CARDIO CARE - Frequently Asked Questions

What if I am taking this specifically for heavy metal?

You will need an instruction sheet specific to heavy metal. Please notify us upon ordering Cardio Care that your intended purpose is to rid your body of heavy metal. We will include an instruction sheet with your order or e-mail it to you.

Why should I consider using Cardio Care?

Over the years, through our diets and environment, we build up a measure of plaque, cholesterol, and calcium - some of us more rapidly then others. In addition, no matter how organic a life we try to live, we are all exposed to metals in the environment which also find their way into our bloodstream and can remain. Eventually, this build up can cause a host of ailments, some debilitating. Care Care cleans your 75,000 miles of veins and arteries, the entire cardiovascular system. As a result nutrient-rich blood reaches and revitalizes all areas of your body. Our customers are often surprised to find health issues clear up which they previously assumed to be unrelated to circulatory health.

An especially pressing issue - the American Heart Association reports heart disease to be the number one killer of both men and woman. Care Care is worth seriously consideration if you, or members of your family, have any heart health issues or concerns.

What are some other benefits of chelation therapy?

Because calcification is an ongoing process in the body and chelation therapy helps to not only reduce calcium deposits but also to increase blood flow throughout the entire circulatory system, there are many benefits from chelation therapy, these include:

- Lowering of blood pressure
- Increased circulation in the outer extremities (hands, feet & penis)
- Reduced chance for heart attacks and strokes
- Relief from arthritic pain
- Lower cholesterol levels
- Improved liver and kidney function
- Reduced symptoms of such diseases as Parkinsons, Alzheimers, cataracts, Glaucoma, diabetes, diabetic gangrene, cirrhosis, heavy metal poisoning, varicose veins, osteoporosis, angina and many other health problems related to reduced blood flow.

Oral chelation can be used as:

A preventative measure to avoid complications and diseases that result from heavy metals and calcification.
Preventative measure to prevent clots from forming, reducing your chance of a heart attack.
Lowering of blood cholesterol
Helps to thin the blood safely - no side effects or danger of bleeding
Aids in reducing lipid peroxidation
Contributes to the protection of the body against certain carcinogens, pathogens and other toxins that can reduce our quality of health.
Oral chelation is also very useful for those people who have completed an intravenous EDTA chelation program and want to stay on a maintenance program. It is also useful for those people who, for whatever reason cannot tolerate the invasive procedure of IV chelation, or for those who's IV treatments are interrupted.

Does chelation remove other minerals from the body?

Yes, although it does tend to work most effectively with metallic minerals that have 2 positive electrical charges such as lead and mercury and calcium (which is a mineral but which also has 2 positive charges in its ionic state). It is for this reason that chelation therapy has been the treatment of choice for heavy metal poisoning for many years. EDTA however is a non specific chelator so it will decrease levels of zinc, magnesium, chromium, copper and other minerals. It is for this reason that it is very important to make sure that you supplement these minerals back into the body, especially zinc and magnesium.

Does Chelation lower the levels of calcium in bones and teeth?

No, in fact it can increase bone calcium. The reason is this - when the chelating substance removes calcium from the blood stream, the body will automatically start pulling calcium from other parts of the body to make up for the loss in the blood. (Serum calcium needs to stay at a constant level for heart function).

The most available calcium is the calcium that is deposited in the arterial walls known as calcium apatite. Other areas of the body also surrender their calcium; these are calcium deposits that are in arthritic joints, tendons, kidneys stones, underneath skin and calcified bursae that can often lead to bursitis. At the same time, the EDTA also stimulates the parathyroid to release a hormone called parathormone. Parathormone activates 2 types of bone cells, the osteoclasts and the osteoblasts. The osteoclasts break down bones and release calcium and the osteoblasts will then build new bone, making the bones stronger.

This bone building process continues for months after chelation therapy providing you with the added benefit of increased bone mass while still removing the excess calcium that is deposited in unwanted areas of the body such as the arteries and joints.

Women have reported the reversal of bone loss in as little as two months using EDTA Oral Chelation.

Osteoporosis - Taking calcium for osteoporosis can lead to more cardiovascular and arthritis problems. To manage Osteoporosis you need specific metalo-enzymes for calcium and phosphorus. Cardio Care stimulates the parathyroid to release those needed enzymes.

What if I am on a blood thinner?

A 31 page supplement published in the British medical journal, Lancet, November of 1996, pointed out that common anticlotting therapies such as Aspirin and Coumadin are effective against only about one third of the cases of excessive platelet aggregation and coagulation. None of them gets at the whole problem. EDTA, on the other hand, appears to have effects against all clotting mechanisms, acting as a preventative in keeping the blood sufficiently thin so that one does not fall victim to heart attack & stroke. Using EDTA, as a superior and alternative blood thinner, you do not run the risks of bleeding or developing ulcers as one can with Coumadin or Aspirin. However, be sure to communicate with your prescribing physician if you seek to change your level of these medications.

What if I am taking medication for High Blood Pressure?

Cardio Care assists in the lowering of high blood pressure. Please maintain contact with your doctor and check your blood pressure frequently while using Cardio Care. You will likely find it necessary to speak with your physician about adjusting your medication. As blockages are reduced and removed, blood pressure normalizes. Under physician care, our customers report termination their use of blood pressure medications at an appropriate point.

