How government "okays" carcinogens

Government Won't Protect You from Environmental Poisons Air pollutants from vehicles… pesticides… radiation… military waste sites… Most people realize these all-too-familiar carcinogens pose a threat to our health. And even though the government knows it, too—these and many other toxins continue to spread throughout the environment due to neglect by the giant government bureaucracies that "protect" us. Continued below. . . The Secret of Enzymes Plus an Odd Fact: Most Health Foods are a Waste of Money By Lee Euler You can take vitamins, minerals and antioxidants by the handful and still suffer poor health. Now we know why. Our diets lack a vital food — a type of nutrient that even some alternative doctors don't know about. I'm talking about enzymes. Thanks to enzyme supplements, a mother's lifelong migraines disappeared, and a man with "terminal" kidney cancer was alive and well 15 years later. In fact, a great many cancer patients beat the disease and are still alive today thanks to enzymes. Enzymes are a key part of most alternative cancer treatment plans. More important: Even if you're healthy today, taking enzymes is something you can and should do now to prevent not only cancer, but also heart disease, pain and diabetes and many other ailments. Enzyme supplements are among the top-selling pain-relievers in Germany and they're even used by the German Olympic team. As for us older folks, research indicates that enzymes improve circulation and can outperform blood-clot and blood-thinning drugs. (Good-bye, warfarin!) They've even helped 9 out of 10 autistic children. A few months back I received a letter from a mother whose 7-year-old autistic son was almost completely cured after she read my Special Report called The Missing Ingredient, and then started giving him enzymes. This letter came to me out of the blue. The mother wrote, "He has basically been nonverbal until summer 2009, he started talking one day and has never stopped!!" She adds, "The enzymes have kept my 3-year-old son, Noah's eczema AWAY! We are truly blessed, and I believe our Lord led me to you and your book." How can ONE supplement possibly do all this? Just ask yourself: What if you were getting NO vitamins in your diet? You'd be very sick. This nutrient is just as important, and you're getting almost none, if you're like the typical American. Click here to learn more. In a May 2010 report titled "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now", the President's Cancer Panel expressed deep concerns that the threat from environmental contaminants is being "grossly underestimated." The group denounces government rules that place a greater burden on the American public to prove that environmental exposure to various contaminants is harmful! The rules require overwhelming proof of harm to humans before any corrective action begins. Lest you think this is merely a partisan issue, please note the panel was formed by President George W. Bush to serve a three-year term. Their report didn't come out until well into the Obama Administration. You have NO idea what you may be eating, drinking and breathing! Believe it or not, "the entire U.S. population is exposed on a daily basis to numerous agricultural chemicals," the report authors stated. Many of these chemicals are known carcinogens. The report mentioned that "40 chemicals classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as known, probable, or possible human carcinogens" are approved for use as EPA-registered pesticides. When dangerous chemical pesticides and fertilizers find their way into air, soil and groundwater, they can do some serious health damage. Farm workers, crop duster pilots and even pesticide manufacturers have been found to have high rates of prostate cancer, skin cancers, and even cancer of the lip. Exposure to approved pesticide chemicals also has been linked to a variety of cancers affecting body parts including the: Brain/central nervous system Breast Colon Lung Ovaries (of female spouses of exposed workers) Pancreas Testicles The report cited xylene as an example of an inert ingredient in almost 900 pesticides. This one chemical has been associated with increased risk of brain tumors, leukemia and rectal cancer! But you can be sure pesticides aren't the only cancerous chemicals spewing into the air, soil and water… The high price of modern conveniences… The President's Cancer Panel received expert testimony from members representing industrial and manufacturing interests. Although the list of known or suspect chemicals was too extensive to cover in one report, the panel said numerous chemicals and substances tied to industrial and manufacturing processes are persistent in the environment. The list includes some familiar villains such as: Asbestos—used to make brake linings, cement pipe, acoustical and thermal insulation; inhaling asbestos can cause mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the mesothelium membrane covering most of your internal organs Chromium—used in leather tanning, wood preservation, steel production and other process; exposure to chromium is known to cause lung, nasal, and nasopharyngeal cancers (chromium is needed in small amounts in the diet, but you don't want to breathe it) Perchloroethylene (PCE) and Trichloroethylene (TCE)—both PCE and TCE are solvents used in the dry cleaning industry. TCE is now used to manufacture adhesives, paint removers, varnishes, paints and lacquers. The report noted that high levels of PCE in drinking water have been associated with elevated breast cancer risk. And TCE has the dubious distinction of being "the most frequently detected organic solvent in groundwater." This is BAD news considering its possible link to kidney, liver, biliary and cervical cancers! The report also highlights hazards presented by medical contaminants such as radiation… modern lifestyle toxins such as tobacco smoke and wireless devices… and military hazards such as Agent Orange and nuclear weapons. If you're a regular reader of this newsletter or our books and reports, you already know the dangers of many of the substances I've mentioned. So what's the news? The news is