EDTA Chelation

The Most Effective Treatment for Preventing Cardiovascular Disease … Just Got a Surprising New Explanation for its Effectiveness

Article by John Morgenthaler

Undoubtedly, you know someone who's had a heart attack or stroke. Or maybe your own health has suffered from restricted blood flow. It wouldn't be surprising.

According to American Heart Association President Lynn Smaha, MD, PhD, cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death for both men and women. And stroke, which is the third leading killer, is also a leading cause of major disability.

Which means, on average, three Americans suffer a heart attack every minute of every day, totaling well over a million heart attacks each year. Millions of other people suffer from strokes, high blood pressure or related conditions.

What if there was a way to reverse the damage of cardiovascular disease by reducing cholesterol and blood viscosity, increasing flexibility in the blood vessels, and removing toxins? Well, there is, and it's even better than you might think … safe, effective, well researched, and—to top it off—inexpensive.

In next weeks issue of Smart Publications Update, we'll be proud to feature Garry F. Gordon, MD, DO, the father of modern chelation therapy, in a question and answer section on how oral chelation is an important safety precaution for everyone who wants to take control of their health and longevity. You'll learn how Dr. Gordon has helped more than one million people avoid bypass surgery, and why heavy metal toxicity is one of the root causes of cardiovascular disease and many of the other diseases that plague modern man.

Most importantly, you'll learn Dr. Gordon's latest thinking on how oral chelation can provide the blood itself with the nutrients and other factors that will restore it to health and cut down your risk of cardiovascular disease.

"I firmly believe that an oral chelation program can do more for your overall longevity than you can do even with the most prudent lifestyle possible because of the continuous nutritional protection chelation offers against a stressful and polluted world." —

Garry Gordon, MD, DO

Oral chelation is cheap, available, easy… and you don't need the supervision of a doctor

Chelation therapy is not new. It's been around for a long time. EDTA—chelation's main ingredient, a synthetic amino acid, very similar to four molecules of vinegar—was synthesized in Germany in 1935. It was used during WWII for detoxifying lead from the men who worked in battery factories or painted ships with lead-based paints. Thirty years ago, Dr. Garry Gordon established the first intravenous chelation protocol. And today, EDTA is the standard FDA approved treatment for lead, mercury, aluminum and cadmium poisoning. The American Heart Association also recognizes chelation therapy as a treatment for heavy metal poisoning. 1

What is new is this: Thanks to medical pioneers like Garry Gordon MD, DO, we now know that oral chelation therapy can help treat heart disease.

How does oral chelation work?

Chelation comes from the Greek word "claw," meaning "to grab," which is exactly what EDTA does. When a molecule of EDTA travels through the bloodstream and gets near a toxic metal such as lead or mercury, it grabs the destructive particle and binds tightly with it, pulling it out of the membrane or body tissue it was embedded in.

Since EDTA is an artificial amino acid, and since the body regards it as a foreign substance, the body eliminates the entire particle—the heavy particle coated with EDTA. The body can't tell that underneath the coating is some harmful material that it might be willing to keep even though it is harmful. Ultimately, both the EDTA and the toxic substance are delivered to the kidneys, which excrete them in the urine. 2

Oral chelation:
  • provides a safe, effective, and more convenient method than IV chelation , for gaining the benefits of EDTA.

  • supports normal endothelial function, which is vital to a healthy cardiovascular system. (The endothelium is a saran-wrap-like lining inside the 7,000 miles of blood vessels in your body.) For a detailed discussion see the section "What does nitric oxide have to do with preventing heart attack and stroke?"

  • prevents the production of free radicals that cause cellular damage in the blood, cells and organs throughout the body.

EDTA is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent premature aging

EDTA has been proven to protect cell membranes, DNA and enzyme systems by reducing the destructive effects of free radicals. 3, 4, 5

You've heard the term before, but what exactly are free radicals? Free radicals are reactive molecules that are unstable because they are missing an electron. In an effort to replace their lost electron, they frantically bump into and damage the molecules that make up the cells in your body. In the process, they cause oxidation of body tissues.

It's impossible to be alive and not have some oxidative damage, because free radicals are produced by normal processes in the body, such as the production of energy and immune function. Free radicals also come from environmental sources including heavy metals, household chemicals, ultraviolet radiation, tobacco smoke, food additives, foods that have been fried in oil that's been used over and over again (typical in many fast-food restaurants), and other pollutants. Once free radicals are released, they will multiply exponentially in chain reactions, unless they are stopped by antioxidants.