As an analogy, suppose you have a garden hose turned on outside. The water flows out the end in a nice, straight stream. If you were to take your hand and pinch the hose in the middle, 2 things happen. 1. The water squirts out erratically from the end, and 2. pressure builds up between your hand and the wall. When you take Cardio Care, it is much like releasing the pinch on the hose, where the flow out the end of the hose restores to normal and the pressure subsides on the back end of the hose. The same occurs with the arteries in the body. If you are taking a medication that lowers blood pressure, and taking Cardio Care, you run the risk of your blood pressure dropping to low. Please check your blood pressure regularly while taking Cardio Care. If this occurs, please contact your physician, let him/her know that you are taking an oral chelation product and that you may need to look at adjusting your medication.

What if I am taking medication for Type 2 Diabetes?

Cardio Care assists in the normalizing high blood sugar levels. To avoid the risk of your blood sugar levels dropping too low, please maintain contact with your doctor and check your blood sugar levels frequently while using Cardio Care. If this occurs, please contact your physician, let him/her know that you are taking an oral chelation product and that you may need to look at adjusting your medication.

Will it interfere with any other drugs?

No, EDTA is compatible with pharmaceutical drugs including the currently widely used calcium blockers. EDTA has been widely used as a stabilizer in foods so it has a very safe record.

How does oral chelation compare to other methods?

The medical industry proposes Angioplasty and Bypass surgeries as methods for treating blockages. These options come at great risk and trauma to the body. They are traumatic and costly, and often need to be repeated at further risk to the patient. IV chelation is also invasive and costly, and can be very painful and cause negative side effects. Oral chelation is, by miles, the most cost effective and non-invasive option. Please see Product Comparison for more information.

Should I worry about pieces of plaque breaking off?

Cardio Care delivers EDTA gradually, incrementally, and does not break away plaque. Cardio Care sands away and dissolves plaque (plaque occurs when calcium and cholesterol combine). Plaque then exits the body through the kidneys and bowel.

Can it cause blood clots?

Cardio Care will not cause a blood clot and is compatible with clotting medication. Blood clots often form from little tears in veins and arteries which can be caused by plaque. Cardio Care removes plaque and works against clotting.

Are there any side effects with oral chelation?

Side effects are few with oral chelation, some people may experience

mild stomach upset, diarrhea, dull headaches. This can be a normal part of cleansing and will subside. The formulation for Cardio Care includes enzymes which allow it to process easily. Occasionally, if one is detoxing heavy metals, a mild rash may also occur.

In what form does Cardio Care come?

Cardio Care comes in a powder concentrate with a measuring spoon for proper dosage. It is the only oral chelation product taken sublingually (under the tongue) which allows for a 60% absorption rate (as opposed to 5 - 18 in other oral chelation). If need be, it can also be taken diluted in water. Please e-mail us for directions.

What about depleting calcium from bones in osteoporosis?

Taking calcium for osteoporosis can lead to more cardiovascular and arthritis problems. To manage Osteoporosis you need specific metalo-enzymes for calcium and phosphorus. Cardio Care stimulates the parathyroid to release those needed enzymes.

What if I have already undergone IV Chelation treatments?

You can use Cardio Care after or between IV treatments. Do not use both methods simultaneously. Our customers report a much better experience and quickly progress with Cardio Care.

How does Cardio Care differ from other oral chelation products on the market?

There are a handful of oral chelation products on the market. Some come cheap and fall far short of a thorough cleanse. For the same amount of our primary ingredient, Cardio Care is actually more cost effective. Cardio Care contains the finest, purest ingredients available and includes protective enzymes for the intestines. See Product Comparison for a detailed comparison.

How many bottles of Cardio Care will I need, and how often will I need to use Cardio Care?

Each person is different. Many customers, after their initial cleanse, use Cardio Care on a maintenance basis - a small dose each day. While daily maintenance is a beneficial option, it is not required. Because Cardio Care provides a high absorption rate, many individuals feel that one bottle provides a great improvement in their health. Others with more serious condition may feel they need up to 3 or 4. Many people choose to start off with just one or two and make the determination to continue consecutively with another bottle or wait until a later time. Dr. Pinch suggests using one bottle every few months. You can certainly decide according to your individual needs. Please be sure to get regular check ups and use Cardio Care according to your particular needs.

Can I take Cardio Care with Viral-X or Immun-All?

Yes, but for maximum effectiveness, do not take a dose of Cardio Care and a dose of Viral-X or Immun-All together. Cardio Care should be taken according to directions on an empty stomach. Viral-X or Immun-All may be taken later with food. This allows time for each to fully assimilate. If you would like to use all three products, we suggest a three step program for maximum heath.

1. First, use Cardio Care first to cleanse the cardiovascular system. With plaque and calcium out of the way, everything else you do will be much more effective. Even the nutritious foods you eat will assimilate much better. (Each bottle of Cardio Care will take about 25 days to consume.)
2. Second,use a Viral-X cleanse to remove any dormant or active viruses and toxins from your body. Viral-X will also dissolve blood clots. The amount of Viral-X you choose will depend on the severity of your health issues. (A cleanse with one bottle of Viral-X will take 2 weeks. If you have chronic viral issues, you may choose to take more at a slower rate.)
3. Finally, use Immun-All to build up your Immune system, strengthen internal organs, and balance the nervous system. (Each bottle contains about 84 capsules.)

Next, we recommend allowing your body to work on its own for a while. Maintain regular check-ups and use our products only as you feel you need them. Our products work very well to cleanse, repair, and boost your body’s own defense mechanisms. They are not designed for dependency.

Is Cardio Care safe for elderly people?

Yes. Cardio Care is a synergistic combination of amino acids that the body recognizes and finds compatible.

Is there anybody who should not take oral chelation?

Chelation is naturally taking place within your body on a daily basis from many foods that we eat, so everybody is benefiting from some chelation. However, pregnant or lactating women and people with kidney disease should check with their physician before starting a chelation program.
