Here are some frequently asked questions about Cardio Renew EDTA chelation therapy.

Is Cadio Renew EDTA chelation therapy safe for anyone to take?
Almost all people can safely take Cardio Renew. Cardio Renew is a liquid, synergistic combination of amino acids. It is 100% liquid EDTA. Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein and are required for proper healthy cell development. The body recognizes EDTA and finds it compatible.

Cardio Renew should not taken by anyone that currently has Liver or Kidney disease. Cardio Renew does not recommend that pregnant or lactating women use our product. Because Cardio Renew’s EDTA formula is Sodium based, people that are extremely sensitive to Sodium (i.e. salt) should monitor their blood pressure during the Program. Cardio Renew is NOT intended for use by children.

What are the ingredients in Cardio Renew?
Cardio Renew is 100% liquid EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~ Acid). It is a proprietary blend of 3 types of Sodium based EDTA, which are all food-grade amino acids.

How long does it take to work?
Chelation is a process that takes time to successfully complete. To safely chelate the unwanted minerals and metals out of the body, you should not take more than 3 grams of EDTA per day. Although most people start to receive results early in our program, it is important to continue the regimen for the entire 6 weeks. Again, chelation is a process and requires time to safely and effectively cleanse the cardiovascular system.

Are there any side effects?
Very rarely are there any side effects. The following is a list of side effects, and how to treat them if you should experience them:
•    Headaches: This is generally from low blood sugar. Make sure you eat 3 meals per day. A good recommendation is to eat a semi ripe banana if this occurs.
•    Nausea or Upset Stomach: This may happen if you take too large of a dosage or you are taking your doses too close together. Reduce the number of drops per dose by 2 and schedule at least one hour between doses. You also may find relief by taking vitamin B6.
•    Diarrhea: Again, this can be caused by taking too much of a good thing. Reduce the number of drops per dose by 2 and schedule at least one hour between doses.
•    Feeling Light-Headed: This is generally due to a drop in blood pressure. You may feel this if you suffer from high blood pressure and your blood pressure is returning to a normal level as a result of EDTA chelation. Just rest for a hour or so and keep your feet elevated higher than your head. This will allow the blood to flow to the brain.
•    Extreme Fatigue: This is usually caused by a deficiency of the minerals magnesium, zinc and potassium. These are minerals that you may have chelated during therapy. You may require taking a potassium rich supplement. In addition, you should be eating bananas, grapes, peaches and potato skins. This will give you back the minerals that were removed by the EDTA.
•    Cramps: If you experience cramps, it is probably due to the lack of the mineral magnesium. Supplemental magnesium will relieve the cramping.

Alternative medicine becomes more popular every day, especially as the cost of traditional health care continues to rise.  With health care reform being at the forefront, is it time to consider incorporating alternative medicine in the reform?  A recent article by the Health and Science Examiner explores this idea -

Approximately 38 percent of adults use some form of CAM for health and wellness or to treat a variety of diseases and conditions, according to data from the 2007 National Health Interview Survey…..To put these figures in context, the $14.8 billion spent on nonvitamin, nonmineral, natural products is close to only one-third of total out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs, and the $11.9 billion spent on CAM practitioner visits is close to only one-quarter of total out-of-pocket spending on physician visits.

Who knows, patients might use CAM more if their insurance covered it more often.  That must be a scary thought for many.  There is not denying that people are extremely interested in what CAM has to offer.  Things like time to listen to patients, expertise, and cutting-edge understanding of complex conditions.

Assimilation of EDTA is effective when taken via intravenous chelation or oral chelation. When taken orally, EDTA, like other amino acids of similar molecular weight, passes through the stomach unaffected where it is then absorbed directly through the epithelium cells of the duodenum. EDTA has been incorrectly referenced by some who apparently do not understand that the biochemistry and assimilation of proteins (made from chains of amino acids) and unattached Free Form Amino Acids all occurs in the duodenum, being unaffected by the stomach and the gastric juices.