When a free radical comes in contact with the inner lining of your arteries, microscopic injuries result. This process is called lipid peroxidation (the process that causes fats to become rancid) and is recognized as one of the underlying causes of atherosclerosis. Eventually the build-up of fat, cholesterol, toxic metals and other substances at the site of injury narrows the arteries. The key is to neutralize free radicals before they damage your arteries … and that's done with antioxidants.

Stop free radicals before they attack

Antioxidants are the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, or other chemical compounds— such as EDTA—that give up an electron to stop the production of free radicals. And EDTA actually reduces free radicals even before they have a chance to get started. Here's how: When metals, minerals and other toxins are in the body, they act as the catalyst for oxidation reactions, including lipid peroxidation. This triggers the production of free radicals.

But when EDTA is in the blood, it removes the metals and minerals before they get a chance to catalyze, or start the oxidation reactions. The result? The production of free radicals is dramatically reduced and their destructive influence is prevented — which means DNA and cells stay healthy — so YOU stay healthier and live longer!

EDTA removes toxins …
So you can maintain a healthy body in an unhealthy world.

Our bodies continuously struggle to get rid of the chemicals we ingest through water, food and air. Many of the chemicals we're exposed to on a daily basis didn't exist twenty-five years ago. Even vaccines routinely contain a preservative called Thimerosal, which is made up, in part, from mercury! 6 Hard to believe but the average six-month-old infant has already been exposed to his/her lifetime EPA quota of mercury!

"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). In addition to the chemical hazards at home and outdoors (see "10 Ways To Protect Yourself From Environmental Toxicity"), many occupations involve daily, heavy metal exposure.

More than 50 professions entail exposure to mercury alone. If you are a physician, pharmaceutical worker, laboratory worker, hairdresser, painter, printer, welder, metalworker, cosmetic worker, battery maker, engraver, photographer, visual artist, potter or involved in any dental occupation, you are exposed to heavy metals on a daily basis. 7

But lead toxicity has been around for a long time. Greek physicians gave a clinical description of lead poisoning in 100 BC. US medical authorities diagnosed childhood lead poisoning in 1887. Leaded gasoline went on sale in select markets in 1923. And in 1932, the British Medical Journal cited lead poisoning as "slow, subtle insidious saturation of the system by infinitesimal doses of lead extending over a long period of time." 8

Dr. Claire Patterson of the California Institute of Technology did a study in 1965 called "Contaminated and Natural Lead Environments of Man," which offered first hand proof that high lead levels in industrial nations are man-made and endemic. In fact, the study showed that the average bone lead level of a deceased person today averages approximately 1000 times higher than that of deceased people who lived 400-500 years ago.

According to Dr. Gordon, "Claire Patterson went to the Arctic and the Antarctic, drilled into the icecaps and discovered that lead got into our environment during the Industrial Age. It was creeping up fairly slowly for the first several hundred years and then, to make matters worse, Ethyl Corporation put lead into the gasoline." Dr. Patterson used radioactive carbon testing of plugs of snow and ice to show the increased levels of lead in every drop of snow and rain around the world, added Dr. Gordon.

Luckily, Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970 and the primary phaseout of leaded gas in the US was completed in 1986. The Environmental Protection Agency says that the control of lead exposure in the US is now focused on risk reduction from drinking water, lead-based paint, household dust and contaminated soil.

Unfortunately, however, there are significant amounts of lead deposits in the soil near heavily trafficked highways and in urban areas, which can become airborne at times. It may enter dwellings via windows and doors, and contaminated soil can also be tracked inside.

"The good news is that blood lead levels continue to decline among children overall," said Eric Sampson, PhD, of the (CDC) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Environmental Laboratory. "However, other data show that children living in environments placing them at high risk for lead exposure remain a major public health concern."

As you can see, unless you live in a glass bubble, you can't escape exposure to heavy metal toxins.

Toxins in the air we breathe

Everybody is subjected to toxic exposure from a wide variety of pollutants in the air they breathe, including:
  • Carbon monoxide and lead from fuel exhaust (As stated above, most of the lead has been reduced in the United States, but it is still found elsewhere.)

