Most older adults know that blood pressure over–0/90 is considered high blood pressure and that healthy blood pressure is 120/80 or lower. But what does that mean? The first number is the systolic blood pressure, which means the pressure of blood against the artery walls when the heart beats. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure – the pressure of the blood when the heart is at rest (in between beats). Blood pressure goes high when 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. .
As we age, cholesterol, calcium, and other minerals accumulate on the inside lining of our blood vessels and, over time, clog them. This process is referred to variously as hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, and arterial plaque buildup. It makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood and thereby increases blood pressure.
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.
Chelation therapy is a solution that produces little or no side effects. Chelation therapy involves the use of chemical compounds injected into the blood stream with an IV drip. This therapy was originally used to remove heavy metals from the body, and it still is. The chelator (chemical compound) used for heart health and high blood pressure is ethylene diamine tetra-acetate acid, or EDTA
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.
As an added benefit, EDTA chelation has blood-thinning effects and discourages the formation of potentially dangerous blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Increasing blood circulation by chelation therapy is definitely the safest way of controlling high blood pressure. It is a tested and effective cure.
