• Heart Problems? Are You at Risk?

  Date: 2007.07.27 | Category: Heart Tips | Response: 0

  Whether we like it or not, our bodies are under constant attack from toxins, in our food, the water we drink and from the very air we breath. Many of these, harmful heavy metals, such as Mercury, Cadmium and Lead can build up as plaque in the bloodstream, leading to the narrowing of the arteries ( known as Atherosclerosis). This in turn can lead to all sorts of problems and in many cases, drastic surgery to bypass blocked arteries. Chelation Therapy is a method of drawing toxins from the circulatory system. The word Chelation is derived from the Greek word “chele” meaning “to claw”.

  Chelation ( Pronounced Key-lay-shon) therapy has been used by doctors since the 1930′s, utilising a synthetic amino acid known as EDTA ( Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) to great effect in binding the offending heavy metals and releasing them out of the body through the urine.

  Chelation Therapy is considered to be an effective first step alternative to surgery for Atheroslerotic Vascular disease. In some cases deeming bypass surgery unnecessary. This therapy ( like bypass surgery and angioplasty) is based upon a scientific rationale and is of measurable benefit to patients. Positive results have been seen in hundreds of thousands of cases where this treatment has been used.

  However, Intravenous Chelation Therapy is a long, tedious and expensive process and not suitable for all.

  There is an alternative. The Original Oral Chelation Formula #1, developed by a leading nutritionist in the USA is now available in the UK.

  The Original Oral Chelation has been used safely and effectively for 20 years. It consists of Royal Jelly, unprocessed honey, natural Vitamin C, B12 and Honeybee Pollen. The Original Oral Chelation contains one very important synthetic ingredient in oral chelation, EDTA. The most effective forms of chelation, ( oral or intravenous) utilise a synthetic amino acid, called EDTA to remove toxins, specifically heavy metals, from the circulatory system. (Think about the Mercury leaking into your systems from Amalgam filling). Amalgam fillings contain more than 50 per cent Mercury – a highly toxic heavy metal. Mercury is more poisonous than Lead. When it is released in the body it can settle in the central nervous system , kidneys, brain and other organs.

  The Original Oral Chelation ( Formula #1) has the benefit of the EDTA, is in Royal Jelly and Natural Honey. Your body sees this formula as food so you absorb it quickly, almost as quick as IV.

  How does The Original Oral Chelation compare to IV chelation therapy? A session of IV chelation therapy can last 3 hours, 30 to 40 treatments are generally required costing $3000 – $6000, and must be supervised by an M.D. It is high cost, there is a risk of infection, it takes a long time.

  The Original Oral Chelation uses raw unpasturised honey to carry and deliver EDTA. Uses the richest natural source of B Vitamins from fresh Royal Jelly. Take 1 – 2 tablespoons daily. Also available in softgels. Use in the privacy of your own home. It tastes great and costs as little as $0.50 – $1.00 per day.

  Regain and maintain heart health with Original Oral Chelation Formula #1. Effectively binding to harmful heavy metals and helping to remove them from the bloodstream. Tens of thousands have benefitted from this life-changing dietary supplement.

  You owe it to your heart. Why not try a bottle Today and start feeling the benefit. Available in liquid or softgel capsules.

• Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) – A Heart Condition

  Date: 2007.05.13 | Category: Heart Tips | Response: 0

  Mitral Valve allows blood to flow in one direction from the atrium (upper chamber) to the ventricle (lower chamber). It is one of the four valves separating different chambers of the heart. Mitral valve causes problem if it doesnt open and close as per its functionality.

  It causes blood to leak backwards into the upper chamber of the heart, leading to a ‘heart murmur’. This is called as Mitral Valve Prolapse. The functioning of your heart is normal at this point of time. This does not worsen over a period of time, but is one of the main reasons for cardiac problems.

  Mitral valve prolapse is very common among women although men are targeted too. It can strike in early adulthood. It is considered to be a hereditary problem. Mitral Valve Prolapse syndrome is also called as dysautonomia.

  One of the main reasons which cause an increase in mitral valve prolapse syndrome is stress. The cause of stress can be due to childbirth, drastic events, and life turning experiences and day to day stress in life. Nearly 60% of the patients with MVP do not show symptoms. The other 40% does show some sign, which you should be aware of.

• Abnormal Beating of the Heart: Cardiac Arrhythmias

  Date: 2006.09.15 | Category: Heart Tips | Response: 0

  Heart has a rhythmic capability to beat and pump blood to our body and remarkably, does so without fail, throughout our life. The rhythm has been destined to beat in certain prefixed numerical limits and with certain regularity. Arrhythmias are disorders characterized by abnormal beating of the heart. Arrhythmias can occur in a healthy heart and be of minimal consequence. At the same time they may co-exist with diseased heart and may be life-threatening or may cause, stroke, heart failure or sudden death.

  An arrhythmia occurs when the normal electrical cycle of the heart is disturbed. Normally, tiny currents activate the upper part of the heart, just before the bottom part of the heart, which are the muscular chambers that pump blood around the body. Fast arrhythmias are referred to as ‘tachyarrhythmias’. When the heart goes too slowly due to a failure of electrical activation, it is referred to as a brady arrhythmia. Most arrhythmias arising from the top of the heart are troublesome but not life-threatening. Many arrhythmias arising from the lower of the heart, are life-threatening.

  Causes of Cardiac Arrhythmias

  Some cardiac arrhythmias result from congenital heart defects that run in families. Others arise from a variety of diseases that develop in individuals over a period of years. Others still result from sudden events such as heart attack. They may also be the result of excessive alcohol, smoking or certain drugs. Rarely despite extensive investigations no cause is found of their occurrence. Cardiac arrhythmias may be symptomatic or may cause a variety of warning symptoms such as palpitations or rapid thumping in the chest, feeling tired or light-headed, getting unconscious, having shortness of breath or chest pain.

  Types of Arrhythmias

  Following are the different types of cardiac arrhythmias:

  1. Atrial fibrillation: The heart beats too fast and irregularly. This type of arrhythmia requires treatment and can increase risk of stroke.

  2. Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia: The heart has episodes when it beats fast, but regularly. This type of arrhythmia may be unpleasant but is usually not dangerous.

  3. Ectopic beats: The heart has an extra beat. Treatment usually is not needed unless you have several extra beats in row and/or other problems with your heart – such as heart disease or congenital heart failure.

  4. Ventricular tachycardia: The heart beats too fast and may not pump enough blood. These types of arrhythmias are very dangerous and need immediate treatment.

  The Remedy

  Treatment depends on the type of cardiac arrhythmia you have. Some mild arrhythmias require no treatment. Other arrhythmias can be treated with medicines. In more serious cases, other treatments are available:

  1. Drugs.

  2. A pacemaker: An electronic device placed under the skin on the chest. It helps the heart maintain a regular beat, especially when the heart beats too slowly.

  3. Implantable cardiac defibrillation: Can be used to stop an abnormal rhythm and restore a normal one.

  4. Surgery: Can correct certain types of arrhythmias. For example, arrhythmias caused by coronary artery disease may be controlled by bypass surgery. When an cardiac arrhythmia is causes by a certain area of the heart, sometimes that part of the heart can be destroyed or removed.
