Frequently
Asked Questions
1)
Can you tell me something about Extreme Health's Oral
Chelation / Age-Less Formula?
Our formula comes in two bottles: Oral Chelation and Age-Less.
The two bottles work synergistically and are not sold separately.
Each set of Oral Chelation and Age-Less comes shrunk-wrapped
with a thirty-two page informational brochure. In the brochure
is a complete ingredient list and an ingredient rationale.
This rationale is included to help you understand why all
sixty-seven ingredients are in the formula. The formula targets
heavy metal toxins and the circulatory system. We have had
great results from our research department and from many of
the medical doctors whom use our products with their patients.
The preliminary studies we have done verify (through urine
hair and thermography analyses) the effectiveness of our
product.
2)
What dosage do you recommend?
Our
doctors and our Director of Research recommend that you start with one of each
(1 Oral Chelation at night before bed and 1 Age-Less in the morning) daily.
After 5-7 days progress to two of each daily; and after another 5-7 days progress
to 3 of each daily. Please make sure that you are drinking at least 8 glasses
of water every day. 3) How important is it that I drink eight 8-ounce glasses
of water daily? It is very important that you drink eight 8-ounce glasses of
filtered (purified) water daily while taking our Oral Chelation / Age-Less Formula.
Keeping your body hydrated will help you eliminate these toxins more efficiently
and will prevent toxic buildup a condition that can contribute to the experience
of negative side effects.
3)
What should I do if I experience side effects?
Our
doctors and our Director of Research recommend that when anyone
experiences side effects (head aches fatigue or muscle aches)
they should stop the formula for a couple of days and drink
lots of water and then return back to the beginning dosage
(one of each daily). The product is very effective and it
may be able to pull the toxins from the body faster than detoxification
pathways are able to eliminate them. Starting slowly with
1 Oral Chelation before bed and 1 Age-Less in the morning
and drinking plenty of water will help you avoid negative
side effects.
4)
How long should I take the formula?
You
should commit yourself to at least 6 months. The results of
our preliminary studies are based on people who took the formula
for a 6 month period .
5)
Does your formula have EDTA?
Our Oral Chelation / Age-Less Formula does contain EDTA. EDTA
is a synthetic amino acid that has been used in intravenous
solutions as a therapy for heavy metal poisoning and cardiovascular
disease. While it is effective as an intravenous therapy
an oral dose of EDTA is rather poorly absorbed (4%-15% of
total dose). Our formula does include a small amount of EDTA
BUT ALSO contains 16 other powerful natural chelators that
have the ability to be 100% absorbable and assist in the elimination
of heavy metal toxins plus over 20 different substances that
assist the cardiovascular system for normal healthy circulation.
Our formula includes 67 total ingredients.
6)
Can you tell me something about your Liver Support formula?
This
natural plant based formula has double-blind studies
that verify it has the ability to regenerate the
liver with individuals diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver.
Liver Support is recommended for individuals whom have a history
of alcoholism drug abuse liver and / or gall bladder problems
long-term pharmaceutical use or exposure to environmental
toxins and cigarette smoke. This formula is available through
Extreme Health but it is also included as one of the liver
ingredients in the bottle of Age-Less.
7)
Why does your formula contain antioxidant agents?
Our
formula contains 40 different antioxidants for a variety of
reasons. Antioxidants not only support the liver and kidneys
through the detoxification process but also curtail free
radical activity. Free radical damage underlies most degenerative
diseases and heavy metal toxins have the ability to increase
the production of free radicals within the body dramatically.
In fact most of the damage caused by heavy metals stems from
the production of oxidative free radicals. With a heavy toxic
load or antioxidant deficiencies uncontrolled free radical
production occurs. Antioxidants are essential to neutralize
oxidative free radicals and minimize the deleterious health
effects of these harmful agents
ORAL
CHELATION:
Chelation
which is pronounced "key-layshun" comes from the
Greek word "chele" meaning to claw. Chelating agents
are substances that can chemically bond with toxic minerals
metals and chemicals within the body. The chelating agent
encircles a mineral or metal ion and carries it from the body
via the urine and feces.