  • Hydrocarbon pollutants from industrial waste

  • By-products from the burning of fossil fuels

  • Radiation leakage from nuclear power plants and radon in the home
We're also exposed to:
  • Contaminants found in tap water, including lead, cadmium, industrial chemicals, pesticides, and other farm chemicals that have seeped through the soil to contaminate the water table

Toxicity results in health problems

Symptoms of heavy metal exposure can include a wide range of problems from neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, to attention deficit disorders and learning disabilities … to excessive free radical production and dangerous blockages in the arteries, which lead to cardiovascular disease. Even the rise in fatigue disorders, cancers and autoimmune diseases could be related to a toxic burden of heavy metals in the body.

Anyone reading this can assume that you already have some degree of heavy metal exposure, even if you don't have overt symptoms. You won't necessarily wake up one morning with a specific illness. But slowly over time, you may lose your energy, feel more aches and pains in your muscles and joints, or notice that your mental clarity and memory have diminished. And rather than blame all these symptoms on aging, researchers are discovering that many modern illnesses are due to an accumulation of toxic substances and free radicals in our cells and tissues. To add injury to insult, even a low level of lead or mercury toxicity can have a far more adverse effect in a poorly nourished body.

Now there's proof that heavy metal overload has a direct correlation to heart disease and stroke. According to Dr. Gordon, "Congestive heart failure patients have recently been reported to have 22,000 times more mercury and 14,000 times more antimony in their hearts. We all get too much mercury, both from our silver amalgam fillings and even from the fish we eat."

But you can take control of the situation and remove toxins safely, effectively and efficiently.
Keep reading to find out how.

The bottom line is this:
Heavy metals prevent the optimal production of nitric oxide, which is crucial to cardiovascular and overall health.

The key is to remove heavy metal build-up with oral chelation

What does nitric oxide have to do with preventing heart attack and stroke? Plenty! Inside your body nitric oxide is produced by endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, and acts as a messenger molecule by telling the blood vessels when to relax and expand. When adequate nitric oxide is produced, it causes the release of an "endothelial relaxing factor," which is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat. This helps regulate blood flow and pressure, so that oxygen-carrying blood is delivered to your tissues and organs. 9, 10

"Nitric oxide causes all of the capillaries and little blood vessels to relax and go to their biggest open position," says Dr. Gordon. This allows unrestricted blood flow.

But if the endothelial cells contain lead or other heavy metals, nitric oxide production is impaired, resulting in endothelial dysfunction, or the inability of the arterial system to expand and contract. This is a major cause of hypertension and has also been linked to high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, diabetes, blood clots, infection, and heart failure. 11 In this case, "the capillaries and blood vessels are in a half-closed or tightly-closed position, as you'd find in someone with high blood pressure, or someone who is in a state of fear and panic with ice cold hands," says Dr. Gordon.

Fortunately, "EDTA and the way I use it in oral chelation, gets the lead out of the endothelial cells so they feel good again and can do their job, which is to produce nitric oxide," he adds.

Endothelial cells both produce and respond to nitric oxide in a self-regulating way, something like this. Say you have a garden hose with a sprayer attached to it. When you squeeze the handle, pressure is released within the hose as the water flows. As you release the sprayer, pressure builds and the hose swells.

Nitric oxide acts in a similar way. Think of it as the handle on the garden hose, or as a messenger regulating the pressure and flow of the blood inside the capillaries and blood vessels. When nitric oxide is produced inside the endothelium, it rapidly spreads through the cell membranes to the underlying muscle cells. Their contraction is turned off by nitric oxide, resulting in a dilation of the arteries. This is how nitric oxide controls the blood pressure and its distribution.

Nitric oxide also helps prevent blood clots because it prevents blood aggregation or platelets from being excessively sticky. "When platelets are not sticky they can go single file through capillaries," says Dr. Gordon. "When they're stuck together there's a whole bunch of platelets trying to get through a capillary at once." That's when we get into trouble with restricted blood circulation and the formation of blood clots.

"We now have a solid and defensible explanation for circulation benefits merely by removing toxic heavy metals, and so we must carefully consider all options for our patients, including oral chelation," he says.

Oral chelation reduces cholesterol

Millions of dollars are spent each year on cholesterol-lowering drugs. Oral chelation takes care of that, too, without the added risk of taking a drug with potential side effects.

