Inhibition of spontaneous metastasis in a rat prostate cancer model by oral administration of modified citrus pectin.
…metastasized. Many stages of the metastatic cascade involve cellular interactions mediated by cell surface components, such as carbohydrate-binding proteins, including galactoside-binding lectins (galectins). Modified citrus pectin (pH-modified), a soluble component of plant fiber derived from citrus fruit, has been shown to interfere with cell-cell interactions mediated by cell surface carbohydrate-binding galectin-3 molecules. PURPOSE: The aim… Continue reading
Effect of dietary pectin on the production of immunoglobulins and cytokines by mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes in mouse colitis induced with dextran sulfate sodium
Authors Lim, B. O., Lee, S. H., Park, D. K., Choue, R. W. Abstract The present study explores the dietary effect of pectin on the MLN lymphocyte functions of mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DS)-induced colitis. We found that the immunoglobulin (Ig)A level in mesenteric lymph node (MLN) lymphocytes was high, while the IgE level was lower, in mice fed with pectin than in those fed with cellulose. Interestingly, the fecal IgA concentration of th… Continue reading
Modified Citrus Pectin Packs Powerful Immune Punch
Santa Rosa, Calif. (Sept. 1, 2011) — New research published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine shows Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) packs a powerful immune punch. The study uses human blood samples to demonstrate the ability of a specific form of Modified Citrus Pectin to very significantly induce and enhance the benefits of T-cytotoxic cells and human Natural Killer (NK) cells. The NK-cell’s cancer killing activity wa… Continue reading
Modified Citrus Pectin — New Study Proves its Power
Modified Citrus Pectin Fights Cancer It’s a natural compound that can help you fight off cancer, but chances are you haven’t heard of it. It’s derived from common citrus fruits known for their detoxifying and antioxidant properties, and it’s safe, gentle and effective. I’m referring to a specific type of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), the soluble fiber found in the pith of citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, and orang… Continue reading
New Study Shows Modified Citrus Pectin Activates Powerful Immune Responses
Santa Rosa, Calif. (August 17, 2011) — Groundbreaking research demonstrates the ability of a specific form of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) to greatly enhance immune function. The study found that MCP activated B-cells in a dose-dependent manner, and induced a highly significant dose-dependent activation of T-cytotoxic cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. The NK-cell’s cancer killing activity was demonstrated against live leukemia cancer ce… Continue reading
Columbia University Study Shows Modified Citrus Pectin Fights Prostate Cancer
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2010) — Researchers at Columbia University recently analyzed the positive effects of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) on human and mouse prostate cancer cell lines. The results, as reported by lead researcher Dr. Aaron Katz in the publication of Integrative Cancer Therapies, show that MCP inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in both androgen-dependent and and… Continue reading
Columbia University Study Shows Modified Citrus Pectin Fights Prostate Cancer
Modified citrus pectin could be a valuable tool in the fight against prostate cancer, according to the results of a new published study. Researchers at Columbia University recently analyzed the positive effects of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) on human and mouse prostate cancer cell lines. The results, as reported by lead researcher Dr. Aaron Katz in the online-first publication of Integrative Cancer Therapies, show that MCP inhibits cell prolife… Continue reading
Disease progression and survival of patients with positive lymph nodes after radical prostatectomy. Is there a chance of cure?
Authors Bader P, Burkhard FC, Markwalder R, Studer UE. – Deparment of Urology and Institute of Pathology, University of Bern, Switzerland. Publication J Urol 2003 Mar;169(3):849-54 Abstract PURPOSE: In prostate cancer involvement of regional lymph nodes is regarded as a poor prognostic factor. Is this also true for micrometastasis if a meticulous lymph node dissection is performed? We determined progression rate and survival of patients wi… Continue reading
The Threat of Radioactive Fallout: How to Protect Yourself
…latile and dangerous source of energy. As a doctor and researcher, I have always been deeply concerned about the health effects of living with nuclear energy. In fact, it was the tragedy of Chernobyl and the subsequent use of pectins to reduce radioactive levels in child victims of this disaster which prompted my original research into the use of modified citrus pectin to chelate radioactive particles and heavy metals. For more information and re… Continue reading
Medical Doctor Shares Life-Saving Findings at Cancer Control Society Conference
…This will lead to greater meaning for their life and the lives of people around them.” Dr. Eliaz also had the opportunity to present new research on the immune-enhancing and cancer fighting properties of Modified Citrus Pectin, as well as the cancer benefits of two different poly-botanical formulas that he developed. Another important topic of discussion was the role of unhealthy galectin-3 levels and their effects on the body. Critical Res… Continue reading