that this is the government pointing the finger at itself. It's one thing when we fringe crazies try to tell people that food, water, workplace environments, detergents, dry cleaned clothes, and cosmetics are loaded with officially-approved poisons. It's something else when a panel appointed by the President announces the same thing. The report leveled sharp criticism at efforts to regulate contaminants in four key areas: Agricultural Indoor and outdoor air and water pollution Industrial Nuclear fallout, radiation, and electromagnetic fields The panel said government regulatory efforts are far more "reactionary rather than precautionary" — the Feds wait until considerable damage is done before taking action. Even more alarming is the panel's assertion that only a few hundred of the 80,000+ chemicals used in the United States have been tested for safety! The regulatory system is flawed and failing… The President's Cancer Panel was headed up by Dr. LaSalle D. Lefall, Jr., a professor of surgery at Howard University and Margaret Kripke, a professor at University of Texas' M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The 2010 report concluded that government agencies are "failing to carry out their responsibilities" and made recommendations for overhauling the nation's flawed chemicals management system. The group identified these five major problems that make regulation of environmental contaminants ineffective: Excessively complex regulations Fragmented and overlapping authorities along with decentralized enforcement Inadequate funding and insufficient staffing Undue industry influence Weak laws and regulations Lefall and Kripke said these problems cause agency dysfunction and make it difficult to identify and remove hazards. My private view: There's a fatal flaw in the whole concept that the government is somehow more fair, more virtuous, and more honest — that it somehow stands independently above the fray and renders impartial judgments while it's only the private sector that is self-seeking and corrupt. Government is just another player in the game. It's not going to look out for you. You have to educate yourself and look out for yourself. The biggest mistake you can make is to outsource your health and safety to the government and the various entities (like the medical profession and the drug companies) that enjoy official approval. I think the average person walks into a supermarket believing that all the products and all their ingredients have been studied, tested and government-approved. Most people think, "Surely the government wouldn't let companies sell us foods and personal products that are harmful." Oh, yes they would. The public's fatal belief that everything is being taken care of — actually supports bad practices and makes them possible. It's provided cover for a massive proliferation of tens of thousands of chemicals without anyone asking questions. Without this touching, naïve faith in regulation, consumers would be more alert and ask more questions. The day the FDA is abolished (soon, I hope) everyone will realize they have to check out things for themselves, or select health advisors they personally know and trust. In the alternative health field, most of us do that anyway. What's the big deal? Meanwhile, with such a variety of toxins bombarding you every day, you might be wondering… What should be done about environmental carcinogens? The President's panel thinks government regulation can somehow be fixed, if everyone tries real hard. The panel made several recommendations for actions that government entities could take to reduce exposure to environmental contaminants. They recommended first that the President, Congress and responsible agencies such as the EPA adopt a new national cancer prevention strategy focused on primary prevention. Lefall and Kripke said the new approach should set tangible goals for eliminating environmental toxins that can cause cancer. The group made several other recommendations, including adoption of new workplace chemical exposure assessments, stronger cooperation among agencies, and speedier development of measurement and assessment tools. As for what YOU can do to reduce your exposure to environmental toxins—the panel suggested these practical actions: Check home radon levels (see Issue #117) Choose foods grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers Drink filtered home, tap or well water (see Issue #85) Remove shoes before entering your home Use a headset with your cell phone and keep calls brief (see Issue #90) You'll find a full list of the panel's recommendations for government, industry and private citizens regarding environmental toxins by accessing the report at http://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/pcp/annualReports/pcp08-09rpt/PCP_Report_08-09_508.pdf.

Amazing non-toxic liquid kills cancer cells

Amazing non-toxic liquid kills cancer cells "If I could pick only one treatment to cure my cancer, this would be it," says a top expert on alternative cancer treatments. It's one of the world's most powerful cancer cures, according to research conducted by a scientist at the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research. Click here now and watch a new video presentation about this amazing discovery. Even the mainstream National Cancer Institute has confirmed that this do-it-yourself treatment kills cancer cells. My investigators have been searching for six years, and NO at-home treatment is better, as far as we've been able to confirm -- after looking into more than 400 alternative cancer cures. In fact, it's likely that no treatment anywhere is better, even the ones provided by top alternative cancer doctors. Yet you can purchase this amazing breakthrough over-the-counter without a prescription. A 54-year-old terminal patient named Robert totally got rid of his cancer in six months. Another patient named Arch was told he had only a 15 percent chance to live. He's still alive three years later with "no evidence of cancer in repeated CAT scans." But of course mainstream medicine HATES alternative cures like this one. Click here and watch this important presentation while you still can.

