High Blood Pressure – A Solution Without Drugs
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.
High blood pressure is called “the silent killer,” because there are no symptoms and often people do not know they have it, although one in three American adults have high blood pressure. As the heart beats harder to force blood through the arteries, the heart itself increases in size and that means less efficiency. If high blood pressure is not handled, it can cause damage to kidneys and other delicate tissues as well as increase risk of heart attack and stroke.
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.
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.
Chelation has been tested and proven to be an effective cure for these vascular diseases. It is a proven means of enhancing arterial health and boosting circulation. By cleaning out arteries and increasing blood circulation, it can lower blood pressure significantly.
