.

THE CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF CANCER - Saul Pressman

We now understand the chemical mechanisms of respiration and fermentation at the cellular level. And due to the work of Dr. Otto Warburg, since 1926 we have known that when a cell is deprived of oxygen, down to about 40% of normal, its respiration is irrevesibly damaged. This damage causes the cell to begin to ferment sugar anerobically producing carbon monoxide and lactic acid, and only 1/6 of the energy of normal cellular aerobic oxidation. The cell loses its governor on growth and begins to grow wildly - - what we call cancer.
This oxygen deficiency, or hypoxia, can be caused by many factors. Some poison may reach the cell and prevent oxygen uptake, or the excretory duct of a gland may become plugged up, as in breast cancer being cause by lymph gland plugging. But the end result is the same. As soon as the oxygen level to the cell is reduced, if the cell does not die, cancer will result. Frequent small doses of respirtory poisons are therefore more dangerous than a single large dose, where there is the chance that the cells will be killed rather than become cancerous.
All carcinogens impair cellular respiration. The word carcinogen is an empty word. The continual search for more carcinogenic substances is an utter waste of time and money, because this obscures the true cause of cancer, which is the oxygen starvation of the cell. It also prevents the treatment of cancer, because of musunderstanding the cause.
To destroy cancer, what is required is the introduction of massive amounts of oxygen at the cellular level. This can be done by ingesting magnesium peroxide or introducing ozone. These two treatments have been in use for over 75 years, with excellent success. They must be taken in sufficient quantities to flood the cells with oxygen, killing the cells which are now operating anaerobically.
We have recently seen people using ozone with rectal insufflation who have had mixed results. This is due to the bowel being compacted over the years with fecal material trapped in the folds. In these cases, the ozone is merely reacting with this old material, some of which may have been held there for ten or twenty years, and providing no benefit to the body.
This points out the necessity for undergoing a thorough cleansing of the large intestine by a qualified colon therapist before beginning rectal insufflation. Also, it is necessary to take the ozone in as many different ways as possible, in order that the cells become flooded with oxygen. It is not sufficient to take just a small amount to kill an active cancer. For breast cancer, direct injection into the tumor is possible. For liver cancer, injection into the portal vein, as developed by Dr. William Turska, is necessary. For other cancers, injection in the arm is usually employed.
Another effect we have observed is that there is a cycle of activity to the effectiveness of ozone. As near as we can tell, the cycle is linked to the phases of the moon. The moon governs the tides of the earth and the emotions of mankind. Since the emotions are directly linked to the immune system, the healing process would seem to be influenced by our faithful heavenly partner. Ozone also has the ability to prevent cancer. If sufficient oxygen is provided to the cells so that they never drop below 40%, they will stay healthy, barring any chemical or radiation poisoning. It is as simple, and as difficult, as that. Many people today are using ozone generators to keep their cellular oxygen levels high, to prevent disease. Ozone may be taken into the body in many ways. You can drink ozonated water, introduce it into the ear, or you can step into a body suit after a hot shower and allow ozone to come in through the skin. Ozone can be taken with rectal or vaginal insufflation. People often ask whether they will have to continue to take ozone for the rest of their life. We say that if you want to eliminate toxins from your body every day and prevent your cells from being deprived of oxygen and thus turning anaerobic, then taking ozone daily is a small price to pay. As previously said, when a cell is not receiving enough oxygen, it begins to ferment sugar and produce lactic acid. This lactic acid accumulates in the tissues and causes many problems. To remove it, it is necessary to do deep muscle massage, with ozonated olive oil, perhaps followed by ozone with a body suit or in th Saunette. This will oxidize the lactic acid and allow it to be eliminated from the body. We hear a great deal about cholesterol and clogging of the arteries, and there are any number of diets aimed at reducing the intake of dietary cholesterol. However, cholesterol is produced by the body as a natural lubricant, and new research shows that dietary cholesterol intake is not directly related to cholesterol levels. The problem is apparently caused by chlorine reacting with the cholesterol and causing it to coagulate on the walls of the arteries, forming plaque. The sources of chlorine are many, but the major ones are the drinking water supply and the salt in food. We have been told to lower our intake of sodium, but chlorine seems to be a worse culprit, especially in atherosclerosis, heart disease and high blood pressure. When ozone is ingested over time, it scours out the arteries by oxidizing the plaque, cleaning the system so blood can flow properly. Ozone also reduces the clumping of red blood cells, enabling them to pick up oxygen in the lungs, and increasing their flexibility, which is crucial to microcirculation through the fine capillaries.

OZONE FOR PREVENTION

Ozone is a powerful therapeutic tool for curing disease, but it is equally important for PREVENTION of disease.

The hundreds of different diseases named by allopathy are but symptoms of one underlying cause. That cause, as proven by two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg, is hypoxia, or oxygen starvation at teh cellular level. This is the cause of degenerative disease (arthritis, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatism, cancer, etc.).

Ozone both treats and prevents most communicable disease as well (mumps, measles, influenza, cholera, tropical fevers, etc.)

Regular use of ozone in the home can provide high levels of immunity from most common diseases, and relagate immunization to the dustbin of history. Our present allopathic health system is disintegrating under financial stress, and it can easily ge replaced by prevention through use of ozone, supplemented by ozone injection for serious cases, and emergency room hospitals for accident victims.

This system will be far less expensive than our present system, where 95% of our health dollar is spent in the last year of life, trying to undo a lifetime of toxic buildup.
