Shocking Confessions of a Drug Company Insider

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."

Merry Christmas To All! (From Cancer Defeated)

Merry Christmas — and Thank You! I feel that on this day we should pause for a moment from figuring out ways to beat cancer, and just enjoy the blessings of the season. I hope the blessings are abundant for you and those you love, whatever faith you practice or holy days you celebrate. This is also a good time to thank you for reading our publications and supporting our work. Our mission is to relieve people's suffering. It's as simple as that — simple to say, but not simple to do. It's certainly not free. Your dollars make it possible for us to research and write the books and articles we publish, get them printed, travel to Europe, Mexico or elsewhere as needed to interview doctors and get more information — to do all the things we need to do to bring the best cancer treatments to you. It takes around four months of full-time work for a highly qualified writer to create one of our Special Reports. The full-length books, of course, take much longer. We have three highly qualified technical people on our staff just to solve the myriad problems of publishing and distributing on the Internet. You would be amazed (I am, every day) at how complicated it is. By my count, about ten people earn their primary living from Cancer Defeated Publications and about ten more earn a large chunk of their living from it. Many have children to support and mortgages to pay. We're mindful every day of what a blessing you are in our lives. Let me introduce you to our staff. . . Sherry Finn is my partner and a valued advisor to everyone in this venture. Her innate kindness, modesty and truthfulness inspire the whole staff to a higher standard. Sherry lives in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Joe Ackerson works with me in our Virginia headquarters. He's my personal assistant, the company's bookkeeper, the fulfillment manager who makes sure you get your books or reports if you order a printed copy. . .and more. Joe's lovely wife Mia helps us pack a book now and then as needed (and also cooks me treats!) Cami Lemr, near Atlanta, has been with Cancer Defeated from the beginning — six years. She started out packing and shipping books and reports for us. Now she answers all our customer service emails and also proofreads for us, so that our material doesn't arrive in your inbox full of misspellings and other bloopers. Cami is Joe's sister. Jenessa Hansford, packs and ships books for us, as do the happily married Ken and Joanie Kurpik. All three live in Virginia. Milli Hare, in Virginia, fields phone calls from customers (but we prefer that you email if you have a problem!) Shelley Couillard, in Florida, plunges into the scary jungle of our computer system every day and creates the labels we use to ship books and reports to customers. Our technology experts Michelle Mato is our Information Technology Advisor and the person we count on to keep us up and running on the Internet. Michelle has been with us from the beginning and has been one of the key people who helped build the organization. She lives in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Steve MacLellan, in Nova Scotia, Canada, is our Webmaster. That means he's our nuts and bolts expert on computer programming, websites and order-taking processes. Steve designs our newsletters and makes sure they go out on time. David Dittman lives in Alabama and is the newest member of our technical team. David brings our group a very broad and deep knowledge of computer programming and web publishing. He's worked with some of the top people in the business. Turning now to our talented writing staff. . . Three freelance writers help me get out the two newsletters we publish every week: Mindy McHorse in New Mexico, Carol Parks in Michigan, and Roz Roscoe in Georgia. The newsletter wouldn't exist without them. Even with the four of us, it's almost too much work to keep up with! 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

Statistically, Hokies One of the ACC's Better Teams

Statistically, Hokies One of the ACC's Better Teams by Chris Coleman, TechSideline.com, December 23, 2011 Virginia Tech is done with 13 of their 15 non-conference basketball games, and they have a 10-3 record. They are one of just four ACC teams with 10 wins right now, and the combined record of the three teams the Hokies lost to is 33-2. The Hokies are playing solid basketball in plenty of ways, and are probably a little better overall than most people expected them to be. A quick run through the ACC stats page, as well as the RPI and SOS numbers on StatSheet.com, show where Tech stacks up to the rest of the league. Keep in mind that the ranking average takes into account how each team ranks in the league in 10 statistical categories, such as scoring offense, field goal percentage, assists to turnover ratio, etc. The ACC by Rank Team Rankings Avg. SOS RPI UNC 3.5 68 20 UVA 3.6 171 39 VT 4.4 80 54 Duke 6 28 1 NC State 6.1 37 65 FSU 6.7 31 45 Miami 6.9 38 49 GT 7 157 143 Wake 7.1 125 91 Clemson 7.1 268 228 BC 9.3 192 257 Maryland 10.3 91 96 Virginia Tech is third in the ACC in average ranking against the sixth toughest schedule any ACC team has played. Tech is first in the ACC in three point percentage defense, second in free throw shooting, while their lowest ranks are rebounding margin (7th) and turnover margin (7th). Do the Hokies need to continue to get better? Of course. They need to get better on the boards, they need to stop the ball from getting into the paint so much, and they'll have to keep shooting the ball well. However, they'll have plenty of opportunities for wins, because right now the numbers indicate that Virginia Tech is one of the top six teams in the ACC, as usual, and perhaps even better than that. I think the Hokies have three big things going for them right now: 1) Depth. The Hokies use a nine-man playing rotation, and everyone they put on the court is a solid contributor. There are no empty uniforms. 2) Shooting. This Virginia Tech team, through 13 games, has flashed the ability to knock down the open jumper. 3) Passing. Overall, this is probably the best passing team at Virginia Tech in the Seth Greenberg era. And it's not just backup point guard Marquis Rankin. Jarell Eddie, Robert Brown, Cadarian Raines, C.J. Barksdale, Dorian Finney-Smith and Erick Green have really stood out to me in that area as well. That's just about everybody on the team. In short, this is a good looking basketball team. The 2011 recruiting class, which was arguably the best in school history, actually looks slightly better than expected so far (knock on wood). They can shoot, they can pass, and they are playing well together. As they get into conference play, they'll have to beat some top 50 teams. We've already been over that. However, they are just as likely be harmed in their conference schedule as they are to be helped by it. If you scroll back up and look at the table, you'll notice that two ACC teams (Clemson and Boston College) are ranked outside college basketball red line: #200 in the RPI. Clemson is #228, while BC is #257. If you rank outside the top 200 at this point in the season, then you are a bad, bad basketball team. Unfortunately for the Hokies, they have to face Clemson and Boston College a grand total of four times this season. That's four times Tech's strength of schedule will get drug down by a lowly ranked team. If Tech manages to be upset by either team, then it will be even worse. Fortunately the Hokies only play Georgia Tech (#143) once. Come March, it looks like we might find ourselves in a familiar situation.

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.