This fruit is a super antioxidant

From Lee Euler, Publisher Cancer Defeated

Supercharge Your Antioxidant Levels With this Asian Fruit One of the best ways to fight disease and prevent cancer is by keeping your immune system strong, as regular visitors to CancerDefeated.com already know. There are many ways to do that, but one of the most important is to optimize your body's antioxidant defenses. And superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants your body produces on its own. So it's great news to discover a new, dependable berry that naturally boosts SOD levels and activity in the body. It's called wolfberry. You may also know it as goji. When combined with SOD it makes one of the best health-enhancing, disease-fighting teams I've ever come across. Here's the story. . . Continued below. . . Drink This and Cancer Comes Pouring Out of Your Body "If I could pick only one treatment to cure my cancer, this would be it," says a top expert on alternative cancer treatments. Research conducted by a scientist at the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research showed this is one of the world's most powerful cancer cures. Even the mainstream National Cancer Institute confirmed that this do-it-yourself treatment kills cancer cells. Then they buried the research. Personally, I've been writing about cancer treatments for almost seven years. Out of nearly 400 that I've investigated, I haven't found an at-home treatment that's better. In fact, it's likely that NO treatment is better, even the ones provided by top alternative cancer doctors. Yet you can purchase this remarkable breakthrough over-the-counter, without a prescription. It worked for Robert, age 54, who had late stage stomach cancer. His doctors told him he didn't have chance. The most they could do was buy him a little time, using four aggressive chemotherapy drugs PLUS radiation — a deadly, toxic, last-ditch treatment. INSTEAD Robert used this non-toxic liquid and was completely cancer-free within months. The amazed doctor was forced to admit Robert's cancer was "in remission." Two years later, he was still cancer-free. Click here and watch an important video presentation about this discovery. Superoxide radicals versus SOD In a moment I'll explain why wolfberry is so valuable to your body. But first you need to know why the SOD made by your own body is so important to your health. You can get an in-depth report in Issue 92, but this is the quick tour: Superoxide is a dangerous radical that wreaks havoc in your cells. A toxic byproduct of oxygen, it causes cellular and tissue damage. Superoxide may even be the instigator in a number of diseases, from cancer to heart disease to neurological issues. Normally, superoxide is kept in check by SOD. SOD works at the molecular level to protect cells and deactivate the superoxide radical. It works to break down free radicals to the point where they're eventually converted into water and oxygen. It essentially shields the body from superoxide radicals. If that's not enough reason to want more SOD in your body, there are other reasons. Scientists now have evidence that SOD deficiencies may be the reason certain people are more likely to get breast and pancreatic cancers. Low SOD levels may also be a major factor in cardiovascular disease. As a health indicator it may be more important than high cholesterol. It boils down to this: Every one of us should make it our goal to improve our SOD levels. After all, not only is SOD linked to protection against chronic illness like cancer, but also to improvement in conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and neurological disorders. SOD may even enhance youthfulness and longevity (makes sense if you consider that aging is believed to be driven by free-radical damage). How to get more SOD in your body The problem with your SOD levels is that they decline dramatically with age. At the same time, aging usually brings about unwanted health issues as a result of free radical damage. Elevated SOD levels in the body have been shown to help protect against damage to skin, lipids (fats), and even DNA. High SOD levels also help relieve ailments like pain and inflammation, along with protecting against the diseases I already mentioned — diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative problems. The problem to date has been in creating a reliable SOD supplement from food sources. Taking oral formulations of SOD is tricky because the compound has a fragile molecular structure and can't hold up to stomach acids. SOD gets dismantled when it gets to your stomach. This presents a challenge because SOD needs to reach your colon to be properly absorbed into your bloodstream. That's where oral formulations like GliSODin® come in. Issue 127 carried an in-depth report about GliSODin®. It's a nutritional supplement made of cantaloupe extract and gliadin. The cantaloupe has high levels of SOD, and the gliadin is a wheat protein that acts as a carrier for the SOD, shielding it from stomach acids and digestive enzymes so it can travel intact to the absorptive colon. Why wolfberry works well with SOD The new research I'm excited about shows that the Chinese herb wolfberry can enhance SOD activity throughout your body. Not only that, but it appears to restore SOD levels to those you had when you were younger. Wolfberry is an edible fruit, rich in potent antioxidants and native to southeastern Europe and Asia. The tiny fruit is packed with