Oral Chelation (pronounced “key lay shun”) is simply process by which metals, minerals and toxins are removed from body through use of certain agents (chelating agents) that bond with those elements – literally forming a circle around them – and flushing them out through body’s natural waste material. One of toxins which chelating agents identify for removal is arterial plaque. By removing this, you can avoid build-up of plaque within arteries and promote greater heart health.

EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) is one of most effective chelating agents in use today. The synthetic amino acids which make up EDTA provide foundation on which protein is built and was first utilized in U.S. in 1948. Designed as a treatment for those who were working in a battery factory as a treatment for lead poisoning – which was approved by FDA – Navy soon followed in its use of this chelating agent for sailors who absorbed lead while applying paint to ships and other government property.

In 1952, oral chelation was being used by doctors for those patients who were suffering from hardening of arteries as a result of arterial plaque build-up. Those for whom oral chelation was prescribed exhibited a reduction in both of areas.

Had it not been for using EDTA to treat lead poisoning at that time, physicians wouldn’t have had opportunity to note this effect on their patients, and impact that it had on these illnesses might never have been discovered.

Here are 3 common myths that many treadmill buyers fall prey to. Steer clear of these myths and you'll make a much better buying decision.

Myth #1) 'It has so many cool extra features, it's obviously best buy.'

Not necessarily. While workout features like 30 workout programs, handweights and bonus workout CD's are great, they really don't tell you about quality of treadmill itself. If you buy a lemon, you'll be using it for a clothes rack a year later - handweights or no handweights.

Some treadmill manufacturers (not all) offer you these extra features to try and hide fact that essential factors of a quality treadmill aren’t there:

So what if it’s only a 1.5 HP motor – it comes with a free heart rate monitor! That 90 day only warranty doesn't matter – it gives you 30 workout programs!

FACT: Focus first on core essentials of a quality treadmill (solid motor power, good cushioning, etc.) - then enjoy goodies.

Myth #2) 'It has a 2.75 Peak Duty Motor - That's way better than other one with a 2.0 Continuous Duty Motor'

Some not-so-savory treadmill manufacturers will try to impress you with peak duty motor power. Wow, you think, a 2.75 hp motor. However, what they fail to tell you that there are 2 measures of motor power: Peak Duty Horsepower AND Continuous Duty Horsepower.

Peak Duty Horsepower is power potential of motor – highest power it can run at. However treadmill cannot sustain this power and it will soon start to overheat. So this measurement is essentially useless to you.

Continuous Duty Horsepower is a more accurate measure of motor power. This is power at which treadmill can continually, steadily operate for 24 hours without slowing down. So this is more accurate number to gage motor power.
