EDTA
In most cases, a course of IV chelation, and/or regular supplementation with calcium EDTA (alone or in formulation with mucopolysaccharides), can be used to improve cardiovascular health and blood flow. EDTA chelation, which strips away or "grabs" calcified plaque off the arterial walls, also strips away other nutrients as well. This can lead to mineral imbalances and also put a strain on the kidneys. So, supplementation (with various forms of calcium and Min-Col) is usually necessary, as is a monitoring of the kidneys.
"Cardiovascular plaque is comprised basically of two components. There is the mineral component that can be removed using EDTA as an anionic surfactant [which increases the amount of solute a liquid can carry], and there is a fibrous component that some enzymes [particularly bromelain, in doses above 2400 gdu per day, and serrapeptase] are able to disassemble."
Excerpts from an Interview with Dr. Gary Gordon:
"But the way in which EDTA affects nitric oxide is only a tiny piece of the whole story because we all have too much lead in our body. There is no escape. So we can state unequivocally that if your heart has too much lead in it then even the pumping function of your heart will be effected. . . . Now we know that the blood flow throughout your whole body—through your capillaries, arteries and veins—is also effected by the level of lead.
When lead levels go up, our body is unable to convert a certain amino acid into nitric oxide. When we eat a good meal we get an amino acid called arginine. In a healthy body—one that isn’t lead toxic—that arginine can be converted into nitric oxide, which would then mean that all the blood vessels would be open and the person would have less angina. … So chelation is absolutely mandatory for cardiovascular health."
Nitric Oxide
"Nitric oxide is an extremely important molecule in our body that was previously called “endothelial relaxing factor.” (This is not the laughing gas that the dentist gives you; that’s nitrous oxide.) Endothelium is the Saran Wrap-like coating that lines the inside of every blood vessel in your body, and if you can make good levels of nitric oxide—or endothelial relaxing factor—then you’re going to have your blood vessels relaxed instead of constricted. And if they’re relaxed then they’re open and they let more blood go through."
Blood Viscosity and Flow
"You once said that the single most important aspect in preventing artery and heart disease is “Blood viscosity.” Do you feel that blood viscosity is still the single most important heart and artery factor that we can influence?"
It is one of the most important . . . All of these can favorably lower blood viscosity. As you know, menstruating women tend to be completely protected against fatal heart attacks. We find this is because routinely menstruating women tend to have extremely favorable low blood viscosity readings. Of course, women tend to outlive men anyway. Many think this is partially due to the lower level of iron women have throughout their lifetime. However, it now appears that the loss of blood itself has another separate action that helps to lower blood viscosity. It seems that this is because the new replacement blood cells are softer and more flexible just as new babies are soft and flexible, and this is less abrasive to the inner lining of the blood vessels as these cells flow through the blood vessels."
Q: How can one improve his/her blood viscosity?
"The obvious and readily controllable factors that we’ve all been aware of include preventing obesity, limiting alcohol consumption, salt intake, smoking, exercise, controlling the epidemic of diabetes and the over-consumption of animal fats, as well as limiting the intake of all trans fats. Even donating blood lowers blood viscosity. What I was so excited to find, however, was that the oral chelation [> specifically, a combination of EDTA and mucopolysaccharides], which I have worked with since my initial collaboration with Dr. Lester Morrison over 20 years ago, was clearly and dramatically improving blood viscosity on all people tested.
This approach has permitted me to safely cancel bypass surgery on every patient that I have treated for the last 20 years. I have yet to hear of the first fatal heart attack occurring in any patient treated with this basically all natural supplement program that we now recognize is lowering blood viscosity without fail. Of course, the omega-3 fatty acid is another key component of this program because no single nutrient is able to eliminate all of the basic causes of death from heart attacks. These include blood clots, arrhythmia and/or vessel spasm. . . .
In his book The Sinatra Solution, Steve Sinatra—who doesn’t even use chelation—says that he’s routinely canceling heart transplants. I have been able to cancel every heart transplant, because I use all the things that Steve talks about—the carnitine, the alpha lipoic acid, and the ribose—in addition to chelation. The ribose, the magnesium, and the coenzyme Q-10 are important. Ribose is a big story. It is a five carbon sugar. Normally we’re against sugar, but here’s a sugar that takes no effort for the body to convert into the currency of energy called ATP."

Nitric Oxide (NO)
Nitric Oxide or NO is a powerful arterial agent that relaxes blood vessels and improves cardiovascular health. >> Ways to Increase Nitric Oxide (NO)
Zeta Potential
The simplest and most effect way to increase Zeta Potential (and flowability and "discreteness" of the blood) is to take potassium citrate. The simplest way to do this is to place 1.5 grams of potassium citrate in 1.5 liters of water and drink throughout the day. The regulated drinking of lemon water (which contains potassium citrate), as used in the Carey Reams program, also increases Zeta Potential. In addition, lemon water supports the liver and usually decreases blood-sugar levels.
You Must Avoid Aluminum . . .
"In your water, your food, and in things you put "in" and "on" your body. Aluminum is used to treat waste water. It is added to waste water to cause materials to come out of solution and settle to the bottom of the tank. The same thing can happen inside your body. 3–4 parts per million of aluminum in our blood will cause materials to come out of the blood plasma solution forming plaque on blood vessel walls. It also causes blood cells to clump together, thereby blocking blood flow to organs — causing strokes, heart attacks and other problems! The reason this happens is because aluminum has a strong [and harmful] effect on Zeta Potential. . . Aluminum is used in many vaccinations as a stabilizer and is known to cause learning disabilities. It can also STOP CELL DIVISION during the "S Phase. As such, aluminum is especially harmful to children."
