The process of hardening of the arteries occurs throughout the body's entire arterial system. The advantage of oral chelation is that it aids in improving, not just coronary arterial function, but also the multitude of other critical arterial sights.

In the early years when chelation therapy was used for lead poisoning, doctors noted that their patients experienced unexpected improvements beyond those that could be explained by lead removal. Patients reported improved memory, diminished leg and chest pain on exertion, better vision, better hearing and improved sense of smell...improvements related to improved circulation and relief of blocked or narrowed arteries.(9) Poor circulation and lack of blood flow to the reproductive organs is a primary cause of male impotence. Many men find that, as their circulation is improved, sexual performance also improves. Chelating agents can also remove age related cross-linkages in collagen and elastin that are responsible for loss of skin tone and wrinkling. After chelation therapy, patients often look younger. Their skin becomes smoother, more flexible and wrinkles actually disappear to some degree. )

Disturbed lipid metabolism is one of the biggest culprits and a common denominator in athero-sclerosis. In Ayurvedic medicine, a proprietary blend of the following herbs is used for hypercho-lesterolemia, ischemic heart disease, angina pain, obesity and as a preventive for heart disease: pushkarmul (lnula racemosa), kut (Saussurea lappa), arjuna (Terminalia Arjuna), prishnaparni (Destoodium gingaticum), guggulu (Commiphora mukul), jalneem (Bacopa monniera) and shankhpushpi (Convolvulous pluricaulis).

Intravenous chelation has been used for many years to flush toxic heavy metals out of the body and remove calcified plaque from artery walls. This safe, non-surgical therapy has been effectively used to treat cardiovascular disease, gangrene and other circulatory problems, metal toxicities and other ailments. While intravenous chelation may provide dramatic results more quickly, Cardio Flow, an oral chelation nutritional complex containing a proprietary blend of Ayurvedic herbs, and other synergistic nutrients and herbs, can be very effective, not to mention more convenient and less expensive.

· Kut has antidiabetic properties.

· · Arjuna and prishnaparni are cardiac tonics?) Other botanical deansers are also induded in the Cardio Flow formula. Bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple, and papain from papaya are also used to deanse the arteries. These enzymes break down fibrin, inhibit clotting and promote normal healing of surface lesions. Bromelain also increases the ability of blood cells to break down and remove foreign or damaged proteins.

The amino acid tripeptide, glutathion, has been called the "master antioxidant". It actually detoxi-ties oxidized fat in the intestinal tract, preventing free radicals from entering the bloodstream.

As heavy metals and excess minerals are flushed from the cells, it is important to support the liver and its detoxification processes for removal of these wastes from the body. Glutathione, the sele-nium-dependent enzyme glutathione peroxidase and vitamin A are important to the body's detoxi-fication system.

Essential Minerals Must Be Replaced

An effective oral chelation formula should also replace essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, zinc and selenium, that may also be flushed out of the body.

Potassium and magnesium orotates and aspartates, are used in Cardio Flow, based on the successful heart protocol developed by German doctor, Hans Nieper. In his seven year study, deaths from heart attack decreased 84%.(n) In-

creasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) formation is an important factor in overcoming myocardial muscular fatigue. In the aspartate and orotate forms, minerals can be easily transported to the mitochondria for increased ATP formation.

A high intake of mineral ascorbates also increases excretion of minerals, chiefly calcium and magnesium. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) also stimulates production of the enzyme LPL Clipotrophic lipase) which acts as a deansing agent on vascular walls.