1)
WHAT IS ORAL CHELATION?
Oral
chelation involves the ingestion of natural chelating substances.
Various vitamins minerals amino acids antioxidants phytonutrients
and herbs can be used to supplement the benefits of the numerous
chelating agents. The addition of these substances helps to
replenish any loss of nutrients that may occur during the
chelation process. In so far as possible all ingredients
are derived from natural sources. Oral EDTA chelation has
all the benefits of intravenous (IV) chelation but is much
slower acting because only 4% to 18% of an oral EDTA dose
is absorbed (compared with 100% of an IV dose)
2)
Taken on a daily basis oral chelation will gradually accomplish
what its IV counterpart does in a shorter duration of time.
Oral
chelation is useful in reducing heavy metal toxicity calcification
blood cholesterol and lipid peroxidation (the free-radical
oxidation of metabolized fats) as well as thinning the blood
and preventing the formation of blood clots (a cause of heart
attacks).
3)
WHAT IS EDTA?
EDTA
is a synthetic amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks
of protein. EDTA is approximately one-third as toxic to the
body as aspirin.
4)
EDTA chelation therapy in an intravenous solution was first
introduced into medicine in the United States in 1948 as a
treatment for lead poisoning.
Shortly
thereafter the U.S. Navy advocated the use of chelation therapy
for sailors who had absorbed lead while painting ships and
military facilities using lead-based paint. The U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved IV EDTA chelation
as a treatment for lead poisoning. Physicians administering
IV EDTA chelation for lead toxicity observed that patients
who also had atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries primarily
caused by fatty-plaque) or arteriosclerosis (hardening of
the arteries caused by calcium) experienced reductions in
both conditions after chelation
5)
Since 1952 IV EDTA chelation has been used by some medical
practitioners to treat cardiovascular disease.
6)
More recently oral chelation has come into use as an alternative
to the IV form of therapy.
Although much safer and less expensive than coronary bypass
surgery or angioplasty IV chelation is still relatively expensive.
It is not widely available and there are comparatively few
experienced medical doctors that are trained to administer
it. Fortunately there is a safer less expensive non-invasive
and more readily obtainable alternative-Oral Chelation.
WHAT ARE HEAVY METALS?
Heavy
metals are trace metals with a density at least five times
that of water. They are stable elements that cannot be metabolized
by the body and get passed up in the food chain to human beings
(bio-accumulate). The most common and harmful heavy metals
are Aluminum Arsenic Cadmium Copper Lead Mercury and
Nickel. There are many more existing heavy metals that are
not as prevalent or as harmful as the previously noted elements.
Heavy metals in general have no basic function in the body
and can be highly toxic. Heavy metals are present in the air
drinking water food and countless human-made chemicals and
products. They are taken into the body by inhalation ingestion
and skin absorption. If heavy metals enter and accumulate
in body tissues faster than the body's detoxification pathways
can dispose of them a gradual buildup of these toxins will
occur.High-concentration exposure is not necessary in order
to produce a state of toxicity in the body. Most cases of
heavy metal poisoning result from chronic low level exposure
to these hazardous environmental toxins. In the last 50 years
human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically. This
is the result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy
metals in industrial processes and products. Today chronic
exposure comes from toxic waste dump and burn sites agriculture
chemical products mercury amalgam dental fillings* lead-based
paint tap water and chemical residues in processed foods.