nutrients like beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamins C, B1, B2, niacin, lutein, and zeaxanthin. It also contains over 30 essential and trace minerals, including iron, calcium, selenium, phosphorus, and zinc. On top of that, the wolfberry boasts 18 different amino acids, such as tryptophan and arginine. It's also claimed that wolfberry has a number of therapeutic benefits, including improvement in visual health, protection against diabetes, enhanced eyesight, improved sexual function for males, and a longer, healthier life span. The antioxidant ability of this herb probably comes from its unique combination of carotenoids, vitamin C, and phenolics. But along with that, scientists suspect the antioxidant effects of the berry trace back to its synergy with SOD. By accelerating the biochemical reactions that allow SOD to tackle oxidative stress in the body, wolfberry gives SOD an improved playing field, so to speak. In turn, by neutralizing superoxide radicals, SOD curbs inflammation and degenerative disease. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of wolfberry on oxygen-deprived participants. Those who received wolfberry showed higher levels of SOD activity and antioxidant capacity than those who didn't get any wolfberry. While this demonstrates a positive association between wolfberry and protection against ischemia (lack of oxygen), it also emphasizes the synergistic relationship between wolfberry and SOD. This one looks like it's worth a try It looks like your best bet is to combine orally available SOD with wolfberry. Do this, and you'll give your body one of the best known, natural boosts in overall health and disease-resistance. But like a lot of herbal remedies, don't expect a miracle overnight. Good health is a matter of steady effort and wise decisions. That said, some report a boost in energy and a decrease in medical problems after taking wolfberry and oral-SOD together for as little as a week.

Shocking Confessions of a Drug Company Insider

The plot of this story seems to be ripped from the headlines ... or maybe a  movie about a big conspiracy or a cover-up of foul play ... just like the Oscar award-winning "The Insider."      But the story is 100% true.      In 2003, a top executive of the pharmaceutical giant Glaxo-SmithKline -- worldwide Vice President of genetics -- confessed that "The vast majority of drugs -- more than 90% -- only work in 30 to 50% of the people."      What that means is ... most prescription drugs DON'T work on most people who take them!      Dr. Allen Roses is the pharmaceutical industry insider who made this shocking confession.  Although it's been an open secret within the pharmaceutical industry that most of the drugs it produces are ineffective in most patients, this is the first time that a high-ranking pharmaceutical executive has gone public.      Some industry analysts said that the confession of Dr. Roses is reminiscent of the famous words uttered by Gerald Ratner, a British retail magnate in 1991, who said that his high-street shops are successful because they sell "total crap."      But it's one thing for a company to sell worthless products ... and it's another thing altogether to sell worthless products that kill instead of heal.   FACT:  In the U.S., the odds of being killed by conventional medicine are almost 20 times (2,000%) greater than being killed in an automobile accident and almost 30 times (3,000%) greater than being killed by a gun.      It's no wonder that the majority of doctors are frustrated.  They entered the medical profession wanting to cure people --- but the only tools that medical school training provides them for treating patients are ... drugs and surgery.      Doctors have been thrust headlong into a marketing culture that relies on selling as many drugs as possible to the widest number of patients.  It's a culture that has made Big Pharma the most profitable industry in the world -- even though most of its drugs are useless, at best -- and even possibly harmful or deadly for many patients.      Dr. Roses, an academic geneticist from Duke University in North Carolina, further states:  "Drugs for Alzheimer's disease work in fewer than one in three patients, whereas those for cancer are only effective in a quarter of patients.  Drugs for migraines, for osteoporosis, and arthritis work in about half the patients."      The growing sentiment among doctors is that they want to offer their patients more treatment choices for curing disease than the medical system offers.  One member of that growing number of doctors is Dr. Paul Beals.   "I want to do more for my patients than what's offered by the pharmaceutical industry because I realized earlier on that modern medicine has become, unfortunately, more of a big business than a healing science." -- Paul Beals, M.D., C.C.N. Georgetown University School of Medicine (Course Instructor 1996-2004: Introduction to Complimentary and Alternative Medicine) When Doctors Don't Know the Cure, This is What They Turn To        Some time ago, Dr. Beals focused his medical practice on holistic nutrition and complementary medicine.  He set up a holistic program for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, liver disease, and other diseases.  His challenge, however, was finding the resources for treating diseases ... because conventional medicine offered only drugs and surgery.      He stumbled upon a book of medical breakthroughs and "forbidden treatments" that contained all the cures he was looking for.  