HEART
DISEASE
Heart and circulatory disease is the number one killer in America today. Heart disease and
strokes kill over a million people each year -- more than accidents, cancer, diabetes,
pneumonia and influenza combined!
The circulatory system is one of the most critical systems in the body
for our overall health. It supplies all the organs and tissues with oxygen and nutrients
and carries away the waste products of metabolism. The heart and brain need enormous
amounts of oxygen to function properly. Senility and heart disease (as often seen in older
people) usually comes as a primary result of decreased circulation.
Atherosclerosis is a condition of plaque build-up in the medium and
larger sized arteries. Research indicates that there must be some form of injury to the
lining and/or muscle tissue of the arteries for atherosclerosis to even begin. Because
free radicals definitely cause irritation, inflammation and cellular destruction, it is
believed that they can cause injury to the walls of the arteries allowing plaque to begin
building up. Therefore, supplementing with substances that counteract free radicals only
makes sense.
The liver produces a protein called fibrinogen. It circulates in the
blood and when it comes in contact with damaged or diseased tissue, it is changed into
fibrin protein and sticks to the damaged tissue to form a clot. When free radicals cause
injury to the lining of arteries, the fibrin protein sticks to the injured wall and forms
a sticky net, which traps cholesterol type compounds, heavy metals and other substances.
As the lining heals, the proteolytic enzymes in the blood are then supposed to break down
the fibrin. Individuals who have a lower activity of proteolytic enzymes have a greater
chance of developing excess blood clots and atherosclerosis.
ANABOLIC
AND CATABOLIC
Cardio-Chelex is the only product of its kind because it is catabolically balanced and
contains proteolytic enzymes, plus natural chelating vitamins and amino acids. Recent
innovative research shows that all metabolism (the chemical reactions in the body) fall
into one of two categories: (1) anabolic, or building-up processes, and; (2) catabolic, or
tearing down processes. The formation of a blood clot is an example of an anabolic process
because it "builds" the clot. In time, the clot must be "broken down"
(a catabolic process) by the proteolytic enzymes. If the body is too anabolic, the clots
and plaque will remain and begin to accumulate.
It has been shown that both atherosclerosis and hypertension are
correlated with too much anabolic activity which builds up plaque in the arteries.
Cardio-Chelex contains many special nutrients that support catabolic activity. For this
reason, several anabolic nutrients are intentionally not included in Cardio-Chelex.
Cardio-Chelex is not designed as a multiple vitamin like TVM-49™. It is formulated with
specific nutrients for specific effect. However, when taken in the morning and with
Support Tabs™ in the afternoon, you receive the value of a multiple type supplement as
well as the advantage of the separate formulas.
Prolonged stress causes the body to produce excess fatty acids and
remain too catabolic. The body then reacts by producing excessive anabolic sterols like
cholesterol, which can become trapped in the sticky fibrin on the cell walls. One
important reason exercise is so important in preventing cardiovascular disease is because
it burns the excess fatty acids produced in reaction to stress, thus less anabolic sterols
are produced in the body. The special catabolically balanced nutrients in Cardio-Chelex,
combined with a reasonable amount of exercise, is a winning combination in the prevention
of heart disease.
Cardio-Chelex contains special nutrients that work synergistically for
the overall nutritional support of the circulatory and immune systems. They can be
classified as (1) catabolic sulfur containing amino acids, (2) proteolytic enzymes, (3)
vitamins, (4) minerals, (5) herbs, (6) natural chelating nutrients, (7) antioxidants, (8)
free radical scavengers, and (9) immune stimulants.
PHYTOZYME
BASE
CARDIO-CHELEX is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a
unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from
plants.
When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of
receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained
in them.
HOW TO TAKE
CARDIO-CHELEX
If you are under 40 and in relatively good health, five tablets once a day, first thing in
the morning, is recommended. If you are over 40, your family has a history of heart
problems, or you have a special need, take 5 tablets twice a day, first thing in the
morning and mid-day. Some individuals may notice an "uncomfortable feeling" at
first when they begin taking Cardio-Chelex as it begins pulling pollutants and toxins out
of the body. If this happens to you, wait two days and start again with one tablet daily
for two days and then increase by one tablet every two or three days. Five tablets in the
morning plus five tablets around mid-day is the ideal amount. Certain nutrients are
intentionally deleted for specific effect. Combined with SUPPORT TABS™ as in the Life
Plus Q- Pak™, you get the best of both worlds. That is, you get the advantages of the
specific effects of both products plus all the value of a multiple as well.
