Atherosclerosis is the chief cause of death and disability in the United States today.
Every 20 seconds a person in the United States has a heart attack, and one third of these attacks leads to death.
"I routinely recommend taking oral chelation daily forever, as soon as you can begin to swallow a well-formulated product,"
Garry Gordon, M.D.
Chelation therapy can help reverse atherosclerosis, prevent heart attacks and strokes, and is used as an alternative to bypass surgery and angioplasty.
"The mixture of calcium, fat, cholesterol and scar tissue from previous injuries [to artery linings] hardens into atherosclerotic plaque, preventing blood flow."
Hitendra H.Shah, M.D., co-author of Everything You Should Know About Chelation Therapy (Keats, 1997).
Even if you eat well, exercise and live a healthy lifestyle, your arteries will inevitably "harden" over the course of a lifetime.
"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,"
Maile Pouls, Ph.D. Townsend Letter, 1999
In today's industrial society, there is no escaping exposure to toxic chemicals and metals.
"Free radical attack is one of the main causes of atherosclerosis and premature aging."
-- (Walker, Morton M.D.; Shah, Hitendra, M.D. Everything You Should Know About Chelation Therapy)
"EDTA chelation therapy makes good sense to me as a chemist and medical researcher. It has a rational scientific basis and the evidence for clinical benefit seems strong."
Linus Pauling, nobel prize winner (Harold & Arline Brecher, Forty Something Forever: A consumer's guide to chelation therapy)
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!

Oral ChelationThis Safe and Natural Treatment Actually Dissolves Plaque Throughout Your Entire Circulatory System and Reverses AtherosclerosisDear 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.
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 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. Then, we discovered a unique combination of safe, proven ingredients that actually clears the plaquea sticky mixture of cholesterol, heavy metals, calcium deposit and blood cellsfrom your arteries. The result is CardioClearthe most effective nutritional supplement for your heart, arteries and memory. Think of it this way: It's important to service your car regularly in order to prolong its longevity. You change the oil and filter every 3000 miles so the pipes don't get clogged and corroded and so the engine runs smoothly. Doesn't it make sense to clear out your arteries so they don't get clogged and hardened with plaque? Because if you don't, chances are you'll be joining the millions of Americans who suffer from atherosclerosiswhich eventually leads to a long list of diseases including heart disease, stroke and dementia. It's too late for Tom. But it's never too lateor earlyfor you and your loved ones to protect your health and your arteries from the number one killer in our modern worldcardiovascular disease. So it is with some urgency that I draw your attention to the article that follows. Please read it! And then, take advantage of our special offer. Buy two bottles of CardioClear or sign up for our Healthy For Life Automatic Shipment Plan and receivefreea copy of Dr. Art Pressor's new book, the Pharmacist's Guide to Medicinal Herbs. It may just be the best thing you can do for yourself and your cardiovascular system. Yours in Good Health,
Dale Fowkes, CEO, Health Freedom Nutrition *name has been changed Article by John Morgenthaler Undoubtedly you, like Dale Fowkes who wrote the letter above, know someone who's been affected by cardiovascular disease or impaired circulation. Maybe your own health has suffered from restricted blood flow. It wouldn't be surprising. Atherosclerosis is the chief cause of death and disability in the United States today. It affects close to 60 million Americans and every year more than a million people suffer from new or recurrent heart attacks. In fact, every 20 seconds a person in the United States has a heart attack, and one third of these attacks leads to death. In addition, 50 percent of Americans have levels of cholesterol that place them at high risk of coronary artery disease. But cholesterol is only one factor that leads to atherosclerosis.1 What if there were a way to reverse atherosclerosis, not just hope to prevent it by living a life of eating dull food and other drudgery? Well, there may be, and it's even better than you might think safe, effective, well researched and supported by many forward-thinking doctors (as you will see) and, to top it off, inexpensive. It is called "Oral chelation" and it can help you reverse atherosclerosis, lower cholesterol levels, and prevent heart attacks and strokes. And the amazing thing is it's used as an alternative to bypass surgery and angioplasty. Its main ingredient, EDTA, can be delivered either intravenously or orally. Both methods of delivery show very impressive results, but oral chelation is done without a doctor's intervention and is much less costly. 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.2 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. 3 What exactly is atherosclerosis?Atherosclerosis develops when the inner arterial walls harden and thicken due to deposits of calcium, heavy metals and other nonsoluble substances. These substances form a plaque, which in turn causes a narrowing of the arteries. 