Chelation Therapy is absolutely the most effectual substitution for surgical procedure for Atherosclerotic ailment. Chelation therapy if applied accurately can effect greatly on patients & hundreds of patients have been treated with no any requirement of angioplasty or bypass surgery Every oral chelating agent holds a synthetic amino acid called Ethylene Diamine tetra acetic acid along with the additional ingredients like unprocessed honey, honeybee pollen, royal jelly, natural vitamin C & B12 etc. Ethylene Diamine tetra acetic acid is mainly effectual in eliminating heavy metals like mercury from circulatory system. An Oral Chelating agent turns out to be more successful due to the existence of additional ingredients such as honey & Royal Jelly.

Acetic acid helps form fatty acids.These acids are not highly soluble in water, and they can be used for energy by most types of cells, they can also help keep skin healthy, help prevent early aging, and may promote weight loss by helping the body process cholesterol and help rid the arteries of cholesterol build up. Another purpose of fatty acids is to assist the adrenal and thyroid glands, which may also help regulate weight.It also acts as an antibecterial agent.

The acetyl group, derived from acetic acid, is fundamental to the biochemistry of virtually all forms of life. When bound to coenzyme A it is central to the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. However, the concentration of free acetic acid in cells is kept at a low level to avoid disrupting the control of the pH of the cell contents. Acetic acid is also a component of the vaginal lubrication of humans and other primates, where it appears to serve as a mild antibacterial agent.