Interestingly enough, the book was written for the layperson -- the general public -- not medical professionals.  And yet he was impressed to discover that every alternative treatment and healing breakthrough presented in the book was thoroughly researched, meticulously fact-checked and verified for its effectiveness.  And it also came with footnotes from peer-reviewed, published medical research and scientific studies.  He now regards the book as "... the 'gold standard' ... the 'bible' for alternative medicine" and believes "It should be in everybody's home and in every doctor's office."      Dr. Beals is not alone in his high regard of the book.  Countless enlightened doctors from around the world are avid fans of the book -- and use the treatments presented in the book when they themselves or their family members are stricken with diseases or health problems.      Dr. Richard Simmons thinks that everyone needs this book of medical breakthroughs and "forbidden treatments" in order to take control of their own health.  Dr. Simmons is a medical doctor who sits on the faculty at Ohio State University, where he's an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology.  He's also the former Chairman of the Alternative Medicine Committee of the Columbus Medical Association      Dr. Simmons's wife developed cancer 6 years ago, and underwent surgery which put the cancer in remission temporarily.  A year ago, her cancer came back -- and instead of turning to conventional cancer therapy, he and his wife turned to the discoveries presented in the book to help prevent further surgery and further progression of the disease.      A doctor friend of Dr. Simmons, whose practice is based in Hawaii, started developing cataracts.  A chapter of the book revealed a discovery about some little-known eye drops ... and he began administering the eye drops on himself and noticed significant improvement in vision.  He continues to take the drops to this day. The book of medical breakthroughs and "forbidden treatments" contains dozens of cures for the most prevalent diseases that plague mankind, such as ... ==>  A $200 "Cure" for AIDS / HIV - A patented low-voltage device that stops the AIDS virus dead in its tracks.  This inexpensive "in-home" device costs only $200, and is safe for home use.   ==>  A Nobel Prize Nominee Cures Cancer With 2 Common Household Items -  A simple protocol for cancer treatment and prevention based on the use of small amounts of 2 inexpensive food substances combined together in specific proportions.  Numerous independent clinical studies prove that  these 2 food items provide a powerful and effective means of treating even the most advanced cancers.  This method was shown to have a 90% success rate in saving terminal cancer patients from certain death.    ==>   An Infra-Red Helmet That Has a 90% Success Rate in Halting the Progression of Alzheimer's Disease  - There's a space-age helmet that uses new "light beam" technology to reverse Alzheimer's in as little as 30 days when used 10 minutes a day!  ==>   An Extremely Potent Anti-Inflammatory Breakthrough Does Wonders for Arthritis Sufferers -- Over 3 decades of painstaking research has led to the development of an anti-inflammation remedy that reduces swollen joints by 79%!  The anti-arthritic marine lipids derived from a New Zealand mollusk have been tested extensively at the University of Queensland in Australia -- and the results are quite dramatic!  ==>  An Herb That Virtually Eradicates Heart Disease  -  There's an herb that has been used overseas to treat over 15,000 cardiac patients over a 20-year period -- and there has been no recurrence of their disease. Dr. Ross Andersen, a doctor of naturopathic medicine (N.D.) and chiropractic physician (D.C.), was constantly looking for ways to identify the root cause(s) -- of his patients' problems.  He devoted many years of study looking for answers to the diverse health problems of his patients.  He found the answers he was looking for in the same book of medical breakthroughs and "forbidden treatments" that has been praised by laypeople and doctors alike.       "This book goes far beyond anything that I've ever used," said Dr. Andersen.  It's absolutely one of a kind ... It's so complete, so precise, so easy to use."  He particularly appreciates how simple it is for anyone to look up a disease in the index, then flip to the page(s) of the book that features the disease -- and find treatments, procedures, healing modalities, and supplements that are not only effective, but also inexpensive, non-invasive, and free of side effects.       "This book is something that every alternative physician ... and ultimately every regular physician, and every patient is going to want in their home or office so that they can get the most benefit and the answers that are necessary to get their health condition handled."      Books offering miracle cures for practically every disease are available everywhere.  But oftentimes, they present content that is erroneous, inaccurate, poorly researched -- and unsubstantiated by science.  It's no wonder that doctors and scientists ridicule such "cures" as nothing more than folklore or kitchen table wisdom.  Click here for more information about real cures for virtually every disease, and read the special report titled "How to Tell if a So-Called "Miracle Cure" is Scientifically Proven -- or Utter Falsehood."