Personal care products- such as cosmetics mouthwash toothpaste
soap shampoo and other hair care goods are also sources of
contamination. In today's industrial society there is no
escaping exposure to toxic metals and chemicals. In addition
to the hazards at home and outdoors many occupations are
subjected to daily heavy metal exposure. Over 50 professions
are exposed to mercury on a daily basis. These include physicians
pharmaceutical workers dentists dental workers laboratory
workers hairdressers painters printers welders metalworkers
cosmetic workers battery makers engravers photographers
visual artists and potters.Studies confirm that toxic heavy
metals can directly influence behavior by impairing mental
and neurological function. They can also influence the production
and utilization of neurotransmitters and can alter numerous
metabolic body processes. Toxic metal elements can induce
impairment and dysfunction in the blood cardiovascular system
detoxification pathways (colon liver kidneys skin) endocrine
(hormonal) system energy production pathways enzymatic pathways
gastrointestinal tract immune system nervous system (both
central and peripheral) reproductive system and urinary
system pathways.
Breathing heavy metal particles even at levels well below
those considered nontoxic can have serious health effects.
Virtually all aspects of animal and human immune system function
are compromised by the inhalation of heavy metal particulates.In
addition toxic metals can increase allergic reactions cause
genetic mutation compete with "good" trace metals
for biochemical bonding sites and act as antibiotics killing
both harmful and beneficial bacteria.
Much of the damage produced by toxic metals stems from the
production of oxidative free radicals. A free radical is an
energetically unbalanced molecule that "steals"
an electron from another molecule in order to restore its
balance. Free radicals result naturally when cell molecules
react with oxygen (oxidation). With a heavily toxic load
or antioxidant deficiencies uncontrolled free-radical production
occurs. Unchecked free radicals can cause tissue damage throughout
the body. In fact free-radical damage underlies all degenerative
diseases. Vitamins A C and E are some well-known antioxidants
that curtail free-radical activity.
Toxic heavy metals can also increase the acidity of the blood.
The body draws calcium from the bones in order to restore
proper blood pH. Toxic metals can set up conditions that lead
to inflammation in arteries and tissues causing more calcium
to be drawn to the area as a buffer. The calcium coats inflamed
areas in the blood vessels like a bandage patching up one
problem but creating another- the hardening and progressive
blockage of the arteries. Without replenishment of calcium
the constant removal of this important mineral from the bones
will result in osteoporosis (the loss of bone density) which
leads to an increased risk for fractures of the spine and
hips.
*There is considerable scientific debate over this issue in
the United States and abroad
General:
1. Should extra water and or other fluids be taken
with an oral chelation product?
Yes I would recommend 8 - 8oz. glasses (2 quarts) of filtered
water per day to be drunk throughout the day.
2.
What organs or structures are the chelating agents aimed or
targeted at precisely?
The
heart blood vessels (large & small) nerve ganglia; systemic-
the joints tendons ligaments muscles and bones.
3.
How do you know if one formula is better than another?
An oral chelation formula is only good if it has four basic
steps. a) Certain ingredients that can bind to the heavy metals.
b) Certain ingredients that have the ability to mobilize.
c) Certain ingredients that must be present to eliminate what
has been mobilized or it will continue to circulate and make
you sicker. d) Most formulas forget about the last step (which
is extremely important step) to support and regenerate the
detoxification pathways. The liver and kidneys are usually
stressed or damaged as we get older and need this extra support.
4.
Is it best to take supplements with your food?
Dr.
Maile Pouls recommends taking supplements on an empty stomach
however approximately 50% of the people will get an upset
stomach when this happens they need to take their supplement
with food.
5.
Are all ingredients equal in quality?
No
there are many levels of quality. It is important that a product
can prove the effectiveness of its formula. The product should
have clinical studies to prove its effectiveness
6.
Do mercury amalgam dental fillings cause damage to the brain
in children?
Yes
not only does it cause damage to the brain it can also cause
possible damage to the kidneys and immune system. Ref: Press
conference of the Swedish Council for Planning and Coordinating
Research Stockholm 19 February 1998 "Amalgam can cause
brain damage in Children."
7.
Can mercury amalgam filling cause neurological problems and
memory problems?