4 Eventually, plaque build-up can block the arteries and restrict blood flow to the organs, including the brain and heart.This concise definition of atherosclerosis comes from Bruce W. Halstead, M.D., author of The Scientific Basis of EDTA Chelation Therapy, (Golden Quill Publishers, Inc.). In his definitive book, Dr. Halstead explains how chelation therapy pulls calcium and heavy metals out of plaque deposits, causing them to literally dissolve. The end result? Your entire circulatory system is rejuvenated and able to perform all the vital functions of delivering blood, oxygen and nutrients to every tissue of your body more efficiently. Where does atherosclerosis occur in the body?Contrary to popular belief, however, atherosclerosis isn't restricted to the coronary and cerebral arteries. It is a systemic disease found throughout the entire body, including the lungs, kidneys and legs, which is why some people with atherosclerosis experience aneurysms, pain and cramping in the legs, macular degeneration, numbness, etc. 5Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is called coronary heart disease. Chest pain (angina) is one of the first symptoms people experience. When the plaque build-up is so severe that the heart is deprived of oxygen-rich blood, a heart attack occurs. Even though a heart attack comes on suddenly, coronary heart disease is the result of many years of eating poorly, not getting enough exercise and sometimes just from genetic predisposition. 6 When atherosclerosis affects the cerebral arteriesthe arteries that supply blood to the brainmemory may be affected, or blood flow to the brain may be restricted, resulting in stroke, the third leading cause of death in the United States.7

To whom it may concern, My wife and I have been taking your product "Cardio Clear" for about three weeks and I would like to thank you for making it available. About a year ago I had a heart attack and a double by-pass. Since taking Cardio Clear my blood pressure has dropped 10 to 15 points, I have lost about 5 lbs in weight, the numbness in my fingers and toes has almost disappeared, and my energy level has at least tripled. I have not felt this good in more than 5 years, and I want to again thank you for this product, please tell the public, that it "really works". I have told my friends and relatives, if you want a better life, try the product, and see that it does the job it is supposed too, and much more. Best wishes, Paul T. Cromwell Big Bear Lake, CA 92315 The typical life of an arteryEven if you eat well, exercise and live a healthy lifestyle, your arteries will inevitably develop atherosclerosis over the course of a lifetime.Here's what typically happens. Young arteries are flexible and supple, but even in your first ten years of life small deposits of cholesterol and fat molecules (lipids) appear as fatty streaks. This occurs naturally, regardless of what you eat. By the time you're 30 years old, your arteries have been subjected to continuous trauma from high blood pressure events, viral and bacterial assault, and biochemical and free radical attack. As a result, the interior lining of the arteries becomes more damaged, and the fatty streaks become more prolific, making the arteries less flexible. As you approach your 40's and 50's, more damage to arterial linings has occurred and more plaque has formed. As atherosclerosis progresses, these calcified plaques multiply and blood flow is restricted. This ultimately sets the stage for the diseases that result from atherosclerosis. 8,9 Besides the arteries, calcium is also deposited in the joints, kidneys and even around the bones of the inner ear, where it can affect hearing acuity. Luckily, EDTA dissolves "metastatic" calcium calcium deposited where it doesn't't belong. 10 Oral chelation dissolves plaque from your entire circulatory systemWithout using some form of chelation therapy, some atherosclerosis is inevitable even with the healthiest lifestyle. A healthy diet and exercise certainly help (see "Tips for total cardiovascular health"), but they won't be enough to stop or reverse atherosclerosis, especially if you have a genetic predisposition for cardiovascular disease.However, you don't have to live in fear of having a heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure or aneurysm! Now there's an easy way to dissolve plaque throughout your entire circulatory system, and clear your arteries of harmful cholesterol, metabolic waste and toxins. It's called oral chelation therapy, and it's done simply by taking CardioCleara nutritional supplementby mouth, the same way you take a multivitamin. As Dale Fowkes mentioned in his letter, a team of scientists helped Health Freedom Nutrition formulate CardioClear so that you can:
The long-term results are that you'll feel confident about your future knowing that you can:
CardioClear gives you vibrant, overall health by cleansing even the tiniest blood vessels in your body
"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" Oral chelation also removes heavy metals, supports normal cholesterol levels, and reduces blood platelet "stickiness," which contributes to plaque formation.11 And there's plenty of research to back it up. It's also been proven to protect cell membranes, DNA, enzyme systems and lipoproteins by counteracting the destructive effects of free radicals.12,13,14 EDTA also eases blood vessel disease by helping the cells lining the arterial walls to relax. That, in turn, opens the blood vessels and improves circulation. Garry Gordon, M.D., D.O., world-renowned expert on chelation therapy, author of the original protocol for the safe use of EDTA and co-author of The Chelation Answer (M. Evans and Company, 1982), 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."15
After a couple of weeks on the Cardio Clear I found myself walking faster
which was a bit of a surprise, as it was unexpected. A short time later I caught myself "hippety-hopping" up the stairs. So, I'm convinced that I am making progress with the EDTA Chelation.