Susan Clark, a freelance writer in Orange County, California, wrote two of our special reports plus a great deal of our advertising. She also gives us all kinds of good advice on what's most likely to interest our readers. Susan's husband Kevin shoots the videos you receive from us every now and then. Andrew Scholberg is a freelance writer who lives in Chicago. If you've ever purchased a special report from us, chances are pretty good it was written by Andy! Andy has been with Cancer Defeated Publications from the beginning and I'm not sure we would have succeeded without him. He's our expert on alternative cancer clinics, having visited and written about those in the United States, Mexico, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. And marketing experts, without whom you'd never hear of our publications. . . Shane Holley is an expert Internet marketer who's helping us develop a new, pioneering way of reaching people with information about alternative cancer treatments. Shane lives in Alabama. Tony Cornish is another charter member of Cancer Defeated. His wise counsel helped get us started when we knew almost nothing about Internet publishing. He's an expert on getting readers to open their minds and hearts to new information -- instead of hitting "delete." Tony lives in the Washington, DC area. Josh Doherty joined us last summer to help us find our way in a specialized area of marketing. We're hoping Josh's efforts will spread the word about alternative cancer treatment to thousands of people we can't reach now. Josh lives in upstate New York. Anne Caballero helps us out with a wide range of tasks including proof-reading, fact-checking, and creating marketing reports. Anne lives in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. To all of these hard-working people, many thanks — and have a blessed and joyous Christmas! You deserve it. I don't know how many people's lives have been saved by Cancer Defeated. But I suspect it's quite a few. Kindest regards, Lee Euler, Editor & Publisher

This Citrus Surprise Fights a Cause of Cancer You Didn't Know About

From Lee Euler, Publisher Cancer Defeated

This Citrus Surprise Fights a Cause of Cancer You Didn't Know About Old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away…" Your mother to you: "Eat your fruits and veggies"… USDA to you: Eat five to nine servings of fruits and veggies every day. We know about the phytonutrients in raw produce. . .and we know about the fiber. . .but there's a special type of fiber that's has incredible health benefits not only for cancer, but for heart disease, Alzheimer's and other health conditions as well. What's got me excited is that this type of fiber is a safe, non-toxic chelating agent that sounds much better (and easier) to me than chemical chelators like EDTA. That means this substance has every promise of being a safe, simple home treatment that can rid your body of lead, mercury and other heavy metals and even radioactive particles! Keep reading. . . Continued below. . . The Case Against Detoxing Why detoxing can actually make your body more toxic…Plus what to do instead to rid your body of pesticides, heavy metals, and other dangerous chemicals You’ve probably heard that detoxing is good for your health. You’ve heard it can remove pesticides, heavy metals and chemicals from your body. You’ve heard that it can bolster your immune system and help support a healthy liver. But here’s something you should know: Detoxing can actually make your body more toxic! That’s right, detoxing can actually make you sicker! Let me explain... Pectin is a soluble fiber abundant in the rinds and peels of fruits such as oranges and grapefruits, lemons and apples. You may also know it as a thickening agent in jams and jellies. One of pectin's most notable benefits is that it removes toxins from your stomach and intestines — so your mother was right about "an apple a day…". Pectin binds and removes lethal pollutants like heavy metals, radioactive isotopes, and environmental toxins which can mutate your DNA, disrupt the function of your cells, and wreak havoc on your body. More than a dozen published studies demonstrate pectin's ability to cleanse your intestines. But there's one small (or big) problem with pectin… Pectin molecules are way TOO big… Actually, pectin molecules aren't too big for your colon — but they're much too large to pass through the intestinal wall and into your bloodstream where the rest of your body can make use of them. This means fruit pectin in its natural state has little impact on the rest of your body. Its amazing healing properties remain an untapped resource outside the digestive tract. But I have good news. After many years of research, a natural but microscopic (short chain) pectin powder called Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) was developed — molecularly much smaller than regular pectin. MCP yields a flood of previously unknown health benefits and new progress in the fight against cancer. A deadly toxin in your body now has a new enemy Pectin is known to bind with galectin-3 molecules in your body. You've probably never heard of them, but I guarantee you've experienced some of their deadly effects. Galectin-3 plays a direct role in numerous life threatening diseases — metastatic cancer, for one. Excessive galectin-3 promotes inflammation, abnormal cell growth, tumors, and metastasis. Modified Citrus Pectin is naturally attracted to galectin-3, binding and blocking it to prevent the growth and spread of cancer. In fact, MCP is the only known natural compound proven to block galectin-3 and prevent it from causing cancer and other deadly diseases. Cancerous tumors are marked by uncontrolled