How
Heavy Metals can Cause Artherosclerosis and
Premature Aging
Most heavy metals are carcinogenic, mutagenic, damage mitochondrial function and enhance Free Radical Damage. Published Scientific Studies link the following health conditions to Toxic Heavy Metals: ADD and ADHD, Allergies, Alzheimer's Disease, Anemia, Anxiety or Panic Attacks, Arthritis, Atrial Fibrillation, Autism, Autoimmune Disorders, Cancer, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic or Recurrent Infections- Bacterial, Viral, Fungal and Parasitic, Chronic Pain, Congestive Heart Failure, Depression, Diabetes, Diarrhea, Emphysema, Encephalopathy, Epilepsy, Gout, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Hypertension, Hypoglycemia, Hypothyroidism, Infertility, Ischemic Heart Disease, Kidney Disease, Leukemia, Liver Disease, Loss of Equilibrium, Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), Mental Retardation, Migraine Headaches, Multiple Sclerosis, Polyneuropathy, Porphyria, Reynaud's Syndrome, Schizophrenia, Sleep Disorders, Violent Behavior, Suppression of Immune Function.
Toxic Metals Cause Cellular Oxidation & Free Radicals
In nature, oxygen will easily snatch electrons from molecules. When molecules give up electrons, this is called oxidation. Because most everything in nature is exposed to oxygen, most everything in nature undergoes the process of oxidation.
Basically, things exposed to oxygen oxidize. To give you a good example of this process, just think about a hunk of iron left out in the back yard. Over a period of a few weeks, that iron will have a thin coating of rust on its surface. How did that happen? Essentially the electrons in the molecules of iron freely gave themselves up to the oxygen around them.
Well guess what? We breathe oxygen. And over time we oxidize - or you could say we rust. Though we don't necessarily turn brown with actual rust, we do get age spots, gray hair, wrinkles, aches and pains and are subject to various disease processes. This is evidence of oxidation - part of the aging process.
Oxidation is a natural chemical process that occurs in all cells. However, uncontrolled oxidation is harmful to cells and can kill them. Most anti-cancer treatments, from radiation therapy to chemotherapy, produce oxidative events to kill cancer cells.
Free radicals are a type of highly reactive molecule that causes oxidation in cells. Cells generally make proteins, known as antioxidants, that have the ability to "mop up" the harmful free radicals and thus prevent injury to the cell.
Oxidation in the human body is associated with little molecules known as free radicals. When atoms come together, they form molecules. How those molecules are formed is through the joining together of the atom electrons. Electrons like to be in pairs. If something comes along (like oxygen) and strips an electron off this molecule, that molecule now has a free, unpaired electron. Now this makes for a very unhappy little electron because it is missing its partner. It now behaves very radical-hence the name free radical. When this happens in the body, that free radical will look to find an electron anywhere it can. If it finds one on a good cell, it will snatch an electron from that cell, damaging it in the process and thereby creating another free radical. This process is repeated in infinitum until the free radical meets up with a molecule that has an extra electron that it can donate to the equation to stop the reaction.
It's impossible to be alive and not have some oxidative damage, because free radicals are produced by normal processes in the body, such as the production of energy and immune function. Free radicals also come from environmental sources including heavy metals, household chemicals, ultraviolet radiation, tobacco smoke, food additives, foods that have been fried in oil that's been used over and over again (typical in many fast-food restaurants), and other pollutants. Once free radicals are released, they will multiply exponentially in chain reactions, unless they are stopped by antioxidants.
Free radical attack is one of the main causes of atherosclerosis and premature aging.15
When a free radical comes in contact with the inner lining of your arteries, microscopic injuries result. This process is called lipid peroxidation (the process that causes fats to become rancid) and is recognized as one of the underlying causes of atherosclerosis. Eventually the build-up of fat, cholesterol, toxic metals and other substances at the site of injury narrows the arteries. The key is to neutralize free radicals before they damage your arteries ... and that's done with antioxidants.
Antioxidants are the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, or other chemical compounds- such as Detoxamin with Ca-EDTA- that give up an electron to stop the production of free radicals. And Detoxamin with Ca-EDTA actually reduces free radicals even before they have a chance to get started. Here's how: When metals, minerals and other toxins are in the body, they act as the catalyst for oxidation reactions, including lipid peroxidation. This triggers the production of free radicals.
But patented Detoxamin introduces and circulates Ca-EDTA in areas no other chelation method can-by removing the metals and minerals before they get a chance to catalyze, or start the oxidation reactions. The result? The production of free radicals is dramatically reduced and their destructive influence is prevented - which means DNA and cells stay healthy - so YOU stay healthier and live longer!
Heavy Metal Overload in the walls of coronary arteries seems to decrease levels of nitric oxide, a compound known as "Endothelial Relaxing Factor,"- without this substance normal blood flow is impeded therefore increasing the risk of vascular blockages. Heavy Metal Overload in the adrenal glands reduces the production of hormones, which cause early aging, stress, decreased sex drive and aggravation of menopausal symptoms. Heavy Metal Overload can lead to unresponsiveness of diabetics to their medications. Heavy Metal Overload can lead to neurological diseases such as depression and loss of thinking power. It can also aggravate conditions such as osteoporosis and hypothyroidism. For obvious reasons, removing metals from the body safely has been a concern of physicians for many years.
