Today I went to Valley Health Mill in Pleasanton and purchased my first bottle of Modified Citrus Pectin or MCP. This readily available supplement has been shown to inhibit cancer cell metastasis, lower cholesterol, remove toxic metals from the body and build the immune system. Picturing a healthier Brenda, I happily took 6 capsules or 5 grams which is the recommended dose to build immunity. For those who are fighting off active cancer 5 grams 3 times a day is recommended, along with your Dr's approval of course. MCP is also available in powder form that mixes easily with juice or water.
The health-enhancing properties of citrus fruits have been known for centuries. In 1593, Great Britian's Sir Richard Hawkins suggested that something in lemons and oranges prevented the scurvy that bedeviled sailors on long voyages. That medicinal ingredient was identified as vitamin C in the 1920's, and since then we have learned that citrus fruits contain many other vitamins, minerals, and health-enhancing substances. One of these is the pectin found in the fruit's rinds. A soluble fiber, pectin is known to help counteract diarrhea and reduce cholesterol levels. But its effects are limited to the intestinal tract, as it is not readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Medical researchers recently have learned how to "chop" citrus pectin into smaller "pieces" and to subtly change its structure to make it much more absorbable.
Dr. Isaac Eliaz is a cancer researcher and the medical director of the Amitabha Medical Clinic and Healing Center in Sebastopol, CA. His studies show that MCP molecules bind to receptors on cancerous cells, preventing these cells from attaching to healthy tissue and blocking the formation of blood vessels to feed the cancerous cells. Once this has occurred, the cancer cells starve and die or are eliminated by the immune system. Also, heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic have been implicated in a wide number of health problems, including arteriosclerosis, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, impaired immune function, and an overgrowth of Candida albicans. Research exists showing the effectiveness of pectin in chelating (binding to) these heavy metals and removing them from the body. Details of Dr. Eliaz's MCP studies.
MCP is an excellent product, and should be taken everyday IMO. I take it as a preventitive cancer product with my vitamins in a class of water or orange juice.
