Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 - http://www.gordonresearch.com/beyond_chelation1.htm - Beyond Chelation Finally- a long awaited Oral Chelation for Heart Disease and Anti-Aging Dr. Garry Gordon of Payson, Arizona, one of the fathers of the Chelation Therapy movement, has recently developed a cardiovascular nutritional supplement called " Beyond Chelation " . This supplement combines more than 60 ingredients known to have beneficial effects into one total cardiovascular support program. " The name of this new product states exactly what it is, " says Dr. Gordon. " It's what the public should be taking if they've already had chelation or can't afford it, or simply want to take advantage of new breakthroughs that permit us to safely and effectively reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. " In addition to promoting heart health, Dr. Gordon has found that his supplement has multiple anti-aging effects. Along with Dr. Dean Ornish of Sausalito, California, who demonstrated in a five-year study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, that heart disease could be reversed, Dr. Gordon believes that vascular disease can be arrested and cured. However, for those unable to stick to an extremely low-fat diet (below 9% in total fat content) and the meditation and exercise mandated in Dr. Ornish's program. Beyond Chelation may provide similar effects. In his own practice, Dr .Gordon has been able to document significant improvements of blood flow to the legs, head and heart of patients experiencing problems of clot, spasm and arrhythmia with the use of use oral chelation formula so that fewer than 5% have had to have heart surgery. J.W., a male patient in his mid-50s from Curacao in the Dutch West Indies, came to Dr. Gordon after a series of monthly small recurring strokes . An arteriogram showed that the had bilateral high-grade obstructions in both carotid arteries. After learning that surgery for his condition itself involved high odds of stroke, he decided to have Dr.Gordon treat his condition. Since being placed on oral chelation therapy six years ago, he had no further incidents of stroke. Dr. G.K., a 78-year-old female surgeon from Vienna, went to see Dr. Gordon when informed that she was facing heart valve surgery. She began oral chelation therapy, as well as intravenous treatments and has been able to forestall surgery for years. She has been experiencing shortness of breath and high blood pressure, but theses conditions have been reversed and she has been able to return to a full active functioning in her post-retirement avocation as a judge in dog shows. Another patient, B.K., age 32, went to Dr. Gordon after three operations for angioplasty. After each one, his angina recurred within months. He has stayed on oral chelation for years with no further recurrences. Dr. Gordon began his research more than 15 years ago when he worked with Dr., Lester Morrison of La Loma Medical School in Los Angeles, a pioneer who first discovered the involvement of cholesterol in heart disease. Dr. Morrison had documented a better than 70% reduction in second heart attacks using nutritional supplement known as the Morrison Heart Formula. Dr. Gordon's first addition to Dr. Morrison's formula was EDTA. Widely used in the American food supply to reduce free radical reactions in food, EDTA also lowers cholesterol, enhances Vitamin C anti-oxidant properties, and surpasses the activity of aspirin and Coumadin in preventing blood clotting, without side effects of internal bleeding, according to Dr. Gordon. His supplements have now been further enhanced by the addition of red yeast and beta sitosterol as well as a unique combination of Grape Seed Extract (OPCs), EPA, MSM, Phosphatidyl Serine, Red Algae and Ginkgo Biloba, organic garlic and more than 50 other ingredients. " We now understand far better that arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries is an extremely complex process, " says Dr. Gordon. " The precise causes in each individual may be extremely varied. In some people, vascular disease is caused by diabetes and for others by homocysteinuria. Other people may have seriously disturbed lipid values, and research has shown that there is a benefit to maintaining a low level of circulating lipids including cholesterol and triglycerides. New research is demonstrating that vascular disease in some people may even caused by infection with chlamydia pneumonia or CMV (cytomegalovirus). " Dr. Gordon's support program utilizes virtually every nutrient with the exception of coenzyme Q10 (which he advises taking in conjunction with his formula) recognized to have beneficial effects in heart and vascular disease. Among the ingredients and their properties are the following: ALPHA LIPOIC ACID: An antioxidant which facilitates the metabolism of Vitamin C, E and glutathione. EPA: Essential fatty acids like those naturally occurring in some fish. " The benefits of these can be best summarized by pointing out that the mere ingestion of salmon twice a week has been shown to reduce the overall mortality from heart attacks by more than 40%. " says Dr. Gordon. " The deficiency in our diet of this essential nutrient is widely recognized, and it's use in preventing thrombosis or hypercoagulable states in the bloodstream is well documented. " GLA (GAMMA-LINOLENIC) ACID): Essential fatty acids which also help prevent thrombosis and the excessive tendency to blood clotting implicated in heart disease. OMEGA 3, 6 AND 9:More than 25% of the adult American population has low levels of omega 3 or omega 6, which modulate essential fatty acids (EFA). GRAPE SEED EXTRACT: This is said to be the heart of the so-called " French Paradox " - the fact that despite a diet rich in cream, butter and such foods as foie gras, French rates of heart disease are lower than those in the United States. Grape seed contains OPCs (oligomeric phenolic compounds), which enhance anti-oxidants activity and are also anti-inflammatory and anti-viral. They are believed to be more powerful than Vitamin C, E, or beta-carotene and are also very potent chelating agents. GINGKO BILOBA: Reduces the cholesterol concentration present in the arterial wall and protects against all nerve degenerative diseases, among other beneficial effects. ORGANIC GARLIC :Reduces total cholesterol as well as LDL cholesterol, lowers blood pressure and is anti-viral. RED YEAST: Lipid-lowering; reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. And more than 50 other ingredients. " A significant portion of our formula is directed to decreasing platelet reactivity with the consequent obvious diminution in the occurrence of atherosclerotic lesions, " says Dr. Gordon. " I believe that the total package of nutrients in Beyond Chelation protects against the major causes of acute cardiovascular mortality today as effectively as is possible within a nutritionally based program. " In addition to it's beneficial effects on heart health, Dr .Gordon has found that his preparation has general anti-aging properties. In his practice, he has found that patients taking his supplement experience improvement in all measures of biological age testing his including visual acuity, lung function, liver and kidney function, reflexes, hearing and brain recall.