Often misunderstood is the fact that stomach acidity has nothing whatsoever to do with the digestion of proteins, which all takes place via enzymatic reaction later in the duodenum, and that orally consumed Free Form Amino Acids are likewise not affected. In fact, the pH of the stomach when secreting HCL is generally around 3.0 (note: EDTA in solution may exhibit a pH of 4.0 all on its own), which has absolutely no affect on the molecular bonds of Free Form Amino Acids (including EDTA) and thus, cannot and will not destroy them.

All Free Form Amino Acids, including oral liquid EDTA, need no digestive process to enter the bloodstream. They are already small enough molecules to enter the bloodstream immediately; and that’s why they are used so effectively in I.V. parenteral solutions. Thus all Free Form Amino Acids, including liquid EDTA, will pass unharmed and unchanged into the duodenum where they then are directly assimilated into the bloodstream.

A new government study shows mercury in fish is widespread according to the associated press.

No fish can escape mercury pollution. That’s the take-home message from a federal study of mercury contamination released Wednesday that tested fish from nearly 300 streams across the country. The toxic substance was found in every fish sampled, a finding that underscores how widespread mercury pollution has become.
But while all fish had traces of contamination, only about a quarter had mercury levels exceeding what the Environmental Protection Agency says is safe for people eating average amounts of fish. The study by the U.S. Geological Survey is the most comprehensive look to date at mercury in the nation’s streams. From 1998 to 2005, scientists collected and tested more than a thousand fish, including bass, trout and catfish, from 291 streams nationwide.

“This science sends a clear message that our country must continue to confront pollution, restore our nation’s waterways, and protect the public from potential health dangers,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement. Continue reading article >

Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning from mercury include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headaches, and a metallic taste in the mouth. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should see you doctor immediately. Heavy metal poisoning can be very serious. It’s important to begin treatment as soon as possible to minimize long-term damage to the patient’s nervous system and digestive tract.

EDTA chelation therapy can help reduce your chances of heavy metal poisoning from mercury. Chelation therapy binds heavy metals into a complex that can be removed from the body. Although it is a time consuming treatment, intravenous chelation is the most effective way to treat acute heavy metal poisoning, as it delivers the chelator directly into the bloodstream.  The chelator works by binding the metal and forming a complex.  This removes the metal from the tissues that it’s collected in and allows the body to dispose of the new complex as waste.  Visit Cardio Renew to learn more.

Arthritis can be a very painful condition to endure. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include swelling, stiffness and pain in the wrists, hands, feet, elbows, ankles, knees, or neck. Here are four alternative methods to help improve arthritis symptoms.

Vitamins
Vitamin B3 reduces tissue swelling and dilates small arteries, increasing blood flow. Note that Vitamin B3 is NOT advised for persons with high blood pressure, gout or sliver disorders. Vitamin B6 reduces tissue swelling. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant that protects joints from free radicals while increases joint flexibility. Vitamin C acts as an anti-inflammatory, relieving pain, and rids the body of free radicals. Vitamin K assists with mineral deposit into the bone matrix.

Reflexology
Reflexology has been an ancient technique used by the early Egyptians and Chinese. It involves massage to the feet and the palm of the hand to help improve the state of the rest of the body. When massage will be applied to the feet or palm of the hand, it will generate a warm and comforting sensation. This is an ideal method for stress management and overall health maintenance; factors that cause arthritis.

Boron
In countries where there are higher levels of boron in the soil and hence higher levels in produce that people consume, levels of arthritis are lower. The primary source of boron in counties with lowers levels are - fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.  Five servings a day is the minimum you should have to get the level of Boron you need.  Boron supplement could be worth trying - 3mg to 6mg depends on your size, how bad the arthritis is and how much you will change your diet.

EDTA Chelation Therapy
EDTA chelation therapy can also help relieve the pain from arthritis. By removing toxins and heavy metals from the body and increasing blood flow, liquid chelation therapy from Cardio Renew can assist in relieving the symptoms of arthritis.