Yes.
Amalgam fillings are linked to neurological problems gastrointestinal
problems sleep disturbances concentration problems memory
disturbances restlessness bleeding gums and other mouth
disorders. Ref: The statistical analysis 17500 system questionnaires
(Tubing Norway) on Mercury from amalgam. Press conference
in Jan 1997.
8.
What are the Recommended Dosages for Children?
Children
ages 2-7: Start with of an Oral Chelation capsule
before bed and of an Age-less caplet upon waking.
Administration of each should be done every other day (make
sure you are not giving your child the formula daily but
are instead skipping one day in between administrations) for
the first week (7 days) that the child is on the formula.
After the first week progress to of an Oral Chelation
capsule before bed and of a Age-less caplet upon
waking every day. Continue with this regimen for the next

COMMON HEAVY METALS: SOURCES AND SPECIFIC EFFECTS
Aluminum
arsenic cadmium copper lead mercury and nickel are the
most prevalent heavy metals. The specific sources of exposure
to body tissues where the metals tend to be deposited and
the adverse health effects of each metal are identified below.
1. Aluminum
(CAS# 7429-90-5) Sources of exposure: Air (high levels of
aluminum dust in the workplace) acid rain (dissolves aluminum
from soil and rock) plants grown in aluminum laden soil
aluminum cookware aluminum foil antacids antiperspirants
appliances baking powder (aluminum containing) buffered
aspirin building materials canned acidic foods food additives
lipstick prescription and over-the-counter drugs (anti-diarrhea
agents hemorrhoid medications vaginal douches) processed
cheese "softened" and normal tap water.12 Target
tissues: Bones brain kidneys skin lungs and stomach.13
Signs and Symptoms: Colic dementia esophagitis gastroenteritis
kidney damage liver dysfunction loss of appetite loss of
balance muscle pain psychosis shortness of breath weakness
and fatigue.
Dr. McLaughlin M.D. F.R.C.P. (C) a professor of physiology
and medicine and the director of the Centre for Research in
Neurodegenerative Diseases at the University of Toronto states
"Concentrations of aluminum that are toxic to many biochemical
processes are found in at least ten human neurological conditions."15
Recent studies suggest that aluminum may be involved in the
progression of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) senile and presenile dementia clumsiness
of movements staggering when walking and an inability to
pronounce words properly.1617 Behavioral difficulties among
schoolchildren have also been correlated with elevated levels
of aluminum and other neuro-toxic heavy metals.18
Medical tests for aluminum screening: Blood urine feces
hair and fingernails.
Everyone is exposed to low levels of aluminum from food air
and water. High levels can effect the respiratory and nervous
systems and the bones.19 Aluminum toxicity may also cause
birth defects in new-borns. Aluminum has been found in at
least 489 of the 1416 (34%) National Priorities List sites
identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).20
2.
Arsenic
(CAS# 7440-38-2) Sources of exposure: Air pollution antibiotics
given to commercial livestock certain marine plants ores
(copper and lead) smelting / refining / processing plants galvanizing
etching and plating processes chemical processing coal-fired
power plants defoliants drinking water drying agents for
cotton pesticides herbicides insecticides seafood (fish
mussels oysters) specialty glass hazardous waste sites
and wood preservatives.21 Target tissues: Most organs of the
body especially the gastrointestinal tract liver kidneys
spleen lungs and skin.
Signs and Symptoms: Abdominal pain burning of the mouth and
throat garlic-like breath malaise fatigue cancer (especially
lung and skin) coma diarrhea nausea neuritis peripheral
vascular problems dermatitis skin lesions and vascular
collapse.242526 Low levels of inorganic arsenic decrease
the production of red and white blood cells damage blood
vessels and can cause "pins and needles" sensation
in the hands and feet. Long-term exposure can cause darkening
of the skin and the appearance of small "corns"
or "warts" on the palms soles and torso.27
Medical test for arsenic screening: Urine (best) hair and
fingernails.
