High Blood Pressure – A Solution Without Drugs
Most older adults know that blood pressure over--0/90 is considered high blood pressure and that healthy blood pressure is 120/80 or lower. But what does that mean? The first number is the systolic blood pressure, which means the pressure of blood against the artery walls when the heart beats. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure - the pressure of the blood when the heart is at rest (in between beats). Blood pressure goes high when the flow of blood encounters resistance in the arteries.
An Explanation of Chelation
Chelation (pronounced key-LAY-shun) is a process in which chemicals unite with minerals. It comes from the Greek chele, which means "claw." Like a claw, a chelation agent will grab and chemically bond with minerals, metals or poisons. The process occurs naturally in a body (blood hemoglobin unites with iron and thus oxygen is provided to parts of the body). Man first created chelation agents during World War II to rid the body of toxic metals. Scientists synthesized a ring of molecules which encircled mineral molecules and eliminated them from the body.