growth and ability to spread aggressively and relentlessly (metastasis). Given the opportunity — and sufficient galectin-3 — they'll take over your whole body. Galectin-3 promotes cancer three ways… Allows cancer cells to attach to each other, forming clumps that get into your bloodstream and relocate to other parts of your body Once they've formed a main tumor site, galectin-3 allows the cancer cells to combine, grow, and attach to new sites, forming secondary tumors Galectin-3 nourishes malignant tumors, and stimulates new blood vessel growth even where there was none earlier. This proliferation of new blood vessels (called angiogenesis) feeds the tumor. Stopping angiogenesis is one of the holy grails of cancer treatment. No wonder scientists were anxious to find a way to stop these vicious galectin-3s and disable their communication and nourishment pathways. And they found it in MCP. First proven to fight prostate cancer… In 1995, scientists conducted the first research on MCP as it affects the spread of prostate cancer in live subjects. The dramatic results were published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. They showed a 56 percent reduction in lung metastases. That was promising enough to merit more study. So seven patients with recurrent prostate cancer (even after therapy) were given 15 grams of MCP daily for a full year. The researchers measured what's called the PSA doubling time — a test that indicates the speed the cancer grows. It took PSA 30% longer to double in four of the seven patients, showing MCP had slowed the rate of cancer growth. Then a study showed MCP promoted a cancer cell death rate of 76.9 to 80.7 percent — compared to just 3.8 percent in the control. Finally in 2003, ten patients with advanced prostate cancer were given 15 grams of MCP daily for a year, similar to the earlier study. Eight of them showed a significant slowing in PSA doubling time. Published research from Columbia University (2010) showed MCP inhibits cell proliferation and promotes programmed cell death in prostate cancer by disrupting the cellular signaling that helps cancer cells to spread. Still, some scientists warn that MCP by itself isn't a prostate cancer cure. I agree. This is not a magic bullet. It's one tool in the arsenal of nutrients you can use to fight or prevent cancer. It could be a very valuable nutrient if you've been told you have prostate cancer and you've decided to take the "watchful waiting" approach. MCP can also be used as an adjunct to standard therapies such as chemotherapy. It appears to fight other cancers as well. New hope for other cancers A 2002 mice study showed that Modified Citrus Pectin inhibited breast cancer growth. It achieved this result by blocking galectin-3. Earlier research supported the same conclusion. Another study showed that MCP reduced metastasis from melanoma by an astounding 90% plus rate… confirmed by a follow up study two years later. Study authors attribute this to MCP's galectin-3 binding capabilities. I find that 90% figure astonishing and very exciting. MCP could be a valuable nutrient for people suffering from this extremely dangerous, aggressive cancer. Then, a 2008 German study tracked a group of 49 patients with many kinds of cancer — colon, breast, lung, pancreatic, ovarian, throat, and others. These were late stage, advanced, mostly metastasized cancers. The patients had endured surgery, radiation, and chemo with nothing to show for it. But… 5 grams of MCP three times per day improved their quality of life and reduced pain for the majority of them. One prostate cancer patient saw his PSA go down 50% in just over 16 weeks. As I said: Not a magic bullet but a valuable aid, even for these people who had virtually hopeless cancer. Best… these results were equivalent to and in some cases better than the results the patients got with chemo — and they didn't have to suffer the toxicity and side effects. MCP fights Alzheimer's, too? Scientists also discovered that Modified Citrus Pectin can safely and gently chelate (tightly bind and remove) heavy metals and toxins from your body. Every day you're bombarded with mercury from dental fillings and seafood, aluminum from antiperspirants and foil, lead from old paint, coal power plant emissions, food, and water pipes, and more. It's nearly impossible to avoid them all. Heavy metals tend to accumulate in the body and to build to ever higher levels throughout your life. As you probably know, these toxins can create a great many health complaints, including chronic pain, high blood pressure, neuro-degenerative diseases, and of course, cancer. MCP is a negatively charged fiber chain stacked together with pockets similar to those in an egg carton. Heavy metals have a strong positive charge, attracting them to the MCP chains. The metal ions bind to these pockets, trapping, binding, and lifting them out of your system. A tip to make chelation even better… Taking it up a notch, MCP is even more effective in ushering metals out of your body when combined with alginates, from the seaweed kelp. MCP and kelp work synergistically to reduce heavy metals and prevent new absorption from your diet. A clinical study in California involving MCP with alginates (kelp) showed that removing these heavy metals led to a reduction in many clinical symptoms. Five patients decreased their heavy metal levels by 74%... improving their clinical symptoms (PSA count, asthma, IBS, adrenal fatigue and depression). They even used this at Chernobyl Pectin's incredible effectiveness was first reported amid the horrible consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It helped neutralize the effects of radiation poisoning in residents who lived near this