Exposure to higher than average levels occurs primarily in
the workplace near hazardous waste sites or in areas with
naturally high levels. This chemical is present in at least
781 of the 1300 (60%) NPL sites identified by the EPA.28
3. Cadmium
(CAS#7440-43-9)
Sources of exposure: Air pollution from the burning of fossil
fuels (oil and coal) and the incineration of municipal waste
materials art supplies bone meal cigarette smoke food
(coffee fruits grains and vegetables) grown in cadmium-laden
soil meats refined foods seafood fungicides highway dusts
incinerators mining nickel-cadmium batteries oxide dusts
paints phosphate fertilizers power plants sewage sludge
"softened" water smelting plants tobacco and
welding fumes.29 A prevalent source of cadmium exposure is
from tobacco products. Most people who smoke have twice as
much cadmium in their bodies than non-smokers. Thirty to fifty
percent of what is inhaled is taken up into the blood stream
and retained in the body. Once cadmium enters the body it
is very strongly retained; therefore even low doses may build
up significant cadmium levels in the body if exposure persists
for a long period of time.
Target tissues: Stomach kidneys lungs immune system liver
testes nervous system and the blood.
Signs and Symptoms: Nausea vomiting diarrhea gastrointestinal
irritation pulmonary edema lung cancer (increased risk)
kidney damage and kidney stones.
Medical tests for cadmium screening: Blood (recent exposure)
urine (reflects total presence in body) and hair (less reliable).
4.
Copper
(CAS#
7440-50-8) Sources of exposure: Copper is common in our air
drinking water food and soil. It is found in plants grown
in cadmium-laden soil animals that graze on such plants
plumbing supplies (pipes faucets etc.) gardening products
used to control plant diseases and fungus (fungicides) welding
materials and electroplating materials
Target tissues: Eyes nose mouth lungs intestinal tract
kidneys and liver.
Signs and symptoms: Nose mouth and eye irritation nausea
vomiting diarrhea stomach cramps dizziness headache vertigo
drowsiness tachycardia convulsions and liver and kidney
damage.3536 Copper toxicity has been characterized in patients
with Wilson's Disease a genetic disorder that causes the
accumulation of copper in body tissue. Manifestations of Wilson's
Disease include hemolytic anemia cirrhosis of the liver
neurologic abnormalities and corneal opacities.
Medical tests for copper screening: Blood urine and hair
5.
Lead
(CAS#
7439-92-1) Sources of exposure: Air pollution soil dust
lakes rivers ground water (acidic or softened) and drinking
water. Mining and manufacturing processes burning fossil
fuels ammunitions batteries metal products like solder
and pipes roofing old paint ceramics and caulking are
additional sources of exposure. Lead is in the air and attaches
to dust. Lead-containing dust is removed from the air by rain.
It is prevalent in and around municipal waste incinerators
and landfills. Cigarette smoke is also a source of lead; people
whom smoke tobacco or breath in tobacco smoke may be exposed
to higher levels of lead than people whom are not exposed
to cigarette smoke.
Target tissues: Lead affects almost every organ system in
the body. It is absorbed into the body and distributed to
the blood soft tissue and bone. The central nervous system
is the most vulnerable to lead toxicity particularly in developing
children.40 Lead also damages the kidneys liver gastro-intestinal
tract reproductive system and the immune system.41
Signs and Symptoms: Prenatal exposure may cause premature
birth and underdeveloped babies. Young children exposed to
lead exhibit mental retardation learning difficulties and
reduced physical growth.
In adults lead may decrease reaction time cause weakness
in the fingers wrists and / or ankles cause hypertension
and possibly affect memory. It can also cause anemia and abortion
and it can damage the male reproductive system.
Medical test for lead screening: Blood urine and hair
6.
