Diet and supplements can reverse this plaque of atherosclerosis over a period of time.  When heavy deposits have accumulated and are a serious threat, alternative heart doctors often recommend chelation. What is chelation?  It is a mild organic acid, in the blood stream called EDTA. What this acid does is bind to the plaque ingredients, especially the calcium, cholesterol and any heavy metals.  These compound are then excreted through the kidneys into the urine.

Two time Nobel prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling recommends this therapy for atherosclerosis even though it is often ignored by many doctors. Drug companies would like you to think that expensive heart drugs are the answer to atherosclerosis but simple chelation can produce dramatic results in reducing arterial plaque. While oral chelation is not as rapid in elimination of the arterial plaque as is the intravenous, it is nonetheless effective over several months of treatment at much less cost.

Intravenous administration of EDTA has a better record of more rapid and effective chelation therapy than oral administration. Either way you should consult a medical doctor who is familiar with chelation and able to supervise the administration of it…Denis Van Loan, D.D.S.

Arteriosclerosis occurs where the linings of arteries accumulate plaque that consists of LDL cholesterol, calcium, heavy metals and other contaminants. A number of studies show that arteriosclerosis can be reduced by chelation. Chelation usually involves use of a mild acid, EDTA (ethylene diamine-tetra-acidic acid). Oral chelation has shown some success, but the most effective chelation is the intra-veinous injection of EDTA, under the supervision of a medical doctor.

The lack of oxygen to heart muscle often produces a condition called angina pectoris, causing chest pain. This occurs when there is physical exertion and the needed oxygen supply to heart muscle is inadequate. The shrunken lumen of the artery does not allow enough blood flow. It is considered a warning sign of heart disease. Complete blockage of coronary arteries or cerebral arteries can cause life a threatening heart attack or stroke…Denis Van Loan D.D.S.
