CHELATION (pronounced key-LAY-shun)
and Plaquex® Formula
We live in a toxic world, and we are constantly exposed to metal toxins by living in a harmful environment and eating foods that contain these poisons. Some of the most damaging metals found in our systems are lead, mercury, arsenic, etc. These unhealthy metals are slowly accumulating in our organs, and our body’s natural method for excretion can’t keep up with daily exposure and absorption.
There are many studies linking toxins and metals to serious diseases and they may even affect our nervous systems, reproductive systems, and immune systems. Think Chernobyl and the exposure to radioactive particles – all of which were absorbed by people, animals, and plants.
Tringali Vibrant Health uses Chelation as yet another treatment for optimal health. Removing harmful elements out of our system is vital – our bodies can’t recover normally if dangerous metals are overpowering our system.
Chelation’s many benefits (just to list a few):
1. Anti-Aging effects (by removing harmful particles from our bodies, our systems begin to rejuvenate)
2. Cardiovascular Benefits (prevents hardening of arteries by removing calcium and plaque buildup)
3. Candida removal
4. Better absorption of nutrients
5. Detoxifying effects
Chelation therapy has been used as a treatment used in both conventional and alternative medicine for decades. Chelation is a process for removing heavy metals, including mercury, from our bodies through the intravenous injection of a chelation agent. Heavy metals and minerals are bound with this synthetic amino acid and then excreted in the urine.
IV CHELATION
Chelation IV : (1 ½ hours) Chelation Therapy is a combination of supplements that assist the body in detoxification of unwanted and unhealthy environmental chemicals, heavy metals, such as mercury and lead, from the body. This occurs when the main ingredient, Ethylenediaminetetraacetc acid, or EDTA, is injected into the bloodstream where it attaches itself to heavy metals and eliminates them from the body.
*EDTA IS AN FDA-APPROVED TREATMENT FOR LEAD, MERCURY, ALUMINUM, AND CADMIUM POISONING. Chelation is used as part of an integrative treatment plan for addressing chronic degenerative diseases involving the circulatory system and any disease where heavy metal toxins may be an issue (like neuropathy, dementia or hardening of the arteries).
TRIAL TO ACCESS CHELATION THERAPY (TACT)
TACT, a 7-year placebo controlled clinical trial was carried out by university cardiologist and knowledgable chelation physicians. In the field of Functional Medicine, Chelation has been a quite exciting – as well as controversial – alternative therapy.
The TACT study (a double blind study) compared 1709 patients (some with diabetes), and all who had previously had heart attacks, and patients who were already being treated by a cardiologist. These patients were divided into two groups; the first was treated with medication as well as intravenous chelation therapy, and the other was treated with medication only.
The result of the study was significant; There were 18% fewer cardiac events in the first group and 39% fewer cardiac events in diabetics. This first group, treated with chelation, also had fewer surgeries in the months following this study.
Chelation therapy, offered at Tringali Vibrant Health, is strongly supported by the alternative medicine community. It is estimated that over 100,000 people receive chelation therapy each year, and the numbers are growing.
Many studies have shown that chelation therapy is safe when properly administered. Chelation has been known to have positive effects on the body, but this study performed in the United States and Canada between 2002-2011 is a major victory for the alternative medicine community.
Plaquex® Formula
The Plaquex® Formula was created 55 years ago. Its original purpose was to dissolve fatty embolus during and after trauma surgery and to treat liver disease. Today, Plaquex® Formula is used to remove fatty and hardened plaque from blood vessels. It is also applied for general anti-aging purposes with great success.
Plaquex® has been shown to reverse the aging process, especially in the lipid composition of vital organs and tissues, particularly heart cells and red blood cells. Clinical studies on laboratory animals have also shown a 36% increase in average lifespan. Plaquex® Formula improves blood circulation by reducing soft plaque. In doing so it benefits patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, peripheral vascular disease, and liver disease.
Other Plaquex® benefits are:
– clearing blocked arteries
– increased ability to withstand a cardiac arrest
– improvement in cerebral function
– enhanced sexual potency
– reduction of homo-cysteine levels
– improvement of cholesterol levels
– reduction of symptoms of angina pectoris
Helps to prevent or reverse arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) by reducing the free radical generating toxic metals and stimulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) activity, resulting in the removal of calcium and plaque buildup.