Mercury
(CAS#7439-97-6) Sources of exposure: Mercury occurs primarily
in two forms: organic mercury and inorganic mercury. The inorganic
form occurs when mercury is combined with chlorine sulfur
or oxygen. The organic form occurs when mercury is combined
with carbon. The most common form of organic mercury is methyl
mercury which is produced primarily by small organisms in
water and soil.
Metallic (inorganic) mercury is used in thermometers dental
fillings batteries skin-tightening creams antiseptic creams
and ointments. Other sources include fish shellfish and
vapors from spills incinerators and the burning of mercury
containing fuels.
Target tissues: Nervous system brain kidneys fetus lungs
and skin.48
Signs and symptoms: Irritability tremors changes in vision
and / or hearing and memory problems. Other symptoms include
nausea vomiting diarrhea increased blood pressure and / or
heart rate skin rashes gastrointestinal irritation eye
irritation renal disorders and neurobehavioral changes
The EPA has determined that mercuric chloride and methyl mercury
are possible human carcinogens. Mercury can pass from mother
to fetus and can produce brain damage mental retardation
incoordination blindness seizures and an inability to speak.
Children poisoned by mercury may develop problems with their
nervous and digestive systems and kidney damage.
7.
Nickel
(CAS
#7440-02-0) Sources of exposure: Nickel is very abundant and
is found in soils volcanic ash metal coins and jewelry.
Tobacco smoke certain foods and drinking water can also
contain various nickel concentrations.52 Target tissues: Skin
respiratory tract lungs nasal sinuses blood stomach and
kidneys.
Signs and Symptoms: Itchy skin and rashes are the most common
symptoms of exposure. It may contribute to asthma chronic
bronchitis and reduced lung function. Nickel has also been
implicated in contributing to spontaneous and threatening
abortions.54 Drinking water with unusually high amounts of
nickel may cause stomachaches and damage the kidneys. The
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined
that nickel and nickel containing compounds may be carcinogens.
Cancers of the lungs and nasal sinuses have been reported
from exposure to dust containing high levels of nickel compounds
in nickel refineries and processing plants.
Medical tests for nickel screening: Blood urine hair and
feces.
ORAL
CHELATION AND SYSTEMIC FUNCTION
Diseases
Related to the Circulatory System The ten top killers of Americans
in the order of frequency are heart disease cancer stroke
(the sudden rupture or clotting / blockage of a blood vessel
to the brain) accidents pneumonia diabetes cirrhosis of
the liver arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries composed
mainly of calcium) suicides and infant death.5758 All but
accidents pneumonia suicides and infant death have an underlying
connection to reduced blood circulation. More than 90 percent
of Americans live in jeopardy of having a serious illness
relating to the circulatory system.
The human and financial cost of cardiovascular disease in
the U.S. is astronomical. Every year approximately 1.5 million
Americans have a heart attack 300000 of whom die before
receiving medical attention. The treatment of cardiovascular
disease rings up a total of $100 billion dollars annually-
or $200000 spent every minute. Coronary artery bypass surgery
(bypassing the blocked heart artery with grafted leg artery
with an average cost of $44000) is the most frequently prescribed
surgical procedure for heart disease and costs Americans
$10 billion per year. Numerous leading medical doctors and
authorities have stated that coronary bypass surgery is prescribed
too frequently and is often unnecessary. Nearly 20000 people
die every year as a result of bypass surgery or angioplasty
(ballooning of the occluded artery with an average cost of
$21000).63Oral Chelation and Cardiovascular Disease
Chelation assists in the reduction of calcium plaque on arterial
walls. This atherosclerotic plaque is not limited to blood
vessels nearest to the heart. On the contrary it is widespread
and can affect blood flow (oxygen delivery) to every cell
tissue gland organ and system being served by the over
75000 miles of blood vessels in your body. Chelation reaches
every blood vessel in the body from the largest artery to
the smallest capillary. Most of these vessels are far too
small or too deep within the body's tissues to be safely reached
through surgery.Oral Chelation and Calcium
A common misconception about chelation is that it lowers the
levels of calcium in the bones and teeth as the body draws
calcium from them to replace the calcium drawn from the blood
by the chelation process. On the contrary the calcium to
restore blood levels is drawn from places in the body where
calcium has built up unnaturally as in arterial plaque (which
contributes to clogged arteries) calcified bursae (a source
of bursitis) arthritic joints and kidney stones.
