Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP)

 

Top Research Institutes Add to MCP’s Substantial Scientific Evidence

Multiple published studies on Modified Citrus Pectin conducted at top research institutes have uncovered  numerous cancer-fighting, cardiovascular and health promoting benefits, including powerful immune activation and superior Galectin-3 inhibition. As MCP’s substantial body of scientific evidence continues to grow, there is ample proof that this unique nutraceutical is highly effective and safe for long-term use.

Proven Galectin-3 Blocker

MCP is the only proven naturally derived Galectin-3 blocker. In addition to fighting cancer, the inhibition of harmful excess galectin-3 in the body is proving to be a critical component in the fight against cardiovascular disease, inflammation, fibrosis and other illnesses.

Offers Daily Health and Disease Prevention

In the fight against cancer, no one product can be considered a “magic bullet.” However, the remarkable efficacy and safety of MCP make it an essential component within the world of integrative therapies. As ongoing research further validates the many outstanding health benefits offered by this natural product, MCP is becoming one of the most important nutrients to take on a daily basis for health maintenance and disease prevention. One specific form of MCP continues to be the most effective and widely researched MCP available on the market, and the only one used in clinical trials.

MCP Fights Cancer

I have used MCP successfully for over 20 years as an essential component of my integrative cancer protocols for patients with cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, colon, liver, pancreas and other cancers. I have seen tumors shrink and metastasis reversed, together with significant improvements in patients’ overall health and vitality. While each of my patients receive highly individualized protocols specific to their unique needs, MCP always plays a leading role in all my cancer-fighting and health-promoting programs. The powerful ability of MCP to reduce cancerous cell growth and prevent the spread of cancer throughout the body continues to be proven in ongoing peer-reviewed research and the findings are significant: MCP is a safe and highly effective therapy with the ability to support cellular health, immune function and longevity.

Recommended MCP Dosages

  • For active cancer: 15 grams MCP/day (5 grams three times a day on an empty stomach).
  • For biopsy patients: 15 grams MCP/day (5 grams three times a day on an empty stomach) for one week before the procedure and at least two weeks after.
  • For cancer prevention: 5 grams MCP/day (on an empty stomach on an ongoing basis).

MCP in the Removal of Heavy Metals and Toxins

MCP has been clinically proven to safely and effectively chelate heavy metals and environmental toxins from the tissues and blood stream, without removing essential minerals within the body, which is a common side effect of other chelation therapies. The ability of MCP to safely and effectively reduce total body burden of heavy metals without leeching essential minerals, has been clinically proven in peer reviewed clinical trials.

Cellular Health

Cellular health is a broad topic, but simply stated, it is the basis on which our health and vitality rests. With regard to cancer prevention and treatment, maintaining cellular health and integrity is one of the essential strategies in complementary medicine. Specific nutritional supplements that help to promote normal cell replication and differentiation, boost the body’s immunity against abnormal cell growth and reduce DNA damage to cells are important components in the prevention and treatment of cancer. When cancer has already begun to grow, it is essential to fight the growth process with specific nutrients that have been shown to inhibit cancer cells and prevent metastasis.

Modified Citrus Pectin

Whether you’re looking for long-term cancer prevention or an effective natural adjuvant therapy, one of my top recommendations is always Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP). Derived from the pith of citrus fruit and then modified through an enzymatic process to meet specific molecular chain and weight characteristics, MCP directly attacks cancer by binding to Galectin-3 molecules (“sticky” surface molecules that promote angiogenesis and metastasis) and blocking them – which means that cancer cells can’t spread and grow.

Early research on prostate cancer showed that oral administration of MCP to rodents resulted in a dramatic reduction in prostate cancer metastasis to the lungs. More recent clinical research from this same group of scientists has extended the protection of MCP to breast and colon cancer and has shown that MCP also blocks the growth of primary tumors and prevents the formation of new blood vessels that would feed the tumor itself. In fact, advances in the past several years have introduced a new, even more potent form of this compound which has demonstrated even more compelling results among late-stage cancer patients.

Medicinal Mushrooms

Medicinal mushrooms have been well researched for their anti-tumor and immune-stimulating effects, and are absolutely essential for the supplemental maintenance of vitality. If you have cancer, beneficial mushrooms include Coriolus, Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake, Agaricus, Phellinus and Umbellatus. For the sake of convenience, look for a balanced mushroom formula that includes all of these.

Supplement Doses and Action Properties