Almost forgot noticed that my sense of balance was improved, also. Best regards, Bill Martin Our Toxic EnvironmentWe're continuously bombarded with toxic chemicals and metals. Even vaccines routinely contain a preservative called Thimerosal, (Lyn Redwood, RN, MSN, CRNP, "Mercury and Autism: The growing Crisis of Mercury in Children's Vaccines," Vitamin Research News, May 2001, Vol. 15, # 5) which is made up, in part, from mercury! This is so significant that a typical six-month-old infant has often been exposed to their lifetime EPA quota of mercury! So you really can't escape exposure to heavy metal toxins"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 "How 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. 16 And symptoms of heavy metal exposure can include a wide range of problems from neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, to excessive free radical production and dangerous blockages in the arteries. If you have lived your life in western civilization, you can assume you already have some degree of heavy metal exposure even if you are not overtly sick from it. According to Dr. Garry 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. I routinely recommend taking oral chelation daily forever, as soon as you can begin to swallow a well formulated product," says Dr. Gordon. ("Chelation Therapy," The CLINICAL Practice of Alternative Medicine, Official Journal of ACAM, Innovision Communication, vol 2 # 1 Spring 2001, Encinitas Calif ). You owe it to yourself to start on CardioClear today. And since you care about the health of your friends and loved ones, you might consider encouraging them to detoxify their arteries, too. Oral Chelation pulls toxic heavy metals out of your bodyToxic heavy metals contribute to dangerous blockages in the arteries and cause excessive free radical production. But CardioClear is a key to eliminating the symptoms attributed to the hundreds of environmental toxins we're exposed to everyday! Besides removing plaque build-up, EDTA is well documented for its ability to safely remove many heavy metal toxins, including mercury from the circulatory system.17 In fact, EDTA chelation 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. 18How does EDTA work?When a molecule of EDTA gets near a toxic mineral, such as lead or mercury, it grasps the destructive particle and binds tightly with it, pulling it out of the membrane or body tissue it was embedded in.In the case of calcium-containing plaques, EDTA pulls the calcium out of the plaque deposit, destroying its structural integrity and, as a result, the plaque deposit is dissolved. EDTA also binds with metastatic calcium throughout the body. (Metastatic calcium is a calcium build-up such as in the joints, the bones of the ear, etc. that interferes with normal function.) Since EDTA is an artificial amino acid, and since the body regards it as a foreign substance, the body eliminates the entire particlethe 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 excreted by the kidneys.19 CardioClear is a powerful antioxidant and helps prevent the damage that leads to plaque build-upBesides removing heavy metals, reducing platelet stickiness and relaxing the lining of arteries, EDTA also reduces the destructive effects of free radicals. You've heard the term before, but what exactly are free radicals? Free radicals are oxygen-based 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 release of adrenaline. But free radicals also come from environmental sources such as 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 and is recognized as the underlying source of atherosclerosis. Eventually the build-up of fat, cholesterol, toxic metals and other substances at the site of injury creates plaque, which narrows the arteries. The key is to neutralize free radicals from damaging your arteries and that's done with antioxidants.
I started out by taking two capsules every morning. After about two weeks I began to notice a change, I was not as tired as I used to be. It was like the energy was coming back to me once again. My urge for coffee has also decreased a lot since I started taking CardioClear. CardioClear actually works!
Thanks, Morten Bergmann, Norway Antioxidants repair oxidative damageAntioxidants are the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, or other chemical compounds such as EDTAthat give up an electron to stop free radicals from causing oxidation. They play a key role in neutralizing the estimated 10,000 "oxidative hits" each cell suffers a day. In other words, antioxidants are able to destroy free radicals in cells before they can attack DNA or cause lipids to oxidize.CardioClear has been shown to be a powerful antioxidant that destroys free radicalsthe culprits of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and some types of cancer. CardioClear powerfully enhances the energy production systems inside every cell in your bodyEnergy is produced inside the mitochondriathe 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. 20 Unfortunately, mitochondrial function slows down with aging, partly because of the kind of oxidative damage we spoke of earlier. 21 But EDTA energizes the life force in every cell in your body by charging your mitochondriawhich 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 of the basic fuel for lifeATP.What's in CardioClear?
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:
Minerals are ImportantIt's always important to supplement your diet with a good mineral supplement because: 1) physical or emotional stress causes a drain on the body's resource of minerals, and a mineral deficiency can result in illness. 2) According to the 1992 Earth Summit Report, America's soil has suffered an 85% mineral depletion in the last 100 years, which means we're only getting a fraction of the minerals we need from our food.But it's especially important to take a mineral supplement when you're doing chelation therapy. Since EDTA is so effective at clearing debris from the arteries, it may result in the depletion of certain elements, as well. That's why it's recommended you take a broad-spectrum mineral supplement when using CardioClear such as Mineral Basics from Health Freedom Nutrition. You'll take the minerals and the CardioClear at different times of day: Minerals should be taken with meals, and the CardioClear should be taken in between meals on an empty stomach or at night before bed. Frequently Asked QuestionsIs oral chelation as effective as intravenous chelation?The effects are less dramatic and slower, but oral chelation has several major advantages over intravenous chelation, including: 1) convenienceit doesn't require a physician's supervision, 2) low-costit doesn't require expensive blood tests, 3) independence it can be used as a long-term, self-care maintenance program. 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. Who is CardioClear safe for? CardioClear is safe for most people, but should not be used during pregnancy, severe kidney failure or hypoparathyroidism . If you are taking a prescribed medication, check with your health practitioner before taking CardioClear. How is CardioClear different from other oral chelation products? CardioClear is a unique blend of powerful chelators designed to remove plaque, toxins and heavy metals by using 250% more EDTA per capsule than other leading brands! And 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.