64The Benefits of Oral Chelation
The heightened benefits of our Oral Chelation Formula appear
to result from the synergistic effect of combining EDTA with
numerous natural chelating agents such as activated clays
certain bioflavonoids chlorella cilantro coenzyme Q10
garlic L-cysteine L-glutathione lipoic acid methionine
selenium sodium alginate and zinc gluconate. Each chelating
agent appears to have a predilection for different chemicals
minerals and metal ions.
The addition of nutrients known to support liver function
and detoxification also increases the effectiveness of our
Oral Chelation Formula. Antioxidants and essential nutrients
enhance the chelation process by replacing the small losses
of beneficial minerals that are removed during chelation.
They promote the healing of tissues and prevent free-radical
oxidative damage. As with the chelating agents the antioxidants
in this formula help neutralize free radicals that are formed
by a variety of oxidizing agents. For this reason the Age-Less
formula contains over 30 different antioxidants.
Oral chelation can serve as a convenient non-invasive long-term
health maintenance and prevention program. The gradual dosage
delivery system significantly reduces the risk of side effects.
And our Oral Chelation Formula is safe for both children
and adults.In terms of ingredients the formulas have two
overall advantages:
1. They contain plant-based enzymes. Enzymes are
the catalysts for all metabolic actions and assist in the
optimal assimilation and utilization of the food people consume.
Enzymes also assist in the assimilation and utilization of
other nutrients thereby ensuring you get the most out of
each ingredient. Without enzymes proper utilization of nutrients
is not achieved. With enzyme supplementation you can assimilate
and utilize up to ten times more food and nutrients than without
enzyme supplementation. This gives the most nutrition for
the money.
2. Aside from EDTA the nutrients in the
formulas are whole food (plant) based meaning that you get
the full range of nutrients and co-factors found in that plant
or food rather than only isolated fractions as you find in
synthetic vitamin supplements. The healing actions in this
formula appear more powerful than in synthetic blends. In
addition since the formulas are plant based concentrated
food nutrients there is rarely a need to be concerned about
drug interactions or side effects. Rare cases of allergic
reactions are the exception.Importance of Diet and Nutrition
Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to cardiovascular
disease.65 Certain vitamins minerals and other nutrients
have been identified as vital for the maintenance of cardiovascular
health. Degrees of deficiency of one or a combination of the
following nutrients will result in corresponding symptoms
of physical disease or inadequacy in the cardiovascular system:
Vitamins: C E A D B (1 2 3 5 6 12) folic
acid and biotin.
Minerals: Calcium chromium copper magnesium manganese
molybdenum potassium selenium and zinc.
Amino acids: L-carnitine L-lysine L-proline
Coenzyme Q10.
Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to the accumulation
of heavy metals in the body. When sufficient levels of certain
vitamins minerals and other nutrients are maintained the
continued absorption of specific heavy metals is greatly reduced.Nutrients
Known to Protect against Heavy Metal Toxicity:
Heavy Metal Protective Nutritional Substance
Aluminum Magnesium
Arsenic Amino acids (containing sulfur)
Calcium iodine selenium vitamin C zinc
Cadmium Amino acids (containing sulfur) calcium vitamin
C zinc
Lead Amino acids (containing sulfur) calcium iron vitamin
C vitamin E zinc
Mercury Amino acids (containing sulfur) pectin (alginate)
selenium vitamin C 66
All of these nutritional supplements and more are in the Oral
Chelation and Age-Less formula.
