Is my Frederick Ellis Byrd, Jr. (my Rick or Rickey) related to William Byrd III? Who knows? There seems to be so many Byrds in this area. The Byrd family estate is the Westover Plantation. Throughout his life, gambling plagued his William Byrd III. He was born into a wealthy family in 1728. He became a man of great stature in his home state, Virginia. A lavish lifestyle and gambling lead him to debt. In 1777 at the age of 48 he committed suicide.
The visit to Colonial Williamsburg Virginia was an historic treat. I have never been to this area and I truly enjoyed visiting. I had to find a needlepoint store in the area which I did. It is called Haus Triol. Nestled in a unique shopping center close to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens is where you'll find this great shop. The shopping center offers beautiful grounds and great restaurants. It's the perfect place to spend an afternoon or just enjoy a quiet stroll. The Stitching Well at Haus Tirol is the perfect needlework and gift shop for every stitcher from beginner to expert. I finally bought a beautifully painted canvas for me. This means instead of giving away , selling on etsy or at the Cherry Grove Arts Project Artsale (July 25 and 26), I am doing this for ME. We also visited other shops and Bruton Parish Church. The clergy and congregation of Bruton Parish Episcopal Church extended a warm welcome to us. Located in the heart of historic Colonial Williamsburg, Bruton Parish Church has been a spirited and dynamic parish for more than 300 years. It has a beautiful garden and adjacent old cemetery.
Now to continue with chelation... Chelation refers to the ability of certain chemicals to bind with and remove calcium, iron and other metals from the body. You do know there is a lot of calcium within the arteries. Plaque within the arteries is called arteriosclerosis. The assumption or hypothesis is that the calcium is clawed out of the vessel. This is what the greek word "chelate" refers to. It could be that the calcuium and other metals are slowly dissolved from the body. This is basically how it works.
The first physician who did work at a hospital on chelation was Norman Clarke, MD in Detroit Michigan. He used EDTA (chelation) on patients with atherosclerosis. He reported that those receiving chelation had their toes and legs saved from amputation due to the newly open blood vessels from chelation therapy. To this day there are such reports. Many patients have chosen chelation versus amputation. This can only happen if the physician involved knows anything about chelation. Patients who have considered Coronary artery bypass surgery for blocked coronary arteries could have benefited from chelation.
But do you know about chelation? Has anybody close to you had a bypass or did they have chelation? Surgery carries a risk of morbidity and mortality despite the numbers done every day. Bypass grafting and stents have been considered life saving measures. I do agree with that, but at what expense to the budget and to the patient? Those procedures are band-aid approaches. Let's find out what causes the blockage in the first place. Is it truly plaque of calcium or is it a bacteria/virus that denudes the inner lining of the artery that then starts the plaque build-up It is the dietary lifestyle about which I have been preaching since day 1 of blogging? (This Blog started March 11, 2010). From what you will read in the next week you then can determine your own opinion. At the end of blogging this week I will give you a book list on the subject as well.
Rememeber: CHELATION CAN BE THE ANSWER. HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE. EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR DOCTOR. CHELATION IS NOT THE ONLY ANSWER. USE ALL DISCIPLINES OF MEDICINE BOTH ALLOPATHIC (CONVENTIONAL) AND INTEGRATIVE.
The photohgraph above is the Dogwood Flower.
The genus Cornus comprise a group of 30-50 species of mostly deciduous trees and shrubs in the family Cornaceae commonly known as dogwoods. Some are herbaceous perennials; a few of the woody species are evergreen.
Until tomorrow...