One study, in which ten patients took one gram of EDTA for three months, indicated that seven patients had reduced cholesterol levels and all ten had lowered blood pressure. One of the patients who had been experiencing painful leg cramps reported greater ease in exercising. The same patient's total cholesterol dropped from 278 mg to 128 mg per 100 ml! Also, four of the patients reported relief from chest pain. 12

In another three-month study, 20 patients who took one gram of EDTA per day experienced lowered cholesterol and relief from chest pain. None of the patients experienced any adverse effects. 13

Dr.Gordon has consistently observed a reduction of serum cholesterol by an average of twenty percent or more in his patients who use oral chelation. "The thousands of patients who visit my clinic each year and follow our recommended oral chelation program have all successfully avoided strokes. Heart attack rates were also greatly diminished," he says. "We've never had more than two heart attacks per year among all of our patients, even among those with a history of severe heart disease. I firmly believe that an oral chelation program can do more for your overall longevity than you can do even with the most prudent lifestyle possible because of the continuous nutritional protection chelation offers against a stressful and polluted world." 14

CardioClear™ — the alternative to bypass surgery and angioplasty

We often hear of cardiovascular disease, but we rarely hear about cardiovascular health. Now, you can finally start focusing on supporting your heart health, without living in fear of having a heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure or aneurysm! There's an easy, inexpensive way to clear your blood vessels of harmful cholesterol, metabolic waste and toxins, and insure normal blood flood throughout your entire circulatory system. It's done simply by taking CardioClear—a nutritional supplement—by mouth, the same way you take a multivitamin.

CardioClear provides you with the nutrients your body needs to maintain healthy blood and a healthy heart

As Dale Fowkes mentions in his letter (see bottom of page), a team of scientists helped Health Freedom Nutrition formulate CardioClear so that you can:
  • experience more energy and dynamism

  • live your life free from chest pain and leg cramping

  • enjoy normalized blood pressure, cholesterol levels and increased blood flow through your arteries
The short-term results are obvious … because you'll feel them usually within 30 days.

The long-term results are that you'll feel confident about your future knowing that you can:
  • avoid the ravages of cardiovascular disease

  • be there for your family, friends and co-workers

  • continue being active and productive …so you can enjoy life to the fullest, today and tomorrow.
EDTA has been shown to:
  • support your body's production of endothelium-derived nitric oxide

  • cleanse heavy metals and harmful calcium deposits throughout your body and blood vessels

  • reduce risk of heart attack and stroke by thinning the blood and preventing the formation of blood clots

  • improve blood circulation

  • encourage dilation of the blood vessels

  • help normalize blood pressure and cholesterol levels

  • stop free radicals before they are produced—a major cause of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer's disease

  • increase your energy

  • improve memory and mental clarity

  • relieve leg pain and cramping

CardioClear powerfully enhances the energy production systems inside every cell in your body

Energy is produced inside the mitochondria—the energy centers in every cell in your body. The mitochondria produce ATP from the food you eat and ATP is the universal energy fuel that every cells runs off. 15 Unfortunately, mitochondrial function slows down with aging, partly because of the kind of oxidative damage we spoke of earlier. 16 But EDTA energizes the life force in every cell by charging your mitochondria —which is why CardioClear is important as a nutritional supplement, and not just an oral chelation supplement. With CardioClear you will feel more energy, your heart muscles will have more energy to do their job and your brain's metobolism will be enhanced … every organ system will be provided with more ATP —the basic fuel for life.

You owe it to yourself to start on Oral Chelation today. And since you care about the health of your friends and loved ones, you might consider encouraging them to detoxify their arteries, too.

Within 30 days you'll begin to feel the powerful healing effects on your heart, arteries, memory and mental clarity.

What's in CardioClear?

  • EDTA (calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a synthetic amino acid, which closely resembles four molecules of vinegar. EDTA is never broken down in your body. It goes in and comes out as EDTA, attaching to metals and minerals, forming a bond called a chelate (from the Greek word for claw).

  • Garlic Extract also has anti-blood clotting properties, like EDTA. 17 Plus, by itself, garlic is an excellent chelator of metals such as lead and mercury, says Dr. Gordon. "Now, if you add EDTA to it, you get more removal of lead, but you also enhance the garlic's anti-platelet (anti-blood-clotting) activity. Through this combined action, since EDTA binds with the calcium that is required for blood to clot, you can protect yourself far more effectively against a blood clot, even more so than any aspirin dose you might take." CardioClear contains odor-reduced garlic so you don't get garlic breath.

  • Malic Acid is a weak, organic acid found in apples. All weak acids are natural chelators. Together with EDTA, malic acid powerfully enhances the energy systems throughout the whole body, including the heart and brain. *(see "CardioClear powerfully enhances the energy production systems inside every cell in your body.") Malic acid together with EDTA powerfully boosts mitochondrial function. 18 Malic Acid also appears effective in treating aluminum toxicity in laboratory animals. 19

  • Parsley is a rich source of the green plant pigment chlorophyll, which is a powerful breath freshener. It neutralizes the odor of garlic in CardioClear, so you can be self-assured that you don't have "garlic breath."

