A ranch house, a zip lock bag and some trivial flour
Two experiments:
1)Some ordinary wheat flour such as can be saved in most homes placed with whatsoever water in a zip-lock plastic bag. A magnet is passed over the bag and an extraordinary thing happens - Iron particles start popping down and attaching themselves to the broadside of the bag, forming clusters of what looked same iron filings.
2) The next experiment involves placing a well-known brand of cereal into a bowl of water. The magnet is again passed finished the bowl this time and the flakes literally line up and follow the magnet rounded the bowl.
This is the first time I realized that there is so untold added iron in the food that we eat and the effect it can have on our health.
We’ve all been told that heart attacks and heart bypass surgery are as a direct result of preventative or furring of our arteries by ‘bad cholesterol’. The arteries become so narrowed as to make the blood flow through the arteries very ambitious thus placing big strains on the cardio-vascular system.
Why do we need chelators and what are they?
A few trace metals that we absorb are toxic, these include iron and lead
To make use of them our bodies essential form chelates (key-lates) out of them, and to do this requires chelating substances
Chelating substances attach to in demand trace metals and allow the body to properly utilize those metals they also attach to undesirable trace metals and allow the body to remove them.
Types of Chelator
Many chemicals can serve as chelators. Their effects will depend on the fine nature and concentration of that chelator.
There are whatsoever weak chelators attending in common foods.
Stronger chelators are substances used medicinally to rid the body of unnecessary toxic metals
Why is there latent for Iron Overload? Iron overload is possible because there is no mean mechanism for removing it from the body.
The body is iron-efficient, it retains its robust and recycles it over and finished again.
The body's iron level is controlled almost entirely by absorption and iron can build up progressively as dietary intake increases, especially in men because they do not have a monthly blood loss.
Over a period of months and years this will result in the accumulation of single grams of iron.
Iron and Heart Disease Risk
Iron can generate liberated radical pathology.
There is now good evidence that liberated radical pathology leads to changes in the blood vessels which sets the stage for atheroscelerosis.
Accumulation of excess robust in the body may increase the risk for heart disease and the connection doesn't end there....
Health statistics have revealed that women have a lower risk of heart disease than men, until menopause, after which the risk is the same.
Why?
Pre-menopausal women have a monthly blood loss that rids the body of excess, potentially toxic iron, which may protect against heart disease.
Even pre-menopausal women with high blood cholesterol levels and higher levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, which are considered to be strong risk factors for heart disease, have little heart disease than men.
The Lead connection
Lead is a toxic element that has galore undesirable health effects.
Evidence links excess lead with cardiovascular disease, cancer and other disorders.
Researchers have saved that cancer rates are higher amongst people living neighboring heavily-traveled roads and it was advisable that this multiplied risk is repayable to the high levels of lead in the air.
This led the researchers to test the effect of a lead-removing substance - EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid),a artificial amino acid and chelating agent - on cancer rates in people live near high-traffic roads.
After 18 years those treated with EDTA had one-tenth of the cancer rate of those not treated with EDTA.(1)
Chelation Therapy
This is the use of chelating agents, orally or by injection, in order to bind and remove harmful metals from the body.
The man-made chelating agent EDTA can remove most toxic metals.
Intravenous Chelation
This therapy has been used by doctors as an effective secondary to bypass surgery for atherosclerosis since the 1950s, giving hope that having hardening of the arteries need not lead to coronary bypass surgery, heart attack, stroke and many other related diseases.
Doctors known reduced pain and blood cholesterol levels as well as other favorable changes. EDTA chelation therapy has been reported to help in galore conditions now thought to be incidental to to free immoderate pathology: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and others.
Another effect of EDTA is that it changes the calcium/ magnesium ratio in the body.
EDTA removes calcium more efficiently than magnesium which reduces the ratio.
Lowering the ratio improves the flexibility of blood cells, reduces the tendency of blood to clot and reduces blood cholesterol and blood pressure.
So the benefits of EDTA are not entirely due to the removal of cyanogenetic metals but also the calcium/magnesium balance.
In the case of intravenous chelation, EDTA is used as the chelating agent. It is carried in a glucose formulation together with synthetic B Vitamins. It takes single hours and requires 80-100 treatments.
Oral Chelation
Oral EDTA therapy can also be used. One or cardinal oral doses of EDTA per day, over a period of months can have a long preventative effect.
But beware! - there are many so-called spoken chelation supplements on the market containing few or no chelating substances!
For an spoken chelation supplement that has been proved and certified to lower bad cholesterol by The University of Illinois, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition: Go to
