Why doesn't my doctor know about nutritional arterial cleansing?

Nutrition is not taught to any significant extent in medical schools, so graduating doctors may not believe that it is very important. Also, most doctors are so busy with their practices that they have little time to keep up with the tremendous volume of scientific research that is being published every year. Nevertheless, more and more doctors are gradually becoming aware of nutritional arterial cleansing.

Are there any drugs in the Arterial Cleansing Formula?

All of the ingredients in the arterial cleansing supplement are natural food factors:  vitamins, minerals, amino acids and glandular concentrates - in a safe and effective balance.

What is the best way to take the tablets?

In divided amounts with meals. If you were taking 10 tablets per day, for example, you could take 3 with breakfast, 3 with lunch and 4 with supper or 5 with breakfast and 5 with supper. It is important that the tablets be in the stomach with food at the same time. In that way, the nutrients in the tablets can assist and support the nutrients in the meal, and vice - versa. It makes for better digestion, absorption and assimilation of all of the vital factors. For best results, do not take the tablets on an empty stomach.

Are there any side effects to arterial cleansing?

Not as such. The ingredients in the formula are natural and safe. About five per cent of people, however, may have temporary cleansing reactions to the supplements. Such reactions may include headaches, nausea indigestion, diarrhea, fatigue or intestinal gas.  This should last than no more than five to ten days or so. These signs occur because of beneficial changes in the intestinal flora and the release of debris into the bloodstream. When they occur, such symptoms are evidence that a cleansing process is taking place and was needed.

Will the arterial cleansing process pull away chunks of plaque that could plug up the arteries further downstream?

No. That is not the way the process works. The plaque does not come away in "chunks".  It is scrubbed away, safely and gradually, with a detergent - like action. There are enough emulsifiers ( such as choline and methionine ) in the Arterial Cleansing Formula to keep fats in solution so that they do not plug up elsewhere.

Does nutritional arterial cleansing work the same way that intravenous chelation does?

Technically, no. It accomplishes the same result but by a different method. Nutritional arterial cleansing works by helping to normalize body chemistry so that natural immune processes can remove the plaque in an entirely natural way. One of the main ways that this happens is by the internal production of the enzyme, lipoprotein lipase, which dissolves the fats in the arterial plaque. E.D.T.A. chelation therapy, on the other hand, works by removing calcium and heavy metals from the arterial plaque.

Will the Arterial Cleansing Formula conflict with any prescription drugs I am taking?

If you are on a prescribed medication, you need to have it monitored by your doctor. As your body gradually improves on the arterial cleansing program, your will likely need to less of your prescribed drugs. Be sure to report your progress to your doctor so that s/he can alter your medication accordingly.  There is no known conflict between the arterial cleansing nutrients and any drug, with the possible exception of antibiotics  These are best taken two hours apart from the nutritional supplements, simply because the antibiotics and the vitamins tend to cancel each other out. Your doctor and your pharmacist are best qualified to counsel you about your drugs. The nutrients themselves are safe.

How long will it take to start to feel any results on the arterial cleansing program?

That is a variable. We are all different. Some people start to notice slight improvements within a week or so. Almost everyone finds some results within four weeks.

How long do I need to take the arterial cleansing supplements for best results?

Optimal arterial cleansing usually takes about one month for every ten years of age. In other words, a person aged 40 would probably benefit by taking the Arterial Cleansing Formula at full daily amounts for at least four months.  However, since the formula is such a complete food supplement many people prefer to use it as a total maintenance program for the rest of their lives.  Some choose to take full dosages, others at half the usual recommended amounts per day.

I am scheduled for bypass surgery in three weeks time. Should I call off the surgery and try the arterial cleansing program instead?

That is a judgment call that only you can make. Legally, no one except a medial doctor can recommend for, or against, surgery. It is very unlikely that nutritional arterial cleansing would be able to remove significant blockages in only a three week time frame. If the surgery could safely be postponed for at least three months or so, that would give you more time to try the nutritional approach. If you do decide to go ahead with the surgery, continued nutritional arterial cleansing will better fortify your body to go through the operation, to heal faster, to prevent plaque from recurring at the sites of the surgery, and to remove plaque in areas not accessible to the surgeon.

Which works better, E.D.T.A. chelation therapy or nutritional arterial cleansing?

Both are effective at removing arterial plaque. Some people respond better to one method than the other. Neither is clearly superior to the other. Only the nutritional method, however, can actually prevent the plaque from returning by continually supporting the body's own immune processes. Some advocates of intravenous chelation, however, do not have much confidence in the nutritional approach. That may be because they have no experience with it, or perhaps because they have noticed disappointing results from taking inferior nutritional formulas that were incapable of living up to the claims made for them. If you have both the resources and the opportunity, by all means, try both approaches and judge for yourself. It is much easier to be objective about an issue if you have lived both sides if it.

Are all arterial cleansing supplements equally effective?

Not by any means. Check the labels to make sure that you will be getting all of the ingredients listed on pages 29 and 30 Dr. Rowland's book "The Nutritional Bypass" and within the ranges indicated. The absence of even a single key ingredient could render the product ineffective for the purpose you have in mind. If the supplements you are considering do not provide at least the daily minimums suggested of all nutrients - but especially vitamin C, methionine, cysteine, HCL, niacin and vitamin A - it may be just an expensive vitamin - mineral formula with no real arterial cleansing action. Deal with a supplier that has a proven track record in manufacturing these very specialized kinds of formulations. Imitators tend to cut corners - something you do not want to do with your health.