nuclear plant when it melted down. Pectin with kelp was a powerful antidote to the toxic radiation, binding to radioactive particles and removing them. When the radioactive fallout reached the food chain, the children with pectin in their diets had significantly fewer cases of thyroid cancer than those in other regions. Importantly, the studies after Chernobyl showed that MCP chelation does not disturb your body's mineral balance, nor does it cause adverse side effects. This could make it superior to the EDTA or DMSA chemical chelation you may be familiar with. These drugs not only take toxic heavy metals out of your body, but also remove beneficial minerals like magnesium and chromium. But that's not the end of the story… Exciting new uses for MCP Now MCP has moved way beyond cancer and heavy metal toxicity. Studies show that galectin-3 is the underlying culprit in many chronic diseases linked to inflammation and fibrosis, including heart disease. Fibrosis occurs when an abnormal amount of scar tissue forms in an organ, as a result of inflammation, irritation, or other damage. It is a common factor in many chronic inflammatory diseases. Scientists discovered that MCP interrupts deadly kidney fibrosis by binding to galectin-3 molecules, defeating inflammation and kidney fibrosis. But galectin-3 also plays a role in the inflamed joints of rheumatoid arthritis. Another study showed that inflammation and bone erosion were slashed in mice with lower galectin-3 levels. And there's more… Diabetes is also linked to galectin-3 levels. As is liver fibrosis. Mice with lower galectin-3 levels had less liver inflammation and reduced fibrosis. Modified Citrus Pectin may also provide important protection for your heart, by reducing inflammation and fibrosis. A study with mice found that when galectin-3 levels in their cardiac tissues were reduced, the animals suffered from less inflammation and fibrosis within their cardio system. So, how do you know what your galectin-3 levels are? This is the $64 million question -- and we actually have an answer. Just last year, the FDA approved a blood serum galectin-3 test that's now available — and your insurance probably even covers it. This inexpensive tool can help assess your cardiovascular risk, and also your metastatic cancer risk. Your normal range should be below15 ng/ml. A powerful immune booster Modified Citrus Pectin is one of the most proven natural cancer fighting nutrients available. A 2010 study looked into MCP's immune-boosting properties. The researchers found that Modified Citrus Pectin activated T-cytotoxic, B and NK (natural killer) immune cells that are powerful agents against leukemia. NK cells play a major role in rejecting tumors infected by viruses. When MCP activated NK cells, they activated cancer cell death among chronic leukemia cells. Newer studies show it to be valuable for inflammatory and fibrosis related conditions, due to its blocking effects on galectin-3. But be forewarned… you need the right kind of MCP to be effective. Want effective Modified Citrus Pectin? Be sure it has these characteristics You already know that Modified Citrus Pectin differs from plain old regular pectin because of the size of the molelcule, which impacts its bioavailability to your whole body. But just how small does it need to be to give you the benefit you're looking for? MCP's size is expressed in terms of molecular weight, in units called kilodaltons (kDa). The pectin you have in your kitchen or in fresh fruit ranges from 50 to 300 kDa — much too large for the whole-body benefits you want. In modified form, MCP is available in pieces ranging from 3 to 15 kDa, the weight the scientific studies show to be effective and provide full benefits. The other key factor is the degree of esterification — the measurement that dictates its unique ability to bind to galectin-3. If the esterification is too high, the pectin chains link together and stick to each other — instead of to the galectin-3 molecules. The more bulky the MCP molecules, the less effective they are at deactivating galectin-3… and the less effective for stopping cancer, heart disease, and more. Look for esterification of less than 10 percent. MCP's disadvantages While Modified Citrus Pectin certainly has a lot to commend it, I have to warn you it's pretty expensive. The one developed by Dr. Isaac Eliaz — leader in the development of MCP — costs in the neighborhood of $100 for a one-month supply (lower if you're taking it for long-term maintenance at one third the amount). In this issue (see the ad above) we have an MCP offer from one of our valued sponsors. They are offering the "high quality" MCP developed by Dr. Eliaz. I strongly urge you to take a look at this offer. You can find it for less through some discounters. But you'll probably have to still budget around $75 per month. However, I was unable to determine whether the products available through discounters fit the criteria mentioned above for highest efficacy. One brand did claim to be the same formulation. None of the others addressed the issue. Modified Citrus Pectin is designed to be taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before a meal, at the rate of 15 g per day. There are no known interactions (unless you're allergic to citrus!). I think it's likely Modified Citrus Pectin will become popular as one of the most valuable nutrients in maintaining a long and healthy life. It's the only scientifically proven natural galectin-3 blocker… and is therefore critical in preventing and treating cancer, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and fibrosis. It's simple, easy, and something you can do at home (if you can afford it!) to promote your health.
