The Oral Chelation formula is based upon the research of Dr. Johanna Budwig. By addressing the formative subtle energetic factors in relationship to artherosclorotic plaque, very positive results may ensue. Unlike EDTA chelation which removes the calcium and minerals from the body, the Oral Chelation formula allows one to derive benefit similiar to EDTA while retaining the calcium and minerals that are so important. Of course, mineral homeostasis is vitally important in all stages of life. Oral Chelation was used within the clinic extensively excellent results for users of all ages. It is not limited to just individuals with circulatory problems. Calcium absorption is vital at all stages of ones life. Two very important times are during childrens growth spurt years (growing pains) and post menopausal women (women have more heart "problems" than men. This is relative to the available calcium for the heart). [MORE]

OXYGEN Much has been written about the benefits of "physical" oxygen; i.e., Ed McCabes Oxygen Therapies book, Bio-Tech¹s "Vitamin O" report... Research has shown that the benefits of Oxygen can be received by using its subtle energy counterpart. OXYGEN has been used extensively with great results with verification from oxygen monitoring equipment used in hospitals. Benefits were shown to be almost immediate! Great for everyday use. Especially appropriate for smokers, persons using bottled oxygen, atheletes or in any situation where there is a need for the benefits of immediate Oxygen is needed. Drainage formula is suggested to be used in situations where waste matter may be a result.
