Cardiovascular Diseases

Dietary supplements are valuable in supporting heart and blood vessel diseases.
Nutrition and exercise remain the most important measures that need to be changed, supplements can be valuable support.

The following nutrients can be used (daily doses):

-vit K2, 0.180 -0.360 mg
-vit D, 3000-5000 iu
-magnesium, 300-500 mg
-green tea extract, 300-500 mg EGCG
-curcumin, 500 -1000 mg
-resveratrol, 100-200 mg
-omega-3, 1000-2000 mg EPA+DHA
-vit C, 1000 -2000 mg
-L-Taurine, 500-1500 mg
-Red Yeast Rice with 10 mg monacolin-K. This can be an alternative to the classic statins that are prescribed.
The 10 mg dose (therapeutic dose) can only be obtained from the pharmacy with a prescription.

The low doses that are available as a nutritional supplement are not very effective.
Most of these risk factors are entirely within your control and can be prevented by taking action healthy diet and sufficient exercise movement.

EDTA chelation therapy is a very safe, detoxifying therapy in which a synthetic amino acid (EDTA or ethylenediamine tetraacetate) is administered via an infusion. This amino acid has the property that it likes to bind to metals and minerals. This bond is called a chelate. Heavy metals in particular (such as lead, cadmium and mercury) have a strong affinity with EDTA and form strong bonds with it.

In the 1940s and 1950s, doctors who treated heart patients with lead intoxication discovered that their patients had a significant reduction in heart complaints.

I have been using chelation therapy in my practice for more than twenty years. It is a therapy without side effects. I have already given thousands of infusions and find that the therapy works particularly well for blockages of the blood vessels in the legs and around the heart.

Over the past twenty years, chelation therapy has been studied by many scientists, and its effect and beneficial effects have been mapped out. In 1993, a study was published showing that patients who had had a heart attack and then followed chelation therapy had a greatly reduced risk of a new infarction. Seventy percent were free of complaints after three years and their quality of life had greatly improved: they could climb stairs better, were less likely to become short of breath, had more blood flow to the lower limbs, had less pain in the legs, etc.

Research in 2014 (double blind, placebo controlled) has shown that EDTA chelation therapy is indeed effective.
Diabetes patients in particular benefit from it. These patients are very susceptible to cardiovascular diseases as a result
of their illness. Diabetics saw a 43 percent decrease in mortality, relapse after surgery and rehospitalization for heart problems. Other patients had an 18 percent reduction in recurrence of heart and blood vessel problems.

Chelation therapy is also possible preventive be used to prevent arteriosclerosis. It can be administered after bypass surgery to prevent new heart attacks. In many cases, chelation therapy is a safe alternative to heart surgery and is usually a therapy that can prevent leg surgery for blocked blood vessels. In many cases, chelation therapy can prevent amputation or heart surgery.

In my view, chelation therapy is a very valuable additional therapy, as part of a total treatment in which a healthy diet, exercise, stress reduction and nutritional supplements are also of fundamental importance. The therapy also proves its value as a supplement to traditional medicines.

Chelation therapy affects two processes and therefore works in two ways:

1. EDTA neutralizes free radicals. If free radicals are given free rein under the influence of certain circumstances (smoking, stress, unhealthy diet, air pollution, excessive alcohol consumption, some medicines), they damage cells, resulting in an accelerated aging process, cancer and arteriosclerosis. The production and activity of these free radicals can be promoted by heavy metals in the bloodstream. Chelation therapy ensures that these heavy metals are eliminated.
2. EDTA not only binds heavy metals, but also calcium. This positively influences the ratio between calcium and magnesium. This has a beneficial effect on the arteriosclerosis process.

In practice, the active ingredient EDTA is administered via an infusion together with a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The treatment is done once or twice a week and must be repeated twenty to fifty times, depending on the indication.
