Blood pressure has two measurements - systolic, which is pressure of blood against artery walls when the heart pumps, and diastolic, which is pressure when the heart is at rest. When blood pressure is higher than--0/90 that is considered high blood pressure or hypertension. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 or lower. High blood pressure occurs because 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.
Calcium, cholesterol and various minerals can form deposits inside blood vessels, making them smaller and sometimes completely stopped up. This process, which increases blood pressure because it slows blood flow, has several names - hardening of the arteries, arterial plaque build up, arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis.
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).
One theory about why chelation works is that the agent (EDTA) binds calcium and other minerals to itself and allows them to pass out of the body, which improves the condition of the arteries. The second theory about why it works is that EDTA attaches itself to free radicals, which can cause a lot of tissue damage, and allows these free radicals to be eliminated.
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.
Increasing blood circulation by chelation therapy is definitely the safest way of controlling high blood pressure. It is a tested and effective cure. - 30310
