Heart Health?...What Are Your Chances for a Heart Problem?Heart Health? . . . If you are 65 or older, there's a one in three chance you're already dealing with a heart problem. In fact, about six people every minute of every day suffer a cardiac event. Don't simply mask the symptoms! Instead scrub the dangerous plaque forming in your arteries. For optimum heart, brain and total body health, you must keep your arteries clear of plaque. Plaque is made up of microscopic cholesterol molecules, bound together and attached to your arteries via a calcium "glue". When this plaque starts to build up, it can cause serious heart health problems.
A high blood level of homocysteine is a potent risk factor for a first heart event!Evidence suggests that homocysteine may promote fatty deposits in blood vessels by damaging the inner lining of arteries and promoting blood clots.And to raise concerns even further, a study by Boston University, reported by the National Institutes of Health and The New England Journal of Medicine, February 14, 2002, showed that people with elevated levels of homocysteine are at nearly DOUBLE the risk of age-related mental decline.
Some Natural Heart Health Solutions can be Very Effective!Numerous studies have proven that Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, and TMG — nature’s four most powerful homocysteine fighters—can give you a powerful defense against heart and circulatory problems and more…PLUS, several studies reported in major medical journals show that Vitamin B6 can reduce your risk of blood clots in the lower leg and thigh. These clots can break off and travel through the blood stream, lodging in the brain, lungs, heart, or other area and cause severe damage to that organ. And according to studies reported by Vitamin Research News, Vitamin B6 may help to avoid abnormal blood clotting that can lead to heart muscle damage and chest pain. _____________________________________________________________
Folic Acid is critical: According to the Archives of Internal Medicine, “Folate supplements can reduce total homocysteine levels by approximately 25 percent.” A landmark study published in Human Reproduction in 2004 showed that folic acid may help to avoid abnormal blood clotting by lowering elevated homocysteine levels. In addition, Folic Acid also lowers the risk of a sudden and often fatal rupture of an artery, primarily by helping lower elevated homocysteine levels. AND, according to a 2004 article published in the British Medical Journal, men who consume relatively large amounts of folic acid have a significantly reduced risk of developing a blood clot in the brain. What’s more, according to a 2002 article in the American Journal of Epidemiology, “…studies have indicated that people with a low daily intake of Folic Acid have a 69 percent greater risk of a heart problem than people who consume 400 mcg or more of Folic Acid per day. In a 1998 report, the Archives of Internal Medicine agreed: “A general increase in consumption of the vitamin folic acid [which reduces serum homocysteine levels] would, therefore, be expected to reduce mortality from devastating heart problems.” ________________________________________________________________
Vitamin B12 takes your anti-homocysteine into overdrive: Vitamin B12 (400– 1,000 micrograms per day) may help to protect you against many types of cardiovascular events by lowering elevated homocysteine levels. Excessive homocysteine is a risk factor for many serious heart problems. Many studies have shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that Vitamin B12 may help fend off heart problems by lowering toxic levels of homocysteine… and protect against the after effects of a blockage of blood flow to the brain… TMG is also one of nature’s most potent homocysteine fighters: TMG—a form of betaine—helps avoid cardiovascular events by helping lower homocysteine. It’s also believed to be helpful in avoiding serious liver problems. ______________________________________________________________

Chelation can help protect you from heart and brain problems and help eliminate heart troubles. Once only available in the doctor's office as an I.V. treatment, chelation therapy can now be as simple as taking a capsule or liquid. In fact, one amino acid in particular, EDTA, has been given to more than 1.5 million heart patients over the past 57 years with phenomenal results. Now, clinical studies have confirmed that EDTA is a natural way to help ensure clean arteries. Oral Chelation starts working quickly to help flush plaque out of your arteries. In addition, oral chelation is also a natural way to help regulate your blood pressure and cholesterol.
