Chelation Therapy – Your Solution To High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure has two measurements – systolic, which is pressure of blood against artery walls when the heart pumps, and diastolic, which is pressure when the heart is at rest. When blood pressure is higher than–0/90 that is considered high blood pressure or hypertension. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 or lower. High blood pressure occurs because the flow of blood encounters resistance in the arteries.

If blood pressure continues to be high it can cause all kinds of havoc in other systems of the body, such as kidneys and other delicate tissues. It can also cause heart attack or stroke. The heart can be enlarged because it is working harder to pump blood. Yet 30% of people who have high blood pressure don’t even know they have it, because there are no symptoms. .

Arterial plaque build up (also called hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis, or arteriosclerosis) can increase blood pressure and make the heart’s work more difficult. It refers to the accumulation of cholesterol, calcium and various minerals that stick to the lining of blood vessels and as the deposits grow, the blood vessels narrow. This process increases with age.

Medications prescribed by traditional doctors can lower blood pressure. But they do nothing to handle the cause of the high blood pressure and all drugs have side effects. When drugs are not effective, doctors tend to just prescribe more drugs, which still only treat the symptom, not the cause. And side effects expand.

There is another solution. Chelation therapy is not new – it was invented in the early 20th century to remove heavy metals from the body and it is still a valid therapy for such. An IV drip is used to stream specific chemical compounds into the blood. To assist the heart and lower blood pressure, the agent used is EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetate acid).

It is not known exactly how chelation therapy works, but there are two similar theories. Both involve the EDTA binding itself to harmful particles in the bloodstream and thereby rendering them harmless and allowing them to pass out of the body. One theory says EDTA binds to damaging free radicals, and the other says it binds to calcium and other minerals that cause arterial plaque build up. In either case, it works, and harmful particles are removed, increasing blood flow.

EDTA has other benefits that increase blood flow and prevent blood clots. It acts as a blood thinning agent and can thus prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Increasing blood circulation by chelation therapy is definitely the safest way of controlling high blood pressure. It is a tested and effective cure.