How will CardioClear make me feel?

Since CardioClear dissolves debris in the arteries, blood flow is unrestricted. And when blood flows normally throughout the body, oxygen and other vital nutrients flow through the arteries unrestricted, as well … so you'll experience:
  • freedom from fatigue and shortness of breath

  • more energy

  • relief from leg pain and cramping

  • improved mental clarity, alertness and memory

  • lessening of, or freedom from angina (chest pain and tightness)

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is CardioClear safe for?

CardioClear is very safe, even for children. However, it should not be used if you are pregnant or suffer from kidney failure or hypoparathyroidism.

What does it mean when a mineral supplement or amino-acid complex is "chelated"?

Chelated minerals are powerful nutrients that are comprised of a mineral bonded with a substance such as an amino acid, ascorbic acid or aspartic acid. A chemical conversion takes place between the minerals and the substance that helps the body absorb and utilize the nutrients more easily. Chelated minerals are NOT chelating agents in the body. In other words, they will not remove other substances from your body.

How is CardioClear different from other oral chelation products?

Dr. Garry Gordon thinks an effective therapeutic dose of EDTA in products ought to be at least 500 mg. CardioClear contains 500 mg. of EDTA, 250% more EDTA per 2-capsule serving than other leading brands! In addition, Health Freedom Nutrition has added reduced-odor garlic, combined with parsley to minimize potential garlic breath associated with most garlic-containing chelation formulas. CardioClear is simply the most effective and convenient oral chelation supplement on the market.

How long should I take CardioClear?

CardioClear will continue to boost your health by protecting and supporting your heart and circulation for as long as you take it. And since your arteries are your lifeline, protecting them is a lifetime commitment. In other words, one bottle of CardioClear is a great start, but if you really want to see improvement in your vascular health and continue to maintain your health, we recommend that you sign up for the Healthy For Life Automatic Reorder Plan. You'll automatically receive a fresh bottle of CardioClear every month without the hassle of reordering or running out. Your credit card will be charged automatically, so there's no lag time … no reordering hassle … and NO PRICE INCREASE. You'll also save 10% off every bottle of CardioClear.

Dear Friend,

Fifteen years ago, while I was working at Vitamin Research Products, I witnessed something that changed my life. I was young, on top of the world, and felt like I was going to live forever. I got along well with my colleagues, especially my sales rep Tom.* Tom was 35 years old, looked extremely healthy, and was quite active … until the day he dropped dead of a heart attack. (* This name has been changed.)

I was shocked, as well as everyone else who knew Tom. This man was the same age as my older brother. I couldn't understand how someone who appeared so vibrant could just keel over and die!

Well, Tom's death was a definite wake-up call for me to get serious about my own health. I started taking the nutritional supplements I was manufacturing. And then I realized that supporting the health of my family and friends would be the greatest gift I could ever give them.

That's why I helped formulate CardioClear.

First, I put together a team of the most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in the field of cardiovascular medicine. We discovered that, contrary to popular belief, blood levels of heavy toxic metals was one of the primary causes of cardiovascular disease — high cholesterol being only a secondary symptom. Then, we put together a unique combination of safe, proven ingredients that removes heavy metals, which leads to healthy blood pressure, blood viscosity, platelet stickiness, and normal cholesterol. The end result is CardioClear—the most effective nutritional supplement for maintaining healthy blood … and helping the blood vessels and capillaries relax, in order to facilitate blood flow.

Think of it this way: You service your car in order to prolong its longevity. You change the oil and filter regularly, so the pipes don't get corroded and the engine runs smoothly. Doesn't it make sense to keep your blood clean, so it supports the flexibility of the 7,000 miles of vascular pipes in your body? Because if you don't, chances are you'll be joining the millions of Americans who suffer from cardiovascular disease—which eventually leads to a long list of diseases including heart attack, stroke and dementia.

It's too late for Tom. But it's never too late—or early—for you and your loved ones to protect your health and arteries from the number one killer in our modern world —cardiovascular disease.

So take advantage of our special offer.

Place your order now, for more than $80 in any combination of products, and receive—free—one of the gifts on the back cover of this newsletter. It may just be the best thing you can do for yourself and your cardiovascular system.